5k flat listing fee testimonial

 Wow Testimonial for 6-26-2021

I just sold a house for Tom and Marge at just shy of 1.2 Mil.  They saved almost $31,000 using my $5,000 flat fee listing.  Then I sold them an 805k house, they paid cash for.  So now, they have no payment and money in the bank.  Truly a winner on both ends.  Everybody tries to wait to predict the top of the market.  I say sell when you have huge, huge, huge equity!  

Marge just sent me this testimonial.  Very nice.  Big thanks Marge. 

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Geoff on the sale of our existing home and purchase of our new home. Geoff was always available to answer any questions we had and made our sale and purchase truly seamless. The fact that we were able to sell our home for a $5000 flat-fee commission only made the process more memorable.  Geoff’s knowledge of home inspections gave us additional confidence when purchasing our new home. We highly recommend Geoff to our family and friends whether they are looking to buy, sell or both!”

Neighbor kills deals with his Airbnb attitude!

 Neighbor kills deals with his Airbnb attitude!

I am selling a house today at 5507 E. Justine Road and noticed a bunch of signs on the neighbor’s gate and car at 5513 E. Justine Road, Phoenix 85254.  Here is his threat:

If an Investor turns this into an Airbnb, he will

  1. File a complaint with code enforcement to investigate use of property for short term rentals

  2. Will call the police for noise every time

  3. File a lawsuit in small claims court

  4. He will use social media to discourage renters

His name is Tom Himes and the creep doesn’t even own his own house.  He sold the house in 2017 and rented it back.  I think it’s hilarious on many levels;

  1. He is running an auto repair and sales operation from his home.  I am fairly certain that is not permitted.   

  2. He is a renter without disclosing the rental to Maricopa County.  If a rental is not registered with Maricopa County within 10 days, its $1,000 fine per day.

Unfortunately, his dumb behavior is scaring off families who may wish to live here.  They don’t want to live near such a person.  My advice, if you are interested in Airbnb, get a property on an acre without an HOA.  That way noise and cars are never an issue. 

If you need to buy or sell a home, see us at www.5kflatfeelisting.com.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Hard Money Lenders, do you need them, how do they work

 Hard Money Lenders, do you need them, how do they work

Hard Money Lenders are rich people who have decided to loan money on fix and flip projects.  It’s called hard money not because its hard to get the money but because its against a hard asset.  They are easy to find on google. You only use them for short term projects because the interest rates can be high.  Just like your credit card.  You would not use a HML for a long term rental. 

This video is designed in an hours’ time to show you everything you need to know to successfully interview, hire, use and refer a HML.  If you have any questions just call me. 

If you need to buy or sell a home, see us at www.5kflatfeelisting.com.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Mesa condo sees peaks and valleys since its birth

 Mesa condo sees peaks and valleys since its birth

I was just at 6601 E. University Drive #96 in Mesa doing a home inspection.  This unit is a 3/2/2 1,176 sqft.  

Wanted to tell you all the tale of its journey. 

2003 build sold for $114,000

2005 sold for $217,000 Smart Seller, sold when market was HIGH

2010 sold for $89,000 Smart Buyer, bought when market was LOW

2021 selling for $310,000 Smart Seller?  Maybe, let’s talk about it

The seller has owned the condo for 11 years.  It’s comp rents today are $1,895/month.  I estimate his PITI payment to be $519/month.  That’s a rough cash flow of $1,376/month.  After 11 years, it is possible that he has it almost paid off.  What would you do?  Sell at the high right now or keep forever as income?

That question can only be answered by your personal DNA and your personal situation.  This seller is obviously an older gentleman.  He is also the Realtor and had his card with picture in the unit.  Maybe his situation is that he is retiring and wants a lump of cash.  

Or maybe you keep it in your long-term portfolio for cash flow.  It all depends on your family need and situation.  Wouldn’t you love to be in this situation?  When your ready to put yourself in this situation, call me. 

If you need to buy or sell a home, see us at www.5kflatfeelisting.com.  We look forward to hearing from you.

5000 SQFT 1 bedroom house

 5000 sqft 1 bedroom house

I am trying to get this home under contract at 1.97Mil.  I think it will resell at 3.2Mil – 3.4Mil.  Should need between 300k – 500k to fix it.  One just sold in that neighborhood for 2.7Mil and it sold fast.  This is a Paradise Valley home with a Phoenix address.  It is basically right on the line. 

This is not going to be an easy deal because the owner is ailing and now single.  Moving after a lifetime of acquiring things is not remotely easy.  Plus our elderly don’t move fast to boot.  

Because the house is a 5,000 sqft 1 bedroom.  I will need to move a few walls, build a few bedrooms.  It basically needs to be converted from a weirdo house into a NON weirdo house.  

If you need to buy or sell a home, see us at www.5kflatfeelisting.com.  We look forward to hearing from you.
