About Realtor Chuck Cavalaris How do you help buyers to find the right properties for them?The first thing is being a good listener. Believe me, that's not always as easy as it sounds! Whether it's a first-time buyer, someone looking to downsize or perhaps seeking a lake front house or mountain cabin, it's important to know the target area and price range. Double Doodle Puppies For Sale OhioBecause many buyers need to obtain a loan, I like to start with a pre-qualification. Puppies For Sale Near Sheboygan WiIt helps to make sure there isn't something wrong on the credit report (which happens about 30 percent of the time). El Falcon Headlight BulbSometimes this can take up to 30, 60 or even 90 days to resolve. It's also important to know the neighborhoods and know what's available.

In many cases, I know something is going to be listed a few days before it goes on the market. How do you make sure buyers get the best price for the property they are interested in?I always check public tax records and find out how much the current owners paid for the property and what the tax assessment is. To be honest with you, it's mostly about recent comparable sales. What did a similar property in that neighborhood -- or at least nearby -- sell for? You also need to have an idea about the seller's motivation or situation. Are they just testing the market or could other factors be involved? Did someone lose a job or get transferred out of state? Is it a divorce? Also, how long has the subject property been on the market and has there been a price reduction. What do you do to help market the properties your clients are selling?I have found that more people are using the Internet than ever before. It could be at least 80% to 90% of the property searches begin on the Web. So, I like to have more than one place on the Internet for them to find the property.

You also have the traditional approach of real estate books and print advertising. Obviously, it's more than just having a sign in the yard. It helps to have a flyer box with updated info. I have also been successful letting folks at nearby churches, school offices, grocery stores etc. know this property is listed. How do you ensure your sellers get the highest price?Wow, that's been tough in this economy and I am definitely glad that East Tennessee has fared better than several other parts of the country. I encourage the seller to try and become emotionally detached throughout the whole process. You have to realize this is most likely going to be a marathon and not a sprint. To get the highest price, you have to be realistic in the starting price. The first 30 days are crucial to getting showings and hoping someoen will come back a second or third time. My job is to help market the property and work hand-in-hand with the seller, who needs to keep things "show ready." It definitely takes a lot of hard work to achieve the desired results!

What do you recommend sellers do to make sure their selling process is smooth?My phone has to ring with someone that wants to see the property and there needs to be a lot of cooperation to make the sure the showings go well. It all starts with curb appeal because the prospective buyer may not even want to see inside. The No. 1 thing is de-clutter and try to remove any pet odors or funky paint schemes. Bland is better and there's definitely been a trend towards earth tones. I often tell people the easiest part is getting a house or condo under contract -- and that's not easy at all. These days you have to make sure the lender has taken the time to do a thorough pre-qualification. It is such a complex process that requires all sorts of documentation. It seems like one thing leads to another to another. I have a strong "power team" of contacts and can suggest someone contact at least 3 lenders, 3 home inspectors, 3 termite companies and, if necessary, 3 title companies. To answer your question, it takes a lot of hard work, experience and good old fashioned communiation on a regular basis.
