he September dinner meeting was held at Mastori’s Diner in Bordentown on September 30th. The newly renovated room was a welcomed sight by those in attendance. Over 30 people participated in the event, which was one of the more memorable seminars we have held in years. Patrick Josephs, MAI , (pictured) presented the 3-hour seminar “Analyzing Real Estate Trans- actions.” According to the presenter, in uncertain markets, it is paramount that owners, managers, brokers, appraisers and market analysts correctly interpret the data collected from real estate trans- actions. This seminar provided a step-by-step ap- proach to dissecting a transaction. Topics included analyzing marketing, sale, and ownership history; understanding the arms-length concept; primary and secondary sources of transactional data; veri- fication of transaction data including buyer, seller, date of sale, offer/acceptance date, contract date, and closing date; sales and seller concessions; financing concession; seller financing; and cash equivalency. The seminar met the following objectives: • Provided helpful tips to real estate professionals in the collection, interpretation & application of transactional data. • Demonstrated how to identify transactions that are typically considered non arms-length. • Acknowledged the importance of current and expired listings. • Showed how to dissect a real estate transaction through the verification process.
