New development at Lake Mabprachan?

I was driving to Lake Mabprachan this morning and nearly crashed the truck with surprise as I saw yet another large tract of land being cleared for obvious development.

I won't guess at the size of the land ... but it was significant.

I am presuming that this will be a housing development ... most possibly by a large Bangkok developer.

Pattaya is becoming very popular with Bangkok Thais looking for a second home.

I will keep my eyes and ears open and let you know how it progresses!

Picking a Real Estate Agent that you can trust - a QUALIFIED agent

The most important thing when looking for a property is to find a trustworthy agent; an agent that has been in the business for a long time, an agent that is qualified, knows the market well and has a large database of available properties, and if possible an agent that has been recommended to you through your colleagues or friends.

You need to be honest with your agent and make sure the agent understands your needs and requirements and most importantly your budget. Tell them up front the maximum you can pay should you like something, so they can help you find what you are looking for without wasting your time and know what they have to work with. If you change your requirements, let them know.

There’s no need to see everything within your budget range, only what you require. A lot of times agents take you everywhere which only wastes your time and will cause you frustration. If you listen to too many people’s suggestions that can often lose sight of your requirement or budget and will become more confused as to why the agent hasn’t taken you to the right places.

If you feel the agent is not showing what you require, perhaps they don’t understand your needs OR you are not being realistic about your requirements and budget. Sometimes, your requirements and budget is just impossible. So, be realistic! Once you start your search you should have an idea of the possibility of getting what you want.

It is not advisable to look for property without an agent; you need an experienced person that the owner or landlord respects and trusts so you are safe. It’s important that the agents know the owner or landlord well so you won’t be stuck with “The owner from hell”.  Sometimes, the properties are great BUT the owner or landlord is difficult to deal with. Your agent must know this and keep you away from these people or they need to be there to help you deal with them throughout the negotiations. A lot of times, you are left to deal with the problems on our own. You should be able to call your agent and ask for their help anytime.

A trust worthy agent will help you with negotiations, make sure that you have a fair purchase or lease agreement and be there when you need help during closing or the lease term. You need to trust that your agent knows what they are talking about, listen to their suggestions as they know the market and how they can go about getting what you require. If they have a good relationship with the owner or landlord, it makes it easier for them to negotiate for you.

If you’d like to know more about this or have any questions that I can answer OR if I can help you with finding the perfect home, please contact me at robert@fivestarvillasandcondos.com.

6 Tips for Selling your Property FAST

In a declining real estate market where supply outstrips demand, a person can generally sell a property faster by lowering the price. But there are other ways to enhance a property’s attractiveness besides lowering the asking price. If you’re looking to sell your property in a cooling real estate market, read on for some tips on how to generate interest and get the best price possible.

Differentiate From the Neighbors

In order to attract attention and to make your property more memorable, consider custom designs or additions, such as landscaping, high-grade windows or a new roof. This can help improve the house’s aesthetics, while potentially adding value to the property. Any improvements should be practical and use colors and designs that will appeal to the widest audience. In addition, they should complement the property and its other amenities, such as building a deck or patio adjacent to an outdoor swimming pool.

However, while it can pay to spice up your property, don’t over-improve it. According to a 2013 article in Realtor Magazine, some renovations, such as adding a bathroom or putting new shingles on a roof, might not always pay. The data suggests that in the USA the nationwide average amount recouped for a bathroom remodel is about 58%. For a new roof, it’s even less. If you’re going to invest in property improvements, do your research and be sure to put your money into the things that are likely to get you the best return. In addition, if you have added any custom features that you think buyers will be interested in, make sure they are included in the home’s listing information. More than ever, in a down market you should take every small edge you can get.

Clear the Clutter

It is imperative to remove all clutter from the property before showing it to potential buyers because buyers need to be able to picture themselves in the space. This might include removing some furniture to make rooms look bigger, and putting away family photographs and personal items. You may even want to ask your qualified real estate broker to give you some tips on staging your property to help you make better use of the space. Many people feel that staging the property can make a home more salable, so this deserves some consideration.

Sweeten the Deal

Another way to make the property and the deal more attractive to buyers is to offer things or terms that might sweeten the pot. For example, sellers that offer to pay the property transfer costs entirely will in some cases receive more attention from property hunters looking at similar homes. In a down market, buyers are looking for a deal, so do your best to make them feel they are getting one.

Finally, it’s important to note that some buyers are motivated by the option to close in a short amount of time. If it is possible for you to close on the home within 30 to 60 days, this may set your deal apart and get you a contract.

Improve Curb Appeal

Sellers often overlook the importance of their property’s curb appeal. The first thing a buyer sees is a property’s external appearance and the way it fits into the surrounding neighborhood. Try to make certain that the exterior has a fresh coat of paint, and that the bushes and lawn are well manicured. In real estate, appearances mean a lot. What better way to set your home apart than to make it attractive at first glance?

Get Your Home in “Move In” Condition

Aesthetics are important, but it’s also important that doors, appliances and electrical and plumbing fixtures be in compliance with current building codes and in working order. Again, the idea is to have the home in move in condition and to give potential buyers the impression that they will be able to move right in and start enjoying their new home, rather than spending time and money fixing it up.

Pricing It Right

Regardless of how well you renovate and stage your home, it is still important to price the home appropriately. Consult a qualified real estate to see what comparable homes are going for in your area.

It’s not always imperative to be the lowest priced property on the block or in the condo building, particularly when aesthetic and other significant improvements have been made. However, it is important that the listing price is not out of line with other comparable properties in the market. Try to put yourself in the buyer’s shoes and then determine what a fair price might be. Have friends, neighbors and your qualified real estate broker tour the home and comment as well.

The Bottom Line

Selling a property in a down market requires a little extra work. Do everything you can to get the property in excellent shape and be prepared to make some small concessions when closing the deal. These tips, coupled with an attractive price, will increase the odds of getting your property sold.

And Please Remember

Only use a qualified real estate broker!
