Know your budget - A thorough financial analysis is crucial. It will determine many of the parameters for your real estate investments. It will help you make the most of your money, while preventing you from considering homes that are beyond your capabilities. Nothing is worse than seeing a home you love, and then realizing it is not financially feasible. Make an appointment with a county real estate brokers, and they will help you determine an appropriate loan amount, and purchase price.

Know what you want - Only the most fortunate buyers find properties with every item on their wish list. Instead of searching for the perfect home, prioritize your wants, and needs. Things to consider include location, type of property, schools, square footage, amenities, and number of bedrooms and baths. If you know what you want, you will be ready to recognize the right property when you see it.

Know the steps - Increase your comfort level, by learning as much as you can about the home purchase process. Find out about the components of the purchase contract. Research the different types of inspections needed, and what is involved in getting a mortgage loan. The better you understand the process, the less anxiety you will feel during the transaction.


Know the marketplace - Knowing the market conditions will help you set the right expectations. For instance, if it is a seller’s market you may have to make an offer without certain contingencies. If it is a buyer’s market, you may be able to offer considerably less than the asking price. You should also make a point to follow interest rates, and learn about different mortgage products.

Know who can help - Find an experienced real estate professional, who has worked in your market for a number of years. They will know the local inventory, as well as the current market conditions. Make sure you feel comfortable with your Realtor, and make sure they will be personally handling your complete transaction.

Well, if you ask any C21 real estate agent what it’s like to be in their shoes, they will probably say that prospecting is the important element in the business. Unfortunately, a lot of real estate agents find this to be the hardest aspect of their job.

Prospecting is done through cold calling, canvassing, bulk mailing, maximizing their contacts, taking floor time, working on the internet and handing out their business cards. What real estate agents must realize is that the work is not easy and there is so much to be done in order to get the license and succeed.

Here is a preview of what they do on a daily basis. They tour the new listings and preview the homes that are out on the market. Basically, they learn what they can and stay informed on what is going on in the market area. They also learn new skills and techniques in real estate so that they can relate these with the laws and issues. These are obtained through real estate training courses and formal course work.

Century 21 real estate agents conduct the market evaluations on homes and they also list the presentations for their prospective home sellers. They show these homes to the prospective home buyers. They prepare the contracts for purchasing and present the offers for the buyers and give them the heads up on the sellers’ offers.

The advantages of being a Century 21 real estate are:
1. High income potential
2. They can work close to home
3. There are flexible hours
4. There’s an opportunity for growth.

The cyclical real estate market has taken a turn, and conditions in most parts of the country now favor the buyer. Often referred to as a “buyer’s market,” this means that the inventory of homes for sale exceeds the consumer demand. As a result, buyers can be more selective, and more conservative, with their offers. The Summit County real estate market is not being affected too much by this market cycle, but we have seen some slow down in certain market sectors, and some sellers are starting to lower their asking prices.

If you are trying to sell a property in a slower market sector, you can use these three steps to help your home go from “For Sale” to “Sold.”

1. Price It - The number one thing you can do to help our home sell in a buyer’s market is to price it right. A knowledgeable buyer, and an experienced real state agent, will know value when they see it. If you price the property too high, you are unlikely to receive offers, since buyers know there are plenty of properties to choose from. Also, if you are forced to reduce the price bit by bit, buyers will not always revisit an old listing, especially if new offerings are continually being added to the MLS.

2. Make it Show - Make your property stand out from the rest. Do the required prep work, both inside and out, to give it the curb appeal, and charm, that will pique buyer interest. Follow the advice of your
Realtor, to help the home “show well.” Clean the clutter, shampoo the carpets, refinish the floors, paint the walls, etc. You, or your Realtor, should
Stage your home before each showing by turning on lights, opening blinds, clearing sidewalks of snow, and having heat on at a comfortable temperature. In a buyer’s market, you have to do everything you can to make your property rise above the rest.

3. Choose Wisely - Hire Century 21 Real Estate Agents who has the experience, and network, to get your home sold. In a buyer’s market it is critical to have a professional who is working non-stop to set your home
apart, and bring in potential buyers. A good Realtor like Century 21 Real Estate Agents will help you set the right price, tell you how to stage the home, market your property aggressively, and guide you through negotiations.
