REAL ESTATE TIPS
By Cy Jordan - R •saltor
You want to sell, but don't know:
Should you "option your property" or "list" it to sell with a licensed real estate bro
ker? Let's take a look at the pros and cons:
If you give or sell an option to Mr. Always A. Smoothtalker, it is visually at a price
Mr. "S. " has named as being reasonable. Chances are that the price he writes into the
option is gyping you out of 3094 - 5094 of what he feels he can resell the property for—
and resell is what he usually has in mind, regardless of his open eyed statements to the
contrary.
Do you know that when you give someone a binding option that in essence you have
actually sold the property; that you can't change you mind; that you must sell a r cording
to the terms and conditions of the option if A. A. Smoothtalker decides to buy? Or he
may, if the option is assignable (and chances are, it is) resell your option to a third party
you don't even ktpow and the third party can force you to sell - whether you want to or
not. '
If the option is drawn up properly and in a form that is recordable, it may_be_record
ed and can establish a "cloud" on your title that can lose a legitimate purchaser for your
property even after the option has expired.
Options are a heads you lose - tails "always A. A. Smoothtalker" wins proposition.
He ties up your property so you can't move and he doesn't have to promise a thing - he
doesn't have to advertise, keep an office open, show your property, or even make any
sales effort whatsoever. But you are nailed into a box that you can't get out of.
Contrast that with the services of a reputable licensed broker -a Realtor, Mr. Active
Effort. His license is issued by the State after he has passed a very rigorous exam. To
pass the 'exam, he has either taken a lengthy real estate course or courses (some states
now require a college degree) and/or served an apprenticeship of a year or more as a
salesman with another broker. As a Realtor, he is committed ethically to continuing his
real estate education throughout his professional lifetime.
Mr. Effort will "list" your property for sale on a form which is usually printed and
which contains all the terms and conditions required of both parties. Mr. Effort will ap
praise your property, usually suggesting a sales price based on recent sales of similar pro
perties in the area. He wants to sell your property for the highest price he can get be
cause he is employed by you - he represents you -he is your agent!
Mr. Effort can not legally or ethically offer your property at a higher price than is sta
ted in the listing agreement - he can't and won't put a "little extra" in his pocket over
and above the commission. u
By the terms of his listing agreement, Mr. Effort must use his "best means" of attemp
ting to find a Buyer, ready, willing, and able to purchase on your terms and conditions.
He may obligate himself to spend certain amounts in classified advertising, or signs, or
direct mail campaign. He may agree to "open house" showings. All at his expense -
not yours. .0 I
■ And you don't owe him a dirqe until he brings you that Buyer - ready, willing, and
able to purchase. -=f *
,
Further, if you change your mind, Mr. Effort will allow you to canCelryour listing
upon suitable notice and conditions - prior to receipt of an acceptable offer.
Effort's office is usually open five or six days a week. He usually has at least a Ml
time office girl and one or two salesmen - even in the smallest towns. The only thing
he has to sell is honest, competent service based on a thorough knowledge of real estate
in your area. He's not interested in "stealing" your property - he's interested in get
ting you top dollar.
Who do you want to deal with - Always A. Smoothtalker-or Active Effort?
Note! On occasion an Option is a useM tool for purposes other than described here.
If you are asked to give or sell an Option - see your attorney before agreeing to it, 0£
signing it.
