How does MINTS affect real estate sales?
After more than 15 years as a licensed real estate seller in New York State, I have had the pleasure of helping homeowners sell their homes and potential buyers buy theirs. One of the main reasons, the choice of one, of which real estate professional, to hire, to represent them, is significant, and significant, is, quality agents, offer, the necessary and necessary degree, of constructive reasoning/ideas, emotional support, experience/expertise (in many relevant areas, such as listing price, staging, marketing plan, etc.) and to hold your hands, when needed, during the often stressful transaction process. While there are many factors involved, this article will attempt to briefly consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, how MINT, affect potential and actual sales.
1. Mortgage Availability, Ease, and Qualification: The largest percentage of those who buy a house depend on a mortgage, for part of the necessary financing. Before, one, must proceed, go, Search for house, you must secure, you will qualify, for the best possible mortgage and terms, by addressing your credit, debt, and financial reserves, necessary, to satisfy, a lender. Depending on the economy, the availability of these vehicles may differ, and the overall ease of the process often depends on using the best possible mortgage banker or broker to reduce potential stresses, etc.
two. Interest rate; interest (buyer/seller): We are currently experiencing historically low mortgage interest rates, which translates to being able to buy more homes with your own funds. However, it often also creates a buyer’s market, as more sellers become interested in buying a home of their own. One’s clients need to know and understand the advantages and disadvantages of a buyers’ and/or sellers’ market!
3. Needs; niche: Great agents discuss their clients’ needs and priorities, ahead of time, to understand which homes might make the most sense for the buyer! An agent must identify, for their client, which houses may fit into a particular niche, whether they are representing either the owner or the buyer, as their client!
Four. trends; taxes; weather: Have that discussion, with a client, in terms of current trends and what many buyers may be looking for! Take into account any considerations, the impacts and effects of real estate taxes on the overall process! To make the process easier, carefully review the approximate timeline and how long it might take for each component of the transaction process.
5. Strengths; solutions; system; sales plan / sale: Objectively identify the strengths and weaknesses of your client’s home and how it might affect your sale. What night will be a solution to certain challenges, such as staging, enhancing the curb-appeal, etc.? Thoroughly discuss the sales and marketing system, plan details and expectations, contingencies, and other factors that may impact the sale of the home!
When you know, understand, approach and use, the MINT, the process is usually made easier, and the results are better! When the owner and the professional work together, as a team, the process becomes much less stressful, etc.
