How To Choose A Realtor

Filed Under Sellers | Comments Off

If you’re looking for a real estate agent to sell your home or help you buy a home, the video below talks about how to choose a Realtor.

Note: In the video I may cover a point and go overboard in simplifying the obvious, but I am trying to make an impact on homeowners especially, who choose their real estate agent based on the commission alone. So please give me a little “room to breathe” the obvious as it helps make my point in the video.

Bottom Line

You must get your home on the market in the next 5 to 7 days in order to give yourself and your Realtor, a chance at selling before you lose another 6%. Waiting until next year? Why? The long-term hold periods are well over 5 years. It’s a NUMBERS game and the NUMBERS are not in your favor. If you want to retire to Florida or move into a gated community or you want to upgrade or whatever your personal situation is, waiting is not a good option at this time unless you plan to live in your current home for more than 5 to 10 years (yes, 10 years to get back to 2007 price levels – best case scenario).

33,067 residential homes and condos for sale in Suffolk, Queens and Nassau – right now. 74,000 homes in the foreclosure process – right now. As they come to market, these homes, whether they’re a short sale or bank-owned, will lower prices further because they’ll be used in appraisals in the given area(s). 6% loss of equity values over the next 3 to 6 months. Those are the numbers.

The good news is, you can sell your home for more money now and overall, the Long Island real estate market is still up nearly 39% in home values since 2000. Everyone pays attention to how much they’ve lost…but looking at it from the bottom up, rather than top-down, a 39% return since 2000, is blowing away any other investment vehicle out there. I say, cash in on your investment now. The next 60 days is critical.

[Note To Home Buyers: Real estate is a long-term investment. I bought my personal residence in June of 2008 fulling knowing that the value would go down. I plan to own this home for many years, both as a home to live in (now and for the next several years) and in the future (hold on to it and rent it). I have a low interest rate and I love where I live. For the past 3 years, I have had the benefit of a Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction, I've paid down my principal and most importantly, my wife and I have loved every minute of living in our home. So if you read this and don't think it's a great time to buy now - you are missing the point of home ownership and all of its benefits. Lastly, the average net worth of a renter is less than $5,000 approximately whereas the net worth of a homeowner is over $95,000. Buying now, today, is a great decision.]
