Difference Between Baton Rouge Home Appraisals Versus Home Inspections
http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ - Difference Between Baton Rouge Home Appraisals Versus Home Inspections In A Mortgage Loan Process.
The Home Appraiser is hired by the bank to decide the estimated market value of a house. The Appraisal Report protects the Bank or Lender and not the home buyer. The buyer pays for the home appraisal and that price will depend on if the lender is employing a third party to order the appraisal. Depending on how the appraisal is ordered from the Bank, the cost can range from $350 up to $600, the higher price is if an AMC or Appraisal Management Company is hired (a middle-man that orders, reviews and delivers the report by hiring local home appraisers).
Home Appraiser’s inspection generally consists of an inspection of the neighborhood first, then measuring the home based on national ANSI standards, taking lots of required photos of interior and exterior and determining condition and quality level of home. Appraiser takes this “subject” data and compares other recent home sales in the same market, applies market adjustments of pluses and minuses for differences and arrives at an estimated value. NOTE: Home Appraiser condition inspection is limited to what can obviously be seen with the eye, at eye level. An Appraiser inspection is not a roofing inspection, hot water heater inspection or central heat and air inspection, the major expensive items that tend to lead home buyers into believing that home appraisers should inspect these items and guarantee them.
Call or email Accurate Valuations Group for more details: 225-293-1500 or info@accuratevg.com.
FHA even protects the Appraiser with this form below presented to buyers that tells them to “Get A Home Inspection”!
Home Inspections inspect detailed condition. are a very detailed inspection of various items around the home and inside the walls, attic and underneath the home if there’s crawl space. Inspectors can inspect things like pest control, roofing, chimney, electrical, plumbing, for harmful mold and other negatives that might cost the buyer money in repairs soon after they buy the home. They are hired by the buyer to inspect the condition of the home on the day of inspection.
The home inspection fee is normally paid by the buyer. The costs for home inspections is not known and is really based on the size and complexity of the home. Naturally, the longer the inspection will take, the higher the fee.
There are TWO (2) local Greater Baton Rouge Home Inspectors I recommend because I’ve known each of them for years now and can count on them to do their job right and not sorry that I referred them.

Social Media Survey Results From 200 Real Estate Agents: Does It Apply In Greater Baton Rouge?
http://batonrougerealtorhomes.net/ - Social Media Survey Results From 200 Real Estate Agents: Does It Apply In Greater Baton Rouge?
eRealEstate.com is reporting on a survey of 200 Realtors and their experiences using Social Media. Some struggle and there are some success stories. Their article is here!
Here’s a snippet:
“Fears and Frustrations
•1. “Overwhelmed” – many real estate professionals are overwhelmed by all the new technology, new social media forums and the shift in online consumer trends. There’s just too much information, too much to learn and it all changes so quickly.
•2. “Don’t know where to start” – this is a huge obstacle and it’s a brick wall for so many professionals.
•3. “Don’t know what to do” – most people are on Active Rain and Facebook but a common concern was they didn’t know what to do. What should I blog about? Should I get an outside blog? How do I find potential buyers and sellers in my area? How often should I send messages to friends?
•4. “Don’t have a step by step game plan or system” – this was the number one request from the survey. Many professionals had started playing around with social media but just didn’t have any direction or purpose to their efforts. They’re looking for information and guidance – preferably a step-by-step playbook.
Success Stories and Things that Work
•1. “Blogging” – Blogging is the primary social media forum used by most real estate professionals. Most people have a blog (usually on Active Rain) and many have numerous blogs. They use their blog to share information with their clients and to stay “front of mind” for the day the client enters or re-enters the real estate market.
•2. “Active Rain’ – just about everyone loves Active Rain and lists education, information and referrals as the main benefits. In terms of usage I would rank Active Rain ahead of Facebook followed by Linked In.
•3. “Facebook” – most professionals who said they had closed business through social marketing credited Facebook as the source of the client. The successful agents talked about setting up groups or business pages on Facebook. No-one had anything negative to say about Facebook and viewed it as an essential network to join.”

Five Ways Olive Garden Can Enhance Your Baton Rouge Real Estate Business
http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ - Five Ways Olive Garden Can Enhance Your Local Baton Rouge Real Estate Business
J. Lamar Ferren has written an insightful article on how Olive Garden Restaurant can enhance your local Real Estate Business! The article is located here: Five Ways Olive Garden Can Enhance Your Real Estate Business.
Here’s a snippet:
“1. The “Right This Way” concept
In Olive Garden: When you first enter the Olive Garden, you are typically greeted by the host who calls on someone to seat you. Usually the person who seats you will say “Right This Way” as they lead off into the restaurant with you following behind them. I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of going into restaurants where I have to seat myself. It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s just that when the restaurant is crowded, it is usually tough to find a seat; especially if you have multiple guests. The person who seats you knows exactly where to go and can get you there quickly; it’s just easier if you follow them.
In Your Business: When a client sees your sign, your Craigslist ad, your flyer, etc., in order for them to click through to your site or pick up the phone and call you, they have to be given a “Call To Action”. Peter Kolat, a fellow BP blog contributor, actually goes into this concept a little more in depth. However, the main thing is to tell your clients exactly what you want them to do. For example, you could say, “Visit My Website Today” or “Pick up the phone and call me at 555-555-5555 right now.” Tell them exactly what you want them to do and if they’re interested, they will follow through. Don’t just assume that everyone who sees your advertisement, will know what to do next. You must guide them through the experience!
2. The “Give Them What They Want” concept
In Olive Garden: After you are seated, you are then greeted by your server, who eventually takes your order. You get the opportunity to read through the menu and choose exactly what you want. If you need more information about a certain dish or drink, your server will be available to answer any questions you may have. Once they’ve completed your order, they take it to the kitchen, where the meal is prepared. After the meal has been prepared, your server carries it out to you, and as you look at your entree, hopefully you notice that you have been given exactly what you wanted.
In Your Business: After a lead comes to your website, they expect to see something related to what your advertisement says. If your ad says I can buy your home in 7 days and your website has nothing to do with buying their home, they they will get ticked off and click the “X” button. Even if they pick up the phone and call you, they then expect to hear something related to the reason they dialed your number. If you can’t give them what they want, then it’s likely that you will be unable to convert them into a deal. The bottom line is that you need to give them a solution to their problem! You need to combine the “Right This Way” concept with the “Give Them What They Want” concept. Put this on your ad and your website because you want your client to go where you need them to go to get what they want, in order to continue on with your process.”

The Lakes At Highland Update, Baton Rouge Real Estate Market Update
http://batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ - The Lakes At Highland Update, Baton Rouge Real Estate Market Update
The Lakes At Highland Subdivision Baton Rouge Louisiana 70810
The Lakes At Highland (LAH) is a high-end residential development in the highest price zip code within the Baton Rouge marketing area. Home prices within LAH are generally in the $350K to approx. $750K range with a median sales price since 11/03/2007 of $472,000.
Solds From Within The Lakes At Highland Subdivision from 01/01/2007 to 12/31/2007 revealed:
Average Sales Price: $492,625
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $158.34
Median Sold Price: $478,250
Low Sales Price: $375,500
High Sales Price: $685,000
Average # of Days On Market: 70
# of Sales: 12
Solds From Within The Lakes At Highland Subdivision from 01/01/2008 to 01/10/2009 reveals:
Average Sales Price: $473,938
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $159.49
Median Sold Price: $498,500
Low Sales Price: $356,000
High Sales Price: $575,000
Average # of Days On Market: 42
# of Sales: 8
Therefore, based on the median sale price barometer (the barometer used by the NAR National Association of Realtors) within subdivision, the market direction appears to be increasing to remaining stable/steady. Stable/Steady was chosen as a result of the large # of competing homes on the market.
The Average Sales Price has decreased by -$18,687. This could be due to the fact that there were 2 sales in the first period in 2007 in the $655,000 to $685,000 plus range. These higher sales would have worked to skew the numbers in the second period where the sales were up to $575,000.
Median Sales Price has increased by +$20,250.
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft. has increased by +$1.15/sf.

Senate OKs $15,000 Bonus for Greater Baton Rouge Home Buyers
http://batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ – Senate OKs $15,000 Bonus for Greater Baton Rouge Home Buyers
Federal Government $15,000 Bonus Incentive
Housing could get a big boost from the latest addition to the mammoth stimulus bill working its way through Congress.
Senate legislators unanimously approved a proposal Wednesday that would allow a tax credit for home buyers of 10 percent of the value of new or existing residences, up to a $15,000 limit. Current law provides for a $7,500 tax break but only for first-time homebuyers.
“It is time to fix housing first,” said Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-G.
Isakson’s office said the proposal would cost the government an estimated $19 billion. In all, the stimulus is now topping an estimated $920 billion.
In an op-ed that appears in Thursday’s Washington Post, President Barack Obama painted a dire picture if Congress fails to move quickly to pass the stimulus bill.
“This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse,” Obama wrote in the op-ed titled, “The Action Americans Need.”
