When I say the assessor looked at the "report", what I am referring to is an appraisal report. . Yes, before the assessor came over, I hired an appraiser to measure my unit (cost was $75). . That way when when the assessor showed up, I was able to hand him an official measurement by a licensed appraiser.
This is how to write a good property description
New York does not have a MLS. I KNOW! I can't believe it either!
-That means the first line of their property descriptions needs to be very descriptive and well crafted.
-This needs to be done so that Google picks it up.
-If their listings doesn't make it on to Google searches, that means potential buyers won't see that its available.
-I often look at and copy the property descriptions New York agents write. This helps me to be as bold as possible starting from the first line.-You can do the same when selling your property.
-Fun Fact: I got engaged to my beautiful wife in New York... right in the middle of Central Park!
Make sure the first line that describes your property is bold and makes a statement
WARNING! People have short attention spans.
-You have to say bold words like "WARNING!" in order to get their attention (did it work on you? If your still reading, then yes!)
-If you don't capture them with the first line in your property description, they are gone forever.
-Make sure the first line that describes your property is bold and makes a statement.
Only 4 properties in Burbank have a marketing video
At my open houses I always ask "how did you hear about this home?"
-
If the buyer is under 35 years old, they usually say "Youtube or Facebook".
-
That means they saw the marketing video I made.
-
And since 50% of all buyers are under the age of 35, you need to pay attention to this fact.
-
If you want top dollar for your home, you MUST have a marketing video.
-
Make sure your real estate agent provides this service BEFORE hiring them.
What does selling a home in as-is condition mean?
Almost always the original purchase contract says that the property is to be sold in as-is condition with no repairs done by the seller.
-
However, after the buyer does their inspections, they usually try to change the original contract by asking for a repair or credit.
-
Do you have to agree to their demands? NO.
-
Your choices are to either accept, reject, or counter them.
-
Keep in mind that if you flat out reject you could lose that buyer and have to start all over with a new buyer.
