What does a rental agent do?

Stuart Nesbitt
Stuart Nesbitt is a real estate agent serving Northern Virginia.
A rental agent's job is to listen to your needs and then help you identify rentals that meet your needs. Rental agents typically have in-depth knowledge of the community, and they are often aware of market rates. It's not uncommon for a "connected" rental agent to know of rental opportunities that are quietly listed and generally unknown to the public. A rental agent's fees are paid by the landlord, so there is no expense to the renter. It really is in the renter's best interests to employ the services of a trustworthy rental agent. Renters in {Location_Name} who have a pet or more than one pet may face additional challenges when renting a condo or a house. One of the primary challenges renters may face is finding a living situation which is acceptable to them and also willing to accept their pets. This may be difficult as many rental properties do not allow pets at all. Those who do allow animals on the property may place certain restrictions on the size and breed of animals which may reside on the property. Your agent is capable of helping you identify and target properties that allow pets. Your rental agent may save you a lot of time and may get you your next home with the least amount of troubles.  [Read more about rental agents.]

A Good Time to Buy a High-End Home

exterior
Corner view
Some of the best housing deals are on high-end homes, many over $1 million. Some of them need TLC or they aren’t in the most-coveted locations. But there are plenty of desirable properties and lots of sellers who are getting impatient. Buyers with cash have the best opportunities. Buyers who need a mortgage should move especially quickly. With the Federal Reserve ending its purchases of mortgage securities this month, the mortgage market is likely to rise from its current low level. Even if prices fall further, the rising cost of borrowing could eliminate any savings. As Kenneth Rosen, chairman of the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics at the University of California, says, this is a "very good time to be a buyer at the high end."

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and Fort Belvoir

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) is service-wide restructuring of bases and personnel in the US military.  BRAC mandated at that about 20,000 jobs move to Fort Belvoir. As Belvoir adjusted to this influx, Army officials sought nearby facilities that would satisfy BRAC mandates, but would relieve pressure from the crowded gates of Belvoir. As a result, last month, US Army officials announced the movement of 6,400 jobs to Alexandria. There was some opposition from state and Fairfax County officials, but ultimately the decision was made to pass-over an alternate site in Springfield and head for Mark Center in Alexandria. This move is still ahead of the 2001 deadline required by BRAC. Mark Center is a yet to be built office complex near Seminary Road at the I-395 interchange. According to some news sources, the Army construction project at the Mark Center could cost up to $1 billion. Ground-breaking on this new project will begin in January. This is of course good news for home sellers and owners in Alexandria and Fairfax County as an influx of service members will help steady housing prices. Fairfax County and Prince William County and Commonwealth officials argued that the site at Mark Center is not well served by the Virginia Railway Express and as a result the new site will contribute to congestion on local roads. No doubt 6400 additional commuters will place additional burdens on local roadways. But many of these service members and support staff will opt to live in Fairfax County and Alexandria rather than in outlying areas such as Prince William and Stafford Counties.

Why We Persuade Sellers to Accept Realistic Pricing

When prices were declining, many home sellers were having a lot of trouble accepting the market value of their properties. Even though the prices might seem high to those moving to Northern Virginia, some sellers are still adjusting to the market.
    1. We tell them the odds. Calculate the absorption rate in their area. Divide “1” by the number of months of housing inventory. For instance, if there are 12 months of inventory on the market, the probability of selling in any given month is 8.3 percent. The probability of not selling is 91.7 percent.
    2. We explain the cost of not selling. That includes paying the mortgage, insurance, utilities, etc., plus the cost of any further price declines.
    3. We compare the price per square foot. Show the seller the prices of comparable homes sold on a price-per-square-foot basis.
    4. We point out how much lenders are willing to loan on similar properties. If a house can’t qualify at the price the sellers seek, few will be able to buy it.
    5. We show them the goods. Take sellers on a tour of competing properties and show them the online tours of those that sold previous.
    6. We use online pricing tools. Sites such as NesbittRealty.com help us demonstrate competitive pricing.
Nesbitt Realty explains these fact so that sellers can make an informed choice about selling a home or condo today.
