In Texas recently, major real estate companies have begun to play hardball. The Federal Trade Commission charged a local realtors board with not playing fair with their competition, so clearly, major real estate companies see these cheaper alternatives as a threat. Not to be outdone, there are similar realtor boards in other states, such as Utah, Michigan and Colorado that have done the same thing. They are expecting a review by the FTC sooner rather than later.

The big difference between the way that things have always been done (through a realtor) and the way things are done now is all about availability of information. Many online sites that offer discount house or property listings don’t assist you outright in trying to figure out what points are or try to figure how much your closing costs are going to be, but they do provide the groundwork for how to figure all that out for yourself. They have primers detailing dirty tricks the bank might pull. They have FAQs about the basics of dealing in real estate. Essentially, they have all the information that a real estate agent is going to tell you on their sites so they don’t have to charge you extra.

The ongoing battle between online and “legitimate” full-service realtors is something that is going to be around for a long time. As long as there are self-motivated people who believe that they can do it themselves, online realtors will continue to thrive. The big question to ask yourself is how much do you know about the real estate business and how much responsibility are you willing to take on.

Let me give you some reasons why:

1.) When people are in default on their mortgage they have stopped making payments to the bank. So when you are negotiating with the seller or the bank, right up until the point when you buy, no-one is making the payments. They are losing money everyday and this gives you an advantage right of the bat. Lenders are under pressure to liquidate bad loans rather than take the property back

2.) Sellers in pre-foreclosure are some of the most motivated sellers you will find. Their world has been turned upside-down, they are about to lose their house, and their motivation is such that they just want out of the house and the bank off their back. They are likely to take a low ball offer.

3.) Buying a house in pre-foreclosure enables you to create unusually large equity increase. Recent economic uncertainty has caused a lot of foreclosures, and rising rates will cause more in coming years. By requesting the lender a discount of what is owed on their payoff, large equity can be created on houses that are totally “maxed out” with loans. This cannot be done on loans that are not in default and since you are buying the property at a lower price, your down payment and closing costs will be much less reducing your investment considerably.

Make no mistake about it; there are many ways to make real estate investing, but when you look at how easy pre-foreclosure makes it to buy houses cheap, it makes more sense.

Let me illustrate some of the several things sellers actually do to keep their homes from selling or better yet, keep buyers from wanting to see their home.

1. First they pay no attention to the market, statistics, trends and reality in a seller’s Market.
2. They insist on a set price and remain 90 to 180 days behind the market by refusing to reduce the price to a marketable level.
3. They provide a telephone number that nobody answers or has been disconnected.
4. Never leave the house when buyers want to see it. They stay so they can watch them closely.
5. Let the weeds grow high enough to hide the trash in the front yard. If buyers can’t see the trash they won’t know its there. Who cares about first impression?
6. Keep lots of clutter by the front door. If there is a lot of junk there the buyer will have to slow down and see the house.
7. Leave lots of dirt and dust on ledges and corners. It hides the deteriorated paint underneath.
8. Leave furniture facing in different directions and make sure that love seat is covering the hole in the wall. Trash is good, holes are bad.
9. Challenge the buyer. Let them guess what the room is for. Just because it has a closet doesn’t mean it’s a bedroom.
10. If it’s broken, they leave it. Let the buyer fix it if they want it fixed.
11. Leave the old appliances. They add character to the house. Especially if they don’t work. Save your money for the next house.
12. Leave store boxes in the hallway. The buyer does know they are moving, why hide it?
13. Tell their friends to keep their opinions to themselves. They are the sellers; they know better than everyone else what to do to sell their home.

Considering the tough market we are in, it is not always the reason why your home is not selling.
