Common Mistakes To Avoid When Listing FSBO Homes For Sale

If you are a first time FSBO home seller, you may be excited about the prospect of saving real estate agent fees, but nervous about making mistakes. While it's true that you have a great opportunity to save money by doing it yourself, there are a number of pitfalls. Learn how to avoid them so you can enjoy the process of selling your home

Here are five common mistakes to avoid so that your sale goes smoothly:

1. Not listing your home at the right price -- This may be one of the trickiest parts for home owners, but it is also a crucial element of selling your home. Of course you want to get top dollar for your home, but often homeowners have an inflated idea of what their home is really worth. On the other hand, unless you are 100 percent certain of your home's value, you may risk pricing it too low. Check what other homes for sale in your neighborhood are priced at, and consider hiring an appraiser to ensure you get this part of the process right.

2. Not listing your home in the right places -- We all know of the vast power, reach, and influence of the internet. Now is the time to harness it! Most potential home buyers (over 90 percent!) start their home search online. Make sure your listing is on all the big sites including the MLS. You'll sell your home faster if you add as much details as possible and be sure to use professional photos and a virtual tour. Most buyers skip right past any listings without pictures.

3. Trying to do everything yourself -- Doing the work of a real estate agent is a big job. Also taking on the work of a home appraiser, inspector, and marketing expert is inadvisable because 1) simply put, it is a LOT of work, and 2) it is highly unlikely you have all the knowledge of these experts. It takes more than one person to complete a home sale. From the mortgage broker to the real estate title company, you will work as a team to complete the sale. Your job is to make sure you have the best team possible. This means that while you may save money on real estate commissions, you will eventually have to spend money to hire certain professionals throughout the process.

4. Not pre-qualifying buyers -- Nothing can be more disappointing or frustrating than getting to the table with an interested buyer who actually can't afford your home. You can avoid this scenario altogether by checking that anyone wanting to make an offer on your home for sale has already met with a mortgage broker and been pre-approved for a mortgage.

5. Not having a network of trusted professionals -- Unlike a realtor with years in the business, you won't already have relationships with other professionals you can trust. You will need to trust certain aspects of the sale of your home to people you don't know. But don't be intimidated. Educate yourself on who can do the job for you, and who can be trusted to do it well. A real estate title company is one of the most beneficial professionals to have in your corner as they help make sure all your paperwork is in order, conduct a title search and provide title insurance, and oftentimes can even provide escrow, notary and impartial closing services.

Avoid these five common mistakes when listing FSBO homes for sale, and you'll set yourself up for a smooth, successful transaction.

Spain's Bankia to receive some rescue funds shortly: source

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Bankia , a large lender taken over by the state in May, will soon receive part of a promised 19 billion euros ($23.5 billion) capital injection via a European rescue, a spokeswoman for the economy ministry said on Thursday.

"The funds will be received shortly," the spokeswoman said.

The government pledged 19 billion euros in aid for Bankia, which is heavily exposed to Spain's imploded property market, when it took it over. Just weeks later, in June, the country asked Europe for up to 100 billion euros in aid for all of its troubled banks.

The spokeswoman said the government continues to negotiate with Brussels regarding how it may be able to compensate small investors who will be forced to take losses in their investments in Bankia and other banks that may receive rescue funds.

Spain's government is scheduled on August 24 to pass a series of laws to comply with conditions of the European rescue, including forming a "bad bank" that will take on toxic property assets from the banks, in order to sell them off.

As he tries to bring down Spain's high borrowing costs and avoid an international bailout like Greece, Portugal and Ireland, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has taken steps to clean up the country's banks and control spending by regional governments.

Before Spain has met all the conditions for aid for its banks, Europe has already made available 30 billion euros in emergency funds for the country's nationalized banks - Bankia, Catalunya Caixa, NovaGalicia and Banco de Valencia - but Spain has not formally requested specific aid up until now.

That means Spain can get urgent funds even while it works out the fine print with Brussels regarding the losses investors will have to take in rescued banks.

Retail investors are reckoned to hold some 30 billion euros in subordinated debt and stock in Spain's small and medium-sized banks, of which only a portion, that in rescued banks, will be subject to losses.

Many unsophisticated investors in Spain were sold preference shares in banks, which were presented as safe deposit-type investments. Bankia has 3.1 billion euros outstanding in preference shares, NovaGalicia 960 million and Catalunya Caixa 480 million.

Spain is negotiating with Brussels to have the preference shares converted into high-interest bonds that would allow investors to recover their losses over a number of years.

"I don't rule out that rescue funds for the banks could arrive in various phases," said a banking source who asked not to be named, noting this process could start even before the preference share issue is resolved.

A spokeswoman for Bankia said the bank did not know what the timeline is for receiving aid and said the lender does not have liquidity issues at this time.

Among the decrees the government is set to pass next week is one banning the sale of preference shares to non-professional investors.

Bankia shares have more than doubled in price since mid-July - after a steep plunge in May and July - despite warnings from the Spanish central bank that shareholders stand to lose in the rescue.

GNOME's Ambitious OS Adventure

With all the ongoing debate over desktop environments here in the Linux blogosphere, there's never any shortage of discussion of the GNOME project, even on an ordinary day. Last Tuesday, however, was no ordinary day -- at least, if a certain blog post was anything to go by. "The idea of GNOME OS has been around for a couple of years," wrote GNOME UX designer Allan Day in said post.

Branding & Career Tips from The Apple Experience | Business 2 ...

Carmine Gallo?s The Apple Experience offers a wealth of practical branding and career advice, whether you want to advance your career or build customer loyalty.

Subtitled, Secrets to Building Insanely Great Customer Loyalty, Carmine Gallo?s The Apple Experience is an engaging, anecdote-filled analysis of The Apple Stores, and how the customer loyalty they create builds-upon?and strengthens?Apple?s brand.

A revolutionary book for revolutionary times?

The Apple Experience is a revolutionary book for both businesses and their employees.

Published this April, it appears at a time when customer service is at an all-time low, and?perhaps not coincidentally?71% of employees in the United States are either not engaged or actively disengaged and emotionally disconnected from their workplaces.

The book is revolutionary because of the impact it can have on your career and your business if your responsibilities include delivering customer service during a time of social media transparency and the resulting customer empowerment.

The Apple Experience can play a revolutionary role in your career by inspiring you to refuse to settle for a job where your best impulses are muzzled, but to strive for a position which unleashes your best abilities, instincts, and passions.

Background

This is Carmine Gallo?s 3rd book about Apple Computer and Steve Jobs. Carmine Gallo is a respected Silicon Valley journalist and communications consultant.

His 2 previous Apple-themed books were The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs: How to be Insanely Great in Front of Any Audience and The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs: Insanely Different Principles for Breakthrough Success.

Why you need to read The Apple Experience

This isn?t just another book of branding theory and warmed-over case studies. It?s filled with detailed examples of how Apple manages to recruit and develop empathetic and passionate employees that strengthen its brand with every customer interaction.

• Part 1: Inspiring Your Internal Customer. The 7 chapters in Part 1 take you through the employee selection process, including the specific qualities that Apple looks for in terms of idealism, empathy, knowledge, teamwork, and motivation. In an age of impersonal ?personality tests,? I was surprised how intuitive and ?whole person? oriented the process is. Subtle cues and responses are used for insights into how individuals are likely to perform down the road in Apple?s team environment.
• Part II: Serving Your External Customer. This section is for you if your job responsibilities include training and motivating others. The surprise here was how a few easily-learned principles?like multi-tasking (dealing with multiple customers at one time)?can help individuals respond in ways that far beyond ?tact? and build tight emotional relationships. Numerous specific Apple best practices are described. Unfortunately, of course, that the vast majority of employees working for other firms have never been exposed to these techniques.
  
• Part III: Setting the Stage. The last 20 pages describe the details of the physical setting, and how it provides a stage for delivering insanely great customer service.

Throughout The Apple Experience, you?ll find quotes from Apple customers and employees, Twitter posts, and dozens of transcripts of actual sales encounters that have taken place in various Apple stores. The sales encounters bring the principles described to life in memorable ways.
In several cases, there are before & after-type reconstructed sales encounters, showing not only what happened, but what should have happened.

There?s also more than just Apple in this book; there are revealing references to other firms with a similar emphasis on customer service as well as stories that are all too familiar to those that frequently experience airline, hotel, or restaurant ?hospitality.?

The next time you encounter a frustrating customer service experience, ask yourself, Is this likely to happen in an Apple Store?

Reading The Apple Experience lessens the likelihood of bad customer experiences undermining your brand. It provides the inspiration and guidance you need to strengthen your career, build your brand, and increase customer loyalty.

What kind of experiences have you had in Apple Stores? Share your experiences, and what you learned from them, as comments, below.

For the past three years, more than $100 million has been invested in the complete transformation of The Jaloisie Plantation.? The result is a completely ?new? property: Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort.

As summer begins to slip away and just in time for winter and holiday travel stories, the total overhaul culminates this November.? Composed of 59 Luxury Villas, eight Luxury Beachfront Bungalows, 11 Luxury Sugar Mill Rooms, and a selection of private residences, Sugar Beach brings together Viceroy?s signature, provocative design and intuitive service and the heritage and stunning location of The Jalousie Plantation.? Its restaurants and bars feature the best in local flavors and ingredients combined with exciting Latin and Mediterranean twists.? Its Rainforest Spa highlights indigenous treatments and therapies ? whether through the signature Sulphur Seduction that harnesses the powers of the nearby Sulphur Springs or the island-grown natural ingredients.

Set within the volcanic rainforests of Val des Pitons, St. Lucia, the resort is embraced by the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Piton mountains, two of the most striking natural formations in the world.?? The destination is famous for diving, with a National Marine Reserve just steps off the beach and in the shadow of Petit Piton, where Superman II was filmed, and Gros Piton, a haven for turtles.?
