A: No, with very few exceptions. The first $250,000 in profit from the sale of a personal residence won’t be taxed, or the first $500,000 in the case of a married couple. The tax falls on relatively few — those with high incomes from other sources.

#1) Too Much Competition – It’s possible there are too many listing available in your price range within your market. When this happens chances are you are not going to see that many showings.

What To Do: This is one of those things you simply cannot control. In other words, you cannot reduce the number of listing on the market. What you can do is make your home more accessible to more buyers by lowering the price, offering favorable terms (ie. seller financing, closing costs, etc).

#2) Priced Too High – This is one of the most common mistakes I see home sellers make. If your price is too high you are not going to see too many buyers. If you happen to get a buyer you run the risk that the house will not appraise at the selling price and financing will fall through. Remember your house is worth what someone if willing to pay for it, NOT what you’d like to get out of it.

What To Do: First off you have to be realistic about your local market. Houses in your area may not selling like they used to. You also have to be honest with yourself and determine just how important it is for you to sell. Second work with a trusted real estate agent who has the data and can pull comparables to help you make an informed decision on a selling price.

WARNING: Don’t fall for the all too common real estate agent who promises to list your house at an unjustifiable high price only to come back later to ask you to lower your price because your house hasn’t sold. The first 30 days a house is on the market is crucial and if priced incorrectly the house will be ignored. If you lower your price later the first thing buyers ask is “What’s wrong with it, if the seller had to lower their price?”

#3) No Curb Appeal – In a job interview first impressions count. The same applies to selling a home. When selling a home if the buyer is turned-off by the outside of your home chances are they won’t go inside. Your house has to show well and that starts with the minute a buyer pulls up to the driveway.

What To Do: Make sure the exterior of your house is presentable. Trim shrubs, mow lawn, paint trim, replace rusted and beat up mailboxes. There are lots of inexpensive fixes you can to to the exterior of your house to increase its curb appeal. Do those prior to putting your house on the market and you stand a better chance of attracting buyers.

#4) Poor Marketing – Is your house being exposed to the largest pool of potential buyers? Is your agent accessible to potential buyers? What type of marketing is being done on a regular basis to attract buyers? Listing a house in the MLS and local newspaper is no longer enough.

What To Do: Make sure you real estate agent is marketing your house to the max.. Usually the MLS and a newspaper ad is what most agents do, but it shouldn’t stop there. How about syndicating your listing to national real estate website sites, ( AOL, Yahoo, Milltary.com, HomeFinder.com). Buyers are no longer local, they may relocate to your town from all over the globe. How about property brochures? YouTube videos? Does your agent have a flourishing and active social network (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin). Work with an agent who maximize marketing exposure.

Avoid these 4 common pitfalls and you stand a better chance of selling your home quicker.

We listened to Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow, Marcus Buckingham and Angela Ahrents. We were very impressed by Tim Tebow and his commitment to the game as well as to his faith. Urban Meyer was an interesting speaker and was a pleasure to listen to. Marcus Buckingham and Angela Ahrents were also good speakers and both offered excellent tips and insight into leadership and running a business.

Over all the speakers were great and the Leadercast was well presented.

Why Was I Disappointed?

As I looked around the room I noticed the attendance was very small probably a couple of dozen people or so. Most from what I could tell had taken the day off just to come to this event. What struck me was the poor showing and involvement by some of the town’s largest employers in our town. Only a handful of employees  from local businesses were present. When you consider just how many large employers are in our town you would think they would have had a bigger presence. The lessons taught in this Leadercast would have applied to everyone from executive level down to administrative.

In my opinion the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast is a great opportunity for an employer to motivate and inspire their staff and to teach them the value of being a leaders. Hopefully next year we’ll see a bigger turnout.

Lifeway Church thank you for hosting this event and I look forward to next year.

But the law had one unintended consequence. It confused the hell out of everyone; consumers and real estate agents alike.

However the confusion is about to be cleared up with pending House Bill 2524. HB 2524 aims to streamline the Oklahoma Relationship Act. With a two year effort by the Oklahoma Association of Realtors and the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission the bill has made its way through the Senate and passed with 40 Ayes and 1 Nay and with with some changes. It will go back to the House where it is expected to be signed into law Governor Fallin.

What are the expected changes to the Oklahoma Broker Relationship Act?

Before we dive into the new language let’s take a look at the language that was added back in 2000. The law back then authorized two types of broker relationships, a “transaction broker” and a “single-party broker”.

A transaction broker was defined as “a broker who provides services by assisting a party in a transaction without being an advocate for the benefit of either party.” In other words their function was to act as a facilitator to help and assist both seller and buyer in closing the transaction. All without favoring one party over the other.

A single-part broker was defined as a broker who entered into a written agreement with a party in a transaction to provide services for the benefit of that party. A single-party broker represented just his client and worked very much like a traditional agent. A single-party broker could obtain permission from either part to work as a transaction broker.

Not only that but a broker could be a  single-party broker to one party and a transaction broker to another.

ARE YOU CONFUSED YET?

 Well if you are so were hundreds of other.  Lots of confusion with both consumers and licensee about how the law really works out in the field.  Most of the confusion was in the differences between single-party brokers” and “transaction brokers”, the responsibilities of each and the effectiveness of how it was conveyed to the consumer.

Introducing House Bill 2524

HB 2524 should eliminate the confusion by removing the two type of agency “single-party broker ” and “transaction broker” and replacing it with a single broker definition that states each agent will have the same duties and responsibilities regadless of the transaction.

Lisa Noon, CEO of OAR said the bill will help clarify how a licensee would perform when involved with one party or both parties in a transaction.

No longer will there be a “single-party broker” or a “transaction broker”. Everyone will be a broker with the identical duties and responsibilities.  An agent can still work with one party or both and those responsibilities and duties will be outlined in the brokerage agreement between the agent and their client.

If the bill becomes law it will take effect on November 1, 2013.
