How Home Equity Works - by Daniel Riley

Your home equity is the appraised value remaining in your house after you subtract the remaining balance you owe on your existing mortgage(s). It can be thought of as the part of the house you actually own instead of the bank: the part you've paid for so far.

It isn't difficult to build equity in your home, and chances are if you've owned your house for a while and have been making your regular mortgage payments, you probably have built a considerable amount of home equity already. Though the housing market rises and falls in cycles, the overall tendency is consistently upward. In other words, property values tend to rise over the long term.

How Can Home Equity Be Used?

Once you have equity in your home, you can start to use it to fund nearly anything you want or need. Having equity in your home puts you in a powerful position, as you can use it to qualify for credit and borrow money. Buy a new car, take that dream vacation, fund a college education, make renovations and improvements to your house. Whether to pay for an emergency or finance a dream, there are two primary ways to tap into the wellspring that is your home equity: a home equity loan or a line of credit.

Flat Fee MLS Listings - Is This The Future Of Real Estate?

Flat Fee MLS Listings - Is This The Future Of Real Estate?

Mar 27, 2006 - Linknet Real Estate News - by Richard Massey

Realtors are all a buzz about this new form of listing houses on the MLS (multiple listing service). Some feel it creates more work for the buyers agent, while others see this as a way to tap into the For Sale By Owner market.

== Quality real estate investing course ==

It used to be when you made the decision to sell your home, you essentially had two methods available to you. You could list your home with a traditional real estate company and pay 6-7% commission or you could try selling on your own "for sale buy owner".

Research shows that nearly 50% of all home sellers start out trying to sell their property on their own. Although some home owners are successful with FSBO, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) home seller survey, only sixteen percent of sellers actually sell their home without exposure on the MLS. And many of them end up giving away their commission savings to the buyer to close the deal.

Realtors tend to avoid for sale by owner properties because they are working with buyers and have no written agreement to be compensated. If the seller has not agreed in writing to pay a commission to the agent, the buyer could cut the agent right out of the deal and negotiate directly with the seller. It happens...

== Waterloo Ontario Real Estate ==

With flat fee MLS service, the seller has agreed in writing to pay a commission, usually 3%, to the buyers agent. This motivates Realtors to bring the seller a buyer.

How it works:

Real estate commissions by law are negotiable. In a flat fee listing, the listing agent agrees to a flat fee instead of a percentage of the sale price. This can be anywhere from 0-0 for the service of adding your house to the MLS. Then you choose how much to pay the buyers agent in commission for bringing you a buyer (typically 3%). So in the sale of a 0,000 house you would pay ,000 plus the flat listing fee, saving a close to ,700 in commissions. The plus side is in the listing agents contract, the right to continue advertising you house FSBO. So in the event you find a buyer without an agent you save on all commissions and only pay the flat listing fee.

What do you get with flat fee MLS listing:

Advertise your home on Realtor.com®

Market to buyers working with a Realtor® through the MLS

Market to Buyers working without a Realtor®

Retain your right to sell your property by owner

Avoid paying any real estate listing commission by paying a flat rate or fixed fee upfront

Only pay a commission if a buyer's agent sells your home

Why would a listing agent want to do this?

For real estate agents this can be an opportunity to increase revenue by listing more homes. There are many people who refuse to use realtors because of the 6-7% commissions, but are more than willing to pay 3%. With the increase of internet marketing, realtors can reach more people because all they are offering is to list the house on the MLS. Services are minimal and the listing agent really won't be trying to find a buyer for you, but rely on the buyers agents. This allows them to list properties in a larger area and in some cases in other states.

With the increase of house prices, is the 6% sales commission going to survive or will flat fee listings be the wave of the future? Only time will tell...
