TIP: The most important factor you need to consider about real estate brokers is this, they typically work for the people selling the home -- not you. The standard practice is for the seller to hire a listing broker. That sounds simple enough.

From a buyers standpoint you will probably be tempted to tell a listing agent the highest price you are willing to pay for a house or the size of down payment you can afford. The sellers agent is obligated to pass those details on to the seller, which could hurt you in any negotiation.

You can even view the street view with Google Street View. Print a color flyer on each home to help you remember the features that interest you on each home, so you will be better informed and prepared when you meet with Tina Mounger 865-748-6216, or Steve Albin 865-235-1520 your http://justlistedknoxville.com/OpenHouse/

EXPIRED Listings Get a New Life with Just SOLD Knoxville


EXPIRED Listings Get a New Life with Just SOLD Knoxville

The big drop in inventories of homes for-sale is helping once-expired listings finally get sold. Sellers are finding re-listing their properties may offer them more luck now than a few months ago, according to Steve Albin of Just SOLD Knoxville.
Local inventories of single-family homes, condos, has fallen in the 6 months year, according to Steve Albin Inventories are at some of their lowest levels ever observed. Meanwhile, more buyers are coming off the sidelines, wanting to take advantage of record low mortgage rates and low prices, but are finding fewer properties to choose from. 
 real estate professionals report. 
While traditional real estate service is still the staple in East Tennessee, a market niche has been carved by traditional real estate agents seeking to provide individual seller a price advantage along with Full Service Market Value Real Estate Property Listing Service.
"Over the past 6 months, more than 75% or 5,196 of all real estate agent listed property by "wanna-be" house sellers have failed at the task of selling a house."
One thing worth mentioning is the speed at which these homes have sold. What many people don’t realize is that homes ARE selling out there right now IF they are priced correctly.
So it really helps to get a price advantage, which was my premise when I decided to lower the cost to sell. By lowering the listing side commission, you can lower your price and compete with the prices of the distressed properties on the market. That’s why these properties are selling – because they are priced correctly.
Many of these expired listings may need to address possible flaws that may have held them back in the first place — such as not priced right for the market or not in the right condition — before they return to the market, if they hope for a better outcome.
Steve Albin gives no-nonsense real estate advice to buyers and sellers most pressing questions.
The highest compliment for me, is for you to share this content with everyone you know who might benefit from the information. Thank you!

Selling a property is not a do it yourself job.

You listed your property on the market. People came by at all hours to preview the home. But the property never sold. Imagine offering your property for sale for six months, twelve months, or even several years, only to fail to sell each time. That level of continuous rejection is enough to bring down anybody's spirits. Most of these property owners thought they were doing all the things necessary when selling a house with a knowledgeable real estate agent. Did your property make the Competition in the neighborhood Look like Deals.
Selling your property quickly rather than dragging the process out can be the difference between putting a little money in your pocket rather than digging into savings on closing day. The asking price is the single most important factor creating a quick and profitable sale.



"Over the past 6 months, more than 75% or 5,196 of all real estate agent listed property by "wanna-be" house sellers have failed at the task of selling a house."


Real Estate Prices Rarely Jump Quickly to the Upside. People often talk about real estate prices like they change over night. From cocktail party chat to listing appointments, everyone asks "Are you seeing any upward movements in prices?" Real estate prices don’t work that way. They don’t double overnight. There are governors in place that keep property prices from moving up – things like ability to pay (interest rates, lending practices, personal income) and third party evaluations (homes often must appraise for the sale price).


Is everyone offering you the same marketing plan? Does any real estate agent sound different? We like to stand out from the crowd and are not afraid to do things differently, in fact we thrive on it.

ARE you being Steered to only listing agent properties or to the listing agent company property listings.


ARE you being Steered to only listing agent properties or to the listing agent company property listings.
Many brokers insist the there agent show buyers the agents own listings first, even if these listings do not meet the buyers requirement, then some agents are required to show you there her office listings second. In addition the listing company agent may receive a higher incentive personally to sell a company listing i.e. More Commission. These restrictions placed on agents by real estate brokers may be preventing you from seeing all the current market properties. This also holds true for franchise type public facing property web sites and some company directed agent web sites.
If the agent or the company is representing the seller, then the agent has no obligation to do a wide search immediately for the homes or allow you to see all the listed properties on there web site.
The sellers agent/company by law must disclosure your personal buying motives or financial intentions, "Only a buyer's agent is obligated to provide complete confidentiality of the buyers personal motives or financial intentions. As your personal agent we place your interest the buyer’s interests above our own. This would mean looking at all suitable properties immediately.
Purchasing a home is a major financial commitment requiring careful analysis of all details of the purchasing process. In the end, those buyers that engage a full time, competent real estate professional obtain the best price, choice location and known incentives, than those buyers that are not represented who deal directly with the seller. ARE you being Steered to only agent or the agent company listings.

Knoxville, TN is the sixth best mid-sized city for jobs in an annual Forbes magazine ranking of 398 U.S. metros. Knoxville was 9th in the 2011 list, and rose in the ranking primarily because of a 3.1 percent growth in year-over-year jobs.

"The Knoxville region is an exciting, innovative place to do business," said Mike Edwards, president & CEO of the Knoxville Chamber. "The research and science assets of Knoxville and Oak Ridge make this area a leader in energy and technology, two of the key factors of job growth according to Forbes."


Forbes noted that the 2011 list of Best Cities for Jobs was dominated by locations that depended heavily on government employers. In 2012, "Instead of government, the big drivers of growth now appear to be three basic sectors: energy, technology and, most welcome of all, manufacturing." The Knoxville-Oak Ridge Innovation Valley is home to the University of Tennessee, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Y-12 National Security Complex, and other Department of Energy facilities. These organizations are on the cutting-edge of energy technologies, materials science including carbon fiber, high-speed computing, and other research and development efforts, and make the region attractive to private sector employers.


Over the last twelve months, the Knoxville region saw many companies announcing the addition of new jobs. This includes Provision's Center for Proton Therapy (100 jobs), Republic Plastics (100 jobs), Scripps Networks Interactive (100 jobs), EdFinancial (150 jobs), Goodson Brothers Coffee Company (20 jobs), G.C. Services (65 jobs), Holston Gases (30 jobs), TeamHealth (160 jobs), Virginia College (120 jobs), Legends Fitness (55 jobs), Denso Manufacturing (75), and Comcast (55 jobs).


Within the last year, ORNL has helped develop the Carbon Fiber Consortium in the region, which will give private industry, government agencies, and educational institutions the opportunity to work together to accelerate the development, demonstration, and commercial adoption of new carbon fiber and composite materials and processing techniques in many different industries. The Carbon Fiber Technology plant is an example of how the region is working together and of an industry where future job growth will occur. Other manufacturers in this region such as PetSafe, Clayton Homes, Toho Tenax, and Denso continue grow and take advantage of regional technology assets.


To capitalize on the technology resources, a regional economic development effort known as Innovation Valley works with local entrepreneurs and existing businesses to grow jobs. Regional economic development professionals also collaboratively work to attract companies and new jobs. Across the U.S., the type of regional cooperation seen in the Innovation Valley is unparalleled and the Innovation Valley serves as a best practice community in that regard.


The Innovation Valley is also on the cutting edge in workforce, targeted marketing, and technology-led economic development. The region's focused workforce development efforts will contribute to the future employment pool being better prepared than employees in other areas and that alone can attract new employers and high-wage jobs. The Innovation Valley is carefully recruiting companies that can not only benefit from the region's transportation, science, and technology assets, but also contribute to its momentum. According to Battelle, the Innovation Valley is the only region with a national laboratory that actively works in partnership with scientists and researchers to recruit companies and turn scientific discoveries into commercially viable products.
