livermore ca real estate news: salesman or humble servent?

My name is Steve Eveleth. My job is to help people with my experiences, knowledge in the real estate industry so they can make informative decisions in which they can get themselves positioned with one of the biggest financial stepping stones in their lives. Buying or selling a home! I am a licensed real estate broker in the East Bay Area of California. I do not consider myself in "sales" I think if you have to "sell" someone into buying or selling a home you are going about it the wrong way.Livermore ca real estate In fact I think if someone feels like you are trying to talk them into something they don’t want to do they may get down right offended! and remember first impressions are everything in this business. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Bottom line is this: chances are if a home buyer or seller is in contact with me they already know what i do. They already know how much my commissions are. More than likely they want to know if im going to do a good job for them with what they already are in contact with me for in the first place. yes real estate does take what’s called lead generation, which is finding the people who are looking to buy or sell. Now that is where the work for most agents begins, especially if your new in the business.......if you are "old" in the business chances are you have been in the real estate game for a long time. Many agents that have been around for a long time have established cliental already & 80% of their business is referrals. So to buyers & sellers im here to share, care & help you get the most from me with your real estate transaction. To agents out there that need help being successful im here for you ............when you focus on being the best you can be in the true interest of helping people the money part of it will naturally come on its own....I never could understand while people consider real estate a "sales" job.... steve eveleth livermore ca real estate agent top producer 2008

Livermore ca real estate agent real estate news

Current market conditions Steve Eveleth Blog 5/17/2009
Well the entry level market is certainly taking a turn toward a seller’s market that’s for sure. On average there are 3 to 5 preapproved buyers for every bank owned home that comes on the market in the East Bay area & central valleys. Reason for this is low prices, great rates & demand demand demand!! First time buyers make up a whopping 71% of all purchase since early 08. Remember how it was in the early 2000’s when everyone was buying up properties like crazy? Here is what’s similar & why that is happening again. Low rates, high prices & adjustable loans that allowed you to pay a portion of the interest letting you purchase way higher priced home because you had a low payment with a neg am loan. This combination sucked up the inventory like crazy Well check this out now: low rates & fixed loans & inventory getting sucked up like crazy, what makes this happen again is prices have come down now with fixed rate loans verses the adjustable loans making affordability the same. Its simple High prices with neg am loans, low prices with fixed rate loans equal same payment equals affordability gab!! We are simply creating a new foundation of buyers in solid 30yr fixed loans…….start seeing some price increases soon everyone….then the big: moving up “boom will start soon!! Where will you be positioned when it happens? http://www.steveshomesearch.com/ Steve Eveleth, my job is to get you into a home!
