The chances of turning a home sales contract into a completed sale increase substantially when the real estate agents successfully overcome obstacles that can block the path to the closing table, according to a RE/MAX analysis of trends in the northern Illinois real estate market.

RE/MAX agents say there is no question that more contracts fall through these days than in the past due to challenges in todays real estate marketplace.

Traditionally it was the rare contract that didnt close, usually not more than 1or 2 out of 100,” reported Tim McCaslin, broker/owner of RE/MAX Sauk Valley in Sterling, Ill. He estimates that this year the failure rate is closer to 5 percent in his market area, while at the same time many more contracts end up requiring extensions but do close eventually.

We see the same trend in our area, agreed Pam Jacobs, an agent with RE/MAX of Barrington in Barrington, Ill. She said no single issue is primarily responsible for making it more challenging to close contracts. Rather, she cited a combination of factors that include regulatory changes, increased scrutiny by lenders, greater anxiety on the part of many buyers and added complications that can come with buying a foreclosure or short sale.

According to Paul Fasold of RE/MAX Signature in Chicago, the keys to closing a contract are for both the buyer and the building to be qualified. A real estate agents job, he said, is to make sure both are true.

First, it needs to be established that the buyer is financially qualified to undertake the purchase being contemplated. That means making sure buyers are working with a lender and have been pre-approved for a loan that will allow them to purchase the property on which they are making an offer, Fasold said. Lenders today are extremely cautious, and each has its own set of loan criteria. Thats why I like to be sure buyers are working with a good mortgage broker who has access to a range of financing sources and can match each buyer with a suitable lender.

Cindy Banks, broker/owner of RE/MAX Cornerstone in West Chicago, Ill., works extensively with banks, helping them sell foreclosed homes. She said the financing of real estate transactions has become more complicated in recent years.

Lenders have more detailed requirements, higher standards and less tolerance for any deviation, noted Banks. Even though we typically represent the seller in these transactions, I view it as part of our job to be proactive in making sure each buyers lender has the information it needs. Otherwise, the transaction is at risk.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is one major lender with specific contractual requirements that are clearly spelled out on its website, according to Kathy Dames, broker/owner of RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals in Shorewood, Ill.

Homes that HUD resells and finances after foreclosure often are great values, but to get that value HUD insists buyers adhere to its rules. So, when buying a HUD home, the buyer and the buyers agent need to go over every line of the contract and abide by the letter of the requirements or the

transaction may not close, Dames said.

As for being sure each building also is properly qualified, Fasold said the most common issue these days is when the appraisal required by the lender comes back with a value below the agreed sales price. That usually happens either because the price is too high relative to recent sales in the area or the appraiser lacks the information needed to develop an accurate value estimate.

It has always been part of my job as an agent to make sure a property goes under contract at a price supported by other recent nearby sales, but today that is more important than ever. And its equally vital to give the appraiser the information needed to understand the full value of the property, said Fasold.

Its also a good idea, contends Cindy Banks, for the listing agent to meet the appraiser at the property so they can walk through it together.

An agent isnt supposed to talk to the appraiser, but you can be present, and you can provide data on comparable properties, she said. My goal in those situations is to make it as easy for the appraiser as we can.

A related issue involves home inspections because even the most perfect home will have minor flaws, said Pam Jacobs. For that reason, both buyers and sellers need to have realistic expectations when it comes to home inspections, she said. Buyers shouldnt treat every cosmetic imperfection as an opportunity to renegotiate the price. At the same time, finding a serious problem, such as one that would cost $ 1,000 to address, certainly is an appropriate subject for discussion. Agents must educate their clients about the entire purchase process, including the inspection.

Perhaps the most common stumbling blocks in todays real estate market are short sales, where the sellers outstanding mortgage debt exceeds the market value of the home. In some cases, there may be several lenders involved, and all lenders must sign off on the purchase price if the seller is to be released from further financial obligations.

Ten years ago, I doubt I did one short sale a year, said Tim McCaslin. Now, banks have entire departments that do nothing but work on this type of transaction, and our office handles dozens of them annually.

With such a large volume of transactions and with multiple lenders frequently involved, short sales can take months to complete. As a result, some buyers lose patience and walk away. In other instances, the lenders will decide not to grant the short sale.

To minimize that risk, noted McCaslin, its crucial to know upfront what documentation the lender requires, what the lenders criteria are for approval, and how the documentation should be delivered. Most of all, he noted, agents have to follow up to make sure that lenders come to a decision as promptly as possible.

When pursuing a short sale, Kathy Dames advises buyers to put together an experienced team, including a real estate agent and an attorney who are both familiar with the short sale process.

If you do that and are dealing with just one lender and can get the seller to immediately provide a complete package of documentation, it actually is possible to close a short sale in as little as 30 days, she said.

Regent Property Group has created an extensive and informative luxury home lingo index, differentiating itself yet again as the best choice for luxury real estate in Austin, Texas. Designed to make the home buying process easier and more transparent, the page includes pictures to help clients visualize the types of products and features available in upscale homes, typically priced at $ 1 million and above.

Demystifying the real estate market and providing quality client experiences are overarching goals of Regent Property Group, said founder Brian Talley, who devised the idea of adding a luxury lingo glossary when he noticed his high-dollar clients were being introduced to so many new available features that were not part of their home buying terminology.

I want to help potential clients browsing MLS luxury home listings fully understand what these homes offer, said Talley, Austins premier luxury home expert. We want to ensure that the people who count here, the clients, understand the plethora of options and upgrades available in the luxury real estate market. Real estate terminology is different in many ways, he said, because Austin’s market has distinct features compared to other real estate areas around the country and world.

Browsing home listings can be daunting, whether its a jet-setting bachelor looking for a helipad and a theatre room, a health-conscious couple looking for an infrared sauna and a saline pool, or a family searching for invisible appliances, a home gym, and a dumbwaiter to make its hectic life simpler. The luxury lingo page takes all upscale buyers into account and includes features that may be found in a starter $ 1 million property in River Place or a $ 12 million ultra-luxury home on Lake Austin.

The alphabetized index covers terms that range from architectural styles to elements of design and increased functionality to high-tech home improvements. It is inclusive of styles and locations, such as lakefront, lake view, hill country, gated, golf course, and more. The page will be updated continually by Regent Property Group as new features begin appearing in the real estate market. Regent Property Group is considered the best luxury home team in Austin.

Profit Confidential, the popular stock market and economic e-letter, says recent earnings reports, specifically same-store sales, of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Home Depot Inc. are a good indicator of current American consumer sentiment.

According to Profit Confidential, “Wal-Mart sales at its stores open at least one-year rose a pathetic 1.3% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. Sales at Wal-Mart, a company that caters to the lower end of retail is growing at a slower pace than American GDP. On the other end of the spectrum, Home Depot Inc., the worlds biggest home improvement retailer, saw same-store sales grow 3.8% in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of last year.

Profit Confidential says the persistent high unemployment in the U.S. is having a huge impact on low-end retail. At the beginning of a recession, you see consumers cut high-end retail spending and increase low-end retail spending. But as the economy has not turned around, with the underemployment rate at about 16%, consumers are cutting back on all kinds of spending, including low-end retail, which can be seen in Wal-Marts same-store results. As for Home Depot, Profit Confidential says the real estate market in the U.S. is still in disarray. People are not upgrading their homes because bank financing is hard to get and the underlying fear property prices will fall further persists. So what do homeowners do if they are not upgrading their homes? They improve what they have which is why Home Depot same-stores sales are rising 3.8%.

Michael Lombardi, lead contributor to Profit Confidential, writes, The really important numbers to help us understand what kind of economic year we will have in 2012 will be the Christmas 2011 retail sales in the U.S.and well be watching them like a hawk. Wal-Marts poor same-store sales number is another red flag for the U.S. economy.

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $ 300 an ounce. In 2006, it begged its readers to get out of the housing market… before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.

NY real estate appraisal experts Appraisal Source reveal a new trend in the real estate market. Previously only used by buyers, now home sellers are paying for their own independent real estate appraisals prior to putting their homes up for sale.

Homeowners have traditionally relied on real estate agents to guide them in the pricing of their home, while real estate appraisers are usually associated with the home buyer and their mortgage lender.

However, in these uncertain times when every dollar counts more homeowners are opting for the opinion of an independent professional real estate appraiser to help guide their critical pricing decisions, reports New York appraiser Appraisal Source.

Why is a correct home valuation so critical?

Most real estate professionals would say that pricing a home too high can be as damaging as pricing it too low. Sitting on the market for too long can make a property less appealing to potential buyers.

Choosing the right price can be a very difficult decision. The key is to find a balance between optimizing revenue while also still being competitive with the other homes for sale in the market.

It all starts with one important question: “What is my home actually worth?”

To sell a home in a reasonable period of time and get as much money for it as possible sellers need the most accurate possible answer to that question.

So, who should a seller trust to answer that question – a real estate salesperson or a real estate appraiser?

Traditionally, homeowners have turned to their real estate agent. But that is changing, as they realize that agents are not only less qualified to value a home, but it is also in their interests to sell the home for less than it is worth.

In most states in the U.S., a person with absolutely no real estate experience can become a fully licensed real estate salesperson in a matter of weeks, while it typically takes a minimum of 2 – 3 years for someone to become a fully licensed real estate appraiser.

Critically, while the average real estate agent sells less than 10 homes per year, an average real estate appraiser will typically value 200 – 300 individual homes over the same period.

The bottom line is that the average real estate appraiser is likely to have far better training and far more experience in property valuation than the typical real estate agent.

Are my agent’s interests aligned with mine?

It is easy to assume a real estate agent will naturally put the seller’s best interests first. A real estate agent works on commission, so they only get paid if their client’s home is sold. And the more it sells for the more commission they get. So surely the agent will push for the highest sale price.

Because of the commission structure in and between most real estate offices, even though you might agree to pay your agent a 5% commission for selling your home, in reality, they will often end up receiving as little as 1%.

Say a real estate agent prices and sells a house at $ 500,000.

With a typical commission agreement of 5%, the commission paid to the real estate agent is $ 25,000. But the listing agent’s office usually only gets half of that – so, $ 12,500 goes to the listing agent’s office and the other $ 12,500 goes to the office of the agent that brought the buyer to the house.

Further, the listing agent usually only gets about half of the money that was paid to his or her office (the rest goes to their broker). That leaves the agent with only around $ 6,250 – or 1.25% of the actual selling price.

What if the agent priced the same home for $ 520,000… $ 20,000 more than in the first scenario? The agent will only make about an extra $ 250 for earning the seller an extra $ 20,000.

In his paper How Much Value Do Real Estate Brokers Add? A Case Study Stanford economist B. Douglas Bernheim finds that…

Because the relationship between the homeowner and the broker resembles a classical principal-agent problem, the broker may not deploy services in ways that promote the sellers interests. (http://www.nber.org/papers/w13796)

“The truth is, there is little incentive for the real estate agent to fight to sell a home for its true market value. It is easier and safer for your agent to price a home beneath its market value, in order to make sure it gets sold and they get paid,” says appraiser Kevin Donegan. “That’s why we are getting more requests for home appraisals from homeowners than ever before.”

Property Buyer spins off home loans consultancy to http://www.SingaporeHomeLoan.net

Property Buyer, a Singapore based property portal is soft launching its revamped site with additional search engine application dedicated to finding real estate properties within Singapore. The company also is transferring its home loan functions to its sister website SingaporeHomeLoan dot net while maintaining a mortgage section at http://www.propertyBuyer.com.sg/mortgage for continuity.

The same team of home loan consultants will continue to service loan inquiries from both websites (the change over will be transparent for users) and will continue to be branded, “Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants,” with expertise on property buying loan consulting activities for high net worth individuals as well as the generic property loan refinancing activities.

This split will allow the two websites to be more focused in developing their own growth path while maintaining a symbiotic inter-dependence on each other as people who need home loans may need to look at properties and vice-versa.

Focus of Singapore Home Loan website

The new focus of SingaporeHomeLoan dot net (Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants) will be around providing better tools and data around loan comparisons to facilitate buyers to make an informed financing decision.

After the re-organization, the brand “Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants” will be used by http://www.SingaporeHomeLoan.net to ensure continuity. Property Buyer is a research focused mortgage consultant that does research into property economics as well as issues and regulations affecting property prices.

Focus of Property Buyer website

Property Buyer website continues to be the flagship website for the company and will continue to have a loans consultancy section within it’s website at Property Buyer Mortgage. The split will enable Property Buyer to break free from having to work around a home loans focus and to concentrate on providing tools, developing products as well as functionality that helps buyers to make the property buying process simpler and less risky. With the re-organization, the website will develop more revenue sources for the website around the property and wealth related segment.

The Managing Director of Property Buyer says, “We are pleased with our increased market presence so far. Currently Propertybuyer.com.sg has a three-month global Alexa traffic rank of 1,091,767. The site is relatively popular among users in the city of Singapore (where it is ranked #4,876). (Alexa, 21st July 2011) The split is more psychological in nature, as it frees up creative space to develop tools, products and services that is relevant to each website’s needs. And therefore we can better meet customers and readers expectations. We can develop more business successes only if and when we provide what the market is looking for.”

About Property Buyer
