Episode 8: Our First Deals in Real Estate


Welcome to episode 8 with the Better Together Realty Group.  Today we are going to tell the stories of our first deals in real estate. 


Dayna’s First Deal:

My first deal was kind of fun. It came from a friend at the gym where I teach yoga classes. She was a first time home buyer and it was my first deal, so we were both excited, nervous, and eager. It went pretty well. We probably saw more houses than we needed too, but it was a learning experience for both of us. One positive thing from the whole transaction was working with a lender and title company that was very supportive. We had a great working relationship with them so it made the transaction go very smooth. 



Haleigh’s first Deal:

My very first deal in real estate was kind of picture perfect. I was the only person in the office on this day. The phone kept ringing and I didn’t know what to do, so I just answered it. The person on the other end wanted to see 123 Main St. and I’m ready to buy a house. I thought, Oh my goodness! It worked! I got my real estate license, someone called and they want to buy a house and I can show you! I went out, showed them a house that day. That one didn’t work, so I showed them about 2-3 others and we got under contract and it closed in about 30-40 days later and then I got a commission check. Again, I thought, Oh my goodness, this is so easy. I can totally do this. Then nothing has ever been that easy since then. My first one was kind of funny. I was the only person in the office, I got this client, stayed really good friends with them and still talk to them to this day. 


Colton’s first deal:

Some people’s first transaction in real estate is super smooth, some are really bumpy, some are these learning experiences. Mine was a healthy mix of all of them. We saw a bunch of houses, a lot of things my client liked and didn’t like. When we finally found the one that was for them, I felt all this pressure because it was a young family, starting out, with a baby on the way. We get through the entire process. Do the walk through, do everything we need too, everything looks good, and then we close on the house and I got to learn how to bring in vendors to fix a problem that wasn’t a problem before we closed on the house. We came into the house the next day and there was this really bad smell of cat urine. Long story short, it was really hard to get out. But we had plenty of vendors, plenty of professionals who were capable of eliminating odors. So, if you ever have a problem of any kind, trust your real estate professional.

Episode 5: To list or not to list before putting in an offer

  So the question is, should you put an offer on a new home, before you list your current home? It’s a big question and we’re here to help you try to answer that today.  A couple of different things come into play: What’s your time frame?  Are you under pressure? Do you have to move? Is your job relocating? Do you need to sell your house quick? Are you trying to downsize? Are you just curious and wanting to get the most out of your house you can get?   Now is the time to get the most out of your equity.   Let’s talk about the first thing. If you are under 300K in Ellis County right now they are selling fast. We’re talking zero to seven days average on market.  A lot of that time is just due to all the multiple offers and agents trying to get through them and pick the right one.  If you are in that price point and you are going to list under 300K, what we suggest is that we get your home completely ready to list. We’re going to actually present an incoming MLS sheet with your offer t
