What do all these designations mean? Voted Super Real Estate Agent since 2007

by Twin Cities Business and Mpl. St. Paul Magazine!

How does a Realtor get on this list that includes only 3—5% of the licensed real estate agents in Minnesota? It is the consumers themselves who identify and evaluate agents. Tens of thousands of home buyers who have recently purchased a home for $250,000 or more are asked to name and evaluate agents with whom they have had direct and personal experience. Both positive and negative responses are accepted and weighted. In this way, the very origins of this list are client satisfaction, not volume or sales dollars. No real estate agent has paid to appear on the list. A panel of industry experts reviews each real estate agent on a preliminary list. Panelists are able to recommend other agents for inclusion and to removal. The list is based on what consumers need, namely these 9 items: customer service, integrity,

market knowledge, communication, negotiation, closing preparation, finding the right home, marketing a home, and overall satisfaction. Since only 3—5% of real estate agents make the list, it really contains only exemplary professionals!

Have you ever been driving down the road, seen a home for sale and wondered how much the seller was asking?

How many bedrooms and bathrooms? I wonder what it looks like inside? To sa sfy this curiosity, you may have turned to one of the many mobile Apps that are currently available. Using mapping technology, many with GPS, you can locate where you are and make a guess that the dot on the map is the home for which you want to find the informa on. Wouldn’t it be easier, though, to simply press a bu on, look through your mobile device’s camera and all of the desired informa on would simply pop up on the screen without you having to enter criteria or search through a map?

As you might have guessed…we have that technology. The RE/MAX® Results App gives you all of the bells and whistles offered by the leading real estate Apps, including mapping, GPS, criteria searches and all the tools that make our App the best in the industry. But we didn’t stop there. We developed a technology called ResultsRadar that allows you to simply point your mobile device at an ac ve lis ng and get all of the per nent data that you need. It delivers you all of the MLS informa on, including photos, descrip on, room dimensions, taxes, etc.

If you know anything about RE/MAX Results, you know that we would not be happy stopping at just making the world’s most advanced and user friendly real estate App. You see, for the data available on our APP we don’t just pull from MLS like every other company does. We pull directly from Results.net. In this way, you not only get all of the data from MLS but you also get all of the improved lis ng informa on (up to 50 high resolu on images; enhanced descrip ons; integra on into social media, tex ng and emails, etc.)

Download it now and give it a try, you will wonder why you did not have it sooner!

How to Make a Good First Impression

When showing your property, you only get one chance to make a

good impression. Here are some sugges ons to increase the

desirability of your property to poten al buyers, and help you sell

at the best price, in the least amount of me.

Curb Appeal Is Essen al A buyer‘s first impression is formed by viewing the outside of your property. A mowed lawn, trimmed hedge and weeded garden all help create a good first impression.

Inspect the exterior of your property, including shut-ters and windows. Steel or aluminum siding should be clean. If the house needs pain ng, buyers will no ce, and may consider it a major objec on to purchasing your property.

Pay close a en on to the front door—it should sparkle. Polish the doorknob, clean the glass and replace a worn screen.

Neatness Counts A sparkling clean home greatly enhances its appeal to buyers. Scrub each room from top to bo om covering every nook and cranny. The entryway, kitchen and bathrooms are key areas, and should be given special a en on.

Shampoo the carpe ng if it hasn‘t been done recently. If your carpet is old or ma ed it will be a detriment to selling the property. Consider replacing it or removing it if there is hardwood underneath.

Eliminate Clu er Closets, cupboards and other storage areas should be neat and unclu ered. Box everything you do not use regularly and donate it, sell it, throw it or store it.

Look at each room in the house with "less is best" as your objec ve. Remove unneeded furniture to make each room appear more spacious. Kitchen countertops should be clear of everything except what you use daily.

If it‘s Broken, Fix it Repairs such as a loose door knob, broken dishwash-er, dripping faucet and squeaky or s cking door all detract from a property‘s value. An a ernoon spent making needed repairs now can eliminate buyer‘s objec ons later. Hire a professional, if needed.

Small Addi ons Make a Big Impression With minimal expense, you can improve the appearance of any room. Consider replacing, worn area rugs and throw pillows. New towels can freshen a red kitchen or bath. Flowers add warmth and charm to any loca on. Iden fy the things you can do to make areas more pleasing to a buyer.

It‘s a Team Effort Enlist the help of all houshold members to get the house ready—and keep it ready—for prospec ve buyers. A few minutes spent dying up each morning can make the difference for a showing in the a ernoon!

For help with your home projects, ask Wendy for details.

What‘s Involved in Showing Your Property

Coordina ng Appointments All Realtors from Remax Results and other coopera ng brokers will call your lis ng associate‘s office to request an appointment to show or preview your property. The office appointment coordinator will call to inform you of requests of appointments. The coordinator will also contact Wendy to inform her of the appointment.

If You Cannot Be Reached If every a empt to reach you has been made, the appointment coordinator will go ahead and confirm the appointment with the reques ng Realtor. Unless specifically instructed, it is presumed that you do not want to miss any opportunity to show your property to interested par es.

Appointment Time Frame A request for an appointment is usually made within an hour or two but could be as soon as a few minutes, or as distant as a day or two. Realtors a empt to be punctual, however, circumstances may cause them to be earlier or later than expected. In the event an associate needs to cancel an apointment, you will be no fied as soon as possible.

Special Instruc ons Wendy will see that any special instruc ons you have communicated are noted in your property records. Appropriate informa on (pets, security, etc.) will be provided to the reques ng Realtor when the appointment is confirmed.

The Appointment All licensed Realtors will iden fy themselves and offer you their business card. If a card is not offered to you, don‘t hesitate to request one. If you are not present during the appointment, the Realtor will gain access by using the lock box on the property.

Privacy Is Important Avoid having too many people present during appointments. The buyer may feel like an intruder and may hurry through your property. Allow the Realtor and buyer to talk, free of disturbances. Realtors know their buyer‘s requirements, and will emphasize the features of your property that are important to the client.

If You Plan To Be Away Please inform your Realtor of any extended period of me when you will not be available to give permission for appointments. If possible, you should provide your associate with a number where you can be reached in the event an offer needs to be presented.

Previewing Proper es Realtors who preview your property, without a prospec ve buyer along, are simply educa ng themselves on current proper es on the market or are a emp ng to match the needs of a client. If your property meets the needs of their client, they will call and make another appointment to show your property.

Unexpected Requests If anyone stops by without an appointment to see your property, ask them to call the phone number on the "For Sale" sign to schedule an appointment. Even an individual iden fying themselves as a Realtor needs to coordinate appointments through Remax Results.

Pricing Your Property for Maximum Return

The ideal price sa sfies both your desire for the highest return and the

buyer‘s need for top value. I can help you define that cri cal

narrow range.

Understanding the concept of market value.

The market value of your property is rela ve. It is not based on what

you paid for the property or what you have put into it through the

years. It isn‘t affected by your opinion of its worth, my opinion, or

even that of a professional appraiser. The value of your property is

determined soley by what a buyer is willing to pay in today‘s market.

Consider the compe on.

Buyers will decide whether your property is realis cally priced by

comparing it to others currently for sale. Most people look at an

average of 12 proper es before buying. Thus your property must be

priced in line with the compe on.

Seller‘s Desire

d Price

Buyer‘s Desire

d Price


Pricing Your Property to Move

Price it right, right from the start.

Your property will generate the most a en on and showings in the

first weeks it‘s on the market. For best results, you should list it at

a realis c price right from the beginning. If your price is too high

rela ve to the compe on, the right

buyers will not even look at an otherwise

Beware of the effects of overpricing.

Don‘t start with a high price and the assump on you can reduce it

later. By the me you decide to lower the price, it may be too late, as

interest will have already waned. Once the price has been reduced,

poten al buyers become wary and wonder why the property hasn‘t

sold. In the end, you will probably have to se le for a selling

price below market value—and you will have

wasted precious me in the process.

How quickly will your property sell—and at what price?

Lis ng price is the single most important factor in the sale of your property. The best way to ensure the mely sale of your property is to price it compe vely.

The be er the condi on of your property, the higher price it should bring and the faster it should sell.

By exposing your property to the broadest possible audience through a coordinated marke ng plan, you‘ll have a be er chance of a rac ng a qualified buyer.

Your flexibility in nego a ng the terms of your agreement (points, closing date, appliances, etc.) can also enhance your ability to sell your property.

If there are a large number of comparable proper es for sale, there is more compe on for buyers. In a supply and demand market like real estate, a large inventory of similar proper es makes our job more challenging.

The loca on is another key factor in the sale of your property.

The economy will also affect the sale of your property, par cularly through interest rates and consumer confidence.

Many factors affect both the amount of me it will take

your proprety to sell and the price you will receive for

it. Some of these we can control, others we cannot.

A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the sale proceeds fall short of the balance owed on the property‘s loan. It o en occurs when a borrower cannot pay the mortgage loan on their property, but the lender decides that selling the property at a moderate loss is be er than pressing the borrower. Both par es consent to the short sale process, because it allows them to avoid foreclosure, which involves he y fees for the bank and poorer credit report outcomes for the borrowers. This agreement, however, does not necessarily release the borrower from the obliga on to pay the remaining balance of the loan known as the deficiency.

A foreclosure is a situa on in which a mortgage lender takes possession of the property because the borrower has not made payments on interest or principal for a certain period of me. Once the lender takes over the property, it usually sells at a discounted price so as to recover the amount lost on the mortgage loan. Foreclosure results in a loss for the lender and is obviously quite detrimental to the borrower; as a result, it is the last resort.
