Las Vegas Real Estate | Full Service Seller Representation For 4.95%

Las Vegas, Nevada — Do you have equity in your Las Vegas home and need to do a traditional sale? Your home may be worth more than you think. Why pay 6% to sell your home when you can get BETTER SERVICE, BETTER MARKETING and BETTER RESULTS for less?

The Myers Team with The Caliber Realty Group offers FULL SERVICE Real Estate for only 4.95%. (Short Sale services are FREE) There are NO hidden fees, NO junk fees, NO document fees, and NO tricks. Your home will be advertised all over the Internet with Photoshop Enhanced Professional Color Photography and a Virtual Tour.

The Myers Team has successfully sold over 500 Las Vegas homes. This includes both short sales and traditional sales. From January 2007 through December 2012, The Myers Team received national recognition for being Nevada’s #1 Short Sale Realtors.*

The Myers Team’s area of expertise is Seller Representation. A traditional sale is much different than a short sale. In a traditional sale, you need a Realtor who’s able to find a Buyer willing to pay the HIGHEST PRICE. This requires experience, and highly effective negotiation skills. After spending six years as Nevada’s #1 Short Sale Realtors, The Myers Team have a track record for being the best negotiators in the business.

While Real Estate fees are negotiable, most Brokers still think it’s acceptable to charge a 6% commission for selling your home, even though Las Vegas home values have considerably depreciated over the past few years. Additionally, many Brokers will charge you a “transaction fee” ON TOP of the commission (a.k.a. document fees, storage fees, compliance fees, etc.) and these junk fees can range from $400.00 to $700.00. The Myers Team will never charge you these ridiculous transactions fees.

4.95% Listings Include:
• Full Service Seller Representation

• Your property will be listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

• Photoshop Enhanced Color Photography on all listings.

• Our Internet marketing is the best in the business. Today’s Buyers are not driving around looking at “For Sale” signs. They are online, looking at sites like Realtor.com and Zillow. A good way to judge how effective we will be marketing your home is to review how we market ourselves and our business online. (If a Realtor can’t market themselves, how will they be able to market your home to Buyers?) To see how effective our marketing is, Google the following words: THE MYERS TEAM LAS VEGAS.

• Your listing will be advertised on virtually every major Real Estate Web Site (Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Craig’s List, You Tube and many others)

Why Pay 6% To Sell Your Las Vegas Home?

Las Vegas, NV — Why do so many Las Vegas Real Estate Brokers “Overcharge yet Under-deliver?” Why do they feel it’s reasonable to charge 6% to sell your home PLUS expect you to pay a “transaction fee” on top of the commission? What exactly are you getting for your money? How many times have you seen a “For Sale” sign in your neighborhood with an empty flyer box…empty for weeks or even months? Additionally, have you recently visited a Real Estate web site such as Realtor.com or Zillow, and wondered why the property photos are so bad? (i.e., blurry, poor lighting, kitchens showing dirty dishes in the sink, or, my personal favorite…a photo of the master bathroom which shows the Realtor in the mirror holding the camera, etc.)

Homeowners…YOU deserve better!!!

If all you’re looking for is a sign in your yard and an MLS entry, then ANY agent will do. When you need to trust an industry leader to get the job done, schedule a meeting with The Myers Team. Don’t trust the marketing of your home to a Realtor who relies on outdated and ineffective marketing strategies. Today’s home sellers demand more and deserve higher standards when working with a real estate professional.

Why use a Realtor who relies on fliers, a yard sign, and an “Open House” to attract buyers, when The Myers Team will market your home on the Internet to buyers all over the world? How is an “Open House” going to attract a buyer moving to Las Vegas from Toronto, New York or Hawaii? To sell homes for TOP DOLLAR in this market, your home needs exposure locally, nationally and internationally. An effective marketing plan must include a way for your home to be showcased visually on the top real estate web sites frequented by buyers. If 90% of today’s home buyers search for homes on the Internet, then THIS IS WHERE YOUR HOME NEEDS TO BE.

The Myers Team with The Caliber Realty Group is NOT a discount brokerage. The Myers Team offers FULL SERVICE Real Estate for only 4.95%. (Short Sale Services are FREE) There are NO hidden fees, NO junk fees, NO document fees, and NO tricks. Your home will be advertised all over the Internet with Photoshop Enhanced Professional Color Photography and a Virtual Tour. Las Vegas homeowners deserve a Realtor who understands the needs of a Seller in this frustrating market. That’s why The Myers Team has agreed to sell your non-short sale home for only 4.95%…WE GET IT.

Selling Your Home? Does Your Realtor Specialize in Seller Representation?

Las Vegas, Nevada — There are many Realtors out there. Who will do the best job for you? Representing a Seller in a real estate transaction involves much more than negotiating the highest sale price. Did you know that most real estate contracts are designed to protect the rights of a Buyer, NOT the Seller? Each state uses a different real estate contract, and each contract contains numerous safeguards allowing Buyers’ the ability to exit the contract without penalty. For example, in a Nevada Real Estate Contract, unless otherwise amended, the contract is contingent upon the Buyer’s ability to qualify for financing. This means that on day 29 of a 30 day escrow, after you’ve hired a moving truck and packed up all your belongings, etc., a Buyer can cancel and back out of the agreement without penalty if their financing falls through. How is this fair to a Seller and who’s going to protect the Seller’s rights to minimize the chances of something like this happening?

Seller representation requires much more than simply “finding a Buyer.” In order to properly represent a Seller, you need to find the RIGHT BUYER…meaning a Buyer who’s willing to pay the highest price AND who has the strongest financing (so the deal doesn’t fall apart.) Federal laws make this a difficult task. For example, if a Buyer offers to pay CASH for your home, you have the right to request written proof of the Buyer’s cash funds, (to ensure they have enough available cash to complete the purchase) however, if the Buyer is obtaining a loan, you are limited BY LAW, to the types of questions you’re allowed to ask.

For example, it’s a RESPA violation to ask a Buyer or their lender what a Buyer’s FICO score is. Why does this matter? What if the Buyer’s loan program requires a minimum FICO score of 640 to qualify, yet the Buyer (who put a list price offer on your home) has a FICO score of only 642? Credit scores can quickly drop for a variety of reasons. Do you really want to enter into contract with a Buyer whose credit score is so low, it could drop during the course of your 30 day escrow and they no longer qualify? Do you want to have all your belongings packed in a moving truck and get a call at the last minute informing you the Buyer’s financing fell through?

There are many things that can be done to protect a Seller. You need representation by a Realtor who understands the Seller’s rights. Additionally, you need a Realtor who will thoroughly research each prospective Buyer and do everything legally to ensure you’re entering into contract under the best terms. Additionally, there are many things that can go wrong in a real estate transaction. Whomever you choose to represent you, it’s important they have the experience, knowledge and ability to proactively represent you to get the deal closed.

The Myers Team offers FULL SERVICE Real Estate for only 4.95%. (Short sale services are FREE) They have sold over 500 homes in Las Vegas. The Myers Team with The Caliber Realty Group is NOT a discount brokerage. There are NO hidden fees, NO junk fees, NO document fees, and NO tricks.

Beware Of The Las Vegas Short Sale Buyback Program

Las Vegas, NV — One of the most common questions we’re asked is, “Can I stay in my home after the short sale is complete?” Many Realtors and even some Attorneys claim they can sell your home to an investor (i.e. Cash Buyer, Non-Profit Buyer etc.) who will allow you to “lease back” your home as “tenants” after the short sale is finalized…or even provide the opportunity to Buy It Back after three years. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of a program like this? Staying in your home could avoid the inconvenience of moving, moving expenses, etc. While this may seem like an intelligent solution, IS THERE A CATCH?

Many people are attracted to the idea of “staying in their home,” however, it’s important to research the facts to avoid spending money on programs that may not deliver as promised. Additionally, don’t get taken advantage of by someone who knows you may be emotionally attached to your home and wants to profit from your misfortune or convince you to pay for programs you may not even qualify for. For example, it wasn’t long ago that hundreds of thousands of Nevada homeowners wasted millions of dollars on loan modification programs that failed to deliver. In fact, almost everyone in Las Vegas has a friend who spent thousands to modify their mortgage, yet winded up losing their home to foreclosure instead. Before paying an Attorney or Realtor $2500 – $7500, for a program you may not qualify for, know the facts and do your research.

While laws have prohibited such occurrences from happening, an amendment was made to the Making Home Affordable Program that allows a Non-Profit Organization to buy a home, and then resell or lease the home back to the seller. Section 7.3 of Chapter 4 of the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA) provides the clause which allows a non-profit organization to buy and rent back as long as all other HAFA requirements are met. As with most things sounding, “too good to be true,” the devil is in the details. Here are a few things to research before considering a program like this:

1) The ability to participate in this program applies ONLY if you qualify for a HAFA short sale. Many people in Nevada DO NOT qualify for HAFA short sales. For example, if you purchased your home by obtaining an FHA or VA loan, you may not qualify for HAFA. Additionally, this program is SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE SERVICER AND INVESTOR. This means that “IF” you qualify for HAFA, your bank must still approve the sale to a non-profit organization. It is NOT a guarantee and is at the Servicer’s sole discretion. (Please refer to section 7.3 of Chapter Four of the Making Home Affordable Supplemental Directive 11-02: otherwise known as directive 1102)

2) Non-Owner Occupied Properties may not qualify for HAFA. Therefore, if you purchased your home as an investment, you may not be eligible for this program.

3) Ever wonder why a “non-profit organization” would be willing to purchase your home and allow you to lease it or buy it back after several years? If they’re a true “non-profit” organization, and cannot “earn a profit,” then what is their incentive? The answer has to do with rental income. Currently in Las Vegas, there is a very low inventory of properties for sale. This is due to a recent influx of CASH Buyers, and/or CASH Investor Hedge Fund Groups who are taking advantage of current market conditions and buying everything in sight. The majority of these CASH investors are not interested in “flipping” the properties. Instead, they’re looking to rent these homes for profit for the next 5-10 years. This has resulted in a record number of available rental properties in Nevada. Competition for tenants is fierce. Most investors are trying to rent these properties for top dollar, however, many are currently sitting vacant due to the large inventory of properties recently purchased by these investors. Did you know that if you sell your home to a “non-profit organization” with the intent of “Buying It Back” you will likely be asked to sign a 3 YEAR LEASE? Per HAFA guidelines, you must rent for a minimum three year term before they will allow you to buy the home back. Before you agree to sign a “three year lease” what will your rent payment be? Will the rent be competitive with other homes in your area? What if there are bigger homes with better upgrades available for less rent in your area? With so many rental homes available in this market, landlords are offering perks such as paying for lawn maintenance, gardener expenses, pool maintenance, etc. Will the person who buys your home expect YOU to pay these expenses? If something breaks, will they expect YOU to pay for repairs, etc.? With thousands of homes currently in escrow being purchased by CASH investors, what will happen to rental prices when these homes flood the market and the current rental inventory grows even bigger? Will rental prices drop? When you buy it back, how much of a down payment will be required? Do your research and make the best decision for you and your family.

Most importantly, whomever you hire to do your short sale (Realtor or Attorney), will they agree IN WRITING to refund your money if you don’t qualify for the “HAFA Buy It Back Program?” IF NOT, GET UP AND LEAVE! The decision to short sell your home is a business decision. You need to do what is best for your family. Staying in your home and possibly paying more than you should for rent could cost you a lot of money in the long run…money which could be saved to use as a down payment on your next home purchase.

The Myers Team with The Caliber Realty Group is nationally recognized as one of the most influential figures in Real Estate today. According to Myers Team owner, Bill Myers, “Surrendering a home worth half of what you owe is NOT a failure, it’s a business decision. A short sale is an opportunity for you and your family to take control and walk away free and clear. Nobody wants to lose their home; however, loan modification doesn’t work and there is no need to go down with a sinking ship. Homeowners need to know when to say enough is enough.”

Bill and Francoise Myers have helped hundreds of Las Vegas families avoid foreclosure. Myers said, “Sellers facing foreclosure must remember that banks are not looking out for you or your family. When you work with The Myers Team, our job is to get between you and the bank. We represent our clients, NOT the banks. It is our job to negotiate the best possible outcome. Ultimately, our job is to take away the stress, and make the transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible.”

Can I Rent Back My Home After A Short Sale?

Las Vegas, Nevada — One of the most common questions we’re asked is, “Can I stay in my home after the short sale is complete?” Many Realtors and even some Attorneys claim they can sell your home to an investor (i.e. Cash Buyer, Hedge Fund Buyer, etc.) who will allow you to remain in your home as tenants after the short sale is finalized. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of an opportunity like this? Staying in your home would avoid the inconvenience of moving, costly moving expenses, etc. This seems like an attractive solution, however, is it really an option? Is there a catch?

In a short sale, most banks will require the Seller to sign a notarized affidavit stating that the homeowner is “not allowed to rent back the home from the new owner(s).” The short sale approval letter is issued after the homeowner agrees to these terms in writing. Violating these terms may be construed as “fraud” by the Sellers lender and could result in litigation or even the reversal of the short sale.

While there may be some exceptions to this rule, most major banks, (i.e. Bank of America, Chase/JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Citi, Seterus, GMAC/Ocwen, Greentree, PNC, etc.) require this affidavit signed by the homeowner before granting short sale approval. There are some Buyers, Realtors and even Attorneys who may offer you the opportunity to rent back the home from the new owner(s) however, please be advised that this decision could result in serious consequences. Unfortunately, if something sounds too good to be true, it may be an advertising gimmick designed to get your money and take advantage of your bad situation. If you have any doubts, you should talk directly to your Bank and ask them if they will allow you to remain in your home as a tenant after your home is sold and the short sale is complete. If it is allowed, be sure to get something in writing, for your own protection.

Here is the actual verbiage contained in the short sale affidavit’s and/or short sale approval letters from several major banks:

BANK OF AMERICA
“The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the Buyers nor the Sellers nor their respective Brokers/Agents have any agreements written or oral that will permit the Seller or the Seller’s family member to remain in the property as renters or regain ownership of said property at any time after the execution of the Short Sale transaction. This includes if the seller is retaining a direct or indirect ownership or possessory interest in the property and/or has a formal or informal option to obtain such as interest in the future.”

WELLS FARGO
“Neither the Buyers, or Sellers, nor their Agents have any agreements written or implied that will allow the Seller to remain in the property as renters or regain ownership of said property at anytime after the execution of this Short Sale transaction.”

CHASE/JP MORGAN
“There is no agreement, whether oral, written, or implied, between the Seller and the Buyer and/or their respective agents that allows the Seller to remain in the property as a tenant or to regain ownership of the Property at any time after the consummation of this sale transaction.”

CITI
“There are no agreements, understandings or contracts between the Seller(s) and the Buyer(s) that the Seller(s) will remain in the Property as tenants or later obtain title or ownership of the Property, except that the Seller(s) are permitted to remain as tenants in the Property for a short term, as is common and customary in the market but no longer than ninety (90) days, in order to facilitate relocation.”

Nobody wants to lose their home; however, loan modification doesn’t work and there is no need to go down with a sinking ship. Homeowners need to know when to say enough is enough.”

Can I Stay In My Home After The Short Sale?

Las Vegas, Nevada — One of the most common questions we’re asked is, “Can I stay in my home after the short sale is complete?” Many Realtors and even some Attorneys claim they can sell your home to an investor (i.e. Cash Buyer, Hedge Fund Buyer, etc.) who will allow you to remain in your home as tenants after the short sale is finalized. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of an opportunity like this? Staying in your home would avoid the inconvenience of moving, costly moving expenses, etc. This seems like an attractive solution, however, is it really an option? Is there a catch?

In a short sale, most banks will require the Seller to sign a notarized affidavit stating that the homeowner is “not allowed to rent back the home from the new owner(s).” The short sale approval letter is issued after the homeowner agrees to these terms in writing. Violating these terms may be construed as “fraud” by the Sellers lender and could result in litigation or even the reversal of the short sale.

While there may be some exceptions to this rule, most major banks, (i.e. Bank of America, Chase/JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Citi, Seterus, GMAC/Ocwen, Greentree, PNC, etc.) require this affidavit signed by the homeowner before granting short sale approval. There are some Buyers, Realtors and even Attorneys who may offer you the opportunity to rent back the home from the new owner(s) however, please be advised that this decision could result in serious consequences. Unfortunately, if something sounds too good to be true, it may be an advertising gimmick designed to get your money and take advantage of your bad situation. If you have any doubts, you should talk directly to your Bank and ask them if they will allow you to remain in your home as a tenant after your home is sold and the short sale is complete. If it is allowed, be sure to get something in writing, for your own protection.

Here is the actual verbiage contained in the short sale affidavit’s and/or short sale approval letters from several major banks:

BANK OF AMERICA
“The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the Buyers nor the Sellers nor their respective Brokers/Agents have any agreements written or oral that will permit the Seller or the Seller’s family member to remain in the property as renters or regain ownership of said property at any time after the execution of the Short Sale transaction. This includes if the seller is retaining a direct or indirect ownership or possessory interest in the property and/or has a formal or informal option to obtain such as interest in the future.”

WELLS FARGO
“Neither the Buyers, or Sellers, nor their Agents have any agreements written or implied that will allow the Seller to remain in the property as renters or regain ownership of said property at anytime after the execution of this Short Sale transaction.”

CHASE/JP MORGAN
“There is no agreement, whether oral, written, or implied, between the Seller and the Buyer and/or their respective agents that allows the Seller to remain in the property as a tenant or to regain ownership of the Property at any time after the consummation of this sale transaction.”

CITI
“There are no agreements, understandings or contracts between the Seller(s) and the Buyer(s) that the Seller(s) will remain in the Property as tenants or later obtain title or ownership of the Property, except that the Seller(s) are permitted to remain as tenants in the Property for a short term, as is common and customary in the market but no longer than ninety (90) days, in order to facilitate relocation.”

Las Vegas Short Sale Experts

Myers Team Named Las Vegas Top Short Sale Realtors

Las Vegas, Nevada – How do you choose the right person to short sell your home? Should you hire the company with the most billboards around town, or the person with the most commercials on the radio or TV? Wouldn’t it make more sense to choose the Real Estate team who has successfully closed the most short sale transactions in Las Vegas?

A recent report named The Myers Team the #1 Short Sale Realtors in Nevada. Number one status was determined by actual short sale listings closed from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2012. According to the report, The Myers Team with the Caliber Realty Group has negotiated more short sale approvals and closed more short sale listing transactions than any non-lawyer affiliated Realtor or Broker in Las Vegas. Additionally, most of their clients in 2012 received full deficiency waivers from their lenders.

The Myers Team is nationally recognized as one of the most influential figures in Real Estate today. According to Myers Team owner, Bill Myers, “Surrendering a home worth half of what you owe is NOT a failure, it’s a business decision. A short sale is an opportunity for you and your family to take control and walk away free and clear. Nobody wants to lose their home; however, loan modification doesn’t work and there is no need to go down with a sinking ship. Homeowners need to know when to say enough is enough.”

In the distressed Las Vegas housing market, many Realtors and Attorneys are calling themselves short sale experts; however, what criterion constitutes an expert? A Realtor in Las Vegas can become a “Certified Short Sale Expert” by attending a one day class at the Board of Real Estate. The ability to be called an expert in any field should be based upon performance and consistent results; not based upon attending an afternoon seminar.” Myers added, “This would be the same as declaring yourself a ‘home run expert’ after attending a one-day baseball class yet never picking up a bat or actually hitting a ball.” The Myers Team has continually broken sales records, and when it comes to short sale transactions, they are considered by most experts to be industry leaders.
