Estate Agents Nottingham

By Teresa Butor

If you have ever used the services of an estate agent then you will probably have suffered some frustration with their service. Selling your home is one of the most important things you will do, and as we all know moving home is considered one of the most stressful things you can do. Now a new estate agent in Nottingham is trying to raise the game to suit the current housing market and raise the bar on customer service to get your property sold at the right price in the right time.

Elite Homes concentrate their efforts on offering a consultative approach to selling your property, and are ideally placed to sell or let particularly high end properties.

They offer residential house sales and lettings in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and parts of Lincolnshire. They are already making a name for themselves, and we asked them to tell us the most common questions they are asked and then give us their answers.

Why are you different to other estate agents when it comes to selling my house? You should really give us a call to find out why - there are too many reasons to go into here. Basically though, we use professional services to make sure our marketing stands out and therefore your property does too. One thing we will point out here is that we focus attention on selling YOUR house, not just selling one from our books.

How will you keep me informed? Many customers of estate agents are frustrated by the lack on feedback and information coming from the estate agent. When you consider how busy people are these days in can sometimes be difficult to get in touch. So we do the usual contacting methods, but we wipe out all communication problems by offering you a dedicated web page you can log into and get access to your notes at any time.

What is my property worth? Many customers want to hear higher prices, and estate agents want to give a high price to get your business, and make a larger commission. Often, this ends up with an inflated price. Elite Homes will always do their best to get the best possible price, but will give you a fair market valuation. Where they do stand out is that can offer a House Doctor Service free of charge, where they can make recommendations to realistically increase the value of their homes. - 31864

How To Determine The Value Of A Property When Flipping Real Estate

By J. P. Turner

The key to succeeding at flipping real estate is to purchase properties for the right price so that there is room to make a decent profit. You will not be able to do this is you don't have a good understanding of the property values in your area. Here are some tips to assist you in determining the value of the properties you are thinking about buying.

The price of real estate varies quite a bit from one area to another, even from one neighborhood to another within the same town, so it is impossible for any article to tell you the value of a house. It is possible to tell you how to figure it out for yourself though.

One of the biggest things that can impact the value of a home is the school district that it's located in. A house that is in a good school district will be worth more than one in a poor district, even if they are right next door to each other. Property values are also affected by things like crime rates, the way the neighborhood looks and the average wages in the area.

If you are working with a real estate agent, it should be easy to get comps for a house you are considering purchasing. All you have to do is ask. These comps, or comparable properties, will give you an idea of what similar properties have sold for in the area recently. You can use this information to make an educated guess about the price you will be able to get for the home when you are ready to sell it.

Getting an accurate estimate of the cost of repairs is a very important part of valuing real estate. When you are new to rehabbing, you should ask two or three good contractors to inspect the property before you make an offer. They can give you an idea how much it will cost to get the house ready to re-sell. After you have been doing it for awhile, you should become familiar enough with the costs of various repairs to do the estimates yourself. When buying a fixer-upper, it is usually recommended that you allow room for at least $25,000 in profit.

When you buy a house with the intention of flipping it to another real estate investor instead of fixing and selling it to a homeowner, you must allow extra room for profit. Think about it, the person you are selling it to wants to make a profit too, so you have to buy the property cheaply enough to satisfy both of you.

If you follow these guidelines for determining property values, you will be well on your way to a successful career as a real estate investor. Remember, the amount of money you make on a deal depends on buying it for the right price. If you pay too much for a property, you won't make the profit you expected. Worse yet, you could end up losing money. - 31864

Flipping Real Estate - Not For The Newbies

By J. P. Turner

Up until a few years ago when the financial and housing crises hit most of the US like a brick, people were getting rich flipping real estate at all price levels. Reality TV shows popped up all over showing the rags to riches stories of entire families who started small and ended up running large interstate companies flipping homes and teaching others how to do it.

Those days are pretty much over, but not completely gone for good. If you know how to choose the right properties, and if you can get financing - or use your own resources - there are still good deals to be had, and money to be made.

In reality, this is probably the best possible financial climate in which to buy a house you want to flip. With foreclosures and short sales available on almost every block, it isn't too far fetched to believe you can buy cheap, invest a little, and flip for decent if not big bucks.

If you're determined, first you need to find a house that needs repair, that is being sold much lower than market value, and a house that has repairs that either you can do yourself, or get done at a reasonable cost. (Is your brother a plumber? Can your father put down tile?)

A good deal is to find a home that needs work. Don't buy a good home thinking you're going to just redecorate it and sell it for a profit. That's not the purpose of a flip, and that's not how you make money.

Good "flips" aren't always in good neighborhoods. Drive around to some low income neighborhoods. Find homes that have been neglected, left empty, or even totally vandalized. These can be found for pennies on the dollar. No matter what repairs you make, you'll be able to turn a profit at the sale. Just make sure you are making improvements consistent with that neighborhood. For instance, adding a pool in a neighborhood where most homes don't even have garages is just a waste of money.

There are still some cities where flips are almost impossible. Even the homes that are selling for less than a few years ago are still too expensive for many people to buy. Add thousands in improvements, and you just further priced yourself and potential buyers out of the market. - 31864
