Is there a good reason to hire a real estate agent instead of FSBO? #Justin #Thayer #Team #Thayer #Real #Estate #sales #Agent #vs #FISBO # Eugene #Oregon #Broker

Your attorney get paid if you loose you court case. Your doctor gets paid if you die. You probably have no idea you pay your insurance agent a commission. Accountants get paid even if they make costly errors. Your money manager takes a commission from you no matter how much money you loose. Appraisers take $900 from you to place the ultimate value on your home but where are they when you need to sell it. Even our close cousins the the mortgage industry get little grief about the amount of compensation you pay them. (They don't pay your application fee & appraisal if the loan fails)

 Real Estate brokers put in money, time, & risk litigation yet you pay us nothing unless there are proceeds from a sale. There is no other profession like it. 92% of Realtor's fail in under 2 years. (The Navy Seals buds school attrition rate is only 78%)

 The reason people don't get it is #1 we have more disclosure than any profession in the world. People tend to see commissions paid as money they are loosing instead of investing. The massive costs of advertising, insurance, MLS memberships & bi yearly education directly benefit the clients as an investment netting them more money. #2 Much of the public is confused on the difference between brokers & traditional salespeople. A broker has the same fiduciary responsibility as your doctor. You hire us to protect you & your money. A salesmen is hired to work against you to increase profits for the company who hires them. The only similarity is we are both paid commissions.

When Will Bank Foreclosurews ‘Normalize’? Team Thayer #realestate #investor #housing #market #news #oregon

With much of the talk surrounding the housing market centered on “normalization” or returning to its pre-crisis state, one metric which the market is watching is the distressed sales share—the share of REO and short sales that comprise total residential home sales. For February 2016, the distressed sales share declined by 2.9 percentage points over-the-year (and 0.4 percentage points over-the month) down to 11 percent, according to  data released by CoreLogic  on Thursday. At their peak in January 2009, distressed sales accounted for nearly one-third of all residential home sales (32.4 percent) but has been declining steadily since then. By comparison, the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was typically around 2 percent; CoreLogic estimates that if the current rate of year-over-year decline continues, the distressed sales share will reach the “normal” pre-crisis level in slightly more than two years. “Prior to the housing crash, the distressed share of total...

How Far Has the Economy Fallen in a Month? Team Thayer #realestate #housing #economic ##market #news #oregon

If the  May  Wall Street Journal  economist survey  is any indication, the economy is a lot worse off than it was as recently as a month ago. In the last three surveys conducted by the  Journal  in which economists are asked when they think the Federal Reserve  will next raise the federal funds target rate, the consensus answer has been June. In April’s survey, three-quarters of economists surveyed said they believe that a rate hike by the Fed will be announced at the next FOMC meeting on June 14 and 15. May’s survey told a different story, however. Less than a third (31 percent) out of the 70 economists surveyed said they believe the rate hike will take place in June; 21 percent said they believe it will take place in July. The same percentage of economists who believe that a June rate hike will take place (31 percent) said they think it will take place in September. What happened to the economy in the last month? A couple of setbacks—first,...
