A few things people should know about signing day, most importantly that the day didn't arrive overnight. Rather, a variety of factors that leads buyers to buy and sellers to sell.  1. Sellers usually sign a week prior to the buyers signing.  2. There's forms for both parties to complete for escrow prior to scheduling the final signings.    3. Sellers should always speak to their Real Estate Brokers when they get emails from title and escrow to avoid any potential scams.  4. A settlement statements lists the debits and credits for both buyers and sellers.  Smart clients hire smart Realtors® #sellerssigningday #realestatejourney #smartrealtors #homesellingtips #escrowessentials #avoidrealestatescams #settlementstatements #buyingandselling #realestateadvice #propertytransactions #realestate #bhhs #berkshirehathaway #veteran #veteranrealtor #bni

The past month has brought a host of successes for both my seller and buyer clientele. While the importance of timing and “feeling a spark” can’t be overstated in home sales, to achieve success, it’s integral to understand the needs of each client. Sellers seek a professional who will get top dollar for their property and won’t leave money on the table. They’re also usually looking to sell promptly and with little impact on their daily routines. Buyers appreciate a strong and savvy negotiator. They’re looking for someone they can trust to get the deal done. These are the attributes I bring to all my client relationships and to which I credit the most rewarding wins. #TrustedAdvisor #RealEstateExpertise #RealEstateExpertise #agentbosko #boskoskepanovic #00sell

Commission = Commitment to your goals. Most consumers do not understand commission structure or life as a commission only or commission based salesperson. commission is NOT guaranteed. commission is only earned at CLOSING! If there's no closing, there's no money. Sellers hire real estate agents to sell their home or property because they must sell in order to have money. Buyers hire real estate agents to help them acquire a home or property because they have financial or housing goals. These two needs require the deal to actually close in order to have respective goals achieved. Commission, in my opinion, is the best way to keep parties progressing and to successfully achieve a sold and closed transaction. what are your thoughts? comment down below, healthy debate is welcome. #nycagent #newyorkrealestate #nyc

This may be controversial but could it be that most people actually want real estate agents to be dishonest? If you’re a sales agent, you’ve probably lost listings to agents who are prepared to tell people their home is worth more than it really is. And if you’re a buyers agent, you’ve probably lost business to agents who are prepared to brag about getting access to 500 off market listings a year. And if you’re a buyer, you’ve probably invested money in building & pest inspections and contract reviews only to discover that the agent was underquoting by 30%. In all cases, even the most basic research could have revealed the truth of the matter. Whereas the silver bullet is so much more compelling. When the truth is inconvenient, many of us will actively avoid facing it.
