7 Tips For Selling in a Down Economy

Right now, selling is tough business. After the heady days of excess, people are tightening their belts in a natural reaction to an economy that may or may not be in a recession. Yet there are still people out there who need or want to buy your products and services. If you are a salesperson, it is more important than ever to be at the top of your game.

Here are seven tips for selling your products and services even if the economy is in a recession:

1. In a down economy, people are more comfortable buying value, reliability, versatility and effectiveness. They want practical solutions for their problems. They may not be so interested in the bells and whistles right now.

2. Re-train yourself not only in selling but in your products and services. Brush up on your selling technique. And study your own products and services. Become an expert.

3. Remain positive with your prospects. Your prospects are already fearful. Make sure you don’t add to that fear. Highlight the positive aspects of your business and products. Be confident in your presentation and follow-up.

4. Be authentic. Don’t try to be what you are not. If you are naturally funny, a little humor in your presentation can be a great way to break the ice with your prospects. But if you are normally a serious person, contrived humor can fall like a brick and disengage your prospects. Be yourself and let your prospects get to know you as you get to know them.

5. One-on-one personal selling is back. Converse with your prospects in order to develop long term relationships. Ask questions and really listen to the responses. Be sure to incorporate those responses in your presentation. Devise a custom solution to solve your prospects‘ problems.

6. Communicate with prospective customers. Deliver an accurate, thorough proposal to your prospects. And be sure to follow up. Completely answer any questions your prospects may have. And ask if there is anything else you can explain.

7. Make it easy for your customers to buy from you. Prepare your paperwork in advance. Offer a variety of payment methods. And once the deal is signed, be sure to keep in touch with your customers.

This is not the same selling environment you probably faced a couple of years ago. Salespeople now have to sell their products and services. It’s what we should have been doing all along. Get back to the basics of selling.

For Sale By Owner Websites Offer Many Options

With the recent despair in the housing market, house values are dropping substantially throughout the US. Homeowners are researching ways to recoup some of their losses by selling their homes on their own.

Hiring a real estate agent to sell your home has always perplexed me. I have sold numerous homes over the years and the listing agent never actually sold my home. In one case I even sold my own home when someone knocked on my door after seeing my sign. I negotiated a price then and there and shook hands on it without the real estate agent. The sad part of the matter was that he made 6% on my home sale ($16,000) without doing anything. I remember asking him if he could give me a break in the commission price since I sold the home. In a rude manner he said that it was his sign in front of my house that sold the home, not me.

According to 2006 National Association of Realtor statistics, 13% of all homes were sold without a real estate agent. 90% of FSBO (For Sale By Owner) sellers end up going to realtors in the end. Be that as it may, I decided to check in to some of these websites and the options they offer.

I started my research by searching on Google. I found a list of National For Sale By Owner websites. Here is a quick overview of my search results.

1. HomesByOwner.com: You can list your home for free. You can upload 1 photo in the free section. If you would like to add more photos, it will cost you.

2. BuyOwner.com: They do not have a price listed on their website, they recommend that you call them. They offer great Virtual Tours. BuyOwner sends people out to your home to take these Virtual Images. I am not sure on the price, but I had a friend who used their service and spent $2,300. Contact BuyOwner.com for more details.

3. Owners.com: They provide a free listing service. They also offer a $377 MLS listing fee to add your property in to the Multiple Listing Service. If an agent shows up and sells your home, you would only pay the 3% to them as opposed to paying the full 6% if you hired a agent as I have in the past.

4. ForSaleOwnerHomes.com: They also offer a free listing service. These free websites like ForSaleOwnerhomes.com make their money through things like Google ads, that is why they can keep their listing services for free.

5. ForSaleByOwner.com: Fee for a listing is $89.95 a month or a flat fee of $199 to be listed until your property is sold.

There are more websites, but you get the general idea of what is out there. If you are planning on selling your home, I recommend you go through the same research I did and list on as many free websites as possible. If you hit it and sell your home, you will only have more money in your pocket in the end.

The Staged Door

There is that awkward moment when your realtor is fumbling with the lock box to get the key, and you (the buyer) are patiently waiting and subconsciously creating an image of the home you are about to see. Could this be the one? Such anticipation!

This holding pen outside the front door is a golden opportunity for a savvy seller to set the stage for the buyers tour of their home. That front door area is where first impressions start, and it truly creates the tone for the rest of the home tour. Just three simple steps can make your front door set the wow tone for potential buyers: Clean, Update and Stage!

Clean:

  • Trim back bushes, pull weeds, throw down some fresh mulch, plant some flowers, etc.
  • Sweep out the porch, steps and walkway (do not forget the cobwebs).
  • Wipe down the front door (and screen door, if you have one).
  • Polish door knobs and light fixtures.
  • Power wash if necessary.

Update: Now that you can see everything, does anything need updated or repaired?

  • What is the condition of the front door? Does it stick? Do you have to swing your hip into it to get it open? Make sure it operates smoothly.
  • What about your screen door? If it does not work smoothly, or if it is an eyesore, take it down.
  • Do the steps need repaired? Is the handrail sturdy? Chances are these types of repairs might show up on an inspectors list anyway. Might as well fix them now.
  • Light fixtures – are they worn out or dated? Do the light bulbs work? Make it shine!

Stage: Now you have your clean canvas to work with. Look at your front door objectively.

  • Are your house numbers up to par, or looking a little worn (or outdated)?
  • Pitch your welcome mat and spring for a new one. That one small investment can make a huge difference!
  • If you have room, add a welcoming seating area (but please, no cheap looking lawn chairs!).
  • Add some natural elements, ideally potted plants. Choose something bold and of proper scale to make an impression.
  • If appropriate, add a seasonal wreath. Just make sure it is not too cutsie and please, no dried flowers (they represent death in some cultures).
  • Adding solar-powered lights along the walk way or spotlights highlighting a tree can also make a big impact.

Now that you have that wow front door, remember to check on it periodically to water the flowers and keep it swept.

I would be remiss if I did not take this subject to the next step. What happens once they walk inside your home? Keep up the momentum and stage the inside of your home too! A professional stager has the objective ability to see your home as a buyer would see it, and make resourceful, yet meaningful changes to how your home is presented.

Go For Professional Interior Decoration and Add More Thrill to Your Home

Beauty is nothing other than the promise of happiness and when it comes to a living place this statement is perfectly suited. That’s why, decorating the living place is a common desire cherished by people since the inception of modern human civilization. With the modernization of time, the definition of home decoration has been changed and the way to see it too. Contemporary criteria of home decoration is creating distinguish images of the owners from others.

Living room and drawing room – two most important elements of home are given prior emphasize by people while decorating. But, the modern interior design professionals give same emphasize on kitchen and bathroom as well. Because, these also have same importance to meet the criteria of a complete interior decoration and convey the message of beauty to the outsiders. Like designing other parts of home, bathroom and kitchen interior decoration is all about giving an artistic touch to make it attractive to suit with other parts of home.

Present day home decorating is not about some simple decor ideas. It consists of acute calculation, maintaining a particular/a set of theme(s) and that too within the budget. Many people think that modern day interior design involves handsome amount of money, but that’s not true at all. The modern designers adopt several innovative processes of designing which cost the home owners very reasonable.

So, if you wish to make your living place a distinguish appearance and create your unique image in your community then nothing but professional interior decoration would be the ideal solution.

For Sale by Owner Tips

Provide the buyer a list of closing costs.

You would be surprised at how many deals fall through because buyers fail to factor in settlement costs. Many times the buyer simply does not have enough cash to close, even though they badly want the house. A good mortgage broker will be happy to provide an estimated list of settlement costs that you can show to prospective buyers.

Do not forget about repairs arising after inspection.

Allow for the cost of repairs that might be required after inspections. The kitchen sink or garage door opener might fail inspection, for example. These repairs would have to be made by the seller prior to closing.

Consider paying the buyer’s closing costs.

Instead of accepting an offer that is less than your asking price, consider offering to pay some of the buyer’s closing costs instead. If the buyer is tight on cash, paying some of the buyer’s closing costs could make the deal go through.

Consider paying „points“ for the buyer.

Instead of negotiating on asking price, consider paying „points“ for the buyer instead. One „point“ is one percent of the loan paid to reduce the borrower’s interest rate. Seller-paid points are tax-deductible for the buyer, so the buyer hits a double by getting a lower interest rate and snagging a tax deduction. Buying down the buyer’s interest rate can be of more benefit than simply paying the buyer’s closings costs. If you pay $5,500 towards the buyer’s closing costs, the buyer benefits by exactly $5,500. But if you take that same $5,500 and buy down the buyer’s interest rate (from 6% to 5.375%, for example), let’s ballpark how much the borrower would benefit. Assuming the borrower kept the loan for 7 years, the savings benefit on a $250,000 loan with a 30-year term would be in the neighborhood of $11,000! And that does not include the fact that the points are tax deductible for the buyer.

Every dollar counts.

You would not believe it, but sometimes hundreds of dollars can make or break a deal. There are a lot of sellers who have walked away from negotiations when they were so very close to striking a deal. Listen carefully and ask a lot of questions to find out what the buyer really needs to make the deal work.

Consider getting a professional appraisal.

Any realtor will tell you that it is better to price a house right the first time rather than lowering the price later on. A new house for sale generates attention from potential buyers, but those buyers will look and move on if the price is too high. Those potential buyers might not return for a second look after you lower the price. Under pricing a house (even by just a little bit) could cost tens of thousands of dollars. A $500,000 house priced 3% below market value amounts to $15,000! A professional appraisal will cost $300-$500, but it is better to spend a few hundred dollars than to leave tens of thousands on the table or to lose a potential buyer and be forced to make extra mortgage payments. The best way to price a house to sell is to obtain a professional appraisal.

In addition to pricing the house to sell and sleeping well at night knowing that you are not leaving money on the table, there is another huge benefit to getting a professional appraisal. Perhaps the greatest benefit to obtaining a professional appraisal is that you can show it to every potential buyer who dusts their shoes on your welcome mat. Each and every potential buyer will be able to review the actual appraised value arrived at by a professional appraiser. This will give your buyer an assurance that he or she is not paying too much for the house. Paying too much for a house is every buyer’s primary concern. A professional appraisal will also give your deal a better chance of making it to closing. A lot of deals fall apart prior to closing because of „buyer’s remorse,“ a condition that often stems from second thoughts about the purchase price.

Do not forget about seller’s closing costs.

There are costs involved in selling a property. Some of these costs include: fees associated with repaying the seller’s mortgage and clearing liens on the property, transfer taxes, documentary stamps, title insurance, courier fee, credit to the buyer for unpaid real estate taxes, attorney’s fees (if you choose to use an attorney), condo/co-op move out fee, association transfer fees, upside down loans (you owe more than you will receive in proceeds at closing), document preparation, mortgage prepayment penalty, escrow fee, home warranty premium (if buyer insists on having one), and certificate of zoning compliance. If you had used a real estate agent, that agent would provide a break down of seller settlement costs. If you sell the home yourself, you will have to estimate the costs yourself.

Street signage.

If there is a busy cross street at the end of your street, talk to your neighbor about permission to put a sign in their yard pointing to your home.

Sell in spring if you can.

Spring is the optimal time to sell your home. If you can list your home in the spring, you will have a better chance of selling quickly as well as selling at a better price.

Do not be offended by lowball offers.

When buyers see a house that is for sale by owner, they will think that they can get a steal on the home. Expect lowball offers, and do not be offended when they come. Do not forget that lowball offers often turn into sales at reasonable prices. When I sold my second home, the buyer had originally presented a lowball offer. My home was listed for $459,000, but the original offer was for $425,000. Months after the original lowball offer, the same person appeared somewhat out of the blue, and we eventually agreed on a sales price of $450,000. Basing your selling price on a professional appraisal will ward off a lot of lowball offers. It also helps to make your counter offer because you can point out that any counter offer you make is below market value.

Simple negotiation tip.

Virtually every buyer is going to expect you to come down on your asking price. Let’s pretend that your home is listed for $400,000. Just between you and me, let’s say that you are willing to take $390,000. If a buyer makes an offer of $390,000, consider the following counter negotiation strategy. Explain to the buyer that dropping the price by $10,000 only drops the monthly payment by approximately $60 dollars per month (at around 6% interest). That’s not much. Instead, offer to give the buyer $7,500 CASH at closing to use on home improvements, decorating or to apply to the first 3 mortgage payments. At a rate of $60 per month, the buyer would have to own the home for TEN years to get the actual financial benefit of handing them $7,500 CASH.

The beauty of this negotiation tip is that it’s a great way to get a buyer excited, and it allows you to pocket $2,500 over what you wanted to get for the house. If you have asked a lot of questions, you will already know what the buyer doesn’t like about the house. If your house does not have a fence, for example, you could use that as a negotiation strategy. Instead of dropping the price by $10,000, offer to give the buyer $7,500 cash at closing to spend on adding a fence to the property. Negotiations are all about finding out what is important to the buyer and making a counter offer that will get your buyer EXCITED!

Encourage prospective buyers to get pre-approved.

Explain to prospective buyers that sellers take offers more seriously when the buyer is pre-approved because the seller has a reasonable degree of surety that the deal will go through. Help the prospective buyer understand that if a seller gets two offers — one from a buyer who is pre-approved and one from a buyer who is pre-qualified — the seller is much more likely to accept the offer from the pre-approved buyer. You simply never know who is going to buy your house. You might offer this piece of advice to a couple who is waiting for their own house to sell before making an offer. If you give them this friendly advice and they go through the pre-approval process, it could speed things up if they wind up wanting to purchase your home.

Keep a list of people who have looked at your home.

Fifty to eighty percent of FSBOs wind up listing with real estate agents. If you wind up listing your home with a real estate agent, you will need a list of prospective buyers who looked at the property prior to the listing date so that they will be exempted from your contract with your real estate agent.

Consider relocating your pets while your home is on the market.

Pet owners do not like to hear this, but pets scare off a lot of potential buyers. A lot of people are uncomfortable with pets, some buyers are allergic, and a few are actually terrified of animals. At a minimum, keep pets and pet toys out of sight during showings. If possible, arrange for your pet to stay with a friend or relative while your home is on the market.

Tips for Selecting an Appliance Repair Company and Saving Money on Home Appliance Repair Services

Everyone reacts differently to the breakdown of a major home appliance, but the most important piece of advice to keep in mind is „don’t panic“! If you already have a good working relationship with an appliance repair service, then you can avoid the trials and tribulations of finding a new one. It’s a big advantage to already know of one or more appliance repair specialists who are trained, experienced, and reasonably priced. When you’re stressed out and faced with the need for washing machine repair, refrigerator repair, or repair of some other major appliance, it also helps to know a professional that provides courteous and fast appliance repairs. If your kitchen oven goes on the fritz and you have a big dinner party planned that evening, the last thing you want to deal with is a surly attitude from an appliance repair company. With a little research and advance planning, that can usually be avoided.

Being prepared with the name and number of a reliable home appliance repair service is always a good starting point for getting the problem fixed. One of the easiest ways to get appliance repair recommendations is having them passed along to you by the people who previously owned your home (and your appliances). Under ideal conditions, someone selling their home to you will take the time to jot down a list of service professionals who have provided reliable garbage disposal repair, microwave repair, and dishwasher repair, to name a few. If you’re lucky, the list will include contact numbers for refrigerator repair, dryer repair, and washing machine repair.

Another potentially good resource for appliance repair referrals is real estate agents. In any medium-size population center, it’s not unusual for there to be more than 3,000 real estate agents competing for the same pool of clients. Granted, many of them focus their efforts on a specific neighborhood or demographic, but the best agents are committed to providing their clients with helpful information and value-added service. If you’re currently in the housing market, or expect to be in the near future, ask your real estate agent if they have a list of pre-screened service companies that do home maintenance, house painting, and appliance repair.

An additional way that a competitive business environment benefits the consumer is the availability of discount coupons. Sometimes a quick visit to the Web site of an appliance repair service can result in finding money-saving coupons that can be applied toward the cost of things like microwave repair, garbage disposal repair, or dishwasher repair. Coupons that are mailed to households in your area can also be a good way to save a few dollars on appliance breakdowns, including refrigerator repair, washing machine repair, or clothes dryer repair.

DIY Home Renovation Tips

Home renovation often increases property value. This is one of the most common reasons for renovations, in addition to updating a home and making it more suited to your personal tastes. When it comes to renovations, some homeowners opt to utilise the services of professional contractors. Renovation projects can be very costly, especially where you enlist the services of a professional builder, interior designer or other specialist. This is why some people prefer DIY (do it yourself) renovations, which can be more cost effective, especially where you have the skills to do some of the tasks. So if you are thinking of DIY home renovations, here is a list of renovation tips that may help you renovate your home.

Plan

Having a plan for each step of your renovation allows you to renovate in a more cost effective manner, giving you the ability to budget accordingly before you start the project; an outline of the project will help during the renovations.

Appropriating funds from your budget is extremely important. Kitchens and bathrooms are huge selling points in a house, which means you should spend the bulk of your time and resources renovating those rooms. Often a new coat of paint or new carpet can change the entire look of your bedroom and living rooms, and both are relatively inexpensive ways to improve a place.

If you are looking to increase the property value, talk to a realtor before you start your renovations. Your realtor can provide you with insight as to which renovations are worth the money and which ones will not turn a profit. Additionally, your realtor can provide you with current real estate trends so you can see what aspects of a house are selling points with buyers and which ones are not.

Improve instead of renovate

Before you start the project, think about what you want and decide whether or not you have to replace things or simply reface them. For example, if you are renovating your kitchen, ask yourself if you need all new cabinets or if painting or staining your current cabinets will provide your kitchen with the update you are looking for. In addition, you can remove the doors of your current cabinets and attach new ones for far less than the price of installing a complete cabinet system.

Cost

One of the biggest costs in renovating your house comes from materials. By purchasing and transporting materials on your own you can save hundreds of dollars. A contractor or other third party will charge you delivery fees among other hidden fees to pick up and deliver materials to your home. In addition, doing this yourself gives you the option of shopping around, comparing costs and finding items on sale or clearance.

The best way to reduce cost is to go to places and source second hand building material. If you can’t access used materials, then head to thrift stores or larger outdoor stores that sell cheaper items.

Design

Creating a design for your renovation is perhaps the most important aspect in the remodelling process. Use resources of the internet to get an idea of how you want to design things and speak to professionals to get expert advice and tips on how best to approach the renovation and how to work with the space that you have.

Extra help

Some renovations will inevitable require the use of a contractor. If you are not accustomed to working with plumbing or cabinetry, it is wise to invest in a contractor to handle those aspects of the renovation for you. The low cost of doing it yourself is gone, but not knowing what you are doing can cost you a significant amount of extra money in the long run! If you must go the route of hiring a contractor, you can still get things done cheaply by doing smaller tasks yourself. For example, if you hire a contractor to handle your new kitchen, you can paint the kitchen yourself, which will save you several hundred dollars.

Consider these tips!

Before you start your renovation project, consider these DIY home renovation tips. Each will save you time and money on your renovation. Adhering to them will help you increase the property value of your home and maximise your profits by allowing you to see a return on the money you spent remodelling, should you decide to sell your home.

Top 7 Home Business ideas

If you’ve spent any time researching on the internet, you’ll have found hundreds of ideas for businesses to start from home. How do you find out which ones are scams and which ones are genuine ways to make money? Keep reading and researching.

Anyone who promises that you can earn quick money in just a few weeks, but requires you to pay them large sums of money first, is probably best avoided.

Any genuine home business opportunity will take time and effort to build up, but we’ve all heard stories of people who are now earning a good income, and some who have given up work completely, by starting home businesses.

One of the easiest and cheapest, even free, ways to start a home business is by using the opportunities afforded by the internet. This can be a low cost option, as there are minimal overheads, your main requirement being a computer and an internet connection.

Ebay reselling – either buying low and selling high – clearing out items from your loft or garage, or using the dropshipping directories now available to buy direct and sell on via Ebay.

Google Adsense – setting up content websites with Google AdSense code and getting paid for every visitor that clicks on one of your ads. There are people making money with this, the outlay is minimal and the potential is huge.

Google Adwords – this is a real art, but there are some people making good money. If you are good with words, then this could be for you. By setting up a Google AdWords campaign and directing traffic to an Affiliate site, such as an Ebook, it is possible to make money. By the way, it’s also possible to spend a lot of money without making even one sale. If you’re considering this option, I’d recommend buying one of the very good ebooks available on the subject, and learn from the experts.

Affiliate Sales – if you are a good sales person and feel that you could write good copy online, this could be your opportunity to make money. Not for the faint hearted, the highest paid “super affiliates” are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Consider that 20% of the people are making 80% of the money and you’ll know that you’ll need to do some good research before you get started. The only option for this is Rosalind Gardners, “Super Affiliate Handbook”, which is a comprehensive manual to everything you need to know on the subject of affiliate marketing.

Write your own Ebook – at one time or another, most of us have thought of this, but have we taken it any further? If you are an expert in an area, or are a good writer, then this could be an option for you. I know of one person who is making a good living from selling a scrapbooking ebook, so this could be a way to make money from your hobby!

Home surveys – find out about genuine surveys that you can carry out for national companies. This can often be a simple survey that you carry out by visiting a shop, restaurant, or similar venue and must be completed online.

Writing articles & webcontent – if you are one of those people that finds writing easy, be thankful. There are many people out there with the skills to set up a successful website, but who haven’t a clue when it comes to writing the content on their web pages. Often times, this is contracted out via companies like Elance.com and you can bid for the opportunity to write for them.

Ways To Sell Your House Fast

There are so many reasons as to why you could decide to sell your house. In most cases, people sell their homes after divorce, retirement, when immigrating to another area or when they have a pressing financial matter they would like to attend to fast. Whatever the reason behind your need to sell your house, there are several ways to do it fast and easy.

1. Add value to your house

One of the fastest ways of ensuring that you sell out your property fast is by adding value to it. It is a process that can involve renovating the house and giving it a new pleasant look. When everything is in order, buyers will accept your property faster. Green homes tend to be more marketable than those that are not so also consider this kind of value when you are looking to sell fast. Have all repairs done and make the home as complete as possible for you to make a faster sale.

2. Do your marketing well

Some of the reasons why some homes take a long time to sell is poor marketing. Putting a ‚for sale‘ sign right outside the home might not be enough for it to get the exposure that it needs. You must go beyond this and probably employ other marketing channels such as the media, classifieds and even social media if need be. Use every channel possible to get the word out there that you are selling. A marketing strategy that is all rounded can go a long way in helping you sell faster.

3. Sell to property managers

Today there are so many property buying companies and managers who directly buy your house regardless of its current state. This is probably the fastest and easiest way of selling fast because you do not have to worry about making any renovations and repairs to the house or even marketing it extensively to have it sell. The buyers can easily be reached online and they will come right where you are, inspect the home and give you a value. When you agree to it, then you can receive the agreed money in cash within a few minutes or hours. The property buyers make the process hassle free for you and you do not have to wait a minute longer than you should to sell the property. You, however must be careful so you get the amount your home is really worth regardless of how fast you want to sell it.

4. Reduce your price

If you do not want to involve any agents to help you sell and you probably do not have the time to wait until the right buyer comes along, you can decide to sell the house for less than what it is really worth. It is not always a great idea, but can work when your mind is on time and money that you currently need. Lower priced houses that are in good shape do sell faster and this approach might just work for you.
