FHA Approved Pre-Foreclosure Sale Success

Svetlana Stolyarova,Local-n-Global Realty, Broker (Local-n-Global Realty) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 19:41:38 -0700

FHA Approved Pre-Foreclosure Sale Program helped make Short Sale in South Euclid a success story.

It feels good to complete a Short Sale and get sincere thanks from your selling clients.

We've just closed one Short Sale in South Euclid OH. I mention the city only because it's the area where buyers better chose privately owned or bank owned sales over Short sales.

Short Sale is a stigma, and agent needs guts, persistency, excellent communication skills, and good preparation in order to make it happen. It's a stigma mostly because of too many uncertainties related to Short Sales. Fantasy of listing price is one of the biggest issues which makes most of the buyers unhappy with an idea of dealing with the Short Sales.

My selling clients and me were lucky this time because sellers were eligible for FHA approved pre-foreclosure sale program.

From the agent's point of view, there is one big advantage of working with this program: listing price gets approved by the seller's lender. When the sellers prepare and submit all the necessary documents to their bank, appraisal gets ordered, and whatever appraised value is, this price is recommended as the listing price.

If the offer is not produced during certain amount of time, seller's lender may allow a small price reduction, usually within 4 % of appraised value. If at this price there are no offers yet, another appraisal may be ordered, and sellers and their agent get another 30 days to procure an offer.

That's exactly what happened during this Short Sale in South Euclid. First appraisal came high, and there was no way to convince any buyer to make an offer, despite all our tremendous marketing efforts to sell the house in South Euclid.

After second appraisal and consequent price reduction offer was received, accepted and approved. Sellers got the ability to move on with their lives and were granted the waiver of deficiency. Buyers got great home at a very good price. Lender avoided hassles and losses of foreclosure. Win-win, and I'm glad that Pre-Foreclosure sale program was a big help in avoiding the worst.

Good news for the buyers is that if the sellers of Short Sale properties are eligible for this program, transaction may actually go smoothly and successfully, given that you deal with experienced and patient agents.

Real Estate Agent's Tool Kit: How To Effectively Keep in Touch With Your Clients And Friends

Svetlana Stolyarova,Local-n-Global Realty, Broker (Local-n-Global Realty) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:33:53 -0800

Real Estate Agent's Tool Kit. How to efficiently keep in touch with your clients, prospects, sphere of influence and friends.

Keeping in touch is one of the most important and most challenging duties which Real Estate agents owe to themselves and to their clients.

I am talking about few categories of people with whom we, the agents, should keep in touch:

- Current sellers = communication is a-must. Lack of contacts after signing the Exclusive right to sell is the most common complaint by sellers. At least once a week communication is highly recommended. Report to the seller about your marketing efforts, pass on feed backs from the other agents, share the market updates (new competitors, sales, etc.)

- Current buyers = communication is the king. Skip few days, and you can lose the client to the other agent because buyer wants to buy the home, not to wait till agent finds time to keep in touch.

- Sellers after closing = communication may be tough, especially if your client is relocating far away from your place. Simple politeness and courtesy of sending Thank you, Happy birthday, Just thinking about you notes makes a good habit.

- Buyers after clolsing = don't abandon your clients! New homeowners need a lot of information which the agent as a local expert, can provide. Happy buyers are our best source of referrals. However, many agents tend to forget about keeping in touch with their former clients. Isn't it the reason why only 23% of all sellers and 17% of repeat buyers use the agent who worked with them before? Most of the sellers bought their current home or sold the previous one with the help of Real Estate agent. 63% of all sellers and 65% of all buyers were positive that they would definitely use their agent again ofr recommend to others*. Not keeping in touch means loss of business and it costs too much to Real Estate agents!

* Data from the NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Home Selles, 2011

- People who ever mentioned that they are thinking about buying or selling Real Estate = you want to be the agent whom these people will call once they really need a help. You want to bring your name as a Real Estate professional in front of this people. You need to keep in touch.

- Your friends, business or leisure contacts and family who ever discussed Real Estate with you = Excellent potential source of business if you keep in touch!

I am positive that every Real Estate agent knows these basics. The problem is - HOW TO MAKE KEEPING IN TOUCH EASY AND CONSISTENT?

Let's look what is in the Real Estate agent's tool box.

Let me share with you one instrument which is a great helper to any agent who wants to keep in touch easily and consistently.

It's NewPanda - contact management system, specifically designed for Real Estate industry.

Just go to NewPanda.com. You get a FREE contact management. Upload or input your contacts, set up the groups.

What can you do with NewPanda to keep in touch easily and consistently?

1. Subscribe your contacts to a monthly Real Estate Newsletter. Newsletter is pre-written for you , and it contains very interesting articles, videos, polls. You may easily cusomize it, change header, add your articles or images. Or just send the "canned" newsletter, which is not a bad idea, especially when you are real busy selling Real Estate.

2. Set up an auto-pilot e-cards. Let your contacts to get your nicely and professionaly designed e-cards every holiday, anniversary, birthday or any other date whch is significant to them.

3. Create e-listing and send information about it to those groups of your contacts who may be interested in it.

4. Track the results of your e-mail campaigns. See who opened your letter, what was the conversion rate, how many people opened it more than once, etc.

5. Create To-Do list. Remind yourself to make that important call or to arrange the lunch with your contact.

6. Print mailing labels when you need to mail the hand written or preprinted cards to your contacts.

7. Create custom messages using beautiful professionally designed templates.

Why Would You Be Waiting For Spring Time To Sell Your Beachwood OH Home ?

Svetlana Stolyarova,Local-n-Global Realty, Broker (Local-n-Global Realty) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 01:07:17 -0800

Why Would You Be Waiting For Spring Time To Sell Your Beachwood OH Home?

It's not a secret that many home sellers in Greater Cleveland postpone listings of their homes till Spring time. Usually it is worth it because our winters may be not so pleasant, and it's harder to show the houses during snow days.

Selling homes in winter may be also challenging because there are usually fewer home buyers on the Winter market than in Spring time.

Not this year. Working with home buyers, we run into situation when it's more buyers than matching homes. And I'm not talking about serial Deal seakers. I am talking about the first time home buyers or moving up buyers who need a good place for their families to live.

Let's look at the popular Beachwood OH Real Estate market. Per NorthEastern Ohio Multiple Listing Services (NORMLS), there were 78 single family homes sold in 2011. As of 01/28/2012, only 29 houses in Beachwood are offered for sale. Most of these houses have been on the market for a while - we see even the one with 934 days on the market. Average DOM (Days On Market) is 204, Cumulative average DOM is 249 days.

Winter Buyers' activity is pretty high, that's why we have 18 houses which are currently under the contract - in contingent or pending status. BTW most of these homes found their buyers after long time on the market - average DOM of over 230 days. That's a good news.

Bad news is that there are not enough homes for the active and ready buyers. Let's look at the market data. In 2011 therer were 31 homes sold in less than 60 days on the market. And 17 homes sold in less than 30 days!

Dear owners of Beachwood OH homes!

If you need to sell this year, if your house is in a good marketable condition, if you know that you need to move, please don't hesitate to call us and put your home on the market. 877-70-5551 x 801 is the right number to call. It's 24/7 Hotline, and we'll be happy to answer your questions about the pricing, marketability, staging and marketing for the best possible sale of your home.

Why would you wait till Spring when competition will be more harsh? Buyers are on the market. They may be waiting for your home.

Call 877-770-5551 x 801 now.

Remote investment: Few Simple Rules of Investment in Cleveland Real Estate if You Are Outside the Area. Part 1.

Svetlana Stolyarova,Local-n-Global Realty, Broker (Local-n-Global Realty) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:54:31 -0700

Good news for Greater Cleveland is that we have a big pool of domestic and internationl investors interested in buying Greater Cleveland Real Estate. Smart investors are attracted by low housing prices, steady rental market, great projects to revive Downtown Cleveland, including The Euclid Corridor, University Circle, Cleveland State University.

The perfect strategic location, Lake Erie with a huge supply of fresh water, great transportation system, deep cultural traditions, rich multilingual and multicultural communities, top hospitals like Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, excellent educational opportunities, lovingly cared metroparks - all these features attract more and more people to invest in Cleveland.

I would celebrate this if it were not a huge concern over the way how people do their investments and what areas and properties they chose to invest into. My concern is based on multiple calls and e-mails which I receive every day from potential or actual investors from all over the country and from overseas.

WARNING! It is dangerous for your money and well being to invest into properties which you've never seen before closing the deal. Even and Especially if you work with different investor's gurus who are not the REALTORS!

I feel sorry for people who base their decision to pay for investment (mostly - in big need of rehab) property certain amount of money based on tax assessed value or on Zestimates. It may look like a great deal from New York or California prospective BUT IT"S NOT!

So, I decided to start the series of simple rules for distant investors .

Rule # 1:

Work with trusted REALTOR. Good local REALTOR will be the best source of real information about the market condition, about the neighborhood, trends and development. Don't try to save on Market analysis! It may cost you much more than initial few hundred dollars.

Rule # 2:

Do your homework! Don't limit your homework to browsing the home evaluation portals. You may better order a complimentary Home evaluation at Local-n-Global.com which is based on up-to date information from the most trusted source - local Realtors.

Rule # 3:

Free cheese is only in the mousetrap! When the deal looks too good to be true, it sure is not that good. There is no such thing as a miracle on the market. Do the reality check! If the new house is listed on public site for $1, it means only that this house is going to go to the auction. More likely, the selling price will be close to real and far far away from miracle $1. You have right to be presented by your REALTOR at the public auction.

Is Fannie Mae a Good Landlord?

Svetlana Stolyarova,Local-n-Global Realty, Broker (Local-n-Global Realty) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:36:45 -0800

Is Fannie Mae a Good Landlord? Should it be?

We all read about new governmental initiatives allowing Fannie, HUD and the banks to rent out their properties. Let me share my first experience in representing the buyers who are buying the property from Fannie Mae with the tenants in place.

First, the sellers want tenants to stay at the house at least for 3 months after title transfer. That sounds reasonable to my clients. That sounds not bad to me. Except one little thing: I know that the City has an ordinance which requires new rental registration when either there is a change in ownership or a change in tenants. All our clients are aware of this and know that they should be in compliance.

So, we ask the sellers's agent to provide us with the lease agreement which we receive. It's a good written agreement, nothing is unusual or odd about it. There is a high chance that new owners might want to keep these tenants if they make their payments and bring no troubles. Why not?

Surprises start when we call the City.

- Tenants in the house your clients buy are squatters! - that's exactly what I heard today from the City official.

- What do you mean? I know that there is a legitimate Lease agreement between Fannie Mae and the tenants.

- It's never been registered, house has never been inspected and certified for rent. Tenants may be in a big trouble because of these owners' negligence.

Oops!

Hopefully, these tenants will not get in troubles because we notified the seller's representative immediately, and, hopefully, they will take care of bringing their rental in compliance with local ordinances.

Hopefully, future tenants will not suffer because the big guys in Fannie just ignore local rules.

More hopefully, there will be no such thing as governmental housing. It's a private market, and let the private owners and private investors deal with the tenants, their rights and responsibilities. That's the only way to keep it alive.

Follow The Money. What Investors Buy in Greater Cleveland . Cleveland East Side

Svetlana Stolyarova,Local-n-Global Realty, Broker (Local-n-Global Realty) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:36:36 -0800

Follow The Money. What Investors Buy in Greater Cleveland .

Cleveland East Side.

Cleveland is a new Mecca for smart Real Estate investors. I am talking about smart investment, made for profit, not for pleasure :-). Unfortunately, we witnessed too many not so smart decisions and too bad consequences of not too smart decisions made by some of Real Estate investors in Cleveland in the past, up to the loss of the property to foreclosure.

What exactly today's smart Real Estate investors do?

- Analyze the market

- Strategize (short term or long term - rent or flip? whom to target as your tenants or buyes? )

- Set the goals

- Underdstand and assess right investment budget: acquisition costs, Point of Sale responsibilities, remodeling costs, marketing costs, holding expenses (property taxes, proper insurance, local government registration fees, exterior maintenance, utility bills), legal fees, other professional fees (Real Estate brokerage or property management, accounting, banking)

- Plan right

- Buy at the right price and conditions

- Hire the right crew to do the repairs or remodeling, if needed.

In most cases investors chose to buy for a long term and rent out the properties, in some cases with option to sell the house to the tenants. The reality of today's Real Estate market in Greater Cleveland is that cost of ownership is much lower than cost of renting the property. At the same time rental demand is very high.

Sounds tempting, doesn't it?

Do your research, investigate pros and contras, count your money and assess your time and skills - these are great assets! Then chose carefully with whom to work, and - have a great investment!

You may start searching homes right here. We prepared for you a special search for all bank owned and HUD owned properties on Cleveland East Side.

Just click on the picture above and start your property search. With any questions, please call immediately 877-770-5551 x 801.

Pick our expertise in helping tens of investors to successfully buy and rent out their properties.

Svetlana Stolyarova,Local-n-Global Realty, Broker (Local-n-Global Realty) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:17:48 -0800

Twinsburg Real Estate.

What's Your Abram's Farm and Firelands Neighbor's House Selling for?

Twinsburg Real Estate market is one of the most active and healthy ones in Greater Cleveland. Latest additions to Ethan's Green located South of Post Rd. present Firelands, Meadows of Ethan's Green and Abram's Farm subdivisions. It's a very popular and desirable destination for many young families, mostly professionals. Since new University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic and Rainbow Hospitals locations have been opened nearby, many health professionals started settling in these developments, too.

Let's look at the number and quality of sales in 2011. It was 25 homes sold in last year for the respectable prices between $217,000.00 for the 1,990 sq. ft. house at 3055 Appleby Ln. to $378,000.00 for the 3,944 sq. ft. home at 9277 Sasha Ct.

Currently we have just six houses offered for sale in this part of Twinsburg:

9803 Burton Dr offered for $217,900

9379 Sasha Ct - $269,900

2987 Zenas Ct - $295,000

9791 Firelands Dr - $339,000

3221 Evans Way - $345,000

9298 Jason Dr - $459,900.

One property is under the contract. Looks like we have a lack of inventory in this beautiful Twinsburg neighborhood!

Solon Real Estate. Signature of Solon listings and sales.

What's Your neighbor's House in Signature of Solon selling for?
