Real Estate Timing for Realtors

Are buyers in your market sitting on the fence?

A lot of real estate agents I know are hurting these days - some have even dropped out of the market entirely. Let's face it, in the current financial climate there are just fewer buyers out there. Some would be buyers are having trouble getting mortgages and some would be buyers are just waiting to see what happens with the market.

Both of those situations are making it very difficult for Realtors. It makes it hard to sell listings and it makes it hard to find buyers. Fortunately there are solutions for both of those problems.

How do you convince buyers sitting on the fence that it's time to act? Real estate timing. The problem is that the news is too much gloom and doom, and even when they talk about signs of recovery no buyers want to be the first ones to take action. They want to wait until it's clear that the market has recovered and it's safe to act. The reality though is that if they wait until everyone else is buying then they'll have missed out on one of the best buying opportunities of our lifetime. Buyers really should be buying when prices are down not wait until they've already gone back up again.

What most buyers don't realize is that the news and media don't know when people should buy real estate and when they should sell real estate. Certainly there are some markets out there where it may be better to wait, because price declines haven't finished going down yet. But there are a lot of markets out there where prices have flattened or started climbing already. In those markets NOW is the time to act! But you need facts. You need hard data to show your buyers and sellers what is going on in the real estate market.

I also mentioned some buyers out there who are ready to act but can't qualify for a mortgage right now. Those buyers are painful to turn away these days because you know they are buyers, they are ready. What do you do if they can't qualify for a mortgage? There are alternatives. Lease options are a great choice. It gives the buyer the opportunity to get into a home now before they can qualify for a mortgage. Then they can improve their credit while they are in the home and buy it at the end of the rental period. The best part for you as an agent is that you'll get your full commission instead of just placing a renter - and the buyers and sellers will thank you for it!

There are a lot of sellers out there looking for creative options these days because their home just isn't selling with conventional methods. All of those sellers out there who are telling their Realtor that if they can't sell their home they'll have to rent it out are PERFECT candidates for rent to own. They've already accepted the idea of tenants in their home plus they still really do want to sell - what could be better for them than doing a lease option?
