Hire a real estate broker to sell your home and one of the first things he'll likely suggest is hosting an open house, so potential buyers can casually check out your property on a weekend afternoon. While open houses are promoted as a great way of finding a buyer, a National Association of Realtors study found that their success rate is a mere 2%. No matter. Having an open house serves another important purpose — for the broker. "It gives him a database of clients," says Sean McNeill, an independent real estate broker based in New York City who says that he doesn't like open houses, preferring to match clients with appropriate buyers. "At open houses, you get all kinds of people walking in. Some are [trying] to see how much they should sell their own places for; others just want to get a look at what's out there." All are perfect pickings for a broker looking to increase his roster of buyers and sellers. "Think about it," McNeill says. "The broker is devoting a couple hours of a weekend. He won't do that unless it helps him in a big way." 2. "My fees are negotiable." Brokers like to make it sound as if their fees are engraved in stone, but that's rarely the case — especially in a brisk market, when brokers fiercely compete for properties they can unload fast. This past summer one broker in the Midwest says he lowered his fee by a full percentage point because there was so much demand for good properties that he needed leverage. Indeed, says the broker, who asked not to be named, sellers should shop around for broker's fees. He suggests these negotiating tactics: "If somebody's willing to commit to me for selling one place and buying another, I give a discount. If you're in a particularly desirable neighborhood with a house that will bring a lot of traffic" — say, at an open house — "that can be used, because the broker will use the flow of people to get potential customers. And with some [smaller] brokers, all you need to do is ask and they'll lower the commission." 3. "Think you've had no offers? Actually, there've been several." Legally, the broker you hire to sell your home is obligated to tell you about all offers that come in. In reality, some don't. Perhaps he thinks the offer is insultingly low for you, but more likely, "the broker thinks it's too low for his own purposes. He wants to hold out for a bigger commission," says McNeill. Or else there's an outside broker (or "co-broker") circling your house, and the primary broker is waiting for one of his own clients to make an offer so he can keep the full 6% to himself. "You must be clear with your broker that you want to be informed of all offers," McNeill says. "Otherwise, you may be leaving him to make decisions that you should be making." Check the listing agreement drawn up when you hire the broker; if the promise to disclose all offers isn't listed explicitly, insist that it be added. 4. "I talk about you behind your back." You spot your dream house as you're driving through a neighborhood and call the broker listed on the For Sale sign. That's how a lot of buyers stumble on a broker — who, in turn, happily shows you other houses, asking about your needs, laughing at your jokes. It's easy to get loose-lipped and forget whom you're dealing with: someone else's agent. "Legally, brokers are obligated to provide their sellers with any information that can help them get the best prices for their homes," says Stephen Israel, president of Buyer's Edge, a Bethesda, Md.-based company that represents homebuyers. "If you tell the broker that you're willing to pay $500,000 but want to offer $450,000, they'll pass that on to the seller. They have to." Also, some brokerage companies encourage prospective buyers to get preapproved for loans. While that can make a buyer more attractive to a lender, it also tells a broker whether a buyer can afford a $600,000 house when he's trying to haggle on a $400,000 property. "When somebody asks for [a preapproval], find out who they're representing," says Israel, acknowledging that such details can short-circuit your negotiating leverage. "If they represent a seller — or someone in their office does — they shouldn't have it. The broker may tell you she will be impartial, but how can she be?" 5. "Sometimes I forget whose side I'm on." The past 10 years have seen the proliferation of the buyer broker, agents who are supposed to work strictly in the buyer's interest, helping him get a fair price on a home as well as avoid pitfalls along the way. Unfortunately, things don't always unfold so nicely. While buyers may think they're getting a broker who isn't commission-hungry, many buyer agents are just that: They usually get about 3%, the same amount any broker typically earns when he gets involved with another agent's listing. "Buyer brokers are sometimes too focused on closing the sale and getting that commission," says Max Gordon, an Overland Park, Kan.-based real estate broker and attorney, so it's often in their best interest to see you pay as high a price as possible. Even worse, some brokers who call themselves buyer advocates are actually working for companies that also represent sellers. "Brokerages offer bonuses to buyer agents if they sell an in-house listing," says Israel. A good way to get a broker who has no such conflicts of interest: The National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents, whose Web site (www.naeba.com) can help you find a buyer agent near you who pledges to help you get the best deal possible and has no ties to sellers' agents; many even work on a fee structure rather than on commission.

If you are a smart investor, I'm going to bet you wouldn't. If you are just beginning as an investor and need information, how are you going to get it and how much are you going to pay? THE SAME CONCEPT APPLIES! You can easily get a basic understanding of the stages of foreclosure, how to purchase property at each stage of the process and ways to obtain financing for your purchase for free or at a very nominal cost. Libraries, bookstores and many websites all offer free or low cost information. Obtain the basic information, read it once, then continue reading it until you KNOW all the material. Your success is not going to be handed to you, you have to become an authority on the investment approach you choose. The confidence and knowledge you will obtain are essential keys to success. No seminar or course costing hundreds or thousands of dollars will put the confidence and knowledge in your mind, YOU have to make the decision and effort to get it there. THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS! Seminars Books and Courses Cash Investors Personal Counselors Recommendations Avoiding Scams Seminars An easy way to spend a lot of money. The personal motivation inspired by the speaker will always last long enough to provide you time to buy the books or courses. If you are truly motivated to become an investor, you don't need a seminar. On a positive note, if you are an active investor and have already bought a course to increase your knowledge, a seminar is one way to allow the author or presenter to expand on their printed material. TOP Books and Courses Available at Libraries, Bookstores and Websites. Balance the cost against the information presented. You can't really argue the benefits of a twenty dollar book against a seventy dollar book, both undoubtedly have good points and bad points. Try to find the most appropriate information for your situation at a reasonable price. Courses costing hundreds of dollars or more should not be purchased by a new investor. When you have the basics down solid and want additional information or specialized information, then consider additional courses. Remember, your success will not be determined by the size of your library, but by your motivation and knowledge. TOP Cash Investors Take our course, we'll back you up financially! Great sales pitch and I'm sure it would happen if the property could be purchased cheap enough, but anyone can find a cash investor. The hardest part is finding the property. You don't know any cash investors? Look in your local Yellow Pages under Real Estate Loans. Look for ads that say "All Credit" or "Any Credit", typically these are hard money lenders(cash lenders) who have investment money. Can't find any? Look in your local newspaper for real estate ads saying "We Buy Houses", these will often be cash investors. Still can't find any? Look in your local legal newspaper for Notices of Sale. A location will be listed where properties in foreclosure are going to be auctioned off. Go to the location at the time specified and talk to the investors who show up. These are investors used to dealing with properties in foreclosure, find out their requirements, get phone numbers and you are all set. TOP Personal Counselors Sign up with us and we'll provide one-on-one help for as long as you need it. Oh, I'm sure they have experienced investors just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. There are newsgroups where you can have your questions answered, but your best source of help is going to be investment clubs. Clubs are comprised of local investors who will share information and resources with you. They will have a good grasp on area values and should be able to help you more than anyone else. Plus, if you haven't found a cash investor yet, this is a good place to find one or get referred to one. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Clubs","Associations","Real Estate" or various web sites have lists. TOP Recommendations Take a deep breath, relax and plan your success. You'll need information, resources and knowledge. Find a local investment club, ask where and when they meet, go to all the meetings, absorb everything you can and make contacts. Evaluate the books and information you have seen, pick a source and start reading. Follow the web site discussion groups, print articles that have resources or solid information and save them. Read all the articles you can find on different web pages, it will add to your knowledge. Consider completing a Real Estate Licensing Program Many established real estate companies provide subsidized Real Estate Licensing School. If you do not have a background in real estate, this is a fairly inexpensive way to get an education regarding the technical processes involved, what is necessary to sell a home plus all sorts of additional knowledge. Many companies charge a higher fee if you do not get your license and work for their company, so be sure to shop, an independent school might be cheaper. Look in the Yellow Pages under Real Estate Schools. Keep in mind that if you actually obtain your real estate license, you have different legal considerations than if you are unlicensed. Even if you don't actively sell property full-time, when licensed, you are considered a real estate professional. Go to Open Houses Every weekend houses are held open by Realtors. Go to all the open houses in your area every weekend. You'll learn what sells, what doesn't, what the price ranges are in different areas and start to build a knowledge base of property in your area. It takes gasoline and time, but it's the best way to get a feel for what values are in a given area. Build your Resource File Organize your information and file it. Individual properties will come and go, but six months from now, you don't want to find a property that suits a cash investor's requirements and discover that you cannot find the investor's phone number. Or you were supposed to check back with a property owner this week, but you can't find the paperwork and don't remember the address. The only way to keep track of everything is to have organized files that you use. Understand it doesn't happen overnight. Honestly, the first few times you try to put a transaction together, I would expect problems. It's part of the education process. As long as you don't make the same mistakes again, you'll only get better at what you do. Education is the first big hurdle, the second one is experience, and there's only one way to get that. To just do it. TOP When everything is looked at, MOTIVATION is the base for all of it. You have to be motivated to get the education, you have to be motivated to get the experience and you especially have to be motivated to keep on doing it through the times where nothing seems to be going right. ARE YOU MOTIVATED?
