EXIT Realty Foothills Warns Sellers about Upgrades That Don't Pay

4 Upgrades Not Worth the Time or Money

La Verne , Ca (Grassroots Newswire) 10/29/2010 --

It is always a good idea to take a good look at your house from a buyer's perspective when you are about to put your property up for sale. Making sure your home has great curb appeal or upgrading the kitchen or bathrooms is definitely something to consider. The question, however, is how much is too much? According to Investopedia.com there are four upgrade that are not worth your time and money.

1. Overstated Improvements – It is important to take a look at your competition. How does your home compare to houses in your neighborhood? If most of the homes are single story ranch style homes, it is probably not the best idea to make your home a two story Tuscan villa. This kind of improvement will not only make you lose money, it could scare prospective buyers.
2. Swimming Pools – Contrary to popular belief, it is rare for swimming pools to add substantial value to a home. Most often when buyers see a pool they see extra costs and safety issues, especially if they have small children. It costs a small fortune to install an in-ground pool, and it is unlikely that you could recoup your investment.
3. Replacing Popular Features – If you are thinking of making an improvement to your home before selling, make sure you are not taking away sought after items. An example of this is turning a garage into a game room. If all the other homes in your neighborhood have a garage, that is a good indication that your home should have a garage as well.
4. Eclectic Decor – It is always fun to decorate your home with your own personal style, but if you are someone who adores hot pink walls and zebra stripped carpet, now is not the time to express your style. It is important to keep to the traditional in design when selling your home. The goal is to get the buyers to picture themselves living in the home.

There is nothing wrong with doing a little bit of upgrading to your home when putting it on the market. Just remember if you spend a large amount of money on remodeling, there is little likelihood of recouping that investment.

Leigh Giannotti EARNS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNATION

TO HELP HOMEOWNERS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE

Merritt Island, FL (Grassroots Newswire) 10/27/2010 -- Leigh Giannotti of EXiT Island & Beach Realty has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by “distressed” homes in the foreclosure process.

Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.

In Brevard County, thousands of homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges. Local experts say that even high-priced homes are not immune.

“This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales,” said Giannotti. “It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure.”

Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., said that Realtors® such as Leigh Giannotti with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. These experts also may better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience, he said.

The Distressed Property Institute opened in January 2008 and provides training on-site and online. The CDPE is the premier designation for Realtors helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales.

“Our goal is to educate as many people as possible so we can help as many homeowners as possible,” Charfen said.

EXIT Realty Foothills Explains Dual Agency

The Ins and Outs of Working with a Dual Agency Real Estate Agent

La Verne , Ca (Grassroots Newswire) 10/21/2010 -- Sometimes buyers and sellers find out they are working in a dual real estate agency relationship. This is not usually a problem, but it is important to know what it means to be working with a real estate agent in a dual agency relationship and the restrictions that will be placed on that agent.

So what is a dual real estate agency? First it is important to define “agency.” Agency shows the relationship that the buyer/seller has with their real estate agent. With that being said, it is easy to understand that a dual agency means the agent or broker is representing both buyer and seller.

For example, if a buyer does not have a buyer’s agent and wants to put an offer on a home, they can ask the listing agent to write their offer. This is dual agency. Dual agency can also take place when both seller’s and buyer’s agent work in the same real estate office or work for the same broker.

There are of course, restrictions to dual agency. Real estate agents are required to treat both buyer and seller with equality and integrity. So an agent that is in a dual agency should not give exclusive loyalty to either client, which could be expected from a committed buyer’s or seller’s agent. This means when it is time for the buyer to make an offer the agent can not disclose how much to offer and they can not advise the seller to accept one offer over another.

It can however streamline the negotiating process, meaning it could get answers faster.

So as stated earlier, there is not usually a problem with dual agency as long as you know what it means and the restrictions that are imposed on the real estate agent.

Has the Dream of Home Ownership Become a Nightmare?

The answer is NO! EXIT Realty West offers insights into the local real estate market

Cincinnati, OH (Grassroots Newswire) 10/21/10 --

It seems every where you turn there are stories of doom and gloom for the housing industry. Is it really the end of the dream of home ownership? All this bleak news might make us think so.

For example; while most of the sub prime mortgage resets are behind us there are still two more waves of resets coming on more than $1 trillion in Alt-A and Option ARM mortgages. This could continue to drive down prices and increase inventory. The National Association of Realtors estimates there are 2.7 million delinquencies, foreclosures, and bank owned properties that have yet to reach the market. Absorption of these properties could take several years in some major markets.

Right now the absorption rate (# of months supply of houses) for the Cincinnati area is about 11 months; down from 14 months back in January of this year but still near record levels. A balanced market is around a 6 month supply; less is a sellers' market while more is a buyers' market.

College Hill prices have dropped about 30% from the highest price levels of 2005. As a comparison, prices in the Cincinnati School District have dropped about 17%. See Chart.

Our larger drop is probably due to fact that College Hill had about 160 foreclosures compared to about 1000 for the Cincinnati School District as a whole this year.

While all of this is bad, the benefits of owning a home haven't changed; mortgage interest and property tax is still deductible and gains from sale of your house are not taxed (subject to certain restrictions). Home prices are low and the mortgage rates are at their lowest level since the 1950's. Now is a good time to buy!

Many people may be worried about the increasing numbers of foreclosures pushing prices down even further. This is still a possibility but there are a lot of programs available for homeowners to prevent foreclosure. There is the Federal Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan (HASP) and Ohio's Foreclosure Prevention Effort. More information go to www.savethedream.ohio.gov.

Of course since it is a buyers' market a lot of sellers are sitting on the sidelines. Either they don't want to sell their home in today's market or they owe more than it's worth and can't sell in the traditional manner. The first thing to do if you are even thinking of selling is to get a good comparative market analysis of your house from your realtor. And remember; if you're selling a home to buy a new one, since prices are low you'll likely get a good price on that new abode.

A lot of the news about the housing market is depressing but does it mark the end of a dream? That depends on the definition of your dream. If the dream is to own property that appreciates by 30 percent a year turning a house into an ATM machine then that dream is probably over. But if the dream is focused on what matters most; family, friends, community, and finding a home that's right for you, then that dream is still alive!

EXIT REALTY GROUP has Way Too Much Fun!

Carlisle Halloween Parade 2010

Mechanicsburg, PA (Grassroots Newswire) October 19, 2010 -- We participated in the 2010 Carlisle Halloween Parade. The week prior to the parade was a busy one. We cut-out a cardboard house, painted windows, and attached a roof. We used baled hay for seating on the float and to bring out the autumn décor. Once the float was ready we made the key and the sale contract costumes out of cardboard also. The float was pulled into the parade line-up. Minor repairs were made before starting. At approximately 7:20 pm, we were rolling on. Barbara Woods and Kathleen Forney rides on the float as Realtor and Buyer. Dennis Fortney was the banker, Brenda Rhodes was the lawyer, Vicki Rankine was the sale contract, and Jeanne Bear was the giant key. They walked along side and behind giving out lots of candy to the little ones watching. All the children loved the big key, it was definitely a “key” character in our group. EXIT REALTY GROUP was announced at the square for judging. What a great time we had! Next week we will be in Newville’s Halloween Parade.

Real Estate Technology Comes to SE IA

New EXIT Associates See Value

Mt Pleasant, IA (Grassroots Newswire) 10/19/2010 --

How does a Mount Pleasant beauty and an Olympic gold medalist become husband and wife? First, the beauty's father asks the Olympic archer to go hunting. A romance quickly ensued between Maria Collora and Rod White, and 11 months later the two were married.

White grew up hunting the woodlands near his hometown of Hermitage, Pa., northwest of Pittsburgh. He went on to get a team gold medal in archery in the 1996 Atlanta games. He also earned a team bronze in the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney, Australia.

He spent a semester at Western Illinois University in Macomb, and it was during that period he was invited by Mount Pleasant native Sam Collora to go hunting. That's when Maria and Rod met, and three children later they have been married 11 years.

Together, the Whites operate vastly different real estate firms from a Mount Pleasant office at 215 W. Washington St.

Rod started LandAndGame.com three years ago, which focuses on selling farm land and woodland property largely for those interested in hunting deer. Maria, who got her real estate license two years ago, concentrates on selling homes and country acreages under the Exit Land and Home Realty franchise.

LandAndGame.com covers mostly the eastern two-thirds of Iowa, along with southeast Minnesota and northeast Missouri. Rod has five agents covering that vast territory.

"We have more clients from a hunting aspect," Rod said.

Much of Rod's real estate business stems from his own passion for hunting big buck deer. He is a contributor to "The Industry TV" program on the Sportsman Channel, which features hunting tips and products in the industry.

LandAndGame.com goes beyond just selling properties that prove to be good hunting grounds.

"We make those properties desirable to keep the animals on the property," Rod said.

His company uses an advance habitat system to encourage bucks to stay on a given property and grow to optimum size of four to six years of age. The system entails timber management, specialized bedding, creating ponds, planting native grasses, providing food plots such as corn, soybeans, alfalfa and clover, and making trails.

"We do charge a little more because we offer a premium service," said Rod.

"Growing big deer has become a passion," he added.

Nearly 50 percent of the properties that LandAndGame.com sells are managed by the company. Rod said his firm will line up the cash renters and handle the CRP contracts for the farm ground. Some land owners want to show up with the property ready to hunt.

"Some people want to do their own deer stands," said Rod.

He's got a Cedar Rapids client who simply wants some timberland where he won't be bothered.

Other people buy land from the company as an investment.

"A lot of people are diversifying their portfolios," he said. Farm ground is selling at a premium price, and woodland is selling anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000.

Rod's company recently completed a $9 million sale of a 3,400-acre farm spread in Decatur County. But the firm also will sell 20- and 40-acre plots.

The best-selling period occurs between January and May, with July also being a good month. Much of December is used to scout quality farms to sell in the coming year.

Plus, when hunting season rolls around in the fall, Rod wants to spend more time out in nature rather than selling real estate.

Finding the right acreage or home

Maria White's real estate business has a traditional side in selling homes in the city limits, plus an uncoventional side.

"A lot of people want country acreages," Maria said of a speciality of her Exit Land and Home Realty franchise. "Let us do the leg work for you."

Exit Land and Home Realty is based out of Toronto, Canada, and Maria's franchise was the second one to dot Iowa. She considers her real estate office's territory to be southeast Iowa - everything south of Iowa City.

There were three reasons she decided to attach her real estate goals with Exit Land and Home Realty. The first was technology, as all of the properties for sale show up on the Mount Pleasant franchise's website. With 87 percent of people looking to buy homes starting their search online, Maria knew it was important to have a website.

"We are working hard to create our presence online," she said.

The website has been up three or four months, and continues to be updated and upgraded.

The second reason for going with the Toronto firm was education. The company employs top professionals who sold real estate for other firms, and uses those people as trainers for Exit Land and Home Realty agents.

"They have plenty of trainers to help out on different aspects," Maria said. "They are allowing us to grow bigger and bigger."

The third reason was the franchise is built to help employees make money, even after retirement. If a person recruits another agent, they'll receive a percentage of a sale by that agent. Thus an employee can continue to make money off agents they have recruited, even after retirement. Maria said such a pay system encourages a team atmosphere in the office. In the next six months she expects six more agents to be on board.

Maria gets clients who require different needs. She has a Cedar Rapids couple who want to have their own space, and are looking for that ideal country acreage. But she'll also get the opposite client, the single mother who wants her children to be closer to school and friends in town.

Though Mount Pleasant will remain the hub of her business, she can see Exit Land and Home Realty's reach expanding along with her husband's company.

Thus, the Mount Pleasant beauty and the Olympic gold medalist are ready to help clients find their own little piece of real estate heaven.

EXIT Realty Leaders - Uses QR Code Technology to Increase

Crystal River, FL (Grassroots Newswire) October 14th, 2010 -- We are using the latest technology in marketing for our local area. We are one of the first. Please call/email with further questions. 352-697-1759

- "Technology consulting firm Gartner predicts that QR (Quick Response)
Code use will explode soon in the United States." says Linda Snow, Exit
Realty Leaders - Crystal River. "We now have QR Codes for all of our
listings that allow consumers to scan them with their smart phones and see
detailed property information for the listing such as the walk score, Google
Maps with street views, school information and much more right from the Yard
Sign, Property Flyers, Postcards and other places where it was never
possible before."

Similar to bar codes, QR codes allow people standing in front of a home touse a QR Reader on their smartphone to scan a QR code on the yard sign in seconds and access detailed information about the home they are standing in front of.

"We are using technology from Listings-to-Leads that automatically creates
QR Codes for all of our listings allowing us to then put them on the yard
signs in front of the seller's home along with all our other printed
marketing materials. This greatly increases the exposure of the property
while at the same time giving the consumers the information they want
quickly and easily." says Linda Snow.

"We are excited to partner with EXIT Realty Leaders - Crystal River in using
the newest technologies in the market on behalf of their sellers and
buyers." Scott Pierce, CEO, Listings-to-Leads added. "QR Codes are big in
Japan and are used widely in Asia, Europe and Australia and are now starting
to catch on in America."

"The Real Estate industry is one of the most technology intensive
industries. We are proud to have been able to offer a powerful turnkey
solution that allows EXIT Realty Leaders - Crystal River to leverage this
technology without wasting a lot of their time which is better spent working
with buyers and sellers and not acting as their own IT department" continued
Scott Pierce.

"Our main goal as real estate professionals is to market our seller's
properties to as many people as possible and to give buyers access to that
information in as many ways as possible." concludes Linda Snow "Using QR
Codes allows us to achieve both of these goals while reducing the time
needed to achieve this. As one of the first brokerages in our area to use
this new technology we are also excited to share our expertise with buyers
and sellers in our area along with other Realtors that may not have
implemented this technology yet."

EXIT Realty's U.S. President, Tami Bonnell, Named as Finalist in 7th Annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business

Stevie® Award Winners to Be Announced in New York on November 12

Woburn , MA (Grassroots Newswire) - Tami Bonnell, President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International was named a Finalist in the Best Executive - Service Businesses - more than 2,500 employees category in the 7th annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business.

The Stevie® Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie® Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Nicknamed the Stevies® for the Greek word “crowned,” winners will be announced during a gala event at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York on Friday, November 12.

EXIT Realty Foothills Advises on Refinancing Your Mortgage

Refinance your mortgage: when and why

La Verne , Ca (Grassroots Newswire) 10/12/2010 --During a time when money matters and interest rates charged on new mortgages are at 60-year lows, a question the government wants every homeowner to consider is "Should I refinance my mortgage?"

Before answering this question, determine what you intend to accomplish by refinancing:

• Reduce your monthly payments?
Low interest rates, as well as a longer payback period, achieves this goal.
You will have more money monthly to spend on goods and services.

• Switch from adjustable to FRM financing?
A fixed interest rate provides long-term stability for home ownership.
This is best done when interest rates are low.

• Cash out your equity?
Consolidate debt to reduce interest charges and payments.

• Fund home improvements?
Add a pool, redecorate or make energy efficiency improvements.

After determining what you want out of a refinance, consider whether a refinance of your existing mortgage is a wise move. Periods of low interest rates are ideal for most refinancing situations. However, refinancing just because rates are lower than the rate on your existing mortgage is not always in your best short-term financial interest. Consider avoiding refinancing when:

• you plan to sell your house within five years;

• a prepayment penalty will be incurred on paying off your existing mortgage;

• your refinancing will require the payment of mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs); or

• the balance due on your existing mortgage exceeds the present value of your home by 10% or more, a refinancing also called a loan modification.

Plan ahead! When refinancing — or when getting any mortgage financing — negotiate the removal of the boilerplate due-on-sale clause from the trust deed your lender is using. Also, consider the tax aspects of interest deductions on extending your loan payoff period (amortization).

A calculator which shows homeowners what their potential monthly savings can be by refinancing their mortgage is available at http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/refinance-calculator.aspx. Discover for yourself whether or not a refinance is a prudent move to make.

For assistance in the selection of the best refinancing options available to you, first contact your local real estate agent who is providing you with this information.
