Alpine Utah Home Selling and getting your Home ready to Show

Showing your Alpine home is probably the most important part of the selling process. Consider the following carefully as you prepare your home for viewing:

1. First impressions mean a lot and often prospective buyers make a decision almost immediately.
2. Curb appeal is important since many buyers search by themselves and then call their Realtor about property they have only seen from the street.

5. Curb appeal is important since many buyers search by themselves and then call their Realtor about property they have only seen from the street.
6. Fresh paint on your house’s exterior and interior is one of the easiest and best improvements you can make to enhance that first impression. It makes your house look bright and clean. If you paint, use whites, creams, or neutral colors on the interior and exterior colors that will blend with the neighborhood. If you don’t paint everything, at least paint the places that need it most.
7. Get rid of clutter. Clutter doesn’t sell. Sometimes clutter can be described also as too much décor, too much furniture, too much stuff on the mantle, etc.
8. Don’t cook fish prior to showing your home. Not that you need an air freshener, but you don’t want that first impression to be a bad odor.
9. Keep yards and vegetation mowed and trimmed.
10. Keep pets out of the house when showing.
11. Open blinds and curtains so rooms are bright and inviting.
12. If your house is shown by an agent it is best that you are away. If you cannot leave, remain in a separate part of the house and allow your agent to work for you. Refrain from attempting to point out special features, or initiating idle chat. Do not follow them around. Buyers are uncomfortable in the presence of sellers and it could spoil their tour. Take the dog for a walk or go outside. Trust the skills of your agent to present your house for you. Prior to showing, discuss with your agent everything you would like to convey to the buyer. It is in your best interests.
13. Be flexible. Your house could be shown at any time. Agents do everything possible to arrive within a certain schedule, but sometimes this isn’t possible. So too, they may call at a moment’s notice which means your house should be ready for viewing at any given time. This eliminates the need for panic and will help reduce your stress level

Utah County Real Estate and working with a Home Buyer Agent

As of 1994, the state of Utah authorized Buyer’s Agency. In Utah County, and throughout the state, buyers can choose an agent to work exclusively on their behalf. Buyer agency benefits include:

· Buyer’s agents are almost always paid out of the proceeds of the sale by the seller or builder, so we always recommend using a Realtor, as it will cost you nothing extra.

· Many people do not realize that it is advantageous to have an agent on a new home purchase as well. I have gone to bat for my clients on a number of occasions when there were problems with home builders. Salespeople who work for the builder are usually very ethical they are also employees of the builder and are bound by their relationship to their employer. They do not specifically represent the home buyer like I do.

· Buyer’s agents have certain responsibilities that are defined by the Utah Real Estate commission, which regulates all Utah Realtors. First and foremost, we are required to place your needs above our own when representing you in a real estate transaction. I owe you:

o Loyalty

o Obedience

o Disclosure

o Confidentiality

o Reasonable Care & Diligence

o Accounting on all Matters

The buyer’s agent must treat all parties in the transaction honestly and fairly.

Buyer’s agency is usually provided at absolutely NO COST to you, the home buyer.

Remember when looking to purchase a new home always consider using a Buyer’s agent during the transaction.

Utah County Real Estate Foreclosures and record Bank Owned Listings 2012

It has come to my attention that many Utah County Banks have been holding a large inventory of homes to be released early in 2012. Due to this excessive influx of bank owned homes, I anticipate a drastic decrease in Home selling prices.

What a great opportunity for all of my Utah County Home Buyers. Interest rates are hovering below 4% and this trend should continue throughout the coming months.

Banks are not in the business to hold onto an inventory of homes. They want to get rid of these homes yesterday. This makes for a great opportunity for you, the home buyer or investor, because most of these homes are well below market value. Once the bank owns the property they will handle eviction if any, take care of some repairs, pay past HOA and/or other maintenance dues, and then will negotiate with the IRS, removal of tax liens, if any.

How do Utah County Banks sell REO’s (Real Estate owned by the Bank)

Most banks have an REO department that handles the sale of these properties. They certainly would like to get the best price of course. When you make an offer, the banks will usually make a counter offer. Don’t be surprised to get a higher counter offer than you might expect. Banks want to show their shareholders and investors that they are trying to get the highest possible price for the house. You should counter the counter offer. Your offer will likely be reviewed by an approval panel. Even after they accept your offer they include wordings like “subject to corporate approval”.

Condition of the Property

These homes are almost always sold “as is” with the right to inspect. You incur the inspection expenses (termite, general home inspection, mold, etc.). An inspection contingency period must be included in your offer that will allow you to terminate the sale if any of the inspection reveals damage that the bank will NOT correct.

Make sure you have someone representing you who understand this process, when you are trying to negotiate on a Bank owned property. It is important that you have someone who knows how to handle repairs and all the steps necessary for a smooth closing.
