Irelynn Zurflueh
And... What are we gonna talk about today,
Common Pitfalls in Real Estate
00:01:17
Irelynn Zurflueh
Max? Today we're actually going to talk about real estate. I think we should because i know with all the years of experience that you have in real estate, there are some things out there that I would love to have our listeners know and understand. So let's talk a little bit about...
00:01:32
Irelynn Zurflueh
What are some of the pitfalls that maybe be a buyer or a seller run into when it comes to listing or buying real estate?
00:01:43
Irelynn Zurflueh
Well, there's all kinds of pitfalls. One thing to note is that nationwide, we are at higher cancellation rates than we've ever been at before. So we're canceling more escrows than we have ever done in history.
00:01:58
Irelynn Zurflueh
You know why i think that is Why do you think that is? Inspectors. Well, there's certain I have no data for that. That is just totally Jenny McKenna's opinion. It's true.
00:02:09
Irelynn Zurflueh
There are certain things during the escrow period that can certainly put a wrench in the works. And certainly an inspection, an appraisal, loan approval, loan process, those are some of the big things. Also in Nevada, we have a lot of HOAs, so you have to be able to, a buyer has the ability to review the HOA documents, rules and regulations, even the budget. And if they don't like something about the HOA, they can cancel. within a five day period after receiving those
Credit Health and Underwriting
00:02:41
Irelynn Zurflueh
documents. So in your world right now with the the buyers that you have and the sellers that you have, what is the number one reason if you've had any in the last four months cancel? What's that? What's that reason that's happened? We've actually been pretty lucky. Knock on wood.
00:02:58
Irelynn Zurflueh
But when we do have cancellations, it usually comes down to the buyer is not able to finalize their loan approval. Okay, so it's still the loan problem. is yeah then Sometimes it could be the property itself is not cannot be financed under a certain finance program, FHA. Maybe a condo can't be financed under that. Or it could be during the escrow period, the buyer has decided to purchase a car.
00:03:25
Irelynn Zurflueh
or even new furniture at RC Willie or apply for a credit card. yeah And those things can affect your credit score and can affect your credit, ah your, you know, your, your borrow ability. So you've seen that obviously you've been doing this longer than I have. You've seen people make some big mistakes as they're about to buy a house. I remember we were, I got a call from the lender five days before They were scheduled to close, super cute couple. And the lender said, I'm sorry, we cannot fund their loan. And I said, why? And it was because they had gone out and they had gone furniture shopping and getting so excited for the new property.
00:04:07
Irelynn Zurflueh
And I co had to call him into the office and tell him that because of the fact that they opened up a new line of credit and then bought things on that line of credit, their debt ratio became too high and therefore they no longer were... able to purchase the property. That was a bad conversation. So anyone listening out there with your children, with a fan family member, with just a friend, if you are in the process of wanting to buy a property, you want to freeze anything that you've got going on as far as your credit cards, spending money,
00:04:46
Irelynn Zurflueh
Amazon purchases. Amazon purchases. Yeah. You want to kind of look at yourself and because the lender's going to look at your spending habits and find out if they feel comfortable loaning you that money. And in in a lot of times, the bank owns 90% of the house or 95% of the house. Because if you're only putting 5% down, who is the majority ah equity holder?
Preparing for Closing
00:05:10
Irelynn Zurflueh
Yeah, the loan the loan company. The bank, the loan evers the loan company. The fact of the matter is people think, oh, I got i got the loan approval. I got the contract. I've done my due diligence. I've done my inspection. I like everything. The sellers have agreed to give me $500 to pay for some repairs. I'm good to go. What many people might not understand is that two days before a property closes, the lender runs everything through underwriting again. yep Final underwriting review.
00:05:38
Irelynn Zurflueh
that can be a deadly time yeah because anything you've done in that period is going to come up. And then the lender goes, Oh my gosh, what happened? What's this new, what's this new Benz I'm seeing in your credit. But anyway, so that's one thing we want to watch the credit. That's obviously and and a good agent is going to be telling their clients, particularly their buyers, Hey, you know, you be careful because we want to make sure you're still able to buy it when the time comes. So moral of the story, until you close escrow,
00:06:07
Irelynn Zurflueh
You don't really do anything thinking that you bought the house. I believe we have beat that horse to death. Well, I also want to go the other side of it. and If you're a really good real estate agent, you are educating your seller because the seller is going to think the exact same thing that the buyer just thought. They've got this loan, the home inspection's been done, they've agreed to whatever they've agreed upon. Basically, I'm gonna pack up my house and I'm ready for the closing.
00:06:34
Irelynn Zurflueh
But the seller needs to realize as well, that 48 hours before that funding, that buyer's credit is going to have an underwriting ah approval or need underwriting approval. Because maybe it ain't over till it's over. yeah over Many at times I've called a seller and I've had to say, hey, just want to give you a heads up. The buyers are asking for an extension because their loan has been sent back to underwriting and they've got some issues. yeah Or the buyer's lender has informed us that, yeah,
00:07:05
Irelynn Zurflueh
These people can't buy the house. It's the worst call to make. And if I have given them a little heads up that this could possibly happen, it's not over till it's over. Have that conversation. Then um um it's a much better phone conversation. So what do you do when a seller needs to literally be out of the property at the time of the close of escrow, but doesn't really want to do all of the U-Haul and the moving and all that kind of stuff until the house is actually sold? What's a way to help your seller? accomplish what they want and then still not be, ah you know, jump the gun. It's entirely circumstantial. Most sellers already have a plan in place of where they're going to go. They may already have the next house. They might they might be moving out of state and they've already made arrangements. So many times it doesn't matter. Many times if you call a seller and say, we're not going close tomorrow, might be next week. They'll be like, okay, I'm i'm in Indiana. So that's fine. Keep me posted. They've already moved. So it's not that big of a deal. I don't worry too much about that. Now, obviously we get into situations where somebody has sold their house and they plan to buy a new house with the funds from that house.
00:08:09
Irelynn Zurflueh
So you get contingencies, contingent upon sale of their existing home. So sometimes that can really muck up the works. Yeah. Yeah. And what what I find valuable as a real estate agent, as a professional is to just always be in contact with the buyer's lender. and the escrow company and make sure, hey, are we good? I'll check in every two days or so as we're when we're about two weeks away just to make sure, do you need anything else from the seller? They're not waiting on us.
00:08:34
Irelynn Zurflueh
Is everything okay on the buyer's side? You just got to keep people
Communication in Real Estate
00:08:37
Irelynn Zurflueh
informed. So if I am starting the process of wanting to buy a home, condo or townhome, One of the things that I think would be something to look for is good communication with the realtor that you're working with. Because if they've got good communication skills at the time that you guys are setting appointments, looking at properties, getting answers to questions that you might have, that's an indication that they're probably going to be pretty good during the escrow period. So is that something, Max, that you would want to really interview a real estate agent as far as
00:09:12
Irelynn Zurflueh
making sure that that communication skill is good? Yeah, I think you can interview them, but you also want to set a standard or an expectation with your agent and me as an agent with my buyer a seller. How often do you want to be communicated with? You know, if you're a listing, do you want us to call you a week once a week, once every two weeks? You know, each person wants a different type of handling, right? But if you're a buyer, I think you want to, and if it's your first time, i think you want to be extra aggressive with your agent once you pick them to say, Hey, I need to know what's going on. I've never done this before. What sometimes agents forget is I've probably been involved in a thousand escrows by now.
00:09:51
Irelynn Zurflueh
So for me, it's nothing new, right but for the person who's buying their first home, they don't have no idea what's going on. You what I mean? So our job as agents is to always end the conversation with, here's what's going to happen next. That's a great way to do what's going happen next. Hey, we got the repair request figured out. Here's going to happen next. The appraisal should be completed in three days. And we'll as long as that's okay, then we'll move to the next steps. But I'll be calling you to let you know what's going on with that.
00:10:17
Irelynn Zurflueh
So now tell me another hiccup that can happen in the world of the escrow. Before we do that, we should also mention that communicating is different than it was when you were an agent or when I was the first an agent 20 years ago. Right now, you have phone people like the phone, people like the email, people like text texting, people like Facebook Messenger. So you got to understand what your client, how they want to communicate. And if you're a buyer or ah a seller, tell your tell your agent, I like to communicate via text. I like to communicate via email. Do you ever, if somebody says, Hey Max, I like to communicate Facebook DM, but you're normally don't do that. You're normally text email. Do you change your communication style to appease your client or do you explain to your client, this is what we're going to do? No, no. Change to theirs. Okay. Customer's is always right. oh That's how they want to communicate. That's how we communicate. So that's a good indication if you're interviewing a real estate agent to ask that question. supposed do we go do Are you going to have a problem if I want to communicate via Instagram, Snapchat?
00:11:24
Irelynn Zurflueh
But like when we have a property, myself and my executive assistant, Emily and the sellers, we create group text right away. We name the group text in our phone, the name of the property. And that's how we communicate a lot of times with our with our ah
The Importance of Representation
00:11:37
Irelynn Zurflueh
our sellers. So you like the text idea. That makes sense. I like it. That's convenient. Well, and it means everybody is on that text, which everybody gets to see what's exactly going on. That's a good idea. So listen, when you are interviewing real estate agents, make sure so so important communication throughout the entire process from the day you meet that realtor all the way until the closing. Cause if not, then you're going to be left in the dark and being left in the dark just really makes you nervous.
00:12:04
Irelynn Zurflueh
I remember the first time we I bought a property. This was before I was married to Max. My dad is a real estate agent. He was on vacation. So a couple of things happened while he was on vacation. I knew nothing and I felt so stupid. So I can relate to you need somebody to explain to you exactly what is happening within that escrow period. absolutely So give me another pitfall.
00:12:30
Irelynn Zurflueh
Well, you like to focus on them pitfalls, huh? I because then we'll talk at the end. Well, I just listed a property today, cute little place, and I got a text from somebody who had seen it on Zillow. Oh, cool. said, hey, I'd like to see this property. Okay. Now, obviously, we got a lot of AI stuff lately. We got bots. We
Home Inspections and Negotiations
00:12:47
Irelynn Zurflueh
got people just texting... people that aren't even people are texting you. So the first thing we do is when we get that text is we go, ah our broker requires a copy of an ID, proof of funds, pre-approval, and then we can make arrangements to show it to you. Also, do you have an agent or do you want to be an unrepresented buyer? Sometimes we are listing sell to unrepresented buyers, which is fine. I'm just bringing it up because there's so many different scenarios in how a transaction will go through.
00:13:14
Irelynn Zurflueh
But if you want to go back to pitfalls, one of your bigger ones is always going be. Well, I'm going to ask you is that was that text a real person or was it a bot? an It was It real person. We went through a whole phone conversation. said, do you have an agent? No, I don't. I said, do you want to be an unrepresented buyer or do you want representation? She said, I want to be an unrepresented buyer. I said, great. Send me proof of funds and we can make arrangements to show you the property. And she said, maybe I'll go find another agent, be represented.
00:13:39
Irelynn Zurflueh
Oh, okay, because she realized, uh-oh, I just started this and now I'm realizing. I want to be an unrepresented buyer. Yeah, maybe it it is a little bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be. The state of Nevada is one one of the few states where you can actually, an agent can represent both parties as long as both parties agree to it. So a lot of times we'll sell our listings to buyers that we also represent.
00:13:59
Irelynn Zurflueh
So dual listing or was it dual agency? Some people don't do it because it's liability, but from my perspective, I feel like I'm a pretty good agent. And if I can bring a buyer who I can represent and I can also guide them through process, it's actually going benefit my seller. Well, and whenever I was talking about dual agency with my sellers, I said the same thing. I know your property better than anyone that would just be walking in. I understand your circumstances better. So if you're okay with it, Mr. and Mrs. Seller, you would probably be, know, me bringing in a buyer isn't going to be a conflict of interest for you. Of course, they have to agree to it and they have to sign a document saying they're okay with it. But I'm along. They have to sign document. Those lines. Document that at the top of it says this represents a conflict of interest. It is. Yeah.
00:14:46
Irelynn Zurflueh
But conflict of interest sometimes are not a bad thing. Some people look at that as being a negative thing, but in reality, as long as you're, as long as you're fair and you're trustworthy. And, and you know what else? And everything is laid out on the table. As long as everything is laid out on the table and both seller and buyer can make educated decisions.
00:15:04
Irelynn Zurflueh
It's not a problem. Yeah. Okay. So what's another one? Well, yeah, You act like we're just going through the top five pitfalls of buying a house. You keep saying another word. I'm waiting for you to talk about the home inspectors. Oh, Lord. Exactly, because they are really crazy. When you go into contract, you set forth a certain number of days that will be your due diligence period, which is the time frame in which a buyer can get an inspection done, can drive by the home at night, can bring in a voodoo doctor, and a tarot card reader. They can do whatever they want. During that due diligence period, buyer can cancel escrow and get a 100% of their earnest money back. Correct. Okay. And what usually happens, the main thing that happens in that time period is a home inspection.
00:15:49
Irelynn Zurflueh
Dun, dun, dun. Jenny's favorite. yeah They hire a home inspector. The seller makes the house available. Home inspector comes in top to bottom, inspects the property and issues a inspection report to the buyer and the buyer's agent.
00:16:02
Irelynn Zurflueh
So Max, do you think that it's a good idea for a seller to get a home inspection done prior to finding a buyer, prior to putting it on the market?
00:16:14
Irelynn Zurflueh
I personally do not think it's that great of an idea. okay The only reason you'd be doing that is to say, I want to get this house perfect so nothing can go wrong. The problem with that is that the seller's inspector is not the same guy that's the buyer's inspector. right Let's say a seller has a property inspected. They found 14 things that needed to be fixed and they fixed them all. yeah So now your seller's thinking, I'm good to go. When I get a buyer, there's not going to be anything wrong. They're just not, they're going to be happy. there They won't even need an inspection. Heck, I might even share my inspection with them.
00:16:46
Irelynn Zurflueh
but ah Our broker says don't share that inspection with them. That's up to them to find out what they want to find out. And then when they bring in their inspector,
00:16:58
Irelynn Zurflueh
the inspector says, I'm going to do this inspection, but if it doesn't have anything on it, my time really isn't justified. If I say, oh, this is, this is perfect. There's no problems at all. then they're going to go, well, why am I paying you 295 bucks for an inspection?
00:17:10
Irelynn Zurflueh
So what inspectors can do, maybe tend to do is put every little thing they can find on there. Yeah. And if you're not educating your buyer, they're thinking, oh, I want all that stuff fixed. Right. Right. Or the buyer's going, oh my gosh, I'm about to buy a money pit. Right. Oh, look at all this stuff's wrong. There's a chip in the paint or there's a, you know, there's a, the door jams off a little bit. Yeah. So that's why I say, no seller, don't get one. Let the buyer who offers to buy your house for a certain amount of money, let them do their thing. We're not trying to hide anything. Let them find out for themselves and get an inspection. The problem with that is, is that
00:17:47
Irelynn Zurflueh
When they submit their repair request, sellers jaws tend to drop on the floor. And they get mad. And they get what? They get all aggravated. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I sold this house for this amount of money. These guys are getting a great deal. Why can't they understand they're getting a great deal? I'm just all sound like i'm good i'm doing a seller impersonation and I can't believe it. You know what? Just cancel the deal, Max, cancel the deal. right And what what we have to do as agents is remain calm. You know, I know agents and I know people who receive the repair request from the the buyer and they get that the agents get all up in arms. Oh my God. Oh, this is horrible. There's so many things. Probably you probably don't know.
00:18:27
Irelynn Zurflueh
But I say, calm down. Right.
Handling Repair Requests
00:18:29
Irelynn Zurflueh
Remember, this is a transaction between the buyer and the seller. Correct. It's not between us. So we take the repair request, say, here's the repair request from the buyer. How would you like to respond? I don't ever say, oh, my gosh, they sent us this horrible repair request. There's 23 things on it. I just say, here's the repair request. Mm-hmm.
00:18:47
Irelynn Zurflueh
How would you like to respond? Now they normally call me and say, what do what do you advise? And that's when we can get into a conversation. But I don't want to ever assume that the seller won't say, oh, sure, I'll just take care of all that stuff. for Or let's give them a thousand dollar credit and see what they want to do. And it's all, you know, dependent upon the market that we're in. If it's a seller's market, you won't see very, very repair requests. If it's a buyer's market where their buyers have a lot more to choose from, then that's when you're going to see a repair request that's probably over the top.
00:19:14
Irelynn Zurflueh
Gotcha. But that is a pitfall because that can end the deal. Yes. Many people dislike inspectors because they think they're there to kill the deal. So let me ask you this. um Seller gets, ah has a buyer. Buyer does a home inspection. 25 things are asked to get fixed. Seller says, no, I'm not doing that. Mm-hmm.
00:19:35
Irelynn Zurflueh
Now, on the next buyer that comes in, do you have to share with that buyer what the previous buyer's home inspector was or did or said? Or do you just start completely fresh again? Well, you know you really should disclose anything that's a major defect that you didn't know about, that that that buyer's inspection showed up.
00:19:54
Irelynn Zurflueh
you would have to redo what's called your settled real property disclosure. Here in Nevada, it's called that. It's different things in different states. But you'd want to to update that to to show anything that was big on that previous buyer's inspection. But if it was a cosmetic thing, you know, a sealed window, window still works, but it just cosmetically doesn't look right. You don't have to worry about any of that. You don't have to disclose any of that. so You can, and you know, again, the next buyer, because the...
00:20:20
Irelynn Zurflueh
The inspector, the inspection that that first buyer got, it's kind of an opinion. It's kind of a, here's what I think, here's what I see. Right. But that doesn't mean that the next buyer gets an inspection that's going to be the same. It'll be a different stuff. It'll be a different approach. Right. So we don't want to determine how the buyers are going respond. That makes sense. Now, also, Jenny, you said when they send over a repair request with 25 items on them, and then the seller says, heck no, you made it sound like that automatically cancels the deal. Right.
00:20:48
Irelynn Zurflueh
Oh, well, it doesn't automatically cancel the deal, but why don't you explain it what you can do when 25 things get sent over to do a repair? Yeah, well, what you can do is tell the seller, which I advise this sometimes, and you like it, too, because we've talked about it. Hey, you get this outrageous repair request for a bunch of cosmetic stuff or things that aren't that big of a deal.
00:21:07
Irelynn Zurflueh
And like you said, that you set the price based on what the house, how it presents itself. And the age of the house and everything So let's just repair request. Would you like to do that? Sure. So we'd send over a rejection.
00:21:17
Irelynn Zurflueh
And usually that, usually the buyer's agent and the buyer, I think on the other, I can envision their reaction. They're like, oh my gosh, what? Are they rejecting it? So that's when they start talking about, oh, maybe we went too hard. Maybe we asked for too much.
00:21:32
Irelynn Zurflueh
Let's go back and- And only take care of items one and two. When we send over that rejection or we send over a counter, you know, we can do ah a counter offer to there say, we'll fix these three things, but not those eight things. Uh-huh.
00:21:44
Irelynn Zurflueh
A lot of times before the agent has even showed it to their buyer, I'll get calls. They'll say, hey, so your seller's not willing to do the other things? I mean, buyer really wants to buy the house, but if you think they'll, can they, will they do the other thing? and Will they maybe give me some credit? i said, I don't know. We've sent you the counter offer. Right. On your repair request, present that to your buyer and let us know what they think. Right. See, but agents sometimes they get really confused about how they think they're in the transaction. They're representing, they're not in the transaction.
00:22:14
Irelynn Zurflueh
Yeah, I think that's the that's the key to this podcast is you really do want to hire a real estate agent that is calm, good with communication, understands the purpose of what their job is, which is a lot of times education and giving options, educated options. Sometimes calming, sometimes a psychiatrist, sometimes, sometimes. You're putting on the psychiatrist hat, referee, if especially if there's a divorce situation with a, with a husband and a wife that are selling a property because they're divorcing. Yeah. So there's a lot of hats. And so I think it's really important that when you are doing
00:22:52
Irelynn Zurflueh
a real estate transaction, this is
Building Long-Term Relationships
00:22:54
Irelynn Zurflueh
a lot of money. I mean, in Vegas, Southern Nevada, you're not going to really pick up anything that's much less than half a million dollars. Yeah. Medium home prices in the mid-forums. Yeah. So I really think that Finding the right realtor is so important. And then what I've always said is develop that relationship with the realtor forever. And I've been in the business since 1993. My dad was in the business since 1978. We still have clients that call us up for advice. for their children to buy property, sometimes for the grandchild to buy a property. We are so we have been around long enough to know it is about. It requires a lead based paint disclosure because it was 1970. That's correct. I just really think that it's about relationships. And if you can find that right relationship right away on the first purchase or the first sale, then that is going to make a big difference in the world of real estate. I agent matters sure. But I think we need to about another
Appraisals and Market Insights
00:23:53
Irelynn Zurflueh
pitfall.
00:23:53
Irelynn Zurflueh
What's another pitfall?
00:23:57
Irelynn Zurflueh
the appraisal. Yeah, but you know what? I, I, okay, so this is just my opinion again. There wasn't. When you buy a house and it's financed, the lender requires there to be an appraisal on the property and the appraised value cannot be lower than the sales price.
00:24:16

And there was a time where the appraisals were absolutely the hot button pitfalls. oh my gosh, we just lost another deal. i don't see it as much now. And i also think that if somebody really, really wants that home and there's a lot of upgrades in the home, but the appraiser cannot value the upgrades for everything that it is because they have to depreciate the chandelier, depreciate quartz countertop, whatever, whatever.

I still think a buyer will pay over appraisal if it's justifiable. So Jenny runs a property management company and has been doing so for like 20 years. Correct. She just doesn't know, does she folks? yeah I know for- It still happens. It happens all the time. I know it happens. Buyers are not, the first of all, every buyer's different, but we get, you know, we get offers on an FHA client, an FHA buyer who's only putting three and a half percent down. yeah They don't have the extra money. To come up above appraised value. So it's still a huge hurdle in the transaction.

And if it does appraise for lower than the sales price, we can have the buyer pay the difference, have the seller reduce the price, we can negotiate a price in between those two, or we can cancel the deal. right So really, you want an agent who they understand, going to negotiate three times. I'm going negotiate for you when we're getting the contracts and we're going to accept a contract. I'm gonna negotiate for you when you get a repair request and how you should respond to that. And I'm going to negotiate for you when we get and a low a low value on an appraisal. And I'm going to help you make sure you maximize your return.
