Posted by David Chang on with 0 Comment

As a real estate agent it can be hard to please your clients. From zoning issues to non-negotiable prices, it is difficult to achieve what your client desires. However, Chang Legal is here to help you with the top sales tips for real estate agents, including the following:

Be Helpful

As a real estate agent, your client is going to you first if there is an issue or concern. Always having a positive mindset with the willingness to help others will keep you as the number one resource for help.

Be Persistent, Not Annoying

One thing that clients dislike most is when a real estate agent is overly persistent. However, keeping in constant communication and setting dates to meet is essential to close a sale.

Be Honest

Although you want to be the best you can be for each and every one of your clients, you don’t have all the answers. In real estate, your greatest asset is your reputation, don’t pretend to know the answer to every question. Reassure your client that you will find the answer and take action.

Advertise Your Name/Brand

Nobody knows who you are until you put yourself out there. The sales are not waiting for you. If you invest money into advertising, you will make a profit back once clients know what your company has to offer.

Recognizing Why Location Matters With Your Home Insurance

Posted by David Chang on with 0 Comment

In the world of real estate, location is known to have an effect on the market price of houses. Location does not only affect the value of a home, but can also impact the rate of your home insurance.

There is a range of factors that determine your insurance rate, one actually being the risk level of your home. Insurers look at what level of danger your home could be in depending on its location, and the approximate cost it would be to repair your home if a disaster were to occur.

The Influence State Regulations and Construction Costs have on Replacement Costs

  • Each state has their unique set of regulations that impact the marketplace
  • Insurers in different states take many things into consideration, like what types of construction materials and methods of construction are needed to rebuild your home
  • Some states are more expensive to build in than others, which can influence the rate of your homeowner’s insurance

The Impact from Higher Risks of Severe Weather and Natural Disasters

  • High-risk areas call for higher homeowner’s insurance rates
  • If you live in a location that is known to have higher risks of tornadoes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters, you will most likely have more expensive rates
  • Areas with little to no risk of severe weather will have more reasonable rates, due to there being a low likelihood of your house being damaged

How your Accessibility to Protection Makes a Difference

  • It is beneficial for you to live in a location that is nearby a fire station
  • Insurers see you as being in better protection if you are located in a neighborhood with a fire station at least a quarter mile away from your home
  • Not living near a fire station is viewed as not having quick access to protection, and will result in less favorable rates
