Foreclosures Affect Home Value

Foreclosure Listings Can Affect Home Values
So you want to sell your home, but you are wondering about your current home value right? It’s no surprise in today’s market that with exceptional upgrades and luscious landscaping, one can still find their home value is a lot less than what they would have predicted and the culprit could be your neighbor.
One reason for this has to do with the recent increase in foreclosures. Having just one foreclosure in your neighborhood can bring down the real estate values in the surrounding area. In a study released in May of 2009, researchers at Fannie Mae and the University of Connecticut found that if you lived within 300 feet of just one foreclosure, your home value could decrease by as much as 1.3% and that living within 300-500 feet of a foreclosed home can decrease it’s value by .6%!

“All is going well and I’m really pleased with GMHV. One of the first leads you sent me has called me back (I’ve had him on an email drip campaign) and I’m going to help him get a rental and probably list his house (due to a divorce). Even just one sale will pay for the service. I love the customer service you guys give and the follow up is terrific. I don’t know if I should keep you all a secret or tell everyone how great you are.”

“I am an Associate Broker in New York and writing as an 18 month customer of GMHV.com. GMHV is a key source of listing and buying leads for my business. While Internet leads tend to be long term, over time I have watched my long term leads come to life and result in business.
“Get My Homes Value is not just about leads. Also included is Prospect Maximizer. Prospect Maximizer is a very capable CRM which allows for task scheduling, reminders, drip email campaigns and export capabilities. GMHV provides many sample scripts for all occasions. A live chat button will put you in touch with a knowledgeable technician. There are many written and web based training aides to speed you on your way to success.
“Last but certainly not least I am assisted by my personal customer success coach – Kirsten M. Always energetic, bubbly and knowledgeable, Kirsten ensures that I know how to use all the latest GMHV software tools and that I am following GMHV’s proven best practices. Kirsten is a great accountability coach and her call always picks me up.
There is no short cut to real estate sales success however anyone willing to put in the work will find GMHV system profitable. “

“My name is Margie Hedley, a Broker/Agent with RE/MAX PROS in Huntersville, NC. I have been with Get My Homes Value.com since last September. The real estate market has been extremely slow and money has been very tight. I have eliminated all unnecessary expenses. The only extra cost I have kept is Get My Homes Value.com. I recognized the real value in this program. The leads I receive are from real people in my area looking for the information I can provide. The program provides all the tools and help that I need to operate my business as a Realtor®. I especially enjoy the coaching calls. Not only do they keep me motivated and on track with my business, they are helpful in answering my questions. There have been times when the real estate business has been very frustrating and having my coach help me vent and encourage me to continue has been worth more than I can say. Thank you for your program”

“So far, my Get My Homes Value experience has been great! I have been on the program for less than 60 days and have 3 listings. The quality of the leads, the Remarkable Agent website and the follow up and contact management program have been key in boosting my business. Thank you Get My Homes Value!”

“My initial assessment of the program is very positive. Although the monthly cost is very high (especially since I am a new agent and recently became unemployed), I am hopeful that this program will work and bring returns that will more than offset the cost.
“You are the best part of what I have seen so far. I am impressed with the program and all of the features it has and I am especially impressed with your enthusiasm, intelligence and coaching skills.
“I look forward to continuing working with you and give you my word that I will work hard to apply the techniques you teach me to assist me to become successful with this program!”

“I joined GetMyHomesValue.Com in February. From the beginning, my coach, Karen Salem, has been extraordinary in not only teaching me the use of the program, but also as a tremendous supporter in other ways. Karen is always available whenever I need her. While only one lead so far has resulted in a closed transaction, I have received many leads. With the current real estate market, most of the leads have been refinancing. As the real estate market continues to improve in my area, I truly expect to see more leads for sales. My plan is to change those sales leads into listings and sales.
“The way leads are connected directly to me by phone is wonderful. Most of the people are very receptive. When I call the leads that I receive by email, the people are usually receptive as well. I believe that the way the leads are handled before they come to me helps open the door for me.
“Thank you GetMyHomesValue.Com. And thank you Karen Salem!”

“We just got off the phone and as always, an hour well spent! I have only been in real estate for a little over a year and this is by far the best learning experience I have had. This is real world knowledge. This will be helpful over a career, not just starting one, but expanding one and getting to be an expert. I’m grateful for the wonderful and consistant coaching you offer me. You are keeping me on track even more than you know. The marketing knowledge given to me by GMHV frees up my time to focus on the real estate market itself. I trust in GMHV to be my marketing partner! Thank You”
