Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp.'s exit from lending deals a fresh blow to mortgage brokers marginalized in the wake of the subprime crisis.
The failure of privately held Taylor Bean, based in Ocala, Fla., and one of the largest independent home-loan providers, means that mortgage brokers - and, in turn, consumers - will have fewer options.
Traditionally, mortgage brokers have been important for borrowers because they typically offer a wider array of mortgage products from a number of lenders than a bank's loan officer. But stiffer underwriting standards fueled by buckets of red ink on the books of mortgage lenders have led some of the largest lenders to pull back from financing loans brought to the table by mortgage brokers.

The Atlanta real estate market is in a very interesting place. "Things" are generally improving, numerically. Although there's no guarantee that they will continue to do so, these improvements should be a real wake-up call for buyers who continue to wait for prices to continue to decline. As we move forward, the very best deals of the economic downturn are probably going to be seen through the rear view mirror. The "fact of the market" is that inventory is decreasing, prices are rising and the good properties that come on the market at the right price are selling faster than we've seen in a long, long time. In fact, the statistics show that in 39 FMLS Areas in Metro Atlanta, there is less than 11 months of inventory on the market, the median sales price is $162,000 and the median Days On Market ("DOM") for properties that sell without a price reduction is 24 days (Compared to 252 days on market for properties that have to reduce their price before they sell!). For quite some time now, buyers have had the luxury of not having to fight for, or compete for, homes for sale. Those days are gone, or at least they are fading fast. It's almost as if there is a "Seller's Market" for great homes at a great price while there is a "Buyer's Market" for average to below average homes on the market.
For Sellers, it's critical that they realize that these improvements in the market in no way give them a green light to be cocky or overly confident. There is a fine line between a good listing and a great one, and a tremendous difference in the results that are realized for each. One of the "Aha's" that I have had for sellers is this: Seller's that "don't have to sell" are disadvantaged in this market. The HUD-1's are going to the sellers that have to sell, not to the sellers who don't. In fact, if a seller doesn't "have to sell," then they should know that they have an immediate and obvious handicap in the selling process. Those sellers that do have to sell can and will do whatever it takes to sell their homes, and thus have an "advantage" over most other sellers. In this market, Sellers that DO have to sell DO sell, and sellers that DON'T have to sell DON'T.
One of the most important things that I see going wrong for listings in this market is that sellers and agents are spending too much time focusing on determining what a home is worth, rather than determining the listing price that will most certainly generate offers from buyers in the market place. Appraisers determine the value of a home. Real estate professionals determine what the sticker price needs to be in order attract offers that can begin a dialogue of successful negotiations that will result in a successful closing. Price is king in this market. Remember: "The right price overcomes any objection." If you're not the best listing at the best price in the market, then you won't get offers. I've never shown property to a buyer who said, "Let's make an offer on the third best house that we saw today." Never.
The other issue that is plaguing our market is ineffective price reductions. Simply put, if you reduce the price of a home to a price that doesn't put the home in front of a new pool of buyers, then such a reduction is typically a waste of time. We have to remember what price ranges we put into the computer when we search for homes, and when we need to make a reduction to re-position the home on the market we must introduce it to the buyers who are searching for homes in the next lowest price point.

Mark. O. Gibbs President Leland Homes & Neighborhoods Last year I accepted a new job in Houston, TX and needed to sell my home as quickly as possible. I hired a local real estate company that had a "non-traditional" approach to selling homes that came with a lot of guarantees if they did not perform. I had to sign a long-term contract and agree to reduce the price of the home every few weeks if it didn't sell. Long story short, it was a nightmare and after 6 months, I still owned the home and needed to get to Houston. That is when I met "English Paul". It took only a few minutes of conversation to know that this man knew what he was doing. He and his team were very responsive to our every need and implemented a marketing plan that worked. No tricks, no gimmicks, just solid marketing. Less than 60 days later, we had moved into our new home in Houston and received a very good price for the home that we sold. Moving to a new part of the country is really tough, but the Keller Williams network made this easy as well. We didn't just take our chances on getting a good agent in Houston. Paul researched the area and personally called KW in Houston to make sure that we had the best agent in the office. In a world that treats "service" like a 4 letter word, it is nice to find a company that still believes in taking care of their customer, but it is even nicer to see someone do what they are paid to do; sell your home. I would recommend Team Renton to anyone in this tough real estate market. Roger Ballenger, Houston Texas
"My house was on the market with a Realtor for over a year with no success. Paul & Dana listed my house and I had more activity in 3 weeks than it had in the previous year. Their professionalism and work ethic was wonderful, they were not only my real estate professionals but they also became good friends.
They worked just as hard to find me a new construction home that had the same floor plan as a 18 year old re-sale. With their negotiating skills I now have a brand new home for the same price. I have already recommended their Team to family and friends and will continue to do so.

"We tried for 6 months to sell our home ourselves but no luck. We then listed withe a Real Estate comapny for another 6 months. We had only one interested buyer whonever showed up and no showings. We then listed with Paul & Dana in 24 days we had a full price offer. We were very impressed with the work they put into their marketing. It was also nice to have ateam of professionals working for us to provide us just what we needed. They also did a great job finding us our next home in a short period of time. GREAT JOB!! Paul & Dana, we will definately come to you in the future and We have and will contiue to recommend you to everyone we know.

"The Renton Team worked out fantastically for me. The moment Paul placed the sign in the yard, people were showing interest! I had 3 people interested and a firm buyer within the first week! They made the process easy keeping me informed every step of the way. I trust Team Renton and I am currently working with them to buy some land. I now have a real estate agent for life! Thank you Paul and Dana."
Andrea Phillips

"I tried to market my home in Chapel Hills subdivision for nine months. I listed with Paul and Dana, and within 23 days they presented a full price offer! I have now closed and look forward to working with Paul and Dana again."
Steven Gessner

"The Renton team made my first experience selling a house painless. They were available whenever I needed them. They did an outstanding job detailing the best features of my house for a fast sell."
"I will definately use Team Renton in the future when I purchase my next property!"
Heather Skelton
"So often you hear that buying a home can be a cumbersome process. As I reflect back on my home buyer experience, I can only have fond moments. This experience could not have taken place if I had not had Paul Renton as my realtor. Paul was a breath of fresh air."
David Cox
Home Owner
"We highly recommend Paul and Dana Renton of Keller Williams Realty for any of your real estate needs. They have helped us over the last couple of years with the purchase and selling of our real estate. The Renton's are people that really care. Thanks from our family to yours."
