San Diego, California (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

The San Diego bankruptcy lawyers at the law firm of the Golden State Law Group, a firm of attorneys who have dedicated themselves to providing legal help to consumers who need it in the form of bankruptcy protection and other financial problems, hereby announces that the firm is offering a free initial consultation to the thousands of homeowners in San Diego County who may still be facing foreclosure despite the recent news that the number of foreclosures in the county is dropping.

According to statistics provided by DataQuick, a service that tracks the real estate market and foreclosures, there were 5,048 foreclosures completed in San Diego County during the recently completed third quarter. Some have described this as positive news because this number represented a drop in the number of foreclosures from the third quarter in 2010, when 5,869 properties were foreclosed upon. This does represent a drop of 14 percent, but remains a large number.

Fortunately, when people face foreclosure, they still may have legal rights and options that include filing for certain types of bankruptcy protection or working directly with the lender to adjust the terms of the mortgage so that the home can either be saved or even sold without the homeowner paying an enormous financial penalty both in terms of cash and in terms of his or her credit rating.

Thats why the San Diego bankruptcy lawyers at the Golden State Law Group are offering this free initial consultation for local homeowners, as no two situations are ever exactly alike and any potential solution to this serious problem begins with a close and thorough analysis of the homeowners overall financial picture.

About the Golden State Law Group

The Golden State Law Group is a law firm thats comprised of San Diego bankruptcy attorneys who have helped consumers in financial trouble deal with bankruptcy issues that include Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, tax debt issues, mortgage issues and San Diego car accident cases.

Negotiating deals in real estate is in a sense, more a personality trait and learned skill than just a job. How your Realtor can help you negotiate a better deal.

Often time’s people think that they do not need a realtor in a real estate transaction or, they think they cannot afford one. This is a set of thoughts that will generally lead to a great deal of problems in the long run.

The main area that a Realtor is needed in a real estate transaction is in the negotiations. Whether you are the buyer or the seller, it is imperative that you have someone on your side. Unless of course you are seasoned in real estate and an old pro, then you have already learned that there are mistakes with negotiations that are made in real estate.

Realtors are trained to evaluate and recognize different negotiation styles and tactics. There are different ways that sellers will try to get a price for a home they want, or they will offer a low price on a home, because they want to be fair. In either case, there are ways to know ahead of time what the reality and fair market value price should be. Therefore everyone is getting a good deal.

Another set of negations that happen is like when a buyer offers a low price in hopes to negotiate a better price for themselves. However with out knowledge of the market this also will not go very far. The knowledge you have about the market, the area and the conditions of the property will be what makes the negotiations equal and successful. This is where your Realtor will come in.

With a market analysis, inspections on the home, and an appraisal, your Realtor will be able to sit down and negotiate in a way that every one feels like a winner. If you have chosen your Realtor wisely, you will walk away with a good deal. Remember that a less experienced or trained agent may cost you money, so take the time to find the right Realtor to do the job. There are some pretty simple steps to finding the best Realtor to get the best deal for you.

Many times a buyer or seller will let emotion get into the way of negotiations. This is another area that a Realtor is a good intervention. Your Realtor will be working with facts and numbers; there is no need for emotion. Unless you are talking about the competitive spirit your Realtor will have about getting you the best price for your home.

Another area that a Realtor will make sure that the negotiation of the real estate transaction goes smoothly is they will make sure that the financial end is covered. You will need certain information like pre-qualifying in some cases, escrow, etc an the Realtor will make sure that all the legal ends are taken care of.

Real estate has its challenges in negotiations and many other areas. Knowing how to get a good Realtor will make the process easier and more successful for you. Here are some simple tips to finding a good Realtor.

1. Find several names of Realtors that work in the area you want to do business.2. Interview at least three of those Realtors.3. Ask questions. Make sure they are full time realtors that have been around a few years and they know what they need to do to make sure your transaction goes smoothly.4. Hire a Realtor, and set up clear expectations.5. Finally follow through with what you and the Realtor plan.

Trusting your Realtor to complete the negotiations will be your biggest step in closing the perfect real estate deal. The other guy will have a Realtor on his side, shouldn’t you?

So, can working with a Realtor really get you a better deal? There are all sorts of answers to that question, and usually you can tell if the person answering has had a good experience with a Realtor or a bad experience with a Realtor by how they answer.

Realtors are just (surprise) like people in any other profession. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking lawyers, doctors, salespeople or politicians. Some of them are better educated and experienced at what they do, some of them truly strive to have great customer service, some of them are honest, and the other 10% make the rest look bad.

Let’s look at some of the ways a Realtor can help you get a better deal.

1. – True value of a home. What is a house really worth? It’s always worth a lot more to the seller than to the buyer. The seller wants the maximum value they can get generally, and they also may have a lot of time, emotion and history wrapped up into the property, which makes it more valuable to them. The buyer may have some emotion involved, they’re already imagining their kids playing in the backyard and mentally arranging furniture, but they’re also looking at several properties and doing the same with them. A Realtor can be the middle ground to keep these two worlds from colliding. If you are a buyer, your Realtor can first, compare the house you’re interested in to other houses and get a value. This is a two-part process. First, they look up recently sold comparable properties. That is how you’re supposed to value a house, by what has sold. They also take an unbiased look to decide if the houses you’re comparing are really that similar. They may both be a 3 bed 2 bath ranch style, but if one has 500 square feet more, an extra port on the garage, and full sprinklers, it has a higher value. When emotion is involved, buyers may over look things that affect the value of a house, only realizing later that it’s expensive to add sprinklers or fencing to a property.

2. – The second think a Realtor considers for the buyer is the market. While a by-the-book valuation is based on sold properties, an experienced Realtor also looks at comparable properties that are currently listed. Just because last month this style of house sold for one price, it could easily be $ 15,000 higher in a strong seller’s market. A Realtor is typically much more conversant with the movement of the market in an area than a buyer is because the Realtor is working with multiple houses all the time; the buyer is just looking at a few houses for a limited time.

3. – A truly experienced and good Realtor also keeps up on and researches out the up and coming changes in the area. It doesn’t matter how much you talked the seller down on a property-by-owner if after living there two months you find out that a city dump was approved next door a year ago. Another example is where sewer is approved. In some areas a LID (local improvement district) is put on title when sewer has been approved but not brought through.

4. – A lot of buyers think that if they don’t use a Realtor, they’ll save on the price of the house. This thinking really doesn’t make sense. First of all, using a Realtor or not a seller knows what they want out of a house. Very often, if they’re not using a Realtor it’s because they want to retain that much more money out of the sale of the house. They’re not holding that money back so that they can happily give a stranger a lower price. Additionally, if the house is listed the buyer may think that as the listing covers paying for two Realtors the seller will cut the price if the buyer doesn’t have a Realtor. Typically the seller has contracted the full commission with their Realtor and it doesn’t make any difference to the seller so at that point, the buyer is hoping the seller’s Realtor will essentially do the job of two but get paid for one. Additionally, often if it’s a property-by-owner, the house is over priced. Grab any property-by-owner type magazine in your area and then go to Realtor.com to compare prices against similar listed homes. The seller is trying to get maximum price from their house, they have no professional advice, and they over price the home.

What it comes down to is that while you have to weigh your options carefully, not using a Realtor is seldom going to save you anything on the purchase price of a home. However, not using a Realtor could cost you a lot when you make a financial decision in the hundreds of thousands range without any professional advice.

Moving is essentially a process of change, whether it is from the perspective of a buyer or from that of a seller.
If you help first time movers, this will help you create a good working relationship with your customers. Apart from the satisfaction of helping them, you may receive more business from referrals and your first time movers will probably want to use your services again.
As a real estate agent, it is part of your responsibility to help your client deal with this change. First time buyers and sellers sometimes have the hardest time dealing with the effects that come along with moving.
Since you, as a real estate agent, have been a part of this process several times, you can help your client deal with the emotions that come with the territory.
Fear is perhaps the biggest emotion that your clients will experience regardless of whether you are a buyer’s or seller’s real estate agent. You might notice your sellers using the phrase “thinking about selling” as a way to ease themselves into the idea of selling their home.
They also use this phrase as a way out in case they change their minds. As a real estate agent, you can help ease some of these fears by talking your client through the pros and cons of selling their home. Enable them to see all that they will gain by selling their home rather than what they are losing.
When your clients feel powerless, help him or her verbalize their ideal real estate solution. You might write this down for future reference, or simply remember it. As the two of you move through the process, call this vision to your client’s attention when he or she seems to be going astray.
Home buyers and sellers sometimes manifest their feelings about moving in reluctance to end their current living situation. Buyers might hesitate to turn in their move out notices. Sellers put off finding a new place to live.
Understand that, from your client’s point of view, terminating their current living situation makes the change process even more real to them. Respect that your clients will have these feelings, but be there to coach them through as their real estate agent.
Buyer’s remorse is another situation that you might encounter as a real estate agent. This is a normal process that many buyers go through, especially if they have just purchased their first home. Keep in mind that your role as a real estate agent is not over once the deal has been closed.
You should keep in contact with your client even after he has moved into his new home to help with the adjusting process. The best way to combat buyer’s remorse is to let your client’s know upfront that they may experience these feelings. That way when the feelings come the buyers will be more prepared for them.
Your role as a real estate agent extends beyond simply finding houses for buyers and finding buyers for sellers. To create the kind of long lasting relationships that lead to future business, you must assist your clients through the change process associated with their real estate needs.
