Planning to be your own agent? Think again...

With so much information readily available online, many people are under the mistaken impression that all one has to do to sell a property is find a buyer who is ready, willing and able to buy. Finding the buyer for a property in today’s buyer’s market is only half of the battle. The actual job begins after you find one. You have to then sure that the deal does not fall apart due to unforeseen circumstances before it gets to the closing table. So is there a need of a real estate agent? Yes definitely there is, not because of one but several reasons.

Real Estate Agent 

Does the seller really know how to ascertain whether the offer and/or the buyer is a good one? Making an “acceptable” purchase offer is much more than about the money the buyer agrees to pay for the property. You don't need to know everything about buying and selling real estate if you hire a real estate professional who does. Why not hire a person with more education and experience than you? The trick is to find the right person.  Agents take the spam out of your property showings and visits. Agents know what the current trend is. They know your neighborhood and the best prices for sellers and buyers. When you buy a property, you look for all the complementary aspects as well. For example, before buying a house, you tend to look at the neighborhood schools, market place, demographics, crime rate and other such important aspects. In this case, agents play an important role for both buyers and sellers.

Contrary to what some people believe, agents do not select prices for sellers or buyers. However, an agent will help to guide clients to make the right choices for themselves. What they do is to device a negotiation strategy based on market supply, demand and the conditions.  Real estate agents network with other professionals, many of whom provide services that you will need to buy or sell. With experience and time in the market, they are the best people to guide you and references with whom they have worked and provide background information to help you make a wise selection.

Top producing agents negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, they can remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction and because they are skilled. Soon after closing, many questions can pop up that were overlooked in the excitement of closing. Here, agents stand by ready to assist.

An agent’s success and continued career in real estate is referrals.  C It is probably the best option to choose. After all you don’t buy or sell property every day.

What is in store for Real Estate in 2013?

Anyone who has had a look into this sector over the past decade will predict almost the same as what we say here because real estate has grown in leaps and bounds when comes to costs, purchases, sales and prices. The trend has not withered over time and has in fact become stronger.

Real Estate Business

For the coming year 2013, we expect mostly the same. There are hopes of growth in the real estate sector, mainly due to the government’s positive approach towards reforms and moderation of interest rates, experts say.

Land acquisition and real estate regulation bills are expected to be passed during the year, while there is a likelihood of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) bringing down the interest rates.  The passage of FDI in multi-brand retail by the government shows its seriousness on introducing reforms. RBI can be expected to lower interest rates in the coming months which will benefit developers as well as consumers.

 Residential prices, which have been increasing over the past few years, are likely to witness subdued growth in most markets in a short to medium term till the pressures of unsold inventory are eased out.

 Finance minister P Chidambaram had recently asked the developers to sell their unsold inventory at a lower price.  Besides, infrastructure initiatives such as Greater Noida metro rail network and proposed metro link in north-west Bangalore are likely to have a positive impact on the residential market of these cities.

 FDI in multi-brand retail will also boost the demand for commercial real estate.  Apart from the international brands, several domestic brands are also exploring opportunities to increase their foot prints across the country.  According to Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), major cities like Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata, will see the addition of close to 9.5 million sq ft of mall space in 2013.

 The primary reason is that a sizable amount of supply that was expected to reach completion in 2012 has been being pushed to 2013. While Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai will together contribute 70 per cent of the total retail space absorption, cities like Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata will account for the remaining 30 per cent.

 Further, the ongoing policy reforms are expected to provide some cushion to corporates who are likely to execute their expansion plans in near future.  Demand for officespace is expected to be broad-based and not restricted to IT-ITeS and banking sectors. However, even as leasing activity performs relatively well, rentals are expected to remain stable.

 According to JLL, cities including Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune will witness commercial corporate property transactions focused on their own occupancy needs.

On the whole, we can expect 2013 to bring a larger-than-usual number of NRI investors into the commercial space arena. This is because NRIs are currently enthused by the prevailing exchange rate benefits and the fact that commercial real estate capital values are still 15-25 per cent under their 2007-08 peak levels.

So, if you are to make some investments this year then get real estate on your list cause this is better than gold, it’s a gold mine. Prices are set to rise and so are the benefits to the early birds.

Real Estate Investment: A healthy choice

It is common for investors to own multiple pieces of real estate, one of which serves as a primary residence, while the others are used to generate rental income and profits through price appreciation. For many people, real estate is the easiest to understand investment because it is simple, straight-forward and involves a fair exchange between a property owner (the landlord) and the property user (the renter).  As long as the hot water keeps flowing and the rent arrives on time, everyone is happy and benefits.  Investing in real estate is much more complex than this, though, because there are several different types of real estate investments including residential, commercial, and industrial, as well as real estate that trades on stock exchanges, which are called REITs.

Investment in Real Estate

Investment inreal estate has been booming as a top investment phenomenon to multiply the wealth. India Real Estate Investment has proven to be the highest yielding investment opportunity in the recent few years. The realty industry in India is at its zenith and is thereby attracting the maximum investment not just locally but overseas too.

However, there are various factors which initiate the investors to invest in real estate. Most important factors are better return and tax benefits. Real estate sector gives higher attractive returns as compare to the stocks and bonds. Also, one can avail huge tax benefits on investing in real estate. According to the report of the Technical Group on Estimation of Housing Shortage, there is an estimated shortage of 26.53 million houses during the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12), which indicates the huge demand for the residential property in future and provides a big investment opportunity for the investors. This is another major reason to invest in this booming industry.

Many Banks and Financial Institutions like HDFC Property Fund, Dewan Housing Finance Limited-DHFL Venture Capital Fund, Kotak Mahindra Realty Fund, Kshitij Venture Capital Fund (A group venture of Pantaloon Retail India Ltd) and India Advantage Fund (ICICI), provide the funds for real estate development to the Builders and Developers for construction of these structures and to the investors. Therefore the funding becomes lot easier. Along with this there is more cash flow and value appreciation in the real estate investment.

The most important factor that has been a major factor for the growth of real estate and investment are the initiatives taken by the government. A major share of the FDI or the foreign direct investments is tailored to the Indian real estate sector these days. The Indian government is also putting in more money in real estate and many old regulations have been fine tuned to attract more money into the sector. The property tax act, the rent control system, land ceiling regulations have also been updated and made more investor friendly for people wanting to put their money into real estate. Along with domestic laws, the foreign exchange regulation act has also been made more liberal to get more people from aboard into Indian real estate buying, selling and investing.

These all factors indicate that real estate sector would be the hottest sector from the investment point of view.
