When’s the Best Time to Do Home Upgrades?

6 years yang lalu

—

People often ask us when they should do their home upgrades: right now, or when they’re getting ready to sell their home? No matter what upgrades you do, you first need to realize that you’re never going to get 100% of your money back on your investment. Your upgrades will make your home much more saleable and you’ll likely get a higher price for it, but dollar for dollar, you won’t get a full return. “Your upgrades will make your home much more saleable and you’ll likely get a higher price for it, but dollar-for-dollar, you won’t get a full return.” With that in mind, we highly encourage you to do any upgrades that you want to enjoy while still living there whenever you want to. If you want to update the bathroom or kitchen, refinish the hardwood floors, or replace the roofs, time your project so that you’ll have ample time to enjoy the finished work. If you have any questions about upgrading or selling your home, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to hear from you!…

How Sellers Can Sort Through Multiple Offers

6 years yang lalu

—

We’ve had a lot of people reach out lately with the same question: As a seller, what should I do when my home has drawn multiple offers? Today I’ll take a quick moment to offer my advice. In one of my latest videos, we focused on multiple-offer scenarios from a buyer’s standpoint. If you missed it, you can check it out here. Today we’ll shift our focus on the seller side. Commonly, sellers are most attracted to the largest offer, but the offer that will net you the most money isn’t necessarily the best of the bunch. Aside from price, give careful attention to the offer’s conditions. “It’s imperative that you enlist the help of a local lender if multiple offers are on the table.” We heavily stress to our buyers and sellers to always do business with a local lender. In truth, no online lender can compete with someone who’s local when it comes to getting you the best deal. Our team follows the “Choke Rule”—if we can’t get to the lender to choke them, we won’t use them. So it’s imperative that you enlist the help of a local lender if multiple offers are on the table. Then, identify the type of loan each buyer has been approved for. Those that are the least restrictive should be seriously considered because they normally come with the fewest deal-breaking obstacles and outs for the buyer. And of course, make sure you’re working with a highly capable agent who not only has a history working in your market, but who also has had past success in closing homes in your market. If you’re a seller who has questions about multiple-offer situations or about real estate in general, feel free to reach out to me. I’d be happy to hear from you!…

How Buyers Can Stand Out in the Crowd of Multiple Offers

6 years yang lalu

—

Recently, a buyer client asked us what they’ll need to include in their offer to grab a seller’s eye when they’ve amassed multiple offers, so that’s the focus for today. The first bit of advice I give to buyers is actually the same thing I would advise a seller to do: Use a local lender. The truth is when multiple offers are in front of a seller, they’re much less apt to accept an offer through a little-known lender—even if your offer is considerably higher. What good is a high offer if the loan can’t close? “The first bit of advice I give to buyers is actually the same thing I would advise a seller to do: Use a local lender.” Next, eliminate any potential obstacles that could derail the closing process, and write as clean of an offer as possible to create the strongest appeal. If your offer is weighed down by an inordinate number of caveats, ways you could withdraw your offer, and inspections, the seller will probably see your offer in a more negative light. Last, but not least, explore the possibility of qualifying for a TBD loan, where you’ll be fully approved before even finding the home you’d like to make an offer on. This way, you’ll have crossed your t’s and dotted your i’s, and the only leftover items will be the appraisal and the home address. An offer of this kind will be much more attractive than either a pre-qualification or pre-approval. If you’re a buyer and you have any questions about today’s topic or you’d like help with your home buying needs, feel free to reach out to me. I’d be happy to help!…

The Importance of Buyer Agency

6 years yang lalu

—

It’s that time of year where the market is getting busier and busier, and we seem to be coming across a lot of buyers who only want to work with a listing agent when buying a home. Why? Because it’s commonly believed in the real estate world that you can save money on commission fees by only working with a listing agent. Here’s the thing, though—you can’t. When a seller lists a house with an agent, their listing agreement extends to just the two of them, meaning the listing agent has a fiduciary responsibility to uphold the seller’s best interests, not the buyers. “If you decide to work directly with a listing agent when buying a home, that makes you their customer, not their client.” If you decide to work directly with a listing agent when buying a home, that makes you their customer, not their client. They won’t have your best interests in mind. In fact, it wouldn’t even be legal for them to have your best interests in mind! That’s why you should always hire your own agent to represent you when buying a home. It won’t cost you any more, and it will potentially save you thousands by preventing you from making any missteps when writing the purchase agreement. If you have any questions about the importance of buyer agency or you have any other real estate needs, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I’d love to help you.…

How to Prepare Your Home for the Market

6 years yang lalu

—

People always ask us what steps they must take to prepare their home for the market. Well, in addition to having us perform an analysis of the property, the first step any future seller must take is to clean and declutter. If you’re not using something, it’s time to pack it away. “The first step any future seller must take is to clean and declutter.” The key to preparing a home is to make sure that it looks fresh and inviting, and that all its major systems, appliances, and features are in working order. If a lightbulb is burnt out, for example, you need to change it before buyers set foot inside. You should also take the time to paint both inside and out. This will make your property seem like it’s brand-new. If you follow these steps and work closely with our team to make any other preparations your specific property may need, you’ll be sure to capture and keep an interested buyer’s attention in no time. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.…

Could Our Market Be Entering a Second Boom?

6 years yang lalu

—

Right now, the situation in our market is crazy. In my 17 years in the real estate business, I’ve only been a part of one boom, but it looks like we’re entering a second boom. The number of pending sales in February and March of this year were the highest levels we’ve seen since 2005. In other words, we’re in a very active buyer’s market. There are a lot of people out there who want to time the market, but I advise you not to do that. Most people in our area don’t move because they want to—they move because they have to, so don’t waste your time. “There are a lot of people out there who want to time the market, but I advise you not to do that.” That being said, because we’re in such an active market, you need to start looking at homes now if you’re thinking of making a move. Make sure you’re getting property updates on a daily basis. If a new listing pops up, you need to know about it within 15 to 20 minutes, because by the end of the day, it might already be sold. If you’d like to talk more about what’s happening in our market or you’re thinking of buying or selling a home, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to help you.…

What NOT to Do When Buying a Home

6 years yang lalu

—

When purchasing a home, there are important things that every buyer should do. In the final part of our series, we’ll discuss a very important thing you should definitely remember. Don’t make big purchases after signing. After speaking with a lender, so many people want to go out and buy new furniture, new appliances, or other big-ticket items. And at these stores are salespeople—salespeople who only care about selling you their product, not about making sure whether you get your house or not. “If they make an inquiry on your credit, your lender will see that inquiry.” If they make an inquiry on your credit, your lender will see that inquiry. This is a big problem. Even if your purchase won’t be delivered until after you’re in a new home, your credit is still being pulled. Pulled credit stays with you. When your lender sees that a store has checked into your credit, they’re going to start digging. Large purchases affect your debt-to-income ratio, which affects purchasing power overall. If they see your buying power decreasing, you may lose the chance to buy your house entirely. We had a client last year who, on the way to closing their home, bought a $70,000 car. Needless to say, they did not get a house. Once you sign that contract with the lender, you simply can’t buy anything major. If you wait 30 to 45 days to go ahead and buy everything you need, there’s no issue. If you don’t, the bank will be very curious about where all your money has gone. If you have any questions about buying or selling homes, making big purchases, or anything else, feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.…

How to Create Buzz for Your Home Sale

6 years yang lalu

—

Welcome back to part five of our six-part series on how to sell your home faster and for more money. Today we’re talking about how to create a buzz around your home in advance of listing it. When we are getting ready to list a home, we take it through a two-week “Coming Soon” period. Not only do we put a “Coming Soon” sign in the yard, but we also get pictures, promotional materials, and social media posts together so that our clients can start sharing that information with their friends and family, and get those people to send it to their friends and family. “If you can start creating that buzz early on, you will sell your home faster and for more money.” The more you can help your real estate agent find those people who are willing to purchase your home, the easier it will be to sell. If you can start creating that buzz early on, you will sell your home faster and for more money. If you have any questions for me or have any real estate needs that I can assist with, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.…

Buyers: Don’t Forget About Closing Costs

6 years yang lalu

—

Coming in at No. 5 on our list of the six things you should never do when purchasing a home is forgetting closing costs. I don’t like the term “closing costs” when referring to the amount you’ll pay when closing on a home, though, because it should actually be called “cost to close.” In our contracts, closing costs refer to the attorney fees, survey fees, settlement fees, etc., that you’ll pay. Your cost to close, on the other hand, means your prepaid fees, insurance fees, and taxes. So when you get a quote from a lender and they say that the cost to close will be $6,000 and you get another quote from another lender that says your closing costs are $3,000, the latter is quoting you what your actual closing costs are, but not the money you need to close. “The less you pay for a house, the higher your closing costs will be.” This is why, when comparing mortgages, you need to ask your agent or lender what your total cost to close will be—not what your closings costs are. Forget about your closing costs—quoting that amount is a ploy some lenders use to get you to sign with them. It’s not until later, then, that the truth comes out. It’s also important to remember that the less you pay for a house, the higher your closing costs will be because, percentage-wise, it’s a fixed cost. Therefore, the more you pay for a house, the lower your closing costs will be. In our market, if your home is under $200,000, your closing costs will be about 3.75% to 4% of that price. If you have any more questions about closing costs or you have any other real estate questions for me, don’t hesitate to give me a call or shoot me an email. I’d be happy to help you.…

Profitable Selling Tips: Energy Efficiency

6 years yang lalu

—

It’s time to continue our series on selling your house faster and for more money. For the fourth installment, we’re going to focus on making your home more energy efficient. There are plenty of things you can do in order to accomplish this. Replacing your current light bulbs with LED bulbs is a good place to start. Replacing your water heater isn’t a bad idea either. An instant hot water heater will heat hot water only when you need it, not all day long. Energy-efficient windows are a good idea as well. “Energy-efficient windows are a great idea.” Finally, a programmable thermostat is a must. You can use it to make sure the home is heated or cooled when you need it, not 24/7. Due to their lower costs of operation and their generally longer lifespans, energy-efficient appliances like these will increase the appeal of your home in a potential buyer’s eyes. If you have any questions for me about how you can make your home more energy efficient, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.…
