Your home has been on the market all summer—NOW WHAT??

As we officially close the book on the real estate selling and buying season, many people trying to sell their homes are at a loss as to why their home went the entire prime selling season without being sold. Never fear, that’s why we are here. Paige Slyman is an expert in assessing what his clients have been doing wrong and helping steer them in a new direction that will lead you to home selling success.

Even small changes in your selling approach can yield huge results. For example, did you know that it is imperative that you should update your marketing materials and/or MLS photos according to what the current season? Applying this one simple tactic could very easily cut the time your home is on the market in half.

We recently wrote a blog that discussed the below tips just before the end of the summer real estate selling season, however, because we feel they are so important, we felt that we should incorporate them in a second blog.

Below are some very simple, yet extremely effective tips could make the difference between your home sitting on the market or you getting to say word that anyone selling their home longs to hear, “Sold.”

Maximize MSL Photos, Maximize MSL SEO

MLS listings have the ability to have SEO capabilities. Did you know that MLS puts listings with the maximum number of photos (40 photos to be exact) at the top of all MLS searches. MLS then puts listings in order according to how
many photos are in each listing. For example, if you have 40 photos in your listing you will be at the top of a person’s MLS search results, however, if you have 10 photos you will be closer to the bottom of the search results, and also less likely to be viewed by home buyers.

A picture is worth a 1000 words … or a home that well sell quickly

The most important photo you can have in your marketing materials for selling your home is the picture of the front of the house being sold. With so many homes being placed in the metro Atlanta market, this is crucial in capturing initial interest of prospective home buyers. The internet savvy buyer will only click on “see more photos” if the initial photo is a good one. If you do not catch their attention in the first photo, research shows that often times buyers will pass you by.

The market has spoken…Re-evaluate your asking price

It may be time for you to evaluate your asking price if you have gone the entire season without selling your home. A very wise and almost philosophic approach to this dilemma is a tried and true real estate saying that Paige Slyman has learned to live by, “The market has spoken.” Basically, this means that current market conditions are telling you that your current price needs to be re-evaluated if your home is not selling at the price you currently have it listed as. Paige Slyman is experienced in advising and guiding clients on what home sellers should be asking for considering current real estate market conditions.

Ensure directions, map book and page number is correct

It is essential that you ensure that your directions, map book and page number in your MLS listing or any other marketing materials you have are correct, accurate and clear. It is imperative that you make it as easy as possible for real estate agents to get the information they need to show your home. If you don’t, it is quite possible they will move on and show homes being sold by someone that took the time to make it simple and straight forward. It is also important for your real estate professional to remove negative comments such as “if the listing again shows the home the buyer’s agent will not get full commission.” This is unnecessary and often times angers real estate professionals and turns off potential buyers.

Ensure showing instructions are not appointment only.

It is very important to make sure that your home is not being shown with appointment only. This may be a bit of an inconvenience for you, but in the long run, it will work out to your benefit. Real estate professionals show their clients several perspective homes and if your “appointment” times do not match the schedules of both the real estate professional and their clients, more than likely your home will not get shown.

Use specific verbiage, not general jargon and fluff descriptive words

Most home buyers are savvy, and using words such as “great home” or “wonderfully decorated” is often ignored and viewed as biased fluff. When describing your home, get to the point and give key aspects you know home buyers will find as buying points.

In closing, often times selling your homes requires you to step back and put yourself in the position of both the real estate professionals showing your home and the potential buyers you are looking to entice to choose your home as opposed to the thousands of other homes on the market in the metro Atlanta area. If your home has gone the entire real estate selling season and your home has still not sold, contact Paige Slyman to begin the process of implementing higher level tactics to ensure that your home will sell.

Reflection of Gratitude: Thank you to Slyman Real Estate clients

As we approach the end of yet another real estate “selling season,” I feel that it is important to reflect on the relationships that I have been fortunate enough to develop over my career in the metro Atlanta real estate industry. To this day, one of my biggest thrills is to help clients find the home of their dreams. It is this excitement and gratification that has kept me in the industry and why I can honestly say that I love my job.

It is important for me to acknowledge my client’s support and let both current and future clients know that I am not only honored that they have chosen me to be their REALTOR®, but that I take that responsibility extremely serious as well. Over the years I have been able to experience the pure joy and excitement that my clients experience when they realize that they are walking into their new home…and that is something that I am very proud to help facilitate.

As I continue to reflect, I can not help to not only be thankful for my incredible clients, but for all of the gifts that God has brought into my life. I truly feel blessed to be surrounded by a beautiful family and lifelong friends that support me unconditionally. I draw strength and motivation from their support. As I go about my days, surrounded by my client’s dreams of home ownership, I am reminded of my love and gratitude for our great country and the promise of hope that it brings to all of us.

One of the most important lessons I have learned throughout my career is to never take anything for granted. I thank God everyday for my health and the ability that he has given me to give both my family and my clients 110% every single day. I take great pride in being as knowledgeable and helpful as possible for my clients, if simply because they deserve to have the best real estate counsel possible.

I am honored and humbled by the continued referrals by past and present clients. I truly regard client referrals as the highest compliment I could ever receive. It is my personal goal to ensure that every single  Slyman Real Estate client receive personalized attention and know that Slyman Real Estate does care about them as a person and client.

Count Down To Autumn Part 2: 7 critical things to do when selling your home

In last week’s blog we focused on the fact that we are steadfastly drawing near the end of what most real estate professionals consider to be the “real estate buying” season. If you recall, we mentioned that the months between February and October have been coined that because historically, the real estate industry sees more transactions during those months than any other time of the year. In part one of our series on things to do as the real estate buying season ends” we focused on tips for buyers that have yet to find their dream home. In part two, we will take a look at what MUST be done to ensure that your home sells in a timely manner. After all, the real estate “buying season” is about to be over and you have still not sold your home, and that means one thing, it’s time to re-evaluate your selling strategy.

Re-evaluation is a key aspect to any real estate selling strategy. This requires taking an open and honest look about what is and is not working with your current approach. Below are tried and true, results driven tactics and advice given from one of Atlanta’s real estate heavy weights, Paige Slyman. The below advice comes from years of experience and industry know how. Take notes because you are about to learn the tricks of the trade that could make the difference between your home sitting on the market or you getting to say the triumphant and glorious word that anyone selling their home longs to hear, “Sold.”

Four Seasons, Four Sets of Photos

When prospective home buyers find your property on real estate listing websites, one of the biggest “red flags” they will see is if your photos do not match the current season that you are in. For example, if a home buyer is looking at your home photos in the summer months, but your photos are of your home with no trees and perhaps even worst … snow in the picture… nothing says “lack of attention to detail” and “wow, this home has still not sold?” than pictures that are not up to date and current. Paige recommends updating and changing your photos for all four seasons. This will also give a fresh new look and approach that could perhaps even interest people that have once overlooked your home. Providing current photos is a key aspect of real estate marketing strategy and should be executed immediately.

Maximize MSL Photos, Maximize MSL SEO

In the quest to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of their marketing efforts, many businesses go to great lengths to increase their search engine optimization. If you are unclear of what this is, let us briefly explain. Have you ever done a Google or other search engine Internet search? More than likely, the answer is yes. Well, search engine optimization or SEO for short, is an attempt to put your website or listing at the top of people’s internet search. Research proves that links that are at the top of Internet searches are more likely to be visited than links that are not at the top of a person’s search results.

MLS listings have the ability to have SEO capabilities as well. Did you know that MLS puts listings with the maximum number of photos (40 photos to be exact) at the top of all MLS searches. MLS then puts listings in order according to how many photos are in each listing. For example, if you have 40 photos in your listing you will be at the top of a person’s MLS search results, however, if you have only 10 photos you will be closer to the bottom of the search results, and also less likely to be viewed by home buyers.

A picture is worth a 1000 words … or a home that well sell quickly

The most important photo you can have in your marketing materials for selling your home is the picture of the front of the house being sold. With so many homes being placed in the metro Atlanta market, this is crucial in capturing initial interest of prospective home buyers. The internet savvy buyer will only click on “see more photos” if the initial photo is a good one. Sellers are often advised to cut trees down, trim shrubbery, plant flowers, remove cars from the driveway, among other “improvements” to ensure the perfect front of home photo. If you do not catch their attention in the first photo, research shows that often times buyers will pass you by. The lesson to be learned here is to one: Make sure the photo of the front of your home is amazing and two: make sure that the first photos home buyers see is the front of your home. Statistically, you will be more likely to catch their attention.

The market has spoken…Re-evaluate your asking price

As we begin to place another “real estate buying season” in the history books, it may be time for you to evaluate your asking price if you have gone the entire season without selling your home. A very wise and almost philosophic approach to this dilemma is a tried and true real estate saying that Paige Slyman has learned to live by, “The market has spoken.” Basically, this means that current market conditions are telling you that your current price needs to be re-evaluated if your home is not selling at the price you currently have it listed as. Paige Slyman is experienced in advising and guiding clients on what home sellers should be asking for considering current real estate market conditions.

Ensure directions, map book and page number is correct

This piece of advice ties in to the previous advice about keeping your photos current. It is essential that you ensure that your directions, map book and page number in your MLS listing or any other marketing materials you have are correct, accurate and clear. It is imperative that you make it as easy as possible for real estate agents to get the information they need to show your home. If you don’t, it is quite possible they will move on and show homes being sold by someone that took the time to make it simple and straight forward. It is also important for your real estate professional to remove negative comments such as “if the listing again shows the home the buyer’s agent will not get full commission.” This is unnecessary and often times angers real estate professionals and turns off potential buyers.

Ensure showing instructions are not appointment only.

It is very important to make sure that your home is not being shown with appointment only. This may be a bit of an inconvenience for you, but in the long run, it will work out to your benefit. Real estat professionals show their clients several perspective homes and if your “appointment” times do not match the schedules of both the real estate professional and their clients, more than likely your home will not get shown.

Use specific verbiage, not general jargon and fluff descriptive words

Most home buyers are savvy, and using words such as “great home” or “wonderfully decorated” is often ignored and viewed as biased fluff. When describing your home, get to the point and give key aspects you know home buyers will find as buying points.

In closing, often times selling your homes requires you to step back and put yourself in the position of both the real estate professionals showing your home and the potential buyers you are looking to entice to choose your home as opposed to the thousands of other homes on the market in the metro Atlanta area.

In a market where competition is fierce, it is imperative that you develop marketing and selling strategy that will set your home apart from the cluttered market and put you on the fast track to selling your home. If your home has been on the market for an extended period of time, contact Paige Slyman to begin the process of implementing higher level tactics to ensure that your home will sell. Numbers don’t lie and Paige has the proven track record to back up the success of his proven selling techniques.

Preparing for the Autumn Real Estate Buying Season: 3 things you must do

According to historical real estate statistics and data, summer and spring see more real estate transactions than any other time of the year. Because of this, the months between March and October have been pinned the official real estate “buying season.”  As the buying season begins its gradual decent into the real estate history books, many buyers have been left with the stark realization that they have yet to find the perfect home for their families.

With the real estate market fostering prime conditions for buyer’s to take advantage of motivated seller’s, many buyers can be perplexed as to why they haven’t found the “real estate gold” they have spent the entire buying season searching for.

A number of factors can contribute to a buyer having trouble finding the perfect home, especially in the midst of the busiest real estate transaction season of the year. These factors include limited school districts and neighborhoods, inflexible price ceilings and not being creative and resourceful in terms of how both you and your real estate professional search for your quest for the perfect home.

Below are three critical tactics that should be implemented if you have gone through the height of the real estate season without finding your perfect home.

Research and consider other possible school districts or neighborhoods

Which school district a home is in is one of the top selling and buying points with anyone that already has or plans to have children. School zoning is so important in fact, that often times families are willing to pay premium prices to ensure their kids are able to attend a respected and high achieving school. Families are not very quick to leave a home in a great school district, thus, if you are looking in those districts, it might be harder to come across your dream home simply due to a lack of people leaving the neighborhood. If you have gone through the entire real estate season and not found the perfect home, it might be advisable for you to do some serious research about other schools in your area that might be suitable for your children as well. Opening up your search criteria to include other school districts could set you up for finding incredible deals and possibly your new home.

Re-consider your budget

Are you sitting down? If not … make sure you are because the statistic we are about to discuss is so incredible that it is sure to shock you. Did you know that for every 10,000 dollars you spend when buying a house, it only (approximately) increases your month mortgage payment only extra 55 dollars per month? Often times, re-evaluating your price ceiling can open you up to an entire new selection of homes. Discuss your current price range with your real estate professional as they can guide and advise you as to what you can feasibly afford. Your real estate professional can also advise you as to what the extension of your current price ceiling will get you in terms of “more home” for your money and the number of homes it will put in your home search.

The open minded buyer gets the home

Initially, most home buyers are very specific about what they are looking for in a home, some buyers more so than others. While having high standards and specific search requirements are necessary and advisable for any buyer, sometimes, it might be necessary to re-evaluate your requirements. Although we would never recommend that a buyer compromise their standards in terms of quality, it is sometimes advisable to access the specific requirements that you are placing upon both your real estate professional and the entire home buying process. For example, if your initial search was so specific that your real estate professional was not able to show you many houses due to minor requirements such as a specific color of a house, type of flooring or other aspects of your search that should not necessarily be a deal breaker unless your heart is dead set on a particular requirement, perhaps those requirements should be re-considered. Take a moment to review your requirements and access which ones can stay and which ones can go.

In closing, as we approach the end of yet another real estate buying season, we recommend that any buyer that has not yet found the perfect home take a few moments and reflect upon their current real estate strategy. Having an open and candid conversation with your real estate professional about what is working and not working in your home search should be the first thing on your to do list. Re-evaluating what you are looking for in terms of a home can quite possibly open you up to a new world of real estate and possibly lead you to your dream home.

Metro Atlanta Real Estate Market: Owning vs. Renting

The real estate market is similar to the stock market in that it is normal for the market to shift gears and switch from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market and vice versa. In other words, the current market conditions will not last forever. If you ever wanted to purchase a home for any reason, now is the time. The present real estate circumstances, such as low interest rates and home prices have fostered an environment that have set up both current and potential real estate buyers for success.

Below is an in depth look at why NOW is the time to buy rather than rent your home in metro Atlanta:

Owning is less expensive than Renting in Metro Atlanta

The combination of low interest rates and home selling prices have made it possible for buyers to become home owners for much cheaper than then rapidly rising Metro Atlanta rental rates.  In fact, Zillow came out with its rent vs. owning index, which shows it is currently more expensive to rent than own a three bedroom, two bath home in most of America’s 50 largest cities.

Another explanation of the current rise in rental rates is supply and demand. The massive shortage of rental properties have lead to an significant increase in rental prices. The timing is now PERFECT for home buyers to take advantage of the current prime real estate environment.

Going, going, GONE. Low interest rates won’t last forever

Most experts do not expect the current low interest rates to last forever. Currently, potential home buyers can take advantage of low interest rates. However, factors such as impending mortgage reform and the fact that interest rates will increase as the economy improves come together to suggest that interest rates will eventually rise. Because the combination of both price and interest rates determine the overall cost of home ownership, it is imperative that anyone looking to buy real estate take advantage of the low interest rates while they are still available.

In closing, renting a home is the equivalent of having an adjustable rate loan with no cap that will readjust with higher rental rates each year. By locking in the current low interest rates, potential home owners can guarantee that the price of their living expenses stays the same, year after year. With that being said, low interest rates and rising home prices have set the stage for Metro Atlanta home buyers to enjoy the benefits of home ownership.

Atlanta Property Investment: Five Things Every Real Estate Investor Should Know

As one the largest appreciating real markets in the country, Atlanta has become a literal treasure hunt for real estate investors looking to capitalize on the unprecedented amount of good deals in the metro Atlanta area. If you were ever going to invest in the Atlanta real estate market… Now is the time.

However, it is crucial to note that not all investment properties are necessarily good investments. When looking to invest, each property being considered should be held to strict standards and criteria.

Paige Slyman is an expert in investment properties in the metro Atlanta area. For over 2 decades, both new and seasoned real estate investors have been seeking his counsel for his extensive Metro Atlanta real estate knowledge market experience.

In the below information, Paige clearly spells out the five things every property investor MUST take into account before they invest.

Below are the top 5 things to consider when evaluating investment properties:

Return on Investment

As with any investment, it is crucial to make sure that you are buying a property that stands to give you a significant ROI. One way to maximize your ROI is to research the rental rates of the homes in the area. Then the investor must determine what the mortgage and other maintenance and renovations costs will be and compare those figures to determine if it would be a sound investment. Other factors that one should also consider in terms additional expenses are major taxes like Capital Gains Tax.

Paige recently located and assisted an investor in purchasing an investment property for 140k with 15k in renovations with the purpose of putting it on a rental program. The mortgage payment is only $900 and the property is currently renting for $1300 per month. Also, it is important to note that due to Paige’s expertise in property management, he had the property rented within a week. He recommends the average investment property investor target profit between $300 to $400 positive cash flow per month.

Accusation costs (purchase & renovations)

When looking to invest in an investment property, it is important to factor in renovation and maintenance costs, in addition to the original purchase costs. For example, if the property is being sold for 150k but will need 25k in renovations, the additional 25k must be factored in the monthly mortgage payment.

Paige Slyman is an expert in advising clients on the estimated costs of renovations, repairs and necessary upgrades that MUST be done to a home before it is suitable for re-sale or to be rented. Most industry experts agree, unless you are a real estate expert, DO NOT purchase a home for the purpose of renting it or to flip for re-sale without consulting a real estate professional.

ARV (After Renovated Value)

In most cases, when looking to purchase an investment home, renovations will be necessary. However, it must be noted that not all renovations and upgrades are created equal. Paige Slyman is an expert in advising clients on which renovations are most likely to increase the resale or rental value of the property.  For example, it may be more beneficial to update and renovate one area of the home as opposed to another area.  Before purchasing a home for investment purposes, it is advisable to consult with a real estate professional to determine which renovations will be necessary and also have the ARV (After Renovated Value) evaluated and estimated.

Financing

Aside from a favorable selling price, availability of financing that offers very flexible payment terms and low mortgage terms should also be considered. When the monthly amortization is lower than the rental rate your property is earning, you will have a property that can generate positive cash flow, creating an asset that puts money in your pocket. An experienced and knowledgeable real estate professional will be able to guide and assist you through the entire financing process.

Property Condition

When investing in real estate, it is essential that the investor have the property thoroughly investigated to ensure that the home is structurally sound. Often times, properties that are going into foreclosure are not well maintained and could potentially have hidden repair costs. As we discussed earlier in this blog, the estimated cost needed to repair and/or renovate the property should be factored in the cost of investing in the property. A property which needs extensive repairs that are costly should be carefully considered before investing.

In closing, with the proper guidance from a real estate professional that is experienced and well versed in buying investment properties for the purpose of renting or selling the home for a profit, there has NEVER been a better time to invest. Paige has been advising metro Atlanta real estate investors for over 2 decades and he is a real estate investor himself.  Call him today to assess your options and take the first step in becoming a successful real estate investor.

Trouble Selling Your Home? Property Management is the Solution

For over 2 decades, Paige has been a trendsetter in Atlanta real estate strategy and solutions. As more of his loyal clients are faced with the reality that while they need to sell their home for various reasons, whether it be to downsize, move for career opportunities or the addition of new family members, they might not want to sell their property.

Disgruntled but still hopeful by their situation, many people have turned to Paige to help them solve their real estate dilemma and seek advice that will facilitate both their real estate and financial long term goals. In a majority of the cases, the solution is quite simple actually…Property Management.

Short or Long Term Solution

As the real estate industry continues to appreciate thousands of home owners are turning to property management as a solution to short or long terms gains. This option allows the home owner to keep the home while home prices rise. Allowing someone else to move in and rent your property can provide you with the peace of mind that you are not forfeiting a great deal of more money selling in todays market. Rather you are excited about the much larger profit in the coming years. It also allows you to have the mortgage paid for each month by the renter. It is a win/win situation for all parties involved.

More Renters…Higher Demand…More Money for You.

There is an intense increase in demand for rental property that is causing rental rates to increase, especially in the Atlanta area. This means that if you opt to utilize a property management strategy rather than selling your home, you stand to bring in more cash each month that you can put towards your mortgage or into savings.

Property Management for Investment Purposes

There currently is a huge trend in investors looking to capitalize on the amazing deals in the metro Atlanta area. Many investors are buying properties for the sole reason of putting them on the rental market and allowing a renter to pay for the mortgage, use massive tax deductions, and realize huge gains in a short period of time.

In closing, it is imperative that you seek counsel with a reputable and knowledgeable real estate professional that is familiar with the trends in the area you are looking to buy, sell or invest in. Paige Slyman is an expert in the metro Atlanta real estate market and able to provide you with solid advice that is backed by industry trends, and years of experience.
