In last month’s article, “Has the Real Estate Bubble Burst ?”, we discussed the slow down in the real estate market and it’s effects, as well as what to expect in the future. For those looking to sell their home the question is, how do I get top dollar for my home in such a market?

In my first article last year the question was “Is There a Real Estate Bubble?” and the answer in short was that it really depended on local conditions as well as the economy and interest rates. My prediction was that locally the market would slow down over the course of a year or two. In fact the market has slowed considerably and sooner than most experts dreamed.

Deciding on whom to trust to sell your home can be a difficult task. There are a lot of real estate companies and agents out there spending a lot of money advertising trying to make homeowners aware of their services and how they differ from the rest of the pack. Many times homeowners will choose an agent based on a referral, others based on advertising and some based on interviews of several agents (choosing the one that seems the best).

Most people in the real estate industry refer to this as For Sale by Owner or FSBO (fizzbow). Many consumers fed-up with high commissions start out by trying to sell on their own. Although on the surface this seems like a good idea you may want to consider some of the facts and information presented in this article before you make the decision.

Before you get to the point of making or accepting a purchase offer/contract ask for and read a contract to get familiar with the various clauses and paragraphs. Buying or selling a home, the contract is vital to insuring a smooth transaction and in protecting your interests. Be sure you choose an agent to represent you that is a good negotiator, understands contracts with an eye to structuring the contract to reach your goals and minimize any risks. It’s true for the most part that agents use standardized contract forms but choosing the right forms, and adding in the necessary addendums and/or contingencies into a contract can make the difference between success and disaster. Every real estate transaction is somewhat unique as all parties have a different set of concerns and each home has its own set of issues, all of which must be addressed in the contract.

All homeowners, whether they’re selling or not, wonder what their home is worth. It’s one of the big topics of conversation at many parties. Determining a home’s value starts at the neighborhood level. Read the rest of this entry »
