There are times you need to sell to be able to purchase, and other times you may be able to buy without selling. A conversation with myself and a lender is the best way to determine what is best for you.

My stager and I will walk through the house, give you tips & tricks to get it market-ready, provide a detailed action plan, and talk through where best to spend your money to provide the biggest return. It is ALWAYS cheaper to make repairs prior to going under contract, and first impressions matter to buyers once the home is active.

Not necessarily. Repair requests consist of defects within the home. We will discuss the inspection report in length and negotiate with the buyer.

Zillow & other third party websites generate home values based on calculations and formulas that are not specific to your house. I am running a comparative market analysis (CMA) with an in depth evaluation of square footage, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, lot features, location, style, condition, upgrades, ect. This shows more accurate data of similar homes that have sold and helps us determine average price per sq ft and a more accurate listing price.

There are many market factors that go into answering this at any given time. We look at average days on market, average sales price, market conditions, neighborhood transactions, and more. Then we discuss all the data and determine if it is the best time for you to sell.

First step is for us to schedule a listing appointment at your home. We will discuss the detailed process step-by-step, market data to agree on a list price, any upgrades or features that are important in advertising, contract terms, and all the things that are most important to you during this transaction.

There are four main options in this scenario. Seller agrees to lower the contract price to appraised value because the buyers lender will not loan more than the house is deemed worth. Buyer pays extra in cash to bridge the gap between appraisal amount and contract price. The transaction terminates if seller and buyer cannot agree on an option. Challenge the appraisal if listing agent has date of recently sold properties that support the homes value.
