" Where are the homes for sale ? " |
|
As agents we are employed by you, the
homeseller, to find a buyer for your home. It is our responsibility to
sell your home for the best market value. Our first duty is to protect the
value of your home. By displaying specific details of homes on the
Internet, it means anyone can look at your home - neighbours, other real
estate agents and, of course, homebuyers. If your home does not sell, it
quickly goes stale. It becomes known as the local 'lemon'. It is
well-known in real estate that the purpose of Internet advertising is not
to sell a home, but to find more homesellers.
Many people looking to buy a
home are also looking to sell a home. By seeing lots of homes advertised
it creates the impression that the agent is large and active. This may be
so; but, as a homeseller, your first priority is to protect the value of
your home. You want to sell for the best price. An agent can be large and
active and still not get the best price. Buyers do not buy homes because
of the Internet, they buy because they like a home. They need to SEE your
home. The average buyer spends more than three months looking for a home.
Sure, many of them use the Internet, but they are looking for information,
they are doing research and they are looking for an agent who has the
right home to suit them. In order to buy your home, buyers have to INSPECT
your home. When the buyers contact us - as hundreds do - we discover what
they want. If we feel your home will suit them, we arrange a time for the
buyers to inspect your home.
Genuine homebuyers love our method of finding
a home. They may not be able to buy a bargain, but to a genuine buyer the
most important requirement is finding the right home at a price they can
afford. To a seller, the most important point is the right market price.
And this cannot be done by specifically advertising a home. Advertising
does not sell homes, it just attracts buyers. But there are other more
efficient ways of attracting buyers without damaging the value of an
owner's home by mass advertising it.

" How do you find buyers ? " |
Our sales creators are dedicated to looking for buyers and sellers. We are
available after work and all weekend so buyers can easily contact us. We
advertise ourselves in the newspaper at OUR expense saving you money.
Thousands of people all over Australia and New Zealand are ready to refer
business to agents using the Jenman System. Buyers drive around areas and
look for the "For Sale" signs. They spend an average of 85 days looking in
these areas before they buy. Neighboring properties owners are canvassed. An
up-to-date enquiry log is kept of the hundreds who ring each month. Every
representative has an active client list of potential buyers. |

|
" Do I need to advertise my property
in the newspaper or on the Internet ? " |
THE MORE A HOME is advertised and the longer it remains
unsold the easier it becomes for agents to persuade sellers to lower their
prices. "Look, we've advertised your home and it hasn't sold. The market is
telling us it's too dear." What the agents are not saying is that the
advertising itself may be the biggest reason the home has not sold. In so
many cases, if the home had not been advertised, the selling price could
have been much higher. The advertising damaged the value of the home.

" How much we should pay an agent to
sell property ? " |
Consumers are conditioned to believe that buying or selling real estate is
difficult. For years we have been told we need agents. But, in most cases,
this is not true. In most cases, we do not need agents. Research shows that
nine out of ten consumers do not trust agents. And yet more than nine out of
ten of us choose agents to sell our homes. Our greatest asset entrusted to
people we don’t trust.
Typically, when selling with agents, thousands of
home owners endure one of the worst experiences of their lives. And then,
when their homes are sold – usually for less than they expected – these
owners are forced to pay thousand of dollars. The average commission on the
average home sale is now around $10,000 – plus expenses. It hurts. But it
doesn’t have to be this way. It is easy to sell without an agent. Much
easier than most people imagine. And not only can homesellers save thousands
in commission, there is another huge advantage of selling without using a
typical agent – a higher price. If you have ever met an agent and thought
you could do a better job yourself, you are right. There is little that the
typical agent does that you could not do yourself. |

|
" How much is my property worth ? " |
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON mistakes made by sellers is believing the price the
agent quotes for the sale of their home. Once you sign-up with the agent, if
the selling price is less than the price you were quoted, too bad. There is
nothing in the "standard" real estate agreements that compels agents to
honour their quotes. The 'Quote Trap' catches thousands of sellers who are
told one price before they sign-up and another price after they have
signed-up. As absurd as it seems, if a home sells for any price, the agent
still gets paid.

estate methods and require a bit of discussion and thought. We promise that
