September 28, 2011 Coach Carol Mazur Leave a comment

Are you a new technology fan? Here is a new way to find more real estate leads on your website. This technology from Spacial Match matches buyer search trends with an awesome user friendly map that can be embedded on any website including WordPress. I really enjoyed searching this way and thought you may like it too. Here is a short video about the new map search.

Real Estate Coaching Tip:

This new real estate map technology makes home hunting easy for buyers. You can give awesome service to buyers in their home search for neighborhoods, schools and restaurants. Set the map to ask for the buyer’s email after a set number of searches and capture real estate leads for your listings or listings in nearby areas.

If you are looking for a unique selling proposition this could be it. There is a one time set up fee and a monthly free for the service depending on the neighborhoods and cities that you choose. You can embed this map on Your website, or create a new WordPress website and start driving traffic to your site. Great for SEO since it is hosted on your site. Here is an example http://blackdogrealestate.com/ of a WordPress website.

Real Estate Coaching Tip | Days On Market | LinkedIn

September 23, 2011 Coach Carol Mazur Leave a comment

In this real estate coaching tip we will look at how many days a home is on the market before it sells. LinkedIn posted the following article which shows the average days on market for US homes. Local sold figures can be higher than the national average.

Real estate professionals often list a home for 180 days. Could the seller’s home be coming off the market just when it is about to sell? Will the listing expire and no longer be visible on the internet right when a buyer might be ready to make an offer on the home?

Real Estate Coaching Tip:

Check your local MLS stats. What is the average days on market in your local area? Next, go a step further and check by neighborhood. You will find some neighborhoods have average days on market (DOM) of 365 days!

The question is, what is in your clients best interest? Should you take the listing for 180 days if 185 is the average days on market?

Top Producers check the number of days on market and may list a home for up to a year depending on the average days on market.

Thanks go to LinkedIn and Zillow for posting this valuable real estate housing news article.

Agent Assisted Sales Up – FSBO Sales Down

September 14, 2011 Coach Carol Mazur 1 Comment

This chart posted on Realtor.org’s blog – Economists Outlook, shows that agent assisted sales are up while FSBO sales are down. The percentage of FSBO sales dropped to 9% in 2010 with an average of 5% of those FSBOs having known the purchaser they sold to. This makes the odds of selling a home by owner and finding a new buyer a difficult task for today’s home sellers.

Here is the chart to share and a link to the original post.

The complexity of today’s sales which include short sales, mortgage restrictions, and foreclosures may be a contributing factor to less FSBO sales closing. Agent assisted sales are up to 88% and 3% of sales are in the “other” category.

Coaching Tip:
Be persistent when offering to help FSBOs sell their home. The longer a home is on the market the less the seller usually will net in his pocket. Help sellers make good decisions such as pricing right and listing with a Realtor.
