how to find the number of home sell within zipcode ?

Hello Huy, To find homes within a zip code:Log into HAR, matrix, quick search. about the middle of the page under the blue "location information" box is a field for "zip code,"fill in- you will see on the bottom left how many homes fit the search criteria. If too many, add other serach criteria to narrow. Then click blue "results" button at the bottom left to see a list of all homes. Hope that helps. HAR offers a Matrix webinar that is helpful. We also offer many trainings under har.com/education. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

I am about to list a house and the sellers have finished an area that was not originally included by the appraisal district when the house was built. This will be a high dollar transaction, and the difference in square ft will add well over $100,000 to the price. Has anyone hired a company to verify / validate / document the square footage of a house? Any suggestions or recommendations?

Hey David, Great Question. I'd suggest hiring a professional appraiser to get an official measurement. Its important not to rely on your own measurements, as that can lead to liability issues. If you want to help a bit more in regards to helping a client (or yourself) protest your property tax, you can then run a market analysis based on the new and accurate square footage you have. I hope this helps!

I did not used to be a platinum member and I could add open houses and see others.

Hey Brenda!No ma'am. At least I hope not! That would be terrible. I will provide HAR customer support at 713-629-1900. They should be able to get this resolved. Also providing a link at the bottom of this answer if you prefer not to call.

Do you need a Buyers Rep Agreement before showing new construction

In light of recent changes within the real estate industry, it's become increasingly important to use a Buyers Representation Agreement (BRA) when working with clients, especially for new construction homes in Houston or Texas, I highly recommend having one signed before beginning any home search. It establishes a clear agency relationship, protects your commission, and sets expectations for the client-agent partnership. Additionally, I strongly encourage accompanying your buyers to any new construction visits, especially if you want the builder to contribute toward your commission. Many builders require the buyer's agent to be present during the first meeting and to be the procuring cause of the visit for the agent to receive a commission. To safeguard against potential disputes, ensure your client lists your name on any registration cards when visiting model homes or builder offices. As an extra precaution, I recommend taking a picture of the completed registration card for your records. This can be invaluable in resolving any issues that may arise later. These practices not only protect your interests but also ensure that you can provide the best service to your clients while maintaining professionalism and accountability throughout the process.

Its my first time working on the Listing side of a Rental property transaction. I want to make sure I'm servicing my client and need a little assistance. Does anyone want to share their process on how they help rental listing clients on the Homeowner/listing side? Not so much how to post to MLS, but more so a todo checklist of what needs to be done and when. Thanks for your help!

Ashley, Congratulations on your listing of a rental client/homeowners property. After the listing agreement has been presented to your customer/client. The CMA is the most important document you want to review with your customer. Once your customer has signed the listing agreement, You now want to start the MLS entry.The information from the listing agreement should help you when completing the MLS data. Make sure your client is aware of all information that will be listed on MLS. I suggest taking pictures and uploading them before making the listing active. Ask your client for at least two keys to the property one for the lockbox and one for you to have in case the lockbox key is misplaced. Ask your client are there any requirements for the tenant. Review a dummy lease with your client and have a lease agreement ready once a tenant has been selected.

Should I have a home builder evaluate a lot before closing on the lot?

Great question! Yesyou should have a builder evaluate the lot before closing. In Texas, things like soil, drainage, utilities, or restrictions can add major costs. A builder can spot red flags and give you a realistic estimate so you know the lot works for your home plans before you commit.

Suggest Good school communities in woodland and cypress?

Great question! The HAR.com School Finder is one of the best tools for researching schools when buying or selling in the Houston area. To use it, go to HAR.com/school-finder or find it under Explore in the HAR app.. You can search by address, ZIP code, school name, or district, which makes it easy to see exactly which schools a home is zoned to. Once you pull up a school, youll find key information like accountability ratings from the Texas Education Agency (TEA), student-to-teacher ratios, enrollment numbers, test score data, demographics, and even nearby homes for sale or lease that are zoned to that school. You can also compare multiple schools side by side and filter by district, grade level, or rating. This tool is especially helpful for families relocating to Houston who want to ensure theyre investing in a home within a strong school zone.

One Condo (9 days) and one luxury house (3 days) has been listed. I need some expert guidelines on how to organize an open house within effective time line. Thank you

You should organize the first open house within the first week of listing, ideally on the first weekend, to create strong momentum and attract early interest while the property is still fresh on the market. Hosting multiple open housessuch as one on the first weekend and another the following week or during a weekday eveningcan help reach more potential buyers with different schedules and increase overall exposure.
