dual representation with listing agent , the myth of any advantages by Steve Eveleth 925-487-2246

Once again it’s a hot sellers market. Multiple offers, above asking, little if any contingencies, lack of inventory and tons of buyers chasing the American dream and agents all with their hand out chasing the green! So along with this landscape, buyers are doing anything they can to get what they want. Many buyers are under the illusion that going straight to the listing agent is going to get them a better deal or get their offer accepted in a multiple offer situation. I’m here to explain that myth and in most cases many agent turn away this type of mentality from buyers and it actually is counterproductive if you have a good buyer’s agent by your side in getting your offer accepted! Now there are certainly dual representation situations that do close all the time. It’s all about each individual set of circumstances and how the listing agent handles it along with proper disclosure to all parties and the ability to generate palatable terms for all parties to make it work and close the deal. Bottom line is most good agents are not going to compromise their fiduciary duties with their relationship and integrity to their seller and compromise their license all for a chance to make a little more on commission for a buyer they have never seen or represented before that just came out of the woodwork in a hot market trying to get what they want! Here a video on the subject and reality of how a good agent handles a dual representation situation in a hot sellers market.

3097 Willow Pass Rd Concord California falls out but BOMK in record time! 7 offers total bid up with auction like mantality

I think I just set a record for an escrow fall out to back in contract, little less than 45 minutes and im not joking! Buyer emails me to let me know she needs to cancel because the property is not in the right school district (don’t even get me started on that but that was her excuse, there no excuse for checking on what school district a home is in after you've negotiated and have been in contract for 3 days on!!) What’s so crazy about this market is buyers are so use to getting outbid, rejected, writing offer after offer, paying way over asking bid after bid after bid that when they finally make the right moves and be as aggressive as they need to be and have a good agent that does everything right and everything lines up and they get it, they get cold feet, think they paid too much and don’t want it! Its like the chase of dating you finally get what you want and, well, you know!  So moving on, I send her the cancellation, talk with the sellers and they want to go back on market with an INCREASED price now so I say ok and email 6 of the previous agents who had offers in and two of them respond immediately. One get cocky and says well Steve looks like the highest price isn't always the best, before I could respond , another agent email comes in at full new asking price and says “we’ll take it”. So MLS is BOMK and right back to pending in about 45 minutes. Only downfall is the first go around was my buyer L booooooo oh well onward we go highs and lows of making those deals happen. Bottom line is sellers only lost about an hr of down time before we have an even better offer and back in contract. If I was one of those ego maniac agents I would pat myself on the back but the reality is that’s the kind of smoking hot market we continue to be in! Bam! http://www.580homesales.com/ Steve Eveleth 925-487-2246

3097 Willow Pass Rd hit hard with calls, showings, offers and cash. Still a hot entry level market without a doubt! By Steve Eveleth 580homesales.com

getting hit hard on this one, over 30 calls, emails and texts but only 1 offer in hand so far mysteriously showed up in my email last night and the agent never called to talk or show it, just submitted an offer lol....crazy. I emailed her back to ask her if her clients even saw the property and she still hasn't responded. Like im going to advise the sellers to accept that kind of offer situation, what are some agents thinking with this kind of practice? I has another guy call from Seattle wanting me to duel represent him with an offer site unseen, so I said let me get this straight, you want me to write an offer for you on my listing on a property you've never seen? He says of yes please i know I will like it and its only $250k its worth the chance, thats only 5 new bmw's????? lol really? Another gal calls and says her family member is an agent but its not really working out so she will use me for a hopeful strategy in getting the deal. And than all the agents running around and calling me to get any extra edge or useful info to stand out from the rest of the offers.....Its crazy how much money and desperation is out there in real estate right now, just plain nuts.

market still smokin hot for entry level listing prices by Steve Eveleth 925-487-2246

well i guess the market is a little more than "still hot" on the low priced listings. Put a home on last night in concord for even on a busy st needs alot of work, getting hammered ever since 20 minutes after putting it on the MLS at 9pm last night....oh boy this is ganna be a hot cake. The good news is the sellers will be happy , the bad news is all these poor agents doing all this footwork and all wanting it. I love all the excitement on these low priced deals but feel bad for all the agents doing the work and all their clients wanting a home. And then all these all cash investors, its unbelievable how much cash there is out there right now with investors and real estate, I think they have their own printing press at the federal reserve seriously. In a nutshell folks, the market is not cooling off unless you consider 2 offers instead of 20 cooling off......i predict a 10% gain this year in prices across the board in the desirable areas.http://www.580homesales.com/

2014 rolls out strong so far, market poised toward upward trends ahead by Steve Eveleth 925.487.2246

As we roll into the New Year, the Bay Area market is blazing full steam ahead. Lack of inventory, ready , able and willing buyers and investors strut their presence buying up properties as quick as they hit the market. This is especially true for the Livermore California market. With just 53 homes on the market today 1/12/2014, buyers and investors scramble to “get their piece of the pie” not blinking an eye as prices continue to climb on the upward trend. Livermore California seems to be a hot spot for many as its considered to be the “last stop” and most bang for your buck before you go over the hill East or closer inward West toward the San Francisco area where the medium price is an astounding $1.2 mil. If you’re looking for a nice place to land with a 10 year or more plan on a Livermore investment home or a long term home for you and your family, Livermore has much to offer and should most definitely be taken into consideration when shopping for a home in the East Bay!

Housing boom sets the stage for good times ahead in 2014 to 2020 by Steve Eveleth Livermore 925-487-2246

Word is we're headed for some good times in the next few years. From what they say we're headed for a "high tech gadget boom" with little bells and whistles that monitor everything from when the perfect time to harvest grapes for better wine to sensors on your pill bottles to let the doctors know if you've been taking your medication! All these little bells and whistles are supposedly make our lives more healthy, efficient and productive! Much of this technology has been around for a while but politics and capital issues kept it contained. On another note, there are going to be all kinds of cash flow overnight multi millionaires coming out of silicon valley from acquisition companies buying up small to med size start ups.....so get ready folks, good times ahead, save your cash, invest wisely, live lean and humble, appreciate what we have and give back as no matter how good times may be for many, there are always those less fortunate that are always in need :) Lets rock 2014 baby make it a GREAT year!
