Let us help you maximize the price of your home.   Allow us to explain the top ten percentage principle concept of Real Estate sales to you.e market analysis or market evaluation sometimes called CMA.

Sellers should know that they pay no fee for Real Estate Services until the title is exchanged and the homes transaction has closed.

Real Estate sales and marketing should always be a combined effort between the homeowner or buyer and the Realtor they chose to work with.  In order to achieve their common goals, Realtors will coach and educate their clients and customers so everyone is on the same path to a successful sale. Sharing knowledge of current market conditions and motivation to act quickly is always the key.  There are many Reasons sellers should list with a Realtor and buyers should work with a Realtor.  Here are some of them:

  • Realtors are trained negotiators and can negotiate without conflict.
  • Realtors follow up and provide feedback.
  • We use professional advertizing techniques which is very effective.
  • We understand the sellers and buyers wants and needs.
  • We have qualified buyers waiting. We have access to a large inventory of listings.
  • Buyers & sellers have trust and faith in their Realtors professional ability.
  • Sellers will have less inconvenience and greater security and more time for themselves using the services of a Realtor.

Buyers confide in their Real Estate agent and feel comfortable sharing their feelings. They are quick to talk about their likes and dislikes to their agent. They don’t’ always feel that they can be so direct when speaking to a seller.

Real Estate Brokers and agents can ask personal questions in regard to financing. When a seller is trying to sell his home without the service of a Real Estate broker they may not feel comfortable asking the questions they should be asking.  The buyer may not feel comfortable answering those kinds of questions when speaking directly to the seller. Real Estate people can easily help buyers get pre approved by local direct lenders and Mortgage brokers or mortgage bankers. Real Estate Brokers can provide net proceeds to sellers. They can also give buyers approximate closing costs.

Some transactions can be complicated; Real Estate Brokers know how to solve many of the problems that may arise. You can rest assured your transaction will be handled with professional care and diligence.  Staten Island & Brooklyn home sellers and buyers have put their trust in our abilities for many years.  We produce positive results, please allow us to help you achieve your Real Estate goals.  A.T.

Arlene Trunzo Earns NAR Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification

Arlene Trunzo Earns NAR Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification
Buyers and Sellers Benefit from REALTOR® Expertise in Distressed Sales

Staten Island, New York , 11/30/09 — Arlene Trunzo with A.T. Real Estate Specialists LLC has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification. The National Association of REALTORS® offers the SFR certification to REALTORS® who want to help both buyers and sellers navigate these complicated transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows.

According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” transaction. REALTORS® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.

“As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS® believe that any family that loses its home to foreclosure is one family too many, but unfortunately, there are situations in which people just cannot afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a short sale results,” said 2009 NAR President Charles McMillan, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth. “Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers and benefit the larger community, as well, but it’s extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional like a REALTOR® who has earned the SFR certification for these kinds of purchases.”

The certification program includes training on how to qualify sellers for short sales, negotiate with lenders, protect buyers, and limit risk, and provides resources to help REALTORS® stay current on national and state-specific information as the market for these distressed properties evolves.
