NH Real Estate ~ What’s the difference between Client and Customer

Client or CustomerWhat’s the difference between Client and Customer

We often get asked questions on the blog and lately we’ve had a few folks ask what the difference is between a client and a customer when it comes to New Hampshire real estate.  Simply put it comes down to representation… do you want or need someone to represent you exclusively in the New Hampshire real estate transaction? If so then you want to be a CLIENT Client = representation/contractual relationship with a REALTOR.

If you feel comfortable and knowledgeable in the process and don’t need or want representation, then by all means remain a CUSTOMER. Customer = self-representation/ facilitator relationship with a REALTOR.

Hope these short videos helps to clarify the difference between customer and client.  If you have any further questions call or text us at 603-548-7685 and we’d love to sit down and chat with you about your representational options and of course help you buy or sell a Southern New Hampshire or Seacoast New Hampshire home.

$8,000 tax credit ~ extended and expanded

Home Ownership

Home Ownership

$8,000 tax credit ~ extended and expanded

Great news for home buyers and sellers alike.  The $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers has been extended to April 30 2010 and a new $6,500 tax credit for homeowners who have used the home being sold as their principal residence consecutively for 5 of the previous 8 years.

This will bust open up the real estate market!

This will bust open the real estate market as it will encourage the move up buyer to take the leap! As long as a binding purchase contract is written by April 30 2010 the purchaser has until July 1 2010 to actually close on the property.

Income Limits raised!

The income limits have been raised as well which will include more people:

$125,000 – single
$225,000 – married

Limitation on cost of the home being purchased is set to $800,000 and that sure can buy a lot of home.

Prices-Rates and Homes – all the ingredients are there

Prices are fantastic and interest rates are incredible couple that along with the tax credits and buying a Southern New Hampshire home becomes a must do. All the ingredients are there and now all you have to so is pick up the phone and call 603-548-7728!

All those crappy MLS pictures…a pet peeve

I am constantly surfing our Southern NH MLS and always notice listing photos and whether or not there are virtual tours of the homes.  Some of the MLS photos that agents put in are absolutely pitiful.  I don’t understand why no one holds them accountable for those crappy MLS photos… not their manager and not the sellers! I don’t get it!

I’ve seen photos with dirty dishes left on the counters…never mind all sorts of regular day to day clutter on the counters and floors. Or how about the lovely bathroom shot showing nothing but the toilet with the lid up no less! I’m happy the house comes with a toilet but really how about showing more of the bathroom or skipping the hopper shot all together.  One particular MLS listing photo shows a lovely dining room table with all the listing paperwork, file and pens all spread all over the table….only thing missing was a  picture of the sellers signing the paperwork.  I thought maybe it was a temporary MLS photo…you know in the excitement of getting the listing. Nope I was wrong! That picture was still up there 8 weeks later.

What ever happened to the idea of making a good first impression?  Today up to 93% of home buyers search or use the Internet to find a house. First impressions…each time a listing is viewed on line a decision will be made based on that photo. A decision to make an appointment or to inquire about more information, or the decision to by pass the home completely.

Think about this, when was the last time you used the yellow pages to find a business?  How did you buy your last airline ticket?  If your home is on the market you must ask yourself what does your on-line listing photos say about you and your house? What does it say about the professionalism of your agent?

Start 2009 off right …you can’t afford to hire a sloppy lazy agent. This real estate market requires an agent that will think outside the box, one that will highlight your home and position it to be noticed and stand above the crowd.

Visit our some or our Listing Blogs as an example of our custom marketing plan.

If you’re thinking about selling your southern NH home, please give us a call and let us show you our Unique Market Advantage Plan designed especially for our clients. Our custom plan will guide you through the process of selling your home from start to finish.

It would be our honor….Jay and Monika at 603-548-7728
