Patrick Wiscombe: It's the Utah Real Estate (http://patrickwiscombe.com/category/utah-real-estate-podcast/) podcast, my name is Patrick Wiscombe. Coming up on today's edition of the Utah Real Estate podcast, yesterday we started talking about foreclosures and short sales. We also talked about started out with a pre-approval. We talked about finding a specialist and learning about short sale lingo and for heavens sake, don't rush into buying a house. That's where we left off yesterday. Gregg Hales who is the commercial real estate manager with Weichert Realtor at the Rockies in American Fork Utah joins me for the podcast. Greg let's just pick up where we were yesterday. I know one of the things we were going to talk about is being realistic. What do you mean by being realistic? Greg Hales: Well I think the understanding is every time somebody hears the term short sale, REO, or foreclosure, they think it's a rock bottom deal. Sometimes it is not. The price is the bank has to get out may not be at market value at that particular time. Do your home work. Find the prices that are comparable and purchase it accordingly. Patrick Wiscombe: When buying a house, you may be getting into an area you simply know nothing about. Again, let's reemphasize that you should use a professional --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR CALL TO ACTION If you're looking to buy or sell a house in Utah, please call or text me (Patrick Wiscombe) at (801) 602-5850. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Greg Hales: If I told you Patrick here's $200,000, please go invest that for me. You would probably meet with financial planners, money managers, different funds, in order to research and find the best place to get a return on your money. People will buy a home for $200,000 and ask their neighbor for what it's worth and pay it. They don't understand using a professional allow you to buy the home at the right price at the right time and the right home for you. Patrick Wiscombe: and I guess I could simply restate what you're saying, get a professional, don't get hosed.

Coming up on today's edition of the Utah Real Estate (http://patrickwiscombe.com/category/utah-real-estate-podcast/) podcast, we're going to be talking about getting your house ready to sell and make it presentable to those who come and see it. Joining me for the podcast today is the commercial real estate manager at Weichert Realtors at the Rockies, Greg Hales, good morning. Greg Hales: Good morning Patrick. Patrick Wiscombe: Greg, let's get right into this. What do people need to do to get their house ready and presentable for those who want to buy it? Greg Hales: The first and most obvious is to hire a professional. Realtors see homes every day, they sell them everyday, they see the things that will help sell your home and then ask their opinion and listen to their opinion. As you prepare to move those things or change things in your home to make it sell-able, they're an invaluable tool to use. Patrick Wiscombe: Let's go over what needs to be done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR CALL TO ACTION If you're looking to buy or sell a house in Utah, please call or text me (Patrick Wiscombe) at (801) 602-5850. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Hales: I think the first thing you need to understand is that a buyer is buying your house. They're not buying your home. You've made it your home by your knick knacks, your decorations, those things that are personal to you. I know this may sound difficult to you at times, but some of those things need to be removed. The things that hang all over your refrigerator, the knick knacks on the wall, those things that have made it your home and your personal home, the things that the buyer isn't attached to. They're trying to buy your house and they will make it their home. The other thing is that to make is sell-able, look at it from an outsiders eye. Are things neat and tidy? Are the corners uncluttered?

Coming up on today's edition of the podcast, we're going to be talking about real estate agents and why you need one. Joining me for the podcast via Skype this morning is Rogers Zundel, the president and owner of Weichert Realtors at the Rockies in American Fork, Utah. Good morning sir. Roger: Good morning Patrick. Patrick: What are the benefits of using a real estate agent? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR CALL TO ACTION If you're looking to buy or sell a house in Utah, please call or text me (Patrick Wiscombe) at (801) 602-5850. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger: One of the things is just staying in touch with current market conditions. You know, people pay attention to what the market is doing on a sporadic basis and you may have heard some information three months ago and maybe that was credible information and maybe it wasn't at that time and you think you know what the market is doing. The real estate market is like everything else it's pretty volatile and you need to have your finger on the pulse as to what's going on today. Recently, real estate is ticking up and we are listing homes in the office now and they're under contract within a week and prices where we had to be a little bit aggressive before as far as getting the seller to see that he had to be reasonable about his price or he wasn't going to sell his house. You know, sellers now are getting full price offers and a little bit above price offers and that's new just within the last week or two. Patrick: I think the perception out there is that offers on homes are not going for the full listing price, whereas I think people's mindset is I can ask whatever I can get for it now. Roger: Well,
