Weekly Real Estate Updates

How goes your Real Estate Quest?

But, I Think I Will Get A Better Deal From The Listing Agent,....

This sentence/statement comes up far too often as people begin their search for their dream home.

Many people mistakenly feel that if they work with the listing agent they will somehow be able to get a better deal, save on commission or even be paid a kick-back from the listing agent because they do not have representation by another agent.

I have to let you know a few things here because as I have explained in my Open Houses and in person to my clients, the Listing Agent cannot represent your best interests as a buyer.

You are thinking "Why?" - Well,... Let me tell you,..

Think of it this way. If you were in court and were going to have to try and win an argument in front of a judge,..would you want the lawyer for the opposing side to argue your case?

Of Course NOT! You would know that they have a job to get the best deal for their clients and not for YOU!

This is the same in a Real Estate Transaction. The agent who is representing the seller and is the Listing Agent has a job to do and that job is to get the highest and best price for their client-the seller. They cannot legally even begin to get you a better deal-because they are already obligated to get their "Boss" the "Seller" the best deal they can.

I have also heard that some people think that the commission will be less and in turn will make the purchase price less if they do not bring in a Licensed Realtor to represent their best interests. This is NOT TRUE.

The commission has already been written into the sales price and the listing agreement before they even met you as a potential buyer. Secondly it is illegal and unethical if the listing agent says they can pay you as a buyer part of the commission price back to you if you do not bring in a Realtor to represent you.

Think about that for just a moment. If you were a buyer of a home and you made a fair offer to purchase the home and you were working within a legal arrangement with your Licensed Realtor and your offer was higher or better than the other offers and you found out that the Listing Agent had an insider deal to sell the home for less to someone else because they choose to not have a Buyer's Agent represent them and they said they would pay that buyer back money if they worked without an Agent/Realtor? You would be FURIOUS AND RIGHTLY SO.

You would be mad,..very very mad. The whole process would be considered unfair to you - which it would be. This is why California has taken steps to protect the Buyer in Real Estate Transactions.

Did You Know,..

Before you are even to go out looking at homes with a Licensed Realtor-you must have a signed Agency Relationship form? This new form has you the Buyer protected from the start because it demands that the Agent that you are working with explains to you who their loyalty belongs to in a praticualar Real Estate Transaction. This form costs you nothing-EVER! This form protects you from a bad Agent and also protects you for further transactions that may occur with the Agent you work with.

I don't know about you, but if I was going to be spending hundreds & thousands of $$ on a home that I was going to be making payments on for maybe 30 years or longer, I would demand to know if the person who I was counting on to get me the best deal had not already agreed to get the seller the best deal and not me!

Let us remember to always do what is right and protect ourselves from paying too much or not getting our fair and honest representation in a Real Estate Transaction.

ALWAYS get a Agency Relationship form signed and dated from your Agent who is representing you. You must protect yourself as well and be sure the Agent/Realtor who you are working with has their loyalty firmly planted with you and that it is not with the people who are selling the property.

Got it?

Good,..

Get those Agency forms signed and dated by you and your agent before you make any offers on a home and before you begin your home search.

It is the WEEKEND! Time to talk to your Agent and go see some HOMES!!

So,

I emailed out to all of my clients a up-to-the-minute price list and address of all the best priced homes within 0-7 miles of the beach.

I made the list from Newport Beach Area and took the list all the way down to Dana Point.

There are some Smoke'n Hot Deals out there and for those who are not opening their free membership to the most up-to-date MLS listing tool (www.kwrealestate.listingbook.com) then they are missing out on all of the deals!

Some of the homes were on the market for less than 24 hours! Can you imagine the head start you can have by having the best deals emailed directly to you every single morning before anyone else even starts their day?

That's right! These emails arrive many times before 5am every single day 7 days a week from Ken Webb & KW Real Estate (First Team Estates).

So, if you are one of those people who think they could use an additional $18,000 in tax credits this year or could use the insider track to get to the best Real Estate Deals first, or have the largest pipeline of buyers who are looking to buy homes RIGHT NOW, or can use a fighter in your corner when you are ready to make offers on homes, or can appreciate having the State of California's Number 1 Broker & Real Estate Company, First Team Real Estate in your corner then maybe it is time to step outside of what you may be used to doing and talk to Ken Webb with KW Real Estate.

Videos of Fab-u-lous Homes in South Orange County, CA

Welcome to Orange County, California.

The land of TV shows like "Housewives of Orange County" and the land of Hollywood.

Here are a few homes that may just interest you and peek your interest. These are just a sample of 1) the kind of homes you can have first access to as a client of KW Real Estate and 2) samples of what you can expect to have when you choose to list your home with KW Real Estate.

Keep in mind - KW real Estate at http://www.kwrealestate.litingbook.com can get you access to have up-to-the minute data on what is for sale and what is really going on in your neighborhood, city and county.

This means you can have the inside scoop on what is happening in your HOA Association and what is going on your exact location.

Yes, this means you can have free access to the REAL MLS just like an agent does.

Doesn't that sound appealing? Having the inside scoop?

Do Not Forget,.... Go To: http://www.kwrealestate.listingbook.com and sign in and get your free MLS access.

Guess what else you can do once you have a password and username on KW Real Estate? You can even share and recommend your friends to the same website so they can have insider information as you have.

So, do you know anyone who is moving in the next 90 days? Do you know anyone who is relocating anywhere into the USA? How about someone who is looking to invest in commercial real estate? How about internationally? That's right KW Real Estate can get you set up with the best in the business anywhere in the world.

People and other agents talk about "local area experts". In today's Real Estate Market a local area expert just won't cut it anymore. We all need access to experts who have a team of individuals who can meet our needs and our expectations not only in our neighborhood, but around the globe.

Local experts are great, no doubt about that, but what about a bit further than the neighborhood? How about around the city block, or in another city? Maybe even another county? KW Real Estate understands that the market and the world as a whole has gotten alot smaller and business as usual won't cut it anymore.

They say that the definition of "Crazy" is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

KW Real Estate is NOT CRAZY - the time for new action is here and we intend to do what needs to be done to accomplish what needs to be accomplished.

Need help? Ask me - anytime. Have a question? Ask me - anytime.

Fantastic Friday

Real Estate, Real Estate, Real Estate!

Here we are at the end of a work week ( well, maybe not the end of the "work" for everyone) and there are many things to consider as we move forward.

Think about it, can you use an additional $18,000 Tax Credit on your taxes?

Can you take advantage of higher FHA loan amounts?

Can you use the tax write offs that come with owning your own home?

Can you enjoy the pride of owning your own home?

Do you look forward to feeling safe and secure knowing you have provided a home for you and your family?

Do you think you can take advantage of the lowest interest rates we have had in Real Estate in decades?

Can you make a payment that could be around $2,000 and even less each month?

Could you use the tools that a Real Estate Agent has at his disposal to help benefit yourself?

Do you know the price of the lowest price home today in your search criteria? Do you know where it is at and would you like to know about it before everyone else?

After reading all of these questions, I HOPE that in your mind you are shouting YES, YES, YES after each and every question!

If you think you are ready to step up and take what is out there in today's market and make it work for you, then it is TIME FOR YOU to make things happen.

Step 1:

Go To http://www.kwrealestate.litingbook.com  

At this site site you you can have full MLS access just like an agent does.  You can see all of the homes that are available and you can even figure our costs and other issues involved with purchasing a home.

I also know THE BEST LENDERS IN THE BUSINESS!!  

Do you want/need FHA?  I have it for you!

Do you want/need VA?  I have it for you!

Do you want need conventional, jumbo loans?  I have it for you!

It is completely FREE ( yes - free, free, free,) to have a full membership/username & password to hunt the MLS like I do.  It is completely FREE to find out where you stand on getting your $$ so that you can have your very own CASTLE & HOME!

So, What are you waiting for?

Where is it you want to live?

Orange County, Riverside, Los Angeles, San Diego,....You name it, YOU CAN HAVE IT!

Do not be confused by having the mindset that the "Listing Agent" will give you all the best deals, or that if you can just work with a agent a selling a home that they will give you the best deals and information.  

Think about it for a few seconds,.. a "Listing Agent" or an agent that is "selling a home" has their responsibility to the person, bank, or company that owns the home and is selling it.  They can NEVER give you the service and representation that you need and deserve.

This is much to consider and I do not want to overwhelm you.  But for you to win in today's Real Estate market takes some new rules.  I have those rules and they are in place and ready to serve you.

Be on the look out for the "Ten New Rules of Real Estate to come up soon!
