For Sale by Owner: Why going solo may not be going smart Submitted by Coldwell Banker Grass Roots Realty T
hose that choose to sell their own homes often hope to avoid the commission paid to real estate agents. While those familiar with the housing market and process of selling a home may enjoy a successful sale, plenty of inexperienced home sellers have encountered nothing but headaches. Besides limiting the number of potential buyers, the decision to sell by owner has cost many homeowners incredible amounts of time, energy and money. Before you make your own decision, you may want to assess the factors discussed here in relation to your own knowledge and resources. One of the most critical aspects of selling a home – setting the right price – often requires extensive market research and analysis of the property itself. While it is possible to gain an understanding of broad market trends, homeowners often don't have enough time to analyze the nuances of their local housing market. On the other hand, real estate agents are immersed in such local trends on a daily basis. Over time, the best real estate agents will gain an incredible understanding of everything from the most popular neighborhoods and styles of homes

to the types of amenities local buyers are looking for. When it comes time to set a sale price on your home, a real estate professional will be able to utilize this knowledge to determine the most accurate market value for your home. While the pricing of a home can be a difficult process, the most challenging
has agreed to purchase your home. A real estate agent may be able to help you work through legal documents such as the Purchase and Sale Agreement. However, those that sell their own homes need to negotiate these documents themselves or hire an attorney for assistance. Unlike most home sellers, real estate agents have experience with the closing process that may help both parties complete the sale as efficiently as possible. Before deciding how to sell your home, try to consider that there are many factors that influence the real estate market and can make selling your own home very challenging. Understanding the unique risks and difficulties you may face during the selling process will not only help you make an informed decision about hiring a real estate agent – it may help you sell your home.

work begins when your home is officially for sale. Even if your home is in the most attractive location within the local market, you probably won't find many interested buyers without marketing your property. This process begins with listings in real estate databases, newspapers and periodicals. After the listing has been marketed in such publications, the home is made available to prospective buyers through open houses and private viewings. When a real estate agent is involved in the marketing process, many additional opportunities often develop. Utilizing their industry connections and relationships, real estate agents are often able to find prospective buyers that might not have noticed your home otherwise. While your home is for sale, you can expect your agent to work full time trying to find the right buyer for your home. By comparison, very few homeowners trying to sell their own homes have nearly as much time to devote to the marketing process. Whether you are selling your own home or working with an agent, there is still plenty of work to be done after a buyer

Up front repairs & inspections have many benefits for buyers & sellers Submitted by Coldwell Banker Grass Roots Realty
R
conditions, (5) more accurate estimate of net sales proceeds, (6) better negotiation of repair costs and selection of repair providers, (7) eliminates the weakness of having to limit unknown repairs, (8) the property will show better and (9) the property will probably sell faster and conceivably for a higher price. Buyers benefit from this process by (1) inheriting a smoother/faster escrow, (2) fewer loan problems due to unknown conditions, (3) less time wasted discovering problems that could result in time constraint/moving issues, and (4) a higher confidence/knowledge level in the property due to a more complete disclosure. The ability to eliminate a stressful second round of negotiating in the middle of a time constrained escrow period is a very prudent course of action in today’s real estate market. Up front inspections can include obtaining of on-file permits, certified appraisal, preliminary title report, pest control inspection, corner identification, roof/home inspection, septic/well inspection and others. The costs of these inspections can easily be incorporated into the purchase price and the value of the inspections/repairs being completed prior to the sale escrow will be of great benefit to both buyer and seller.

egardless of the real estate market, selling a home can sometimes be a stressful experience. There are many ways to minimize the stress and even make the experience an enjoyable one - selecting an experienced Realtor®, utilizing a strong real estate company and pricing your home correctly are very important. However, this article will focus on packaging your home to sell and staying in control of the sale. Historically, the process of selling a home has been composed of four parts, (1) evaluating the price, (2) initial “spruce up,” (3) marketing period and (4) the escrow/closing. The actual packaging of the home has consisted of phases 1 and 2, selecting the price and maybe yard clean-up, touch up paint, clutter removal, staging and an interior cleaning. The completion of sale, inspections and evaluation/negotiation of necessary repairs has traditionally not occurred until phase 4 once the property is in escrow with a buyer. As we have entered the new millennium it has become apparent that there is a better way to navigate the sale process for both the buyer and seller. The process of completing inspections during the pricing/spruce up phases has many advantages to the seller, (1) insures more accurate pricing reflective of the true property condition, (2) smoother escrows with fewer surprises, (3) faster escrows with fewer inspections/repairs, (4) fewer sales falling through due to unknown

Reverse mortgage changes rules for younger spouses
continued from page 5
by Michelle Belmonte, Mortgage Loan Specialist, American Financial Network, Inc.
T
he Department of Housing and Urban Development today outlined changes to its reverse mortgage requirements that will protect non-borrowing spouses for new case number assignments on or after August 4. For those new case number assignments, non-borrowing spouses will be able to remain in their homes, provided they are married to the borrower at the time of closing and their spousal status is disclosed at that time via a certified letter. Non-borrowing spouses will be able to defer the loan’s due and payable status under the terms of the loans in cases where the named borrower passes away. The certification must be submitted annually with
additional documentation should the named borrower pass away or move from the home permanently. The agency acknowledged there have been two interpretations of the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage statute, one of which considers the non-borrowing spouse as a homeowner, and the other, which does not. “Where a HECM mortgagor has identified a Non-Borrowing Spouse, the mortgagee must base the Principal Limit on the age of the youngest mortgagor or Non-Borrowing Spouse,” HUD states. “Mortgagees will be required to use Factor Tables based on the age of the youngest Mortgagor or Non-Borrowing Spouse, if applicable.
The changes apply only to new borrowers, as HUD said it is unable to make changes to existing loans that have non-borrowing spouses present. AARP has filed a lawsuit against the housing department representing non-borrowing spouses. HUD has been ordered to provide relief to several plaintiffs named in the case. It has also filed a class action lawsuit with the class yet to be certified. The purpose of this change is so that no borrowing spouses will no longer face foreclosure when they have a reverse mortgage on their home. For more information, contact Michelle Belmonte, American Financial Network, Inc., at 530-272-7508.
