Does your Big Bear Real Estate agent tell you what you want to hear, or the truth?
Listening to a Real Estate agent that has their interests in front of yours can be a big mistake. I must admit that I have a problem, I am often Brutally Honest. Being honest is not the problem, but I know I could improve on the way I deliver the message.
I don’t do the sugar-coating thing well. I tend to tell it like it is and live with the consequences. I won’t tell you what you want to hear, unless I believe it to be the truth. It really makes things easy to remember.
When you work with me, you might hear more than you want to hear about the house. I might get in the way sometimes as if I were buying the house myself. Sometimes I will want repairs made that the buyer doesn’t seem to care about or is not aware of. That’s just how I am.
If I am representing you as a buyer, I might tell you all of the things that the seller would rather have you overlook. I will more than likely be at the home inspection and in addition to thoroughly looking at the items that the home inspector discovers, I might ask him to look at things that he didn’t discover or mention. I will also let you know as a buyer that repairs done by sellers are often done with the cheapest materials and least expensive labor that the seller can find. This doesn’t always equate to the best results, so I will often recommend that we get a bid from someone who knows how to do the repair correctly, at a fair price. I might tell you that the house you like is over priced, or not the best value. Isn’t that the type of honesty you deserve?
If I am your listing agent I will tell you the recommended list price based on market conditions, not your needs or debt. That’s not to say I am not flexible at all or sympathetic to your financial situation, but I will give you the real price, even if you don’t like it. I will recommend the work needed to get the home sold and lead you through the selling process. I will work with you on improvements that need to be made by providing contractors and handyman that will perform their jobs as professionals. I will be available to return your calls timely and with real answers. Don’t be surprised if I tell you your home is worth less than some other agents will tell you. I won’t give you a price that is 20% above what I believe is the real value just to get your signature on the listing agreement. I might offer to show you the other homes that a buyer will look at in your price range to show you the reason your home needs to be priced correctly.
After all, what sign do you want to have hung in front of your home in 90 days?
or
If your agent of choice is unable to put your interests first, you need to find one that will.
Click here to read my recommendations for buyer’s and seller’s that I have represented in the past.
Shouldn’t I Price My Big Bear Home with a Little Cushion?
I get this question on most listing appointments that I have. The sellers want to leave some room to negotiate. In a market that is moving in the sellers direction, pricing your home with a little cushion will benefit sellers because 30, 60, 90, or more days from the list date, the home will be worth more. That is why we always say “It’s time or money”.
In a buyers market, it’s “TIME AND MONEY”. Pricing with cushion will often price your home above market value and effect showings. Slowing down the showings on your property will result in wasted market time. With prices coming down, this will cost the seller money.
Please don’t overprice your property in the market that we are currently experiencing. Amend your price frequently if you are not having ample showings. Get your home priced so that buyers and their agents find your home to be the best value. The good news is you don’t have to accept any offers that come in below your asking price, and believe me buyers will try to get the best deal they can.
What situation do you want to be in? Do you want to be getting offers and negotiating, or have your home sit and not be shown while prices are falling? Seller’s should take a hard look at every offer in this market. Always counter an offer if you are not going to accept. I don’t believe in rejecting offers in any market. The goal is to sell your property, so lets not get our ego in the way. Tell the buyers what you will accept and see how they respond. Buyers in this market are rare. Don’t go shooting endangered species.
Slow decision making on the part of sellers will also be costly. I have had this happen a number of times. I will give the sellers information on comparable properties and recommend amending the price. This market analysis is based on current conditions, not a month later. If you are a seller that takes weeks to come around to getting back to your agent and approving the price reduction, you might miss that price again.
In the current Real Estate market in Big Bear prices are still coming down. So, if you aren’t going to pull the trigger for a few weeks or more on the recommended price change or list price, you might want to consider how far prices will drop during the time that you will need to make the decision.
So, save yourself some money and price your home at or below market value in a buyers market and respond quickly to market changes.

Do you want to Sell your Home or get a Zestimate?
This video will help you understand the accuracy of the Zillow Zestimate. In Big Bear Zillow’s Zestimates are often mislead by the different types of properties available. Zillow doesn’t know that your home is situated with a view of the ski slopes or lake. Zillow doesn’t know if your home sits on Big Bear Lake and has a boat dock. Zillow often uses comparables from Sugarloaf as comps. for homes in Moonridge since they are only a mile or two apart as a crow flies.
When we look at the statistics for Zillow accuracy for San Bernardino County we see:
2 out of 5 Stars for Zestimate Accuracy
99% of the homes are on Zillow
99% of the Homes have Zestimates
23% of the Zestimates are within 5% / or 77% are not.
43% of the Zestimates are within 10% / or 57% are not.
69% of the Zestimates are within 20% / or 31% are not.
12.1% Median Error
I believe that Zillow’s accuracy will improve as they compile more information. Currently market conditions are changing so fast that your home value is a moving target. It’s more important than ever to price your property correctly to create excitement in this volatile market.

12 Homes Sold in Big Bear, 7/19 – 7/26/2009
Click here to see the details on these 12 homes.
*As you can see, homes in the Big Bear area are still selling within 10% of the list price consistently. Buyers that want to purchase here will be disappointed if they expect to find homes selling for 25% or more off of list price. This also means that homes won’t sell until the price gets close to market value. Overpriced homes (over 90% of the listings) will sit with no activity until they lower the price to meet the market.
