European real estate tricks

EU real estate business tricks? Liveio.com is a new real estate platform aimed at helping real estate agents and individuals to buy real estate properties in Europe. We will also talk about some real estate recommendations combined with some analysis of 2019-2020 real estate market trends in Europe.

The interesting thing here is that Brexit is something that is more inside European investors than global investors coming from places like Asia or the Americas, for example. 83% of real estate professionals believe that there will be a difference in economic growth between the UK and the EU during 2020. In fact, more than 70% believe UK’s capacity to attract international investors will decrease after the Brexit date. Even though there is also social inequity, with the lack of social housing and senior care, this won’t be the main concern during 2020. Instead, the main focus will be on affordability as the prices are going up. According to PWC Global Trends Report, almost 50% of the interviewees believe prime assets are over-priced. This issue is especially relevant in markets like Spain and Portugal where the average wages are lower. However these markets remain pretty interesting for foreign investors as the prices per m2 are still lower when compared to it’s European peers.

The commercial market is similar: either you buy in the established office and retail markets and expect a cash return of around 4–6% with limited capital gains, or you buy in recovering markets. This might include southern and central Europe, perhaps Ireland and Central Europe, and the more regional cities in European countries; and the returns could be higher though with much higher risks. The euro is currently fairly stable, 1.12 against the pound and 0.90 against the dollar as of July 2019. Properties in many countries are still essentially cheaper for foreigners, and investors could benefit if the euro suddenly strengthens. European real estate is in extremely high demand, and it’s an interesting asset class. Still, investors should not overestimate their return expectations, they should ‘be realistic and carry on’, as I like to say. See extra details Real Estate Advertising Portal.

Now let’s discuss about a few real estate tricks for agents: List on all websites! Get your listing on Liveio, Zillow, Trulia, Westside Rentals, Redfin, Craisglist and VRBO, just to name a few. Most homebuyers do their own searching online before contacting a real estate agent, so it’s best to get seen early on. Remember that someone looking at Zillow isn’t necessarily looking at Trulia or Craigslist, too. Every website you get your listing on plants another seed of growth and possibility, so use as many as you can. Quick tip: Zillow and Trulia posts should be removed and uploaded again every week. Many people disagree with me, but I think it’s worth the hassle since most phone calls come in during the first two days of a listing. Zillow and Trulia work on time-sensitive platforms that keep the most recent listings at the top, which is where you want to be. The top listings are the ones people see and call about. Make sure to respond instantly to inquiries whenever you can.

Why settle for a platform that are just mainly constructed for the private buyer? Why not also design a service that include all partys at the negotiation table? And while we’re at it – why make distinction between the market place for selling and renting out? Liveio is a platform equally designed to meet the needs of the professional broker as the house hunting private individual. Motivated by the notion that the boundaries are nonexistent we added the opportunity for agents to pinpoint and establish contact with the right clients for the real-estate in question.
