Most people when they think of auctions only think of distressed or foreclosure auctions. But selling a luxury home by auction can be an effective strategy. If you can have multiple interested, buyers in the room together, you can really create a buzz and a bidding war.

Join Staci, Jill and I as we discuss using auctions as a strategy to sell a home quickly, with limited contingencies and creatively by using an auction.

One important trait that a good agent needs is a spine. I cant stand when my agents say the other agent or a customer is putting pressure on them.

I say do not let anybody put pressure on you, you out pressure on them.

Do not let anybody make demands on you, you make demands on them.

You have to take control of the situation.

You have to be able to say NO!

We had an offer that was gobbly gook. The Buyer’s name was entered where the Seller’s name should be. The Seller’s name was entered where the Buyer’s name should be.

There where cross outs EVERYWHERE. I could not tell what the price being offered was.

And the agent refused to clean it up and wanted a response, on Sunday at 9:00 at night!!!

I told my agent to tell the Buyer’s agent that the offer was rejected and to come back with a clean offer.

In Florida, real estate teams or groups must adhere to specific advertising regulations outlined in Florida Administrative Code Rule 61J2-10.026. Key requirements include:​

• Brokerage Supervision: All team members must operate under the supervision of the same registered broker or brokerage.

• Designation of Responsibility: Each team must appoint a designated licensee responsible for ensuring the team's advertising complies with Chapter 475 of the Florida Statutes and Division 61J2 of the Florida Administrative Code.

• Monthly Member Records: The registered broker is required to maintain an up-to-date written record of all team members, updated at least monthly. ​

• Naming Restrictions: Team names may include "team" or "group" but must not contain terms that suggest the team is a separate real estate brokerage or company, such as:​

• Agency​
• Associates​
• Brokerage​
• Brokers
• Company​
• Corporation
• Corp.​
• Inc.​
• LLC​
• LP, LLP, or Partnership​
• Properties​
• Property​
• Real Estate​
• Realty​

This is to prevent any implication that the team operates independently of the brokerage.

• Advertising Display: In all advertisements, the team name must not appear in larger print than the name or logo of the registered brokerage. This ensures that the brokerage's identity is prominent and clear to the public. ​

These rules are designed to maintain transparency and prevent consumer confusion regarding the relationship between real estate teams and their supervising brokerages.​

When making a price drop on your listing, there is much more than just changing the price in the MLS.

In this episode I talk about taking a strategic approach to get the most bang for your buck (or your Seller’s buck) when lowering the price.

A listing agent should approach this as if it is a new listing. And I discuss further in the show.

From reaching out to agents and buyers from previous showing, freshening up the listing with new descriptions and photos, and much more.

Separating yourself from an average agent to a great agent is in the details and follow up.

A Buyer called me asking about my listing.

He is asking about seller financing.
If he puts $50k down. Who would make the terms up? A lawyer?

Many times a seller can’t or won’t offer Seller financing and I explain more in this episode and answer the question regarding who makes up the terms.

I also explain what to do if The Seller would consider it. Hint: It is just like any other contract except that The Seller is also the lender.

So if you have a buyer asking if The Seller will offer financing tune in or share this episode to find out what to do next.

On today's episode of Real Estate Finder podcast, Staci asks Matthew "Is it possible to go old school on a transaction and sideline the technology for a buyer who isn't tech savvy?”

Everything in a transaction is streamlined to be so quick and easy via technology with Total Brokerage and electronic signature request and initials. How to incorporate a paper and pen customer into an electronic transaction can be tricky.

Join Matthew Maschler, Preston Smith and Staci Garcia as we talk about this and other issues Realtors have dealing with technology that is supposed to make our lives easier.

Lately I’ve attended various events that have had live auctions, silent auctions, and raffles and I wanted to talk about if it’s better to sell an item in an auction or via raffle.

So join me today on the podcast while we discuss everything about event auctions and raffles.
