About Me

I am a local full time Lexington, KY Real Estate professional, Realtor, and a real estate investor and builder. I specialize in buyers and sellers of course, especially relocations and investment property. I have a bachelor�s degree in business with a specialty in real estate which separates me from most other agents in the area. I live in Lexington with my family and have a reputation for telling it like it is which I believe my clients respect. Most of my business is from repeat clients and referrals from them; however I am always looking to gain new repeat clients. I customize my approach to each client to work on their terms, but always to get the job done as quick and easy as possible, with at the best possible service and least amount of hassle possible to get you the best deal possible for you. I am available anytime to my clients by phone, email, or in person and make every effort to answer my phone every time, or at least I will return your call quickly as physically possible.

We are looking at a property and do not currently have a real estate agent. Is there any advantage to having?

Asked Sat May 10 2008, 08:12 by Cn - Edgewood - Home Buying - 4 answers

Ty Brown answered:

The commission that the agent is getting should be the least of your concerns. Think of it this way, who is paying the listing agents commission? Who has that agent been meeting with and trying to sell for for the last x amount of time? That's right the seller, not you. True there are responsibilities the agent has to both sides, and ma y agents do a very fair job of representing both sides in a dual gaency deal, but why would you as the buyer want to do that? Especially since most of the time using an agent as a buyer is at no cost to you because their fee is built in to the sales price in the commission already agreed to in the listing contract. Someone is going to get it, might as well be the person working for you. This is not to mention the numerous benefits of having a professional on your side and working for your interests would actually get you. Pricing, negotiating, evaluating the home, contractual, and simply making sure you do everything possible to protect your interests through and after the closing. - Sat May 10 2008, 08:49

What is your Realtor required to do to plan an auction? I would like every deatial that you can give me

Asked Tue Apr 29 2008, 13:41 by Fran Kuykend… - 42602 - Home Selling - 2 answers

Ty Brown answered:

I usually refer the client to an auctioneer or two that I am familiar with, then allow the seller to interview and choose the one they prefer, then assist them with the advertising and with anything they need the day of the auction. Afterall the Realtor typically keeps it listed up until the auction and can sell it before the auction. However every Realtor and auctioneer are different and may have their own customs and preferences. An auction has its own contractual agreements, and I assist my client from the beginning to make sure they understand the process and what they are doing and make sure it is in their best interest. - Tue Apr 29 2008, 18:57

how do you buy foreclosed homes at auction?

Asked Fri Mar 7 2008, 17:26 by Jill - Seattle - Foreclosure - 13 answers

Ty Brown answered:

Auctions are risky unless you really know what you are doing, and take the time to check out the property. You buy it "as is where is" most of the time, meaning you bought it no matter what may be wrong or not wrong with it. In our town at least the auction homes are listed on the master commissioner website for the public to see well in advance of the auction. However you have no right nor does the person living there have to allow you, to see the property beforehand. It is trespassing. I found that 1. Buying them before the auction if possible which also has its pitfalls and issues, or 2. Wait until it sells and often the lender buys it back and lists it with a REO listing agent, then it is treated more like any listing you can with your own agent or the listing agent go in and view it, inspect it, and hopefully make an more safe and informed decision. But the risk/reward ration may be not as attractive this way. - Tue Mar 18 2008, 15:38

capital gains?

Asked Tue Mar 18 2008, 11:18 by Ali - Kentucky - Financing - 6 answers

Ty Brown answered:

Call a CPA but sounds like you need to wait, if your are like most of the country it may be 6 months before it sells anyway...plus unless you have a real deal you may not have much actual capital gain... you can always negotiate closing dates too. - Tue Mar 18 2008, 15:31

What is your second fav place to search for properties after Trulia?

Asked Wed Mar 5 2008, 21:08 by Matt Warmack - Seattle - Agent2Agent - 5 answers

Ty Brown answered:

My local MLS. But other than that I use, even though I hate to admit it now as I am not with them any longer, REMAX.net, to search out of town properties. Yahoo and Google are also good tools I have found. - Thu Mar 6 2008, 09:52
