How I Work for You When You Purchase Your Home or Investment Property

Buying A Home in Muskegon? I Can Help…

tammy_headshotHi, I’m Tammy Halterman, and if you’re looking for a new home – or your first home – now’s the time to buy. We’re in the middle of a historically unprecedented housing market shift, and if you’re a buyer, that’s good news for you.

My clients are my priority and I believe in true customer service.

In this challenging market, there are opportunities for buyers which may never come again. From HUD homes to larger properties, prices and mortgage rates are favorable to buyers like never before. Acting now could save you many thousands of dollars over the course of your home ownership, and I’d like to help you make the dream come true.

If you’re looking for the perfect home for your family, seeking investment or rental properties, looking for a HUD home, thinking about renovating a home to flip or just looking ahead, I can help. I have contacts with lenders and finance institutions, inspectors and contractors that can help you every step of the way.

I can help you find the perfect home for you and your family – and help you navigate your way smoothly through what may well be the most important (and largest) purchase you’ll ever make.

Success Strategies For Real Estate Agents in the Muskegon Market

1 Apr


1.    Expireds

The first week of July should be dedicated to prospecting the 'expired listings' in your marketplace. There is no other activity that will bring a greater return on the investment of your time and energy. The agents who dominate this category of business in July will have a great finish to the year and will start 2010 off right.

2.    Work on properly pricing your inventory.

Do whatever research is necessary to have a complete understanding of both future 'demand for' and future 'supply of' housing inventory in your market. Those two components of the 'Supply and Demand Curve' will be the best indicator of future pricing.

3.    Understand where interest is going and explain it to  every buyer.

Help each of your potential buyers make good decisions on the purchase of a home. Explain that, even though the PRICE still may be softening, the increase in mortgage rates will increase the COST of the home. When is the best time to purchase? Now…

4.    Put together all four presentation manuals.

There are four appointments we must master to be considered a great REALTOR. We should
have a separate presentation manual for each one:

  • Listing
  • Buyer Counseling
  • Price Reduction
  • Presentation of 'Offer to Purchase'
