#1 Home Builder Complaint

May 23, 2018 by Lance Mohr

This is the #1 home builder complaints I have heard over the past 20+ years from new home builder reps. Do NOT make this buyer mistake.

Please leave a comment and let me know what builder complaints you have.

Transcription
Hi everyone! This is your Tampa Bay Realtor Lance Mohr. In this video I’m going to go over the number one complaint by virtually all new homes sales representatives and why you need to know this. Where you could lose the home you and your family want. I’m going to go over that in this short video.

Now this number one complaint. I’m going to tell you. I’ve been in the business for over 20 years and I sell a ton of new homes and this complaint is told to me by virtually every new home representative I ever talked to and I don’t talk to them just on business level when I’m in their home. A lot of time they’re friends of mine. I’ll go up to dinner with them. I’ll go up to lunch with them etc. and we just talk about what problems they are having is.

What the problems the builders having and the number one complaint that they say over and over again is when he real estate agent the buyer comes into the home and the buyer finds a home they really like. A lot of time the realtor is like okay let’s go, let’s go we got four more homes to look at. We got to go at them. We have appointments. Now if you like the home. If you go into a builder with your real estate agent. You need to stay focused on what you like because if you like that home and then I’ll let’s say you walk out the door and you go to your appointments and they all turn out to be duds.

Then another buyer could actually walk in and buy the home or buy the lot you like or maybe buy one next door but it’s the same floor plan with the same elevation or maybe it has the same color scheme which means you’re not going to get that floor plan with that elevation or you’re not going to get that color scheme. So I would just tell you a real estate agent. I understand as an agent we’re on time schedule and we want to adhere to that time schedule.

That’s why a lot of times when I’m pretty much all the time when I’m working buyer. If we’re looking at 3 owned home and new homes. I’m always trying to see the new homes last because I don’t know how long it’s going to take. You know, we could see four pre-owned homes and we could be done with those in an hour to an hour and a half but if we go out to a builder’s hone and the buyer likes that builder. They like the floor plan we’re talking about it. It could take an hour. It could take two hours because you’re going to have a lot of questions.

You’re going to want to go look at the lot. You’re going to want to see what’s included. You hopefully have a real estate agent that’s educating you along the way. So just make sure if you’re working with a real estate agent and you’re looking at pre-owned homes, you’re looking at new homes. The safest bet is just to look at the pre owns first. Look at the new homes last. So you don’t have your real estate agent saying he come on we got to go, we got to look at four or more homes or five or more homes or whatever it is.

So I hope this helps you. I do these videos for you. If you have any questions whatsoever don’t hesitate. Leave them in the comments. I’d like to do a video about it or answer your question. If you’re in the Tampa Bay are I would love to help you. I’d love to work with you. I wish you the best of luck have a wonderful day.

Does Selling By Owner Save Money? Considerations to Keep in Mind

November 7, 2008 by Lance Mohr

Before making the decision to go it alone and sell your Tampa, Florida home or condo “by owner” it is a good idea to take a look at how real estate agents in Tampa are paid. Typically, when listing your home with a Tampa agent a commission is agreed upon and put into the contract. For many years the majority of agents used a 6 or 7 percent structure but now there is a wide variety of fee’s depending upon who you list with but for the sake of this example, let’s assume you go with a traditional listing and a 6% fee. To keep the numbers easy, let’s further assume homes in your area are selling for $200,000. You sign the contract and agree to pay 6% if it sells.

Superficially, 6% of $200,000 sounds pretty good; after all, that is $12,000 for placing a few signs on the property right? Not so fast! There are actually two major considerations to keep in mind:

1. Quality of Service

2. Splitting of Fees

Quality of Service. Here is where many sellers get into trouble and where many agents earn a bad reputation. Some agents do little more than solicit listings – in fact, they list as many as they can but then do nothing more to sell your home. They just hope someone else brings a buyer so they can collect their portion of the sale. It’s strictly a numbers game for them…list as many homes as possible then take their share when/if the home sell. Because they list so many, they can make a handsome profit…and they will often tell a prospective seller anything they want to hear just to get the listing! They figure the seller will eventually drop the price to snag a buyer and they get their commission without doing any additional work.

To protect yourself remember one thing–ASKING AINT GETTING. Don’t believe everyone simply because an agent gives you a selling price that that sounds good. Demand comparisons of recently SOLD properties in the area – not just other listings. Next – Demand copies of the agents track record…how many of their listings did THEY sell?

Splitting of Fees. The next major area to consider before deciding to sell a home on your own is how fees are split. It works like this…The listing agent and his broker…the one you just signed an agreement with… only get the entire 6% if they list and sell the house. Often someone else drives by or another realtor has a client searching for a home in that area and bring a buyer…if another agent brings a buyer then the listing agent/broker get 3% and the selling agent/broker get 3%…. they split it.

Okay, closely related to this is the decision to use a full service versus a discount agency where you might pay less than 6% or 7% commission. Since many fees are actually split [and then split again since the salesperson splits their half with their broker] a property with only a 4% commission structure might NOT be a good idea. Other agents will be less inclined to show your property due to lower commission structures.  What might seem like a good idea can quickly become more costly if they pass your property by in favor of one with higher commission rates. Be sure to consider the advantages and disadvantages carefully.
