NEW YORK — Given the ever-increasing adoption of smartphones and other mobile devices, real estate agents and brokers will need to consider their mobile strategy for 2012, according to speakers at Real Estate Connect in New York City last week.
 
Higher conversion on mobile
 
There is increasing evidence that consumers are more likely to call or email an agent about a listing from a mobile device than from a laptop or desktop computer, speakers said.
 
For example, among visitors to Realtor.com, the National Association of Realtors' official property search portal operated by Move Inc., Apple iPad users and iPhone users, respectively, are 160 percent and 300 percent more likely to contact an agent than users of desktop or laptop users, according to Realtor.com President Errol Samuelson.
 
Though desktop users continue to dwarf mobile users in terms of raw numbers, the share of mobile users is rising, constituting between 25 and 45 percent of Realtor.com's traffic during weekends, for instance. For that reason, accuracy, appearance and response times should all be considerations, according to Samuelson.
 
The accuracy of listings information is "key," he said, because "mobile is where reality meets what's in your database

Coldwell Banker Agent Represents Fannie and Freddie!

Posted in Fannie, Freddie, REO, Steamboat, Vail, Agents, Buying | Leave a comment

Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties has Agents and Brokers that specialize in REO, Foreclosures, Short Sales, and Fannie and Fredie. The Steamboat Team, consisting of Giles Howard, Greg Rudolph and Kelly Conway, represent Fannie and Freddie in the Routt County market.  Stephanie Reed in Sun Valley is a certified REO and Short Sale specialist.  Diana Meehan represent Fannie and Freddie in the Vail/Eagle markets.  I have lost count home many transactions these three have closed this year, but it is like several a week.  

Sellers looking to compete with the distressed properties out there would be well advised to contact one of these agents representing the distressed product and learn how they are selling properties in days with multiple offers.  The bottom line is that these Agents are the Agents actually selling properties.  There is NO BETTER SOURCE than Giles, Stephanie and Diana to find out why.

Buyers have learned that the best way to buy in this market is to buy the distressed, REO, Foreclosure sales, and of course, the Freddie and Fannie product.  But what is changing now is that there are more Buyers than there were before.  It used to be that a Buyer could call any old Agent and have the reasonable expectation that they would have the same basic chance of buying an REO as anyone else.  Based on multiple offers and properties selling for higher than list price, I would say those days are over.  There are only a very few elite Brokers out there that have the inside scoop on these incredible buys and it is now more important than ever that Buyers seek out an Agent or Broker that specializes in this type of product.  It gives the Buyer the best chance to learn about new properties coming on line, the best chance of crafting an acceptable offer, and can be the difference between owning and "almost" own your dream property.

For an REO/Foreclsoure and Short Sale Specialist in your area:  Call Stephanie Reed in Sun Valley at 208-622-3400, Giles Howard in Steamboat Springs at 970-879-8814, and Diana Meehan at 970-476-2113.

Todd P. Conklin and Stephanie Reed of Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties recently landed a listing that has every ski and wildlife fanatic drooling: the 80-acre Sun Valley, Idaho estate and ranch home to former World No. 1 Swedish tennis player, Mats Wilander.

 

 

The Wall Street Journal took notice today, and featured the truly spectacular home in its Private Properties section, among an exclusive collection of the nation’s top listings.
 
Wilander says that both the home and its surroundings are breathtaking and while he is sad to bid the home goodbye, he knows that someone else will fall in love with the estate and much as he and his family has.
 
With nearly every luxury amenity available, the home is also perfect for those seeking the simple things like enjoying a cup of hot cocoa by the fire. The 10,000 square-foot main house has seven bedrooms and eight and half baths, as well as endless features including a chef’s kitchen, multiple fireplaces, sauna, billiards room, gym, music room and a wine cellar. Outside facilities include a pond, ice rink, lap pool, hot tub, patios and a guest house.
 
To take a tour of the Mats Wilander Listing in Sun Valley call Stephanie Reed or Todd Conklin @ (208) 622-3400

Tennis Champ Sells Sun Valley Estate

Location: Sun Valley, Idaho
Price: $5,900,000
The Skinny: When Swedish tennis champ Mats Wilander and his wife discovered that Idaho's mountain air would help assuage their son's skin condition, the couple purchased an 81-acre ranch and moved the family from Greenwich, Conn. to one of the country's oldest ski areas, Sun Valley. Wilander, who gained notoriety as a commentator after saying Federer had "no balls" in a 2006 defeat to Nadal, built this 10,000-square-foot, seven-bed, 8.5-bath mansion on the property, along with a two-bed guest house and a caretaker's residence. Remarkably, there doesn't seem to be a tennis court on the property, though a sauna, billiards room, gym, sound proof music room, wine cellar, hot tub, and lap pool are all included in the $6M price. That's quite a hike from the $1.7M the tennis star paid for the property, but that was 15 years ago.
