The appraiser WANTS it to appraise, let's make their job easier!

An appraiser's job is not always easy, but it is important to remember that they WANT a property to appraise. It only makes their job more difficult when something doesn't appraise or they cannot get it to appraise with the available comparables.

First time home buyer, not unprepared home buyer.

If you are a first time home buyer, there are a few steps that are important to remember. One being that it is important to ask for advice and opinions from only a few trusted people that you decide will help you with this process. If you talk about your home purchase with everyone you know, friends, family, co-workers, etc you are going to end up with so many different opinions that your head will spin.

I am not a tour guide, this isn't HGTV.

As a Realtor in NC I am required by law to explain to a potential client or any customer, how they will be represented by an real estate agent. You can be represented as a buyer or a seller. As a buyer's agent, most experienced and educated Realtors will require that you work exclusively with them under an exclusive buyer agency agreement. This protects the buyer...if your agent isn't representing you then by law we work for the seller and must look out for their best interests not yours. And it protects the agent, who is not paid hourly or reimbursed for gas or for the time, etc, unless someone purchases a property. As an agent and a real estate consumer/buyer I will only work under this agreement. Why should I be loyal to you if you arent loyal to me?

Negotiations are often the most important factor in a real estate transaction

Negotiations are often the single most important piece to any real estate transaction. Terms of the contract, dates, price, inspection items, and repairs are all things that your Realtor must negotiate for you. If your agent does not have strong negotiating skills you could be leaving a lot on the table and not getting everything you could. Also, you must be able to trust that your agent knows the best negotiation tactics to get you what you want.

Twitter This....

I need your help. I want to like Twitter, to embrace it, and use it effectively....but it drives me insane! I cannot get excited about it or really like it at all to be honest. I don’t understand why it is common courtesy to follow someone back just because they are following you and I also don’t understand why other people care about articles online that people post all the time. Help! Make me appreciate Twitter....

Honey, I don't "do"computers...Wilmington, NC

Is it possible for someone to be a real estate agent and not use a computer...at all. No way! Not in my book. I cannot even begin to imagine how you could function...at all.

Remove by request, no need to yell at me!

If you wish to be removed from receiving any emails....even if you requested to receive them....all to have to do is let me know. Reply to an email or talk to me about it. No problem. Why would I want to send emails to someone who doesn't want them? That would be a waste of time. I do not need yelled at to follow a request. I can hear if you speak normally.

Does buyer agent commission matter?

Yes! Make sure that you are creating a buzz or excitment for a buyer's agent to sell your home. No, they cannot steer clients toward a home with higher fees to the buyers agent, but let's face it, everyone is human and who doesn't want to get paid more to do their job? When selling your home you must sell it to the agents as well as the potential buyers. A higher buyer agent commission will only benefit you the seller and could mean you see more showings and sell your home faster!

If you have comments of disagree please feel free to email Jessica @ JessicaRiffle@SeaCoastRealty.com.

Pictures really are worth a thousand, dollars that is, in real estate. Wilmington, NC

Pictures in real estate are more important now than they ever have been. With the large majority of buyers searching online and agents searching through high inventory for homes that best meet their buyers needs it is so important to make sure that your home is being showin in it's best light through the photos used. Make sure your agent is maximizing or close to maximizing the number of photos allowed on various online sites as well as the local MLS. Make sure that your home looks stellar online. It should look better and the same as it does in person. You have got to get those buyers inside and if the pictures are lacking or are not flattering, then you may lose interest.

8000 Tax Credit as Down Payment...Maybe, Maybe Not

It seems the announcement from HUD of the possibility the government allowing using the current 8000 tax credit as a down payment on a home purchase was a bit premature. They have now removed it from the website and it looks like it was more of a thought or an idea that comething concrete. Surprise, surprise....
