PLANO, Texas - April 8, 2013 - PRLog -- “In recent years the first quarter has always been the slowest period of the year,” notes Mark Wolfe, president of RE/MAX DFW Associates.  “If the current trend continues, then we expect to close between $1.4 and $1.5 billion in 2013.   That would be a record accomplishment for our 250 agents.”

All signs indicate that homes will be in strong demand the remainder of the year.    The recently released S&P/Case-Shiller report showed Dallas market home values increased seven percent last year.  Further, various economists point to the stats, employment and increasing demand in the Dallas area, and predict that home values could increase almost 10 percent this year.

“We are seeing significant price increases,” notes Wolfe.  “In one of our area markets nearly 60 percent of all homes sold in February between the price of $220,000 to $350,000 went above list price, and with a significant number paying additional cash so as to avoid appraisal issues.   I have never seen this “California-style” real estate market in Texas.

The company recently concluded advanced multiple offer training with approximately 170 agents attending numerous sessions.    The course dealt with an assortment of techniques in buyer agents writing offers, and with listing agents presenting and negotiating offers to their sellers.  “I presented various forms to assist in submitting, presenting and negotiating multiple offers,” said Wolfe.  “The material consisted of detailed explanation of the following forms: “Escalation Clause,”  “Notice to Buyer Clients of Multiple Offers,”, “Multiple Offer Procedure,” and the “Seller’s Invitation to Buyer to Present New Offer.”    The class was greatly appreciated by our agents, and we had dozens of what-if type questions.  I think our group left the meeting with a clear understanding in how best to protect their client in multiple offer negotiations.”

RE/MAX DFW Associates is the largest RE/MAX franchise in the southwestern part of the United States.   The firm has six offices: Coppell, Flower Mound, Frisco, Las Colinas/Valley Ranch, Plano Stonebriar and Willow Bend.     The company is noted for the strong sales production of its agents, with the average agent in 2012 closing $4.1 million in sales volume.   Visit the firm’s website at For more information go to www.YourHomeTownPro.com or the company’s Facebook page at facebook.com/RMDFW.
