I am planning on hosting a free Seminar pertaining to realestate in my local community?
What type of information would you want to know pertaining to real estate as a local citizen, i was thinking:
how to sell your home
what to look for when buying
local agents and lawyers
local home inspectors’
Rates
Is there anything else people would want to know and or learn about, this is my first seminar ~Thanks~
Hi! I am a Broker so I think I can help you. First of all, to have any successful seminar, you need to bring in some experts to discuss these topics. I local Broker might be glad to talk about the do’s and don’ts of buying a home. How to select a Bank or Lender and what explain what the didn’t programs, 3-5 Fix ARM, vs. 30 year fix etc. You can not discuss rates as that changed weekly and only a qualified mortgage Broker should discuss this. Second,focus on what people can do. Too much facts and money issues bores people. Talk about what sells a home and what causes it to bomb. What is curb appeal. Discuss how every house has a smell. Normal, but some people find them offensive. How to solve this. Pets vs.fresh paint and new carpets to sell home. How to get smoke smell out of house. Change of colors? How neutral is neutral? Does clutter ruin a sale and what to do? How to make your house look like a home that will sell. Things like that. Make is fun. Give people a chance to participate with their own good and bad stories. And tell everyone, never short yourself on a home inspection. That can make or break a sale and also give the buyer more to bargain with or peace of mind. Good luck. Marie D~ Start will a funny or horror story when you begin you lecture. People like that.
