Local real estate agents offer
their take on today’s market
by Marty Harris
Local real estate agents are
cautiously optimistic about the 2009
real estate season.
“Market conditions in 2009 are very
different than years’ past,” according
to Ted Thornhill, president of Janet
McAfee Inc., located in Ladue. “On
one hand you have a market that is
perfectly set up for home buyers with
good inventory, good pricing, good
interest rates and motivated sellers.
“On the other hand you have job
insecurity, news of layoffs nationwide
and slightly declining home values
which create uncertainty for buyers
and additional days on market for
sellers which could influence value in
a negative way,” Thornhill added.
With business “slightly slower the
first two months of this year than
previous years,” Thornhill said the
forecast for 2009 is one of “extreme
caution, slightly optimistic with very
slow upward growth beginning in the
end of the second quarter of the year.”
“When you come out of a year like
2008, you’re a little gun shy,” said
Phil Hunt, broker/owner of Prudential
Advantage Realtors in Webster
Groves. “But indicators we have in
our office show we’re going to have a
good spring.”
Hunt noted that 2008 sales in
his office were down 18 percent over
listings and in the last five
weeks have seen an increase
in sales,” said Hunt.
Allen Rosen, branch
manager of the Coldwell
Banker Gundaker Des
Peres office, characterized
the current market as
“sluggish.”
He said Coldwell Banker
Gundaker is looking to a
slight increase in sales in
the second half of 2009 and
beyond.
“There is still no better
place to call home than St.
Louis,” said Rosen. “We
don’t have those giant
peaks when the market
improves but we also don’t
have the valleys they are
experiencing on the coasts.”
Hunt agreed.
“We’re blessed; we’re Now is not a bad time to sell if it’s done right, ac-

percent in 2008 from 2007,” Rosen
said.
Tax Credit
The economic stimulus package
is giving the real market a boost.
Qualifying first-time home buyers can
receive an $8,000 tax credit until Dec. company Equity Solutions, said
31.
lair , GRI “I think the $8,000 tax credit is
causing people to stand up and take
notice,” Hunt said. He noted that
those who close before April 14 can
claim the tax credit on their 2008 tax and ease of financing. Lenders’
return.
Not surprising, homes priced for
first-time home buyers up to $175,000
are selling the best, followed by homes positioned with a great lender, be
$250,000 to $350,000, Hunt said.
Rosen agreed.
“The price range of $250,000 and
below is selling better than the other
price bands, probably because that
is the range of the first-time home
buyer and the effect of the $8,000
tax credit,” Rosen said. “Builders and ever.
condo sales are still lagging behind
pre-owned homes.”
A Buyer’s Market
Whatever the price range, sellers
need to be aware that it is a buyer’s
market.
Thornhill offered the following
advice to sellers:
“Remember the old phrase, ‘You
never get a second chance at making
a good first impression,’ fix it up,
paint it. Get your home looking its
best and ready to compete,” Thornhill
said.
“We hear over and over from
buyers that they would not consider
making an offer on a house that is
not in pristine, move-in condition and they’ve been in nearly 30 years.
priced relevant to the market,” said
Rosen.
And not only that, but they want
to feel like they got value for their
money,” Hunt added.
added. “What we have experienced
is that just like the old days buyers
have to have a down payment. It
could be as little as 3.5 percent of the
sale price for FHA, and they have to
be credit worthy.”
Hunt, who owns the mortgage
money is out there, but there’s more
scrutiny for a good loan and buyers
must jump through hoops.
“Do not believe everything that
you read with respect to availability
requirements have changed,” said
Thornhill.
Hunt said buyers need to be
pre-approved and understand how
lending works in today’s market.
Need For Real Estate Agent
With today’s market and loan
requirements, the local agents said
their services are needed more than
“The conditions that currently
exist require well-educated agents,”
Thornhill said. “Buyers and sellers
need more education regarding
market activity and possibly more
effective marketing efforts for sellers.
Further, agents need to recognize
people’s stress level and frustration
and have more patience and time
with their clients,” Thornhill said.
“If an agent is not constantly
studying, he can’t be effective in this
market,” Hunt added. “Clients expect
a lot more of their realtor than they
used to.”
For the potential home buyer on
the fence, now is a good time to buy.
“Interest rates are the lowest
Home prices are down. Sellers are
motivated,” Rosen said.
“And if you do it right, it’s not a
bad time to sell,” Hunt said.

10 Questions To Ask A Realtor When Selling A Home
The most important decision you
make in the sale of your home is the
Realtor you choose. Here are 10 ques-
tions to ask a Realtor:
1. Could you send me some in-
formation about yourself?
You can often get a good idea of
which agents are the most profession-
al by looking at their promotional ma-
terials. If their own materials aren’t
professional, how well are they going
to market your home? Track how long
each agent takes to respond to your re-
quest and how quickly they follow up.
If they don’t respond efficiently to your
listing requests imagine how they’ll
handle potential home buyers.

2. How many homes have you
listed and how many home have
you sold in the last six months?
Look for an agent who has experi-
ence with homes similar to yours and
is active in your area. If your home has
special features look for an agent with
experience in those areas. Your agent
should have a good record of selling
homes, not just listing them. After all,
this is your ultimate goal.
3. What is your average length of
time from listed to sold?
Don’t automatically assume the
shorter time on the market the bet-
ter. That could reflect selling homes
quickly at lowball prices. Look at what
the asking price was compared to the
selling price. An agent who sells close
to the asking price and is quick is ef-
fective at helping clients determine the
right price and helping them get it.
4. How long have you been in
business and what professional or-
ganizations do you belong to?
The length of time a real estate agent
has been licensed is not a sure-fire sign
that they’ve been an active seller. They
may have been in business for 10 years
but only part time, whereas an agent
who’s been in business for two years
may be a real top producer. So take
into account what professional organi-
zations they belong to. The minimum
should be a licensed professional who’s
a member of the local real estate board
and multiple listing services as well as
the state and National Association of
Realtors. Local community groups and
associations are also pluses in terms of
networking and commitment.
5. Do you have an assistant or of a complete marketing plan.

Realtor Questions from page 6 Unlock The

8. What does the listing agree-
ment entail, what are the begin-
ning and expiration dates, and
what are the fee amounts I will be
paying?
Have your agent go over every detail
in the listing agreement with you un-
til you understand it completely. Make
sure the beginning and ending dates
are on the agreement; a good standard
for length is three months. Know ex-
actly what fees you will be paying and
remember that less is not always bet-
ter. If the agent stands to make very
little commission you can bet it will be
reflected in the amount of time and ef-
fort that is spent marketing your home.
If the agent reduces their commission
to get the listing it may mean they
intend to spend very little money pro-
moting the property. A typical agency
commission is between five and seven
percent, of which the agent receives a
portion upon closing.
9. What disclosure laws apply to
me and what do I need to be aware
of?
Make sure your agent helps you with
locating professional inspectors for the
various mandatory home inspections

applicable C.C. & R’s, applicable study
zones report, structural engineering
report, property profile from the title
company, plans for alterations or ad-
ditions, and special equipment report
for pools, spas, sprinklers and alarm
systems. Your agent should be able to
handle this for you.
10. What types of things sepa-
rate you from your competition
and will you give me some feed-
back?
How effectively will they advertise?
Do they have 24-hour advertising ca-
pability? Will all the leads be followed
up on by your agent’s team or will they
go to other agents who may have other
listings they would prefer to show?
Agents who are innovative and offer
new methods of attracting home buy-
ers will measurably outperform agents
who rely on methods of the past. Mar-
keting effectively requires progressive
strategies that add value and service

Real estate agents,

Determining whether a home is
priced fairly requires market research
and assistance from a real estate agent.
You don’t want to pay more than you
absolutely have to.
There are a number of ways to get
assistance on what homes are worth.
• Real Estate Agent: Your real es-
tate agent can be one of the best sourc-
es of information on housing prices. Be-
cause he or she is intimately involved
in pricing homes in your neighborhood,

parative prices (comps) and know how

the house you’re considering falls in a
comparative market analysis. Choose
an agent who is familiar with the
neighborhoods you are considering.
• Get an Appraisal: An appraisal
on the property by a professional ap-
praiser will help you determine a fair
price. This will involve an inspection
of the property, square footage and
amenities. Your mortgage lender will
require an up-to-date appraisal to ac-
curately determine the funds to lend.
• Go Online: There are a number of
Web sites that can give you comp prices
in the area, including your local news-
paper’s Web real estate pages. Others
will tell you what the final price was on
home sales around the property you’re
considering. You can compare these
sales to what you are thinking about
offering, based on what the homes have
in common. It’s also a good bargaining
tool to have this information on hand.
