Top 10 real estate posts of the day for 3/12/2010

Here is today’s list of top real estate posts of the day.

1) Three Geniuses Walk Into a Bar… – Three respected individuals in the industry answering a series of questions in 10 words or less (sometimes).

2) FHA Flips for Flipped Homes (Some Restrictions Apply) – The FHA 90-day no flip rule was suspended for a year in February. There are restrictions though.

3) 5 Secrets To Success When Getting a Mortgage – Here are five things that seem so obvious to us for people who are in the process of buying a house. Then thinking about the last year I think I had someone who broke all five of these rules.

4) 1,000,000 Real Estate Agents Have Got IT All Wrong – Very interesting take on agents and how they do and should be using the internet and their website.

5) In Just 50 Days Your Home Will be Worth $8000 Less! – Going into last November I would have agreed with there, there were a flood of people looking to take advantage of the first-time home buyer tax credit. I just do not see the same wave of people this time.

6) Realtors Top Marketing Preferences – My favorite part of this may be how little agents think of Youtube. There were some surprising answers, but the one thing I agree with, referrals are still the king.

7) Paying More Than Asking Price For Your Home – In today’s market sometimes you are going to need to go over asking price to get what you want. That doesn’t mean you are overpaying.

8) Reclaiming my “rookie” enthusiasm…. – This is a great post that showed up in my RSS reader yesterday. I didn’t realize at the time it was a year old, but it is still worth posting as a top post of the day.

9) Impacting Home Values Is the Real Estate Industry Heroes or Villains? (Video Blog) – As agents we impact the value of the home through pricing and how we market the home. We also effect the future value of other homes in the area.

10) Treating Buyers the way Greg Swann treats sellers…and Cheryl Johnson treats agents in her office. – This is a very interesting tool that any brokerage could use that would save both time and money for the agents and their buyer clients.
