As agents, we love to talk about the great stuff. It's not all great. Here's an example. Little long, but worth the read.

I listed this home just before Thanksgiving in 2019. I was the 3rd agent coming on board. The first agent had it on market for 4 months, the next for 3 months. But I had some different ideas on what we could do to market this home and bring in more people. We all agreed it would work, and off we went.

3 weeks into the listing, we had a break in. Not just any break in...THEY STOLE ALL OF THE STAGED FURNITURE. Couches, chairs, artwork off the walls. They even stole the place settings on the bar. We go on hold as seller regroups, then sellers find a 3rd party on their own that can "live" in the house while it's listed, keep it clean, and keep things safe. We start showings again. It'll work this time, right?

Within 2 weeks, an agent showing the home calls and says the key doesn't work. Not only does it not work, the dead bolt no longer matches. Yep. They changed the locks and officially became squatters.

One YEAR later, after assisting them through the channels of eviction through COVID, the "tenants" are finally removed by the Marshals. We assess the damage and estimate it to be at least $25,000.

As we begin gathering estimates for repairs and prep to bring it to market yet again...a tree falls on the house at the beginning of June. Not any tree, but a BIG freaking TREE. Rafters are broken, interior ceilings have been punched through causing more damage and debris, and the cost for repairs is getting too much.

So, off market, I start to reach out to investors. Short time later, we were under contract with the home as-is (at that time, the tree was still there tarped over) and just cleared the last hurdles as we prepare to close next week.

And after 2 other agents, a burglary, a 12 month squatter, damage from squatter, and a massive tree through the roof...we still managed to get almost 75% of our original asking price and the seller can move on.

IT’S A SELLER’S MARKET! ⁣
⁣
IT’S A BUYER’S MARKET! ⁣
⁣
IT’S A BUYER’S & SELLER’S MARKET! ⁣
⁣
I mean, seriously. What does all the jargon even mean? What exactly IS a “buyer’s market” or a “seller’s market,” and how does anyone know which one we’re in? ⁣
⁣
Wonder no more, good friends. The next time you hear the oft thrown-around term, here’s what to call to mind:⁣
⁣
A BUYER’S MARKET⁣
⁣
• Lots of for sale signs around town and homes on the MLS⁣
⁣
• Homes selling below listing price with several price cuts along the way⁣
⁣
• Rising inventory levels and increase in days on market⁣
⁣
• Population and job growth trending downward⁣
⁣
• Sellers offering to pay points or closing costs or give allowances for new flooring or appliances⁣
⁣
• Sellers regularly taking their home off-market for a few weeks, then relisting it, in an effort to make it appear “fresh”⁣
⁣
A SELLER’S MARKET⁣
⁣
• Fewer for sale signs around town and homes on the MLS⁣
⁣
• More FSBOs because some think they don’t need an agent to sell⁣
⁣
• Homes selling through word-of-mouth before they are even listed⁣
⁣
• Low inventory levels and shorter days on market⁣
⁣
• Job growth above average ⁣
⁣
Currently, we're still sitting in a heavy seller's market.
⁣
But here’s the good news: whether you need to buy or sell, I can help! Send me a message and let’s chat about your real estate goals.

Here’s who SHOULD sell FSBO —— Homeowners who have extra time on their hands, money they’re willing to leave on the table, liability and risk they’re willing to take on, and contract and logistics details they’re willing to wade through.⁣
⁣
Not something that piques your interest? Don’t blame you one bit.⁣
⁣
If you want to save time, price your house correctly, maximize your profits, and have an agent shoulder the majority of the liability, risk, contract details, and logistics, you need a top-tier agent on your team—especially when you consider 90% of FSBO attempts fail altogether.⁣
⁣
Get your home sold easily with an agent you trust. If you’re thinking of selling, reach out and let’s talk.

Open house weekend is coming!

Come and check out this brick front home with a killer fenced in front yard. In fact, it's the only one in the neighborhood approved for one! You can thank the seller's persistence with the HOA for that one.

This Sunday, July 18th, from 2-5pm.
