Lightning brightens the sky

and provides a spectacular

display of Mother Nature’s

power. This awesome phenome-

non also causes more deaths and

property destruction in a typical

year than floods, hurricanes and

tornadoes combined.

Don’t underestimate the dangers

of lightning

The threat of lightning danger

can occur anytime, but the most

likely time for damaging thunder-

storms is June through August.

The early spring is also a vulnera-

ble period.

Scientifically speaking, light-

ning is the visible discharge of

electrical energy. It is often accom-

panied by thunder, which is a sonic

boom created by the same electri-

cal discharge.

This electrical energy seeks a

path to ground and that path can be

your home, a tree in your yard, or

even you! The key to your protec-

tion is diverting that discharge to a

grounding path away from people

and property.

A lightning protection system

has two objectives: Provide a

direct path for the lightning to fol-

low to the ground and prevent

destruction, damage, injury or

death as it travels that path.

Many of you are likely aware

of lightning rods. Contrary to typi-

cal references to these devices,

lightning rods do not attract light-

ning. They also cannot prevent

lightning from striking your home.

What they are designed to do is

provide that safe path to the

ground for the electrical current.

Rods are just one part of an effec-

tive lightning protection system. If

you’re serious about lightning pro-

tection, State Farm recommends

you have a qualified contractor

evaluate your home, explain the

many parts of a total system and

perform the installation.

While lightning’s first target

may be your house, there’s also a

need to protect the property inside

your home from the electrical

surges that accompany a lightning

strike. Surge protection devices

installed at the main electrical

panel or meter and at outlets serv-

ing electronics can often prevent

these sudden spikes in electrical

current from damaging TVs,

VCRs, computers and other expen-

sive electronic devices.

Personal safety first

Most importantly, protect

yourself. If lightning is present,

seek shelter inside an enclosed

building or vehicle, stay away

from electrical appliances and

avoid using the telephone. If you

cannot find shelter, stay close to

the ground in a low-lying area,

avoiding isolated trees, high

ground, bodies of water or large

open areas. If someone is injured,

administer first aid if you are qual-

ified to do so and call for emer-

gency help. You cannot be

“shocked” by someone who has

been hit by lighting.

For more information on this

and other safety issues related to

your home and family, please stop

by my office or visit

statefarm.com.

Buyers are far more discriminating, and alarge percentage of the homes listed for saledon’t sell the first time. It’s more critical thanever to learn what you need to know to avoidcostly seller mistakes in order to sell yourhome fast and for the most amount of money.”

THE 9 STEP SYSTEM TO GET YOUR HOME

SOLD FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

Selling your home is one of the most

important steps in your life. This 9 step

system will give you the tools you need

to maximize your profits, maintain control,

and reduce the stress that comes with the

home-selling process:

1. Know why you’re selling, and keep it to

yourself.

The reasons behind your decision to sell

affect everything from setting a price to

deciding how much time and money to invest

in getting your home ready for sale. What’s

more important to you: the money you walk

away with, or the length of time your property

is on the market? Different goals will dictate

different strategies.

However, don’t reveal your motivation to

anyone else or they may use it against you at

the negotiating table. When asked, simply say

that your housing needs have changed.

2. Do your homework before setting a price.

Settling on an offering price shouldn’t be done

lightly. Once you’ve set your price, you’ve told

buyers the absolute maximum they have

to pay for your home, but pricing too high is

as dangerous as pricing too low. Remember

that the average buyer is looking at 15-20

homes at the same time they are considering

yours. This means that they have a basis

of comparison, and if your home doesn’t

compare favorably with others in the price

range you’ve set, you won’t be taken seriously

by prospects or agents. As a result, your home

will sit on the market for a long time and,

knowing this, new buyers on the market will

think there must be something wrong with

your home.

3. Do your homework.

Find out what homes in your own and similar

neighborhoods have sold for in the past 6-12

months, and research what current homes are

listed for. That’s certainly how prospective

buyers will assess the worth of your home.

4. Find a good real estate agent to represent

your needs.

Nearly three-quarters of homeowners claim

that they wouldn’t use the same realtor who

sold their last home. Dissatisfaction boils

down to poor communication which results

in not enough feedback, lower pricing and

strained relations.

5. Maximize your home’s sales potential.

Each year, corporate North America spends

billions on product and packaging design.

Appearance is critical, and it would be foolish

to ignore this when selling your home.

You may not be able to change your home’s

location or floor plan, but you can do a lot to

improve its appearance. The look and feel

of your home generates a greater emotional

response than any other factor. Clean

like you’ve never cleaned before. Pick up,

straighten, unclutter, scrub, scour and dust.

Fix everything, no matter how insignificant it

may appear. Present your home to get a wow”

response from prospective buyers.

Allow the buyers to imagine themselves living

in your home The decision to buy a home is

based on emotion, not logic. Prospective

buyers want to try on your home just like they

would a new suit of clothes. If you follow them

around pointing out improvements or if your

decor is so different that it’s difficult for a buyer

to strip it away in his or her mind, you make it

difficult for them to feel comfortable enough to

imagine themselves an owner.

6. Make it easy for prospects to get

information on your home.

The prospects calling for information on your

home probably value their time as much

as you do. The last thing they want to be

subjected to is either a game of telephone tag

with an agent, or an unwanted sales pitch.

Make sure the ads your agent places for your

home are attached to a 24 hour prerecorded

hotline with a specific ID# or a MLS listing# for

your home which gives buyers access to

detailed information about your property day

or night 7 days a week without having to talk

to anyone. It’s been proven that 3 times as

many buyers call for information on your home

under this system. And remember, the more

buyers you have competing for your home

the better, because it sets up an auction-like

atmosphere that puts you in the driver’s seat.

7. Know your buyer.

In the negotiation process, your objective is to

control the pace and set the duration. What is

your buyer’s motivation? Does s/he need to

move quickly? Does s/he have enough money

to pay you your asking price? Knowing this

information gives you the upper hand in the

negotiation because you know how far you

can push to get what you want.

8. Make sure the contract is complete.

For your part as a seller, make sure you

disclose everything. Smart sellers proactively

go above and beyond the laws to disclose all

known defects to their buyers in writing. If the

buyer knows about a problem, s/he can’t

come back with a lawsuit later on.

Make sure all terms, costs and responsibilities

are spelled out in the contract of sale, and

resist the temptation to diverge from the

contract. For example, if the buyer requests a

move-in prior to closing, just say no. Now is

not the time to take any chances of the deal

falling through. Your agent can advise you on

this.

9. Don’t move out before you sell.

Studies have shown that it is more difficult to

sell a home that is vacant because it looks

forlorn, forgotten, simply not appealing. It

could even cost you thousands. If you move,

you’re also telling buyers that you have a new

home and are probably highly motivated

to sell fast. This, of course, will give them the

advantage at the negotiating table.

ON THE MARKET TIPS

TIP 1- Buying A home Is One Of The

Best Investments You Can Make! Home

equity remains the largest single savings

vehicle for most Canadians. In addition

to the tax incentives of home ownership,

and the ability to tap into your home

equity if the need arises, buying a home

is a wise and prudent investment for

most people.

TIP 2- It Is Very Important To Buy A

Home That Will Go Up In Value. Slow,

steady home appreciation has been the

rule over most of the nation’s history, and

many real estate investors became quite

wealthy in that environment. They did

so by very carefully analyzing the appre-

ciation potential of their investment, and

they invested for the long term. You

should too. Even if you plan on living in

your home just a few years, you will

want it to have gone up in value when

you put it back on the market.

TIP 3- Use A Buyers Agent. If you're

going to work with a real estate agent,

contract with a buyers agent. A buyers

agent has a duty to represent your inter-

ests, while the subagent represents the

seller's interests. The subagent, which has

been the traditional relationship between a

buyer and an agent, is ethically required

to disclose all relevant information (such

as the fact that you’ll be willing to raise

your offer if necessary) to the seller.

TIP 4- Choose Your Agent Wisely. If

you are using a real estate agent look for

one with experience in working with

buyers, with knowledge of the neighbor-

hood(s) you are considering, and who

Top 10 Home Buyers Tipsdoes not have a reputation for being

‘pushy’. The purchase of a home is a

serious long term commitment on your

part and a good agent will recognize that

buyers need time and patience so they

can satisfactorily sort out the myriad’s of

factors involved

in a purchase

decision.

TIP 5- Current

Home Prices Are

A Less Important

Con s i d e r a t i o n

Than Interest

Rates. Try to buy

and/or sell when

interest rates are

low. The amount

of mortgage you

can afford (and

thus the price of the home you will

cosider) will change as the interest rates

rise or fall. A certain asking price may

sound expensive to you, but at a lower

interest rate you might be able to afford

it. You may own several homes over your

lifetime, and the factors that will limit or

increase the value of the home you will

be selling will similarly affect the price

of its replacement. Since those factors

largely wash each other out, interest rates

remain the most important factor.

TIP 6- Always HaveAHome Inspection

Contingency In Your Offer and always

hire a professio-nal home inspector to

provide you a written report, along with

“ball park” estimates or ranges of repair

costs. If the inspection turns up prob-

lems that weren’t readily noticeable, you

can use it and the ball park estimates for

negotiating leverage to get the seller

to make the repairs or provide you a

commensurate price reduction.

TIP 7- Learn As Much As Possible

About The

Seller’s Circum-

stances. There

may be mutually

beneficial oppor-

tunities. For ex-

ample if you

might face diffi-

culty qualifying

for a big enough

mortgage, and the

seller is worried

about college

costs for his or her

sixth grader, then

maybe the seller might be interested in

accepting a second trust for part of the

purchase price if the interest rate is above

what they could otherwise earn and the

loan is paid off the summer before the

child’s freshman college year. From

your perspective the rate will likely be

less than you could get from a

traditional lender.

TIP 8- Research Your Mortgage Options

Well Before You Make An Offer. You

won’t have enough time in the five days

sellers normally allow to get all of your

paperwork together, determine the best

kind of mortgage, who is offering the

best rates etc. Consider getting a contin-

gent letter of approval for a loan, or an

actual loan commitment prior to making

an offer. The former is not actually a loan

commitment, but rather a contingent

approval for a loan up to a certain

amount. While it has relatively little

enforceable value, it nevertheless can

impress a seller, who might be more will-

ing to accept a lower offer because of the

perceived financial capabilities of the

seller. Its also possible to get approved

by a lender with a longer term “lock” on

the interest rate in order to protect you

from subsequent rate increa-ses. While

this should substantially increase your

negotiating leverage, keep in mind that

you pay more directly or indirectly for

the longer commitment, either in terms

of the rate and/or points.

TIP 9- Learn How To Negotiate Like A

Pro. There’s more money involved in this

negotiation than just about any other area

you’ll encounter. Even if you’re using a

buyer’s agent, you’re part of the team,

and you’ll have to make the ultimate

decisions about how much to offer and

how much to compromise on a counter

offer.

TIP 10- STUDY! The tips in this article

are only the beginning. You’ll need to

learn a lot more if you want to get the

best possible deal. Read as much as you

can on home buying, on negotiating, on

neighborhoods in your area that might fit

your needs, and on factors that impact

long term appreciation like schools,

infrastructure, major new business

expansions or closing etc. Keep copies of

everything you send the lender and

everything the lender sends you.
