TOP 10 MUST ASK QUESTIONS TO FIND THE RIGHT REALTOR!

Downtown Prescott 122 North Cortez When it comes to choosing a real estate agent, it pays to do a bit of research. Whether you are a Buyer or Seller, your real estate pro will be working with you on 1) Determining your real estate goals, 2) Setting price points, 3) Marketing to others, 4) Reviewing market conditions, 5) Viewing properties that compare or meet your criteria 6) Discovering all financial programs that would assist in the process, 7) Walking you through the transaction and 8) Ultimately placing you in the center of their marketing effort, focusing on customers rather than sales. To make an informed choice, take the time to interview several of the best candidates before making a decision.

1) How long have you been in residential real estate sales? And, Is it your full-time job?

While experience is no guarantee of skill, real estate — like many other professions — is mostly learned on the job. You want a real estate agent who isn’t going to be distracted by other obligations, and an active agent is more likely to be up to date on the market and the law.

2) How many homes did you and your real estate brokerage sell last year?

By asking this question, you’ll get a good idea of how much experience the practitioner has.

Follow up with asking in what area did you do most of your business last year?

3) How Much Do You Charge?

Don't ask if the fee is negotiable. All real estate fees are negotiable. Typically, real estate agents charge a percentage, from 1% to 4% to represent one side of a transaction: a seller or a buyer. A listing agent may charge, for example, 3.5% for herself and another 3.5% for the buyer's agent, for a total of 7%.

3) What Kind of Guarantee Do You Offer?

If you sign a listing or buying agreement with the agent and later find that you are unhappy with the arrangement, will the agent let you cancel the agreement? Will the agent stand behind the service to you? What is the company's policy about canceled agreements? Has anybody ever canceled an agreement with them before?

4) What is Your Best Marketing Plan or Strategy for My Needs?

• As a buyer, you will need to know: • How will you search for my new home?

• How many homes will I likely see before I find a home I want to buy?

• Will I be competing against other buyers?

• How do you handle multiple offers?

• Do you present offers yourself?

• As a seller, you will need to know: • Specifically, how will you sell my home?

• Why or why not is a direct mail campaign appropriate?

• Where and how often do you advertise?

• Will you show me a sample flyer?

• How do you market online?

5) What Are the Top Three Things That Separate You From Your Competition? or What’s your business philosophy?

928HOMES.COM

While there’s no right answer to this question, the response will help you assess what’s important to the agent and determine how closely the agent’s goals and business emphasis mesh with your own. A good agent won't hesitate to answer this question and will be ready to fire off why she is best suited for the job. Everyone has their own standards, but most consumers say they are looking for agents who say they are: • Experienced • Participate in ongoing education • Knowledgeable of the market and conditions • Honest and trustworthy • Assertive • Excellent negotiators • Available by phone or e-mail • Good communicators • Friendly • Analytical • Able to maintain a good sense of humor under trying circumstances • Supported by their Brokerage 6) May I Review Documents Beforehand That I Will Be Asked to Sign?

A sign of a good real estate agent is a professional who makes forms available to you for preview before you are required to sign them. If at all possible, ask for these documents upfront.

As a buyer, ask for copies of the following: • Buyer's Broker Agreement (is it exclusive or nonexclusive?)

• Agency Disclosures • Purchase Agreement • Buyer Disclosures As a seller, ask to see: • Agency Disclosure • Listing Agreement • Seller Disclosures 7) How Will You Help Me Find Other Professionals?

Because REALTORS® are immersed in the industry, they’re wonderful resources as you seek lenders, home improvement companies, and other home service providers. Practitioners should generally recommend more than one provider and let you know if they have any special relationship with or receive

compensation from any of the providers. Let the real estate agent explain why she chooses these professionals.

8) Who else will be working with me?

An agent is often supported by a team. The Broker, Other Listing Agents, Buyer Agents, Transaction Manager, Office Manager, Team Leader, etc.

9) Will You Please Provide References ?

Everybody has references. Even new agents have references from previous employers.

Ask to see references.

Ask if any of the individuals providing references are related to the agent.

Ask if you can call the references with additional questions.

10) What Haven't I Asked You That I Need to Know?

Pay close attention to how the real estate agent answers this question because there is often something else you may need to know. You want an agent to take her time with you -- to make sure you feel comfortable and secure with her knowledge and experience. She should know how to listen and how to counsel you, how to ask the right questions to find out what she needs to know to better serve you.

Can Chase Away Buyers By: G. M. Filisko

Having pet odors inside your home can turn off potential home buyers and keep your home from selling. Ask your real estate agent for an honest opinion about whether your home has a pet smell.

go. Once you tear them out, scrub the subfloor with vinegar or an odor-removing product, and install new padding and carpeting. Unless the smell is in the subfloor, in which case that goes next.

If your agent holds her nose, here’s how to get rid of the smell:

Paint, replace, or seal walls. When heavy-duty cleaners haven’t eradicated smells in drywall, plaster, or woodwork, add a fresh coat of paint or stain, or replace the drywall or wood altogether.

Air your house out. While you’re cleaning, throw open all the windows in your home to allow fresh air to circulate and sweep out unpleasant scents.

Once your house is free of pet odors, do what you can to keep the smells from returning. Crate your dog when you’re out or keep it outdoors. Limit the cat to one floor or room, if possible. Remove or replace pet bedding.

Scrub thoroughly. Scrub bare floors and walls soiled by pets with vinegar, wood floor cleaner, or an odor-neutralizing product, which you can purchase at a pet supply store for $10 to $25.

Try a 1:9 bleach-to-water solution on surfaces it won’t damage, like cement floors or walls.

Got a stubborn pet odors covering a large area?

You may have to spend several hundred dollars to hire a service that specializes in hard-to-clean stains.

Wash your drapes and upholstery. Pet odors seep into fabrics. Launder, steam clean, or dry clean all your fabric window coverings. Steam clean upholstered furniture.

Either buy a steam cleaner designed to remove pet hair for around $200 and do the job yourself, or pay a pro. You’ll spend about $40 for an upholstered chair, $100 for a sofa, and $7 for each dining room chair if a pro does your cleaning.

Clean your carpets. Shampoo your carpets and rugs, or have professionals do the job for $25 to $50 per room, depending on their size and the level of filth embedded in them. The cleaner will try to sell you deodorizing treatments. You’ll know if you need to spend the extra money on those after the carpet dries and you have a friend perform a sniff test.

If deodorizing doesn’t remove the pet odor from your home, the carpets and padding will have to 20

928 HOME S BU Y SEL L RENOVAT E RE A L E S TAT E

On brick and cement, apply a sealant appropriate for the surface for $25 to $100. That may smother and seal in the odor, keeping it from reemerging.

Place potpourri or scented candles in strategic locations. Put a bow on your deep clean with potpourri and scented candles. Don’t go overboard and turn off buyers sensitive to perfumes. Simply place a bowl of mild potpourri in your foyer to create a warm first impression, and add other mild scents to the kitchen and bathrooms.

Control ongoing urine smells. If your dog uses indoor pee pads, put down a new pad each time the dog goes. Throw them away outside in a trash can with a tight lid. Remove even clean pads from view before each showing.

Replace kitty litter daily, rather than scooping used litter clumps, and sweep up around the litter box. Hide the litter box before each showing.

Relocate pets. If your dog or cat has a best friend it can stay with while you’re selling your home (and you can stand to be separated from your pet), consider sending your pet on a temporary vacation. If pets have to stay, remove them from the house for showings and put away their dishes, towels, and toys.

Bill Binkey - Sr. Reverse Mortgage Advisor

A new rule enabling the purchase of a home with a reverse mortgage is giving senior adults greater flexibility when it comes to where they live and the type of home they live in.

A house purchased under this new program must be a primary residence and will require a large down payment.

However, there is no repay-ment of the reverse mortgage due for as long as senior home-owners live in their home.

This new means of financing the purchase of a home has created the opportunity for seniors to downsize, move to a house that is more comfortable, safe, and is convenient to services, or move closer to family.

The qualifying age for a reverse mortgage is 62 or older, and it does not affect social security and medicare benefits. “We are experiencing a surge of seniors who are buying a home with the reverse mortgage,” Bill Binkey, HighTechLending said.

“Not only do they have no monthly mortgage payments, they also have the peace of mind in knowing that they can’t lose their home as long as they maintain it in good condition and pay their homeowner’s insurance and property taxes.”

To learn more about the reverse mortgage purchase program, you can contact Bill Binkey. He will provide a free reverse mortgage informational package and confidential estimate. For more information call 928-237-9599.

Keep Cool This Summer

Call Aardvark Heating & Cooling

(928) 583-0433 Call For An Appointment - We Do: AIR CONDITIONER CHECK CONDENSER COIL: Clean if necessary, Foreign material on the condenser coil reduces the system’s capacity to remove heat from the space. So your air conditioning system must run longer, increasing energy consumption.

CHECK VOLTAGE & AMPERAGE ON MOTORS: Improper voltage and amperage can reduce significantly the life of the compressor, condenser and the blower motors.

CHECK OPERATING PRESSURES FOR PROPER REFRIGERANT CHARGE: Improper refrigerant charge - too much or too little - could damage the compressor, and could cause high electric bills through a curtailment of system efficiency.

CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Resistance caused by loose connections will create excessive heat at that point, causing improper voltage to various components and making either inoperative or causing eventual failure.

LUBRICATE ALL MOVING PARTS WHERE NECESSARY: Poor lubrication causes drag on the motor and the drive shaft, thereby requiring more electricity to overcome resistance. Lack of lubrication can ruin the bearings and burn out the motor.

CHECK SAFETY CONTROL WHERE APPLICABLE: Essential for proper protection of the unit.

CHECK THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION: An improperly calibrated thermostat will call for more or less cooling than desired, costing money and/or comfort.

CHECK FOR CORRECT AIR FLOW: This is one way to assure maximum efficiency of the cooling unit.

CHECK STARTING CAPABILITIES: Assures system will start and operate when needed.

CHECK AIR FILTERS: A dirty air filter can substantially reduce air flow over the evaporator, resulting in inadequate cooling. A dirty filter could cause high energy usage and compressor damage.

Probably not… Most likely your dryer vent duct is clogged with lint.

7 Tips By: G. M. Filisko

FOR STAGING YOUR HOME

Make your home warm and inviting to boost your home’s value and speed up the sale process.

The first step to getting buyers to make an offer on your home is to impress them with its appearance so they begin to envision themselves living there. Here are seven tips for making your home look bigger, brighter, and more desirable.

1. START WITH A CLEAN SLATE Before you can worry about where to place furniture and which wall hanging should go where, each room in your home must be spotless. Do a thorough cleaning right down to the nitpicky details like wiping down light switch covers. Deep clean and deodorize carpets and window coverings.

2. STOW AWAY YOUR CLUTTER It’s harder for buyers to picture themselves in your home when they’re looking at your family photos, collectibles, and knickknacks. Pack up all your personal decorations. However, don’t make spaces like mantles and coffee and end tables barren. Leave three items of varying heights on each surface, suggests Barb Schwarz of Staged Homes in Concord, Pa. For example, place a lamp, a small plant, and a book on an end table.

3. SCALE BACK ON YOUR FURNITURE When a room is packed with furniture, it looks smaller, which will make buyers think your home is less valuable than it is. Make sure buyers appreciate the size of each room by removing one or two pieces of furniture. If you have an eat-in dining area, using a small table and chair set makes the area seem bigger.

4. RETHINK YOUR FURNITURE PLACEMENT Highlight the flow of your rooms by arranging the furniture to guide buyers from one room to another. In each room, create a focal point on the farthest wall from the doorway and arrange the other pieces of furniture in a triangle around the focal point, advises Schwarz.

In the bedroom, the bed should be the focal point. In the living room, it may be the fireplace, and your couch and sofa can form the triangle in front of it.

5. ADD COLOR TO BRIGHTEN YOUR ROOMS Brush on a fresh coat of warm, neutral-color paint in each room. Ask your real estate agent for help choosing the right shade. Then accessorize. Adding a vibrant afghan, throw, or accent pillows for the couch will jazz up a muted living room, as will a healthy plant or a bright vase on your mantle. High-wattage bulbs in your light fixtures will also brighten up rooms and basements.

6. SET THE SCENE Lay logs in the fireplace, and set your dining room table with dishes and a centerpiece of fresh fruit or flowers.

Create other vignettes throughout the home — such as a chess game in progress — to help buyers envision living there. Replace heavy curtains with sheer ones that let in more light.

Make your bathrooms feel luxurious by adding a new shower curtain, towels, and fancy guest soaps (after you put all your personal toiletry items are out of sight).

Judiciously add subtle potpourri, scented candles, or boil water with a bit of vanilla mixed in. If you have pets, clean bedding frequently and spray an odor remover before each showing.

7. MAKE THE ENTRANCE GRAND Mow your lawn and trim your hedges, and turn on the sprinklers for 30 minutes before showings to make your lawn sparkle. If flowers or plants don’t surround your home’s entrance, add a pot of bright flowers. Top it all off by buying a new doormat and adding a seasonal wreath to your front door.
