Buying and Selling Homes in Las Vegas & Henderson for Three Decades
Keep your emotions out of it
Hi, my name is John Common. I have been buying and selling various different kinds of real estate since 1987. My first deal was some land on Mercer Island, which is on the outskirts of Seattle, Washington. It’s an island in the middle of Lake Washington known by the locals as snob rock. The plot of land, shape like a slice of pieIt on hill right on the shoreline. I was buying cash directly from the owner for $60,000. The goal was to build a family home. I was paying all cash with no contingencies EMD (earnest money deposit) of $20,000, and had a 90 day close.. After the first 30 days, I received an offer of $120,000. This was in 1987. What does it take to make $60,000 in less than two months? So I took the deal. I made a quick $60,000. This was my introduction to Real Estate and I never looked back. Over the years I’ve purchased commercial office buildings, multifamily residential and a lot of single-family homes which I have flipped. What’s interesting with every single transaction you’re normally faced with a new challenge. And when you take care of so many challenges, you actually become this compendium dictionary of sorts what to do in any given situation.
Logic should prevail
if the numbers didn’t work, they didn’t work. What I’ve noticed over the years is so many people become emotionally involved when you become emotionally involved all kinds of illogical decisions I’ve seen people to try to make them fit specific outcome outcome. During the real estate and bank debacle crash. Of 2006 through 2014. I had a practice putting in offers for Homes sight unseen. Once I got the property on the contract that’s when I would go and view it when you have a property on the contract you control the property. The only reason you would walk the properties to make sure that you didn’t overlook and expensive challenge site, unseen, keep emotion out of it and more importantly if the numbers don’t fit, the numbers don’t fit. Of course ownership does have some elements of emotion involved in the decision-making process, such a street appeal or a great kitchen. The problem with this, however it does not necessarily equate directly into dollars and cents. Not such a large amount to make a difference in profitability. Yes you can talk to some egghead realtors. Who will tell you that the right bathroom the right kitchen will add X thousand of dollars in value. My experience has been if you have a horrible master bedroom bathroom and kitchen. You’re just discounting the property and it’s gonna take longer for it to sell and you definitely are not gonna get top dollar.
Just talk to people who’ve been trying to sell their homes for years!
I’ve spoken to many homeowners who put their houses on the market multiple times over multiple years. The final conclusion they all came to was that they were trying to sell their house for too much money! Normally asking for too much money for your home is emotional and egotistical, luckily the marketplace rules the property remains unsold until the seller comes to their sensed
