11 RELIABLE REAL ESTATE TIPS FOR 2012

1. PRICE IT RIGHT FORM THE GET GOThe old-school strategy of real estate sellers crossing their arms and holding out for a better offer will be brushed off by most homebuyers. Consider that of the homes that took four months or more to sell in the past year, almost half of their owners accepted less than 90 percent of the asking price, according to the National Association of Realtors. 2. PUT YOUR BEST FOOTAGE FORWARD Prep, paint, stage, scrub, improve, repeat. Efforts can include caulking, plastering, planting flowers, adding potted plants, making the windows spotless, pressure washing the driveway, edging the walks, trimming the bushes and trees, and mending the fences. None of these are excessively capital-intensive, but when applied en masse, they say buy me 3. BE FLEXIBLEIm not saying bend over backwards for real estate buyers. Bend forward and sideways, too. Be ready to negotiate and offer extras such as closing costs, paid property taxes, remodeling work (or a cash credit), appliances, or even seller financing. Home sellers whove been on the sidelines and who advised their agents to ignore offers by lowballers dont have that luxury now. 4. TRUMP YOUR TECHNO-FEARSHire a listing agent steeped in mobile platforms. Sellers and buyers are routinely using Facebook, and other social media to sell and seek, not to mention dozens of online selling sites. Some owners are even making you tube videos to showcase their homes, making it easier to quickly link to potential buyers via email. There is also an abundance of smartphone apps cropping up to review real estate listings and refine searches. 5. DONT FALL PREYFraudsters are targeting distressed homeowners with deals that can sound perfectly legit. Some offer loan modifications for upfront fees while others offer fee-based help in navigating government housing assistance programs, sometimes claiming they are attorneys. There are also con artist investors compelling desperate owners to sign over their homes with quit claim deeds in return for a typically empty promise to remain there indefinitely. Others are telling former owners that they can get their homes back for a lump sum. Never sign bank documents or documents with blank lines. If youre unsure of an offer, have an attorney or other trusted adviser look it over. Keep in mind that a law barring firms except attorneysfrom charging upfront fees for mortgage relief or mortgage modification took effect in 2011. Its called the Mortgage Assistance Relief Services Rule. 6. FINANCE 101Realize its harder to qualify for loans these days. Credit records are under greater scrutiny, and lenders are often demanding a 20% down payment and some pricing flexibility from the sellers, especially if the lenders appraisal doesnt reach the asking price. Consider cash offers, even if theyre not the highest. Reject too low offers from homebuyers gently and with encouragement, telling them they are oh-so-close. You dont want to give away the farm, but you dont want to give it back to the bank either. These days, meeting halfway usually means meeting buyers on their half. 7. BE YOUR OWN SPOKESPERSONAgents once advised sellers to retreat from view during showings lest they disclose something unsavory or otherwise botch the deal.

7.

Thats changed. If you can control your ego and emotions and come off as an earnest, flexible seller, you can serve as your best spokesperson. Be ready to answer would-be buyers questions about the neighborhood and area schools. Be careful about making verbal promises. FLIGHT TO QUALITY Worried about durability? Buyers who place a heavier focus on brick or concrete-and-steel housing may find theyre more enduring, safer, and quieter. Are you worried about sustaining value? Buy near a prestigious hospital, large employer, or new business district. These entities typically arent going away, and the demand for good housing around them wont either. EXPAND YOUR BUYING UNIVERSETheres still an abundance of well-priced inventory out there, which means you neednt immediately narrow your search to the first house you fancy. Thats especially the case with short sale homes, which can be a nightmare to close in a timely manner. There are some for sale gems that need only a little polishing.

8.

9.

10. SITE UNSEEN EQUALS SHORTSIGHTEDNESSAre you perplexed by the home valuation you did on your place on the website of a large, seemingly reputable real estate organization? Puzzled how that valuation can be 25 percent or more above or below a firsthand appraisal you've had done? Well, value estimates on these sites can vary widely, sometimes by hundreds of thousands of dollars, even by the admission of the companies themselves. There are way too many variables in the valuation game to give too much credence to blind, algorithm-based estimates that are impersonally calculated. Nothing beats a nuanced firsthand professional appraisal. 11. EXPAND YOUR BUYERS DUE DILIGENCE Aside from the financial details, contracts, disclosures and protections you typically tend to as you prep to buy a home, add these to the list:

Hire a title company to check the house for liens and tax arrearages. Hire you own inspector. Don't use the seller's! Have the inspector check for unpermitted work such as illegal room additions and garage conversions.

Consider the overall energy efficiency of the home with an energy audit. Be sure property lines are accurate. If there's any question, hire a land surveyor to research the
original deed and to stake out the property's lines and your neighbors' property lines to avoid future disputes.
