7 Myths of Selling Your Home – How to List a Home for Sale

by

Home sellers who want to sell their homes have major decisions to make. The challenge for the vast majority of home sellers is that they have not had a career in real estate, and there is much they do not know about how the real estate industry really works, the differences between listing agents and selling agents, and they don’t know the gimmicks that listing agents use to get listings. Having been a real estate attorney and now a real estate broker, I have a passion to protect consumers and give them the absolute truth. This book will show sellers what they need to do to get their homes sold, and what they should avoid.

How to List a Home for Sale

Most home sellers do not know the dramatic differences between a listing agent and a selling agent. Some think they are the same person, but they are not. Today listing agents, as they have for several decades, focus on getting listings. The more listings they have, the more money they can make, because other “selling agents” will sell their listings for them.

Selling agents are the agents who market directly to buyers, and it is selling agents, not listing agents, who have large marketing systems. Home sellers typically expect listing agents to have large marketing systems, but it just isn’t true most of the time. This book challenges traditional thinking, and as a result many home sellers are deciding to list their home with a selling agent who actually does everything a listing agent does but a whole lot more when it comes to marketing.

List a Home

If you are going to list a home for sale anywhere in the United States, I strongly recommend you read this book first. It will save you from making some potentially big mistakes, which could mean tens of thousands of dollars for you, not to mention delays for months and all the stress.

Real Estate Award Given to Sequim Realtor

by

We are pleased to announce that an important Real Estate Award has been given to a top agent in Sequim, Washington. Sequim Real Estate Broker Chuck Marunde has received the prestigious Five Star Professional Real Estate Award, which is only given to 7% of the agents in the entire Seattle area real estate market, out of  25,000 Seattle area real estate agents.

Real Estate Awards

Real Estate Award – The Five Star Professional

The Five Star Real Estate Award is designed to identify real estate agents in a given market who satisfy objective criteria that are associated with providing quality services to clients. Award candidates are identified through nominations received by consumers. To receive the Five Star Real Estate Award, a real estate agent must satisfy five objective eligibility and evaluation criteria.

The ten criteria include customer service, integrity, market knowledge, communication, negotiation, closing preparation, post‐sale service, finding the right home for buyers, marketing homes effectively, and overall client satisfaction. Additionally, respondents are asked whether they would recommend the agent to a friend. This information is incorporated into a client scoring algorithm as a cross check against their average rating. Chuck received the highest scores in all categories, and was eminently qualified for this real estate award.

Real Estate Award – Chuck Marunde

Chuck Marunde is a Virtual Real Estate Broker in Sequim, Washington, with over three decades in real estate, 20 years as a real estate lawyer, author of half a dozen books, author of thousands of magazine and Internet articles (and videos), adviser to Realtors around the country, and national expert on real estate transactions. Chuck is a consistent top producer and the #1 individual selling agent of homes in volume for the calendar year 2013 for Clallam County, competing against other teams and franchise bricks-and-mortars. He is #3 for 2014, unless you don’t count the first two who have other agents and/or assistants working together as part of a team of people, in which case, Chuck is also #1 individual selling agent of single family homes by volume in 2014.

Some believe he has magic powers since he connects with so many highly qualified buyers and closes so many transactions all year long. Combining the power of the Internet, personally designing and optimizing his Internet marketing, writing and publishing books for the local Sequim and Port Angeles market, and giving clients the highest level of personal customer service with uncompromised integrity has created the real estate brokerage of the future. It is not a surprise that Chuck would win the Five Star Real Estate Award.

Buyers from all over the United States do their research and then hire Chuck to be their Buyer’s Agent in the State of Washington. Some buyers are scheduling their appointments as far as a year ahead of their visit to make sure he has time to represent them. Appointments and showings are easily booked on his calendar at SequimRealEstateNews.com.
