your home's marketing pictures should not have a time stamp
You have seen it before... the time stamp at the bottom of a picture marking when a picture has been taken.
This could be useful for personal family photos... but not your homes marketing pictures!
I see time stamps used quite often in real estate agents marketing pictures. It's lazy and unprofessional.
Even worse, some agents will use old pictures displaying a time stamp from many years ago. That leaves buyers wondering "why didn't they use a more recent photo... is there something wrong with the property?"
This second guessing by buyers should be avoided at all costs.
Remove all time stamps from your homes marketing pictures
Save the time stamps for your personal family pictures... and not when trying to sell the most expensive item you personally own (your home).
.
If your agent leaves a time stamp at the bottom of your properties marketing pictures, not only is it unprofessional, its lazy.
.
Call your agent out on it!
.
Happy Mother's Day!
Proofread your real estate agents work for any misspellings
Always proofread your real estate agents work. You look bad when they misspell.
Proofread your real estate agents work for any misspellings
When your agent misspells words in the public remarks of your homes marketing, it looks bad, really bad.
.
As soon as your marketing is up, ask your agent to see a copy of his work.
.
Check for spelling errors immediately so you can avoid any embarrassment.
How accurate are "Zestimates"?
Nothing can replace a trained agent doing a walkthrough of your property... NOTHING.
Zillow "Zestimates" are not accurate
Zillow does not take into consideration the condition of your home. It's impossible for a robot to know this info.
.
Because of this, the home value they give is usually off... I have seen up to 40% off!
Short Sales Vs. Foreclosures
Both a short sale and a foreclosure will severely damage your credit score.
keep that in mind before you go down either road.
The sheriff could physically remove you from home if you stop paying your mortgage
Haven't paid your mortgage for a while? Are you getting foreclosed on?
.
The sheriff could come and throw you out of the house.
.
At that point your lender owns the home, not you.
.
Oh, and those sheriffs are almost as big as this #Trex!
After removing all contingencies, whats the worst that can happen if I back out of escrow?
I have never had a client go through litigation, but I know of people that have. - You want to avoid this at all costs. - It’s simply time and money down the 🚽 - If you enter into a purchase contract, you better be ready to hold up your end of the deal.
You may be able to keep your home buyers deposit money if they back out of the deal for no reason
If the buyer has released all of their contingencies, and still wants to back out of the deal, you could go after their deposit money.
.
At that point it would be considered damages.
.
But you have to prove that some kind of damage was done to you.
