Sharing three essential tips homeowners need to know before selling.


Are you looking to sell your home in the near future? If you are, you need a plan to get the most money possible for your home while ensuring a smooth sale. As real estate agents, we help people buy and sell houses every single day, so we know what it takes to get top dollar for your property.

To find the best price for your home, lean on your agent to find comparable homes that have sold recently, analyze the market, and factor in market trends. Remember, you can’t always rely on Zestimates. We recently sold a home for $250,000 more than what Zillow estimated. Pricing a home accurately is a science and an art. 

2. Pre-inspections are ...

     
Timing is critical when it comes to selling your home successfully.


Lately, I've been asked this question a lot: "Is summertime the best time to sell?" My response is always the same: the best time to sell your home is when it's right for you, the seller. Don't worry about timing; we sell homes every month, year-round.

Here’s my secret to helping clients win in multiple offer situations.


Recently, I successfully secured two buyers under contract within a week in a multiple-offer situation, all of which exceeded the asking price. Today I’ll share how I structured these offers. 

The first step is determining the maximum price the buyers are willing to pay for the property. Prior to submitting an offer, I always conduct a comparative market analysis (comps) for my buyers. This involves assessing recently sold properties in the neighborhood over the past three months. Once we have the comps, we discuss the pricing strategy and determine the best price they are willing to offer.

"These tactics have proven successful in winning all five offers I've submitted recently."

Additionally, I advise my buyers that they may need to waive the appraisal or provide appraisal gap coverage. To clarify, appraisal gap coverage comes into play when the appraised va ...

Tips to help you buy your dream home contingent on selling your old house.


How do you buy a home when you need to sell yours at the same time? If you have a home to sell and want to buy a new one, here are the top three tips for success:

1. Come in at the asking price. While many people prefer not to pay over asking, paying the asking price is necessary if you want a competitive offer with a contingent home sale. Additionally, consider shortening your contingency periods, such as the home inspection and mortgage contingency.

"Find a true professional who is experienced in this type of negotiation."

2. Consider covering the seller’s state transfer tax. With a big contingency like a home sale, you need to sweeten the deal and make your offer more appealing. There are numerous competitive offers above asking price, so consider paying the seller's state transfer tax, which is usually 1% of the price for the home, and be flexible with closing. ...
