| F.A.Q. |
| |
Q:
Who is the Schoenfield Team?
A: We are a team of FIVE
real estate professionals, (4 licensed Realtors and 1 administrative
aide) dedicated to the highest possible standards and service.
|
| |
Q:
What other real estate related services do you offer?
A: We provide Buyer's Agency
representation, real estate fee based consulting, leased property
rental management, BPO and REO services.
|
| |
Q:
What's the big deal about Buyer's Agency?
A: Historically, real estate
agents always worked for the seller, never having an obligation
to the buyer. Now, Tennessee law offers real estate agents the
opportunity to represent the interests of the Buyer in their
purchase of real estate. For details, click here http://www.gatlinburg-homes.com/buyersagency2.asp.
|
| |
Q:
Can you help me secure a rental residence to live in?
A: We do manage a limited
number of leased rental properties, please email or call us
for details.
|
| |
Q:
Where can I get complete information about ALL properties currently
for sale in the Sevier County area?
A: You can perform a live search of ALL properties listed by
the Great Smoky Mountain Association of Realtors at our sister
site, http://gatlinburg-real-estate-listings.com.
|
| |
Q:
Can I rent a chalet or cabin through RE/MAX All Pro, Realtors?
A: No, we don't offer rental
management for overnight rental properties at this time.
|
| |
Q:
I'm a potential property Seller - What level of success has
the Schoenfield Team attained?
A: Jeff Schoenfield consistently
is the number one agent in the county, (out of well over 300
members of our local board), serving over 100 families in 2003! The Schoenfield Team as a whole
has many more transactions, and is the number one selling real
estate team in the county this year. Jeff's resume is available
for your review HERE.
|
| |
Q:
What is an overnight rental property?
A: A chalet or cabin that
is offered as a vacation rental on a short term (nightly) basis.
Houses have been offered in this way in Sevier County since
shortly after the creation of the Great Smoky Mountain National
Park, in 1934.
|
| |
Q:
What percentage of the property's gross income does the rental
management company keep?
A: The typical split is
60/40%, with the larger portion going to the homeowner.
|
| |
Q:
Do overnight rental properties really pay for themselves?
A: Each property is different,
and there are no guarantees, but a good rental property, in
a good rental location, managed by a professional management
company can do very well.
|
| |
Q:
What is your definition of very well?
A: Some rental properties
in the Smokies can rent at a 75% occupancy rate, although this
is not typical of all rentals here. A good house should rent
in the neighborhood of 200 nights a year or more.
|
| |
Q:
What rental companies do you suggest to manage my overnight
rental property?
A: We can recommend several,
including Jackson Mountain Rentals, Mountain Valley Properties,
and Resort Chalet Rentals.
|
| |
Q:
What features are essential to the success of an overnight rental
property?
A: Convenient location,
newer construction, full package of amenities including view
or seclusion, hot-tub, pool table, jetted indoor tub (Jacuzzi
or similar). Log or log-look construction is a real plus as
well.
|
| |
Q:
Are most properties sold furnished? What do I need to plan on
buying?
A: Most homes/condos ARE
sold fully furnished, but with most companies you will need
to supply 2 sets of linens.
|
| |
Q:
Do you recommend that I get a mortgage locally, or in my hometown?
A: It is usually easier
to get a loan locally, as many banks cannot lend outside of
their home area. Also, the local lenders know the appraisers,
the surveyors, etc.
|
| |
Q:
Can you recommend service providers (lenders, title companies,
home inspectors, etc.)?
A: Yes, we have a page of
recommended service companies on our site at http://gatlinburg-homes.com/AffiliateServices.asp.
|
| |
Q:
Where is your office located?
A:510 Ski Mountain Rd., Suite 4, Gatlinburg.
|
| |
Q:
Do I need an appointment, or can I just "walk-in"?
A: Yes, we work by appointment
only, and wouldn't want you to waste a trip because we are already
working with someone else that day.
