The Real Estate Game


The Real Estate Game 09/08/2004 08:51 AM
Some of you have purchased homes before, so you know a bit about how the process works: Mortgage Approval, Appraisals, Surveys, Title Searches, Purchase Agreements, Stipulation Sheets, Closing, Whining, Bickering, Signing 1,000,000 pages, Moving, blah blah blah... Even though it's a scary thought when you first start, and you've probably heard enough horror stories to not want to go through the process, it's really not that bad. It's actually pretty easy if you take a little time and learn about it. It makes more sense than most college curricula, and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Literally anyone can play the game if they have a dedication to making things happen. This is an introduction to real estate investing using my 4 years of personal experience as a guide. While all of my experience has been on the U.S. side of the pond, I'm sure enough of this information will apply to everyone to make it worthwhile. (This was originally submitted as a diary at the other site)

Real Estate Commissions are Too Low


Real Estate Commissions are Too Low 06/22/2005 02:23 AM

People who sell $1 million condos often complain that paying a 6 percent standard (read "fixed by collusion" among realtors) commission is too much ($60,000 for what might only be a few days of work).  Economists who have studied the real estate market, however, find that in some ways the commission is too low because realtors don't work very hard to sell clients' houses compared to their personal houses.  In other words they sell a customer's house relatively cheap so that it will sell quickly rather than work for many weeks to get the best price and 6% of the extra.

Why haven't we seen anyone propose a commission structure that says the realtor gets a 25% commission... but only on the amount above the assessed value of the property?  Your typical $1 million NY or Boston apartment is assessed at maybe $850,000 and could be sold for that price with almost no effort in a few days so the commission paid on such a sale shouldn't be more than $1000.  If a realtor could sell the place for $1.2 million via clever marketing, however, she should be entitled to a fat commission.

Now she sells real estate in Los Angeles...On the flip side of lyrical fame, 16-year-old Brenda Spencer inspired another set of lyrics in 1979 -- the Boomtown Rats' haunting song "I Don't Like Mondays" -- which chronicled Spencer's slaying of eight school children and a principal at an elementary school near her San Diego, CA-area home. It's not an urban legend: Spencer told a reporter who called her during the 6 1/2 -hour siege that she opened fire because, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." Spencer reminds us today that schoolya rd shootings are not a new phenomenon. Now 42, Brenda is serving a 25-year sentence and is up for parole soon...

Let's get depressed two days in a row...  It is the 10th anniversary of the consumer Web.  We have very good mapping services both on- and off-line.  A wide variety of sites are visited by people from all over North America every day.  Yet when people want to sell a house they almost always are forced to pay 6% to a realtor, just as they did 30 years ago before all of this fancy computer technology was widespread.

Has anyone tried eBay House?  Why doesn't it work?
