I have a house in Laguna Nigel which I am not listing but would like to have a realtor represent for listing it as a lease-option home. I pay 3% of the FMV when the person buys the home in the future.
Let me know if anyone here knows of one.
Thanks.

Lease option? When the market continues to go down the buyers bail.
Make sure you set a price up front and take a non-refundable deposit that is available to you up front.
Why lease option? Do they have credit probs? Let me know I can help. You have different options.

Yup I know first hand....I have to deal with a lot of them on a daily basis. There are some really good agents out there too that are a pleasure to deal with as well.

Its not a statement, Its an award...correct?
along with these
1) 100% Award = Third Level of award winning performance
2) Platinum Award = Fourth ( and highest) Level of award winning performance
3) 2002 Awarded into the REMAX Hall of Fame
I was going to stay out of this but the top 1% nation wide simply means they have made over 100 grand in one year. The average salary across the nation is $18,000 for an agent. Now the Hall of fame award means you have made over a million with the company. If you have made over a mill you probably know what you are talking about. Fyi there is a chairmans award wich is 500+ in a year and a diamond that is a mill+ in one year. Either way she is a good agent and have talked with her before a few years ago. If you feel like advertising top 1% it sounds good to the public just not to the agents. F the agents though, What ever makes the phone ring.
BTW I have all those awards and the Lifetime achivement award. Call me for the info on the lease option. It will be free.

I'm in the top 5% of Remax agents and from what I hear 1% nation wide. I've been too busy working lately to pay attention to this kind of stuff. Anyway in my humble opinion, bad timing for a lease option. Especially in the high rent district. There are currently 380+ homes on the market in RSM,MV & Laguna hills between 650-750k (Median Price). Good luck.

Dan,
I'm not so sure I'd take even free advice from a guy who has an easter egg colored boat.

Why lease option? Do they have credit probs? Let me know I can help. You have different options.
It's about buying with enough equity spread, granted and selling at today's FMV. I hold my leases now for 5-7 years with what is going to be happening in the next 3-5 years. I expect a 25-30% drop and you can quote me on that in 3 years from now.
Lease options work out well for many people cause htere credit sucks, their payments would be too high if they got a loan on their own, and it moves them into a home where they will "hopefully" be able to purchase the house and create their own equity.
...gringo is a pro-lease op'r! 3% on a home that will be worth 60% less in a few years when the housing market bubble bursts
I don't think I made myself clear... actually, I know I didn't...lol
I pay realtors 3% if they bring me a home that someone needs out of and can't sell but are willing to sell "subject to". One percent up front (at close) and 1% over the term of the lease agreement and 1% when the leasee gets financed.
You get to complete a transaction that NOBODY else in the field is doing and getting compensated for it. On a deal where this would most likely occur you have the option to do it as above (or anyway you can work it really) or do nothing at all with it and get paid nothing at all. Seems once you get a few of these under your belt as a realtor (which should be really easy btw) you will have a real nice cash flow coming in every single month for doing no further work.
In my opinion, I would think that all agents would want to jump on this. I guess I haven't developed the mindset of working with preapproved buyers and traditional sellers though.
Of course you will still have your regular sales and listings but this would just be the icing on the cake to be able to help everyone who wants out of their house now.
What I didn't make clear was this...
I pay a referral fee of $1500 for a realtor to find me a lease-option person who makes the money but couldn't get a rate that would qualify him appropriately.
The 3% is when I buy from a realtor. MY BAD, I msut have been smoking something last night.

Thats better!! I made a lot of money in the mid 90's that way!! Problem is finding the (subject to) with positive cash flow. Mabe the rents are much higher by you. Next problem is finding the agent that won't keep it themselves. I would pay anyone 3% up front for delivering one to me. Good luck. There should be many people willing to do that soon.

My brother is an agent out there. He lives in the area too. You wouldn't be disappointed I'm sure. Not just saying that because he is my bro. He handled my purchase. He's straight up. No BS. PM me if you want some info. :rollside: Good luck.
