Thinking about becoming a real estate agent?

Keller Williams will help guide you through the entire process from the very beginning.  From studying for the real estate exam to getting licensed! Answering all of the questions you may have along the way!

Here are some ways that Keller Williams is different than other real estate companies:

Profit Sharing

No other real estate company shares profits with its employees.

Team building

Most other real estate companies are scared of the team idea and worried that agents will go off on their own.  Keller Williams actually encourages agents to create teams to help propel them to higher earnings through leverage!

Running your own business

Not only does Keller Williams want you to run your own business, they will train you how to do it….step by step so it is easy to understand. Building your own real estate team is at the core of why Keller Williams is different.

Amazing Training that no other real estate company offers
It has been said that Keller Williams is a training company that just happens to do real estate.  There are classes and training sessions that show you exactly what you need to do, when and how to do it.  These classes are taught by seasoned agents so they can also show you what NOT to do!
DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS EXCITING AND LUCRATIVE CAREER!

   

       

What is the value of my home?

 Many homeowners ask the question: What is the value of my home? Some sellers will base their home value on price per square foot.  Others will take the price they paid for the home, add the amount that they put in to repairs, and then add their estimate of appreciation to get the number.  Some will simply guess at the value.

However, these methods will not actually help you find the answer to the question: What is the value of my home?

First, we should start by defining what “value” really means.  In the real estate world, value is defined as “The most probable price that a property would sell for in a competitive and open market.”  Unfortunately, sellers can be unrealistic about their homes value. Sellers often use emotion rather than current market statistics when asking themselves: What is the value of my home?

 Lenders, mortgage companies and financial institutions all have a generally accepted method to determining a home’s value: the appraisal.   An appraisal is an estimate of value as determined by a licensed appraiser.  Before a lender will loan money to a buyer for a property, they want to make sure that the property is worth the amount they are lending.

So the BIG question is: how does an appraiser perform the appraisal?

An appraiser will first visit the subject property to see what condition the home is in.  They will then search for similar properties (comparables) that:

                1) Have sold within the previous six months.                                  

                2 ) Are within a quarter mile of the subject property.

                3) Have similar amenities such as bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage.

After gathering this data, the appraiser will then choose the best comparables (homes most similar to subject property) to determine the most probable market value of the home. This process takes knowledge of the local real estate market, along with expertise of on-going trends in the immediate region.

When a seller asks a real estate agent “What is the value of my home?” it is in the agent’s best interest to try to replicate an appraiser’s method as closely as possible. Using the 3 criteria listed above, a knowledgeable real estate agent can come amazingly close to answering the age old question: What is the value of my home?
