Thinking of Selling? Call me for an Evaluation of your Home.

Before I became a Realtor myself, I looked for a REALLY GOOD DEAL on a house for our family. You know for how long? For over three years! Gosh, now I have a hard time driving around our town. On almost every block I can see very nice looking properties which I DIDN’T buy, because the deal seemed OK, but not EXCEPTIONAL to me at the time and which is worth so much more now! What did I end up with? I paid way more for my house compared to what our “not so frugal” neighbours (- Hello Rick & Debby!) paid for their, very similar one. Am I alone? Nope, I know so many people (usually they are very proud of themselves!) who are waiting, and waiting and waiting, keep looking and looking for that SUPER DEAL instead of just buying into an OK one and going on with their lives (and other investments as well). In a nutshell, investors and buyers who move fast with normal deals end up way ahead of those who waste their lives hunting for a miracle. (It’s the same story with super savings – name one really rich person who is an expert in penny saving with coupons and alike. With the time and effort we spend trying to save pennies, they make millions!) Think about it: we have about 400 realtors in this town and many more on the Island and BC. Each of them has a list of people who are also looking for a hot deal. Not to mention that thousands, if not millions of people throughout the world are watching our market too. So to be the ﬁrst between all these people you have to be either VERY fast (and don’t even think about being fast without PCS or a Realtor who is really dedicated to you (if you forgot what PCS is - see Part 4 on www.victor-k.com, it's important!) …or just being mistaken, overlooking something and ending up with not such a hot deal after all. Sure, you know something not many people are aware of (pssst, just between us!) like a foreclosure sale (where you can buy a dollar for a dime, right?) or even better, an auction where houses of those who don’t pay property taxes are sold. Let me tell you a secret. The above are not secrets at all; more than that, serious buyers or investors don’t go there at all. Why? For a few simple reasons: If it's a foreclosure, you have to bring an unconditional (!!!) offer, which means you have to do a full scale investigation, including costly building inspection, BEFORE making an offer (not after, like usual) and if it's accepted, wait (sometimes 4-6 weeks) for court, where an amount you bid will be disclosed to EVERYBODY in the court room, including a few Realtors with their clients, who will know not just how much you bid, but also that you made your investigation and paid for it. Why will they be in this court room? For a very simple reason – to outbid you, knowing all of above info. So what did you spend all this time, money and effort for, and maybe lost out on other good deals? (As soon as your offer is accepted you are tied up until the court day, you can't make an offer on another property). In my opinion – for nothing! The situation is even worse for so-called tax sales. Let's say you won that auction and got a really good deal plus the market is moving in the right direction. Did you know that the previous owner, the same guy who didn't pay taxes, has a whole two years to come up with the amount he owes and get his house back? Why wouldn't he, if the market going up? What you will get is the amount you paid plus tiny interest, that's it! If the market goes down, you will lose too, so it looks like a lose-lose situation to me. While we are on the “disappointment” note; let me disappoint you one more time. When I say “you”, I mean those bargain hunters whose buying “technique” includes only one tool – a very low offer in the hope that a miracle will happen. Does it? Sure, but only once in a blue moon. Much more often it’s just wasted time, effort, disappointment and … again and again, lost good deals. I’ve seen it so many times – a very nice house just came on the market, brought a lot of attention, 5-6 showings on the very ﬁrst day, an eager buyer who knows it’s already a good price… but still wants to offer $30,000 or even $50,000 below listing price. Result? An upset seller, no response to your offer and the house is sold to someone else who offered a more reasonable amount. By the way, after that, next time even your own Realtor might call his other buyer, not you, knowing you are inclined to look for a miracle. What is a reasonable offer? We talked about it in Part 5 on www.victor-k.com. Questions? Call 250-713-5402 or e-mail victor-k@shaw.ca
