Buying

You Get What You Pay For

“What is your rate to sell my home?”

Naturally, after the typical “Sales Pitch,” a prospective client wants to know – What is my rate to sell their home? This is where some agents may start to stumble, and the conversation gets a bit uncomfortable. For me, not so much. I am pretty candid with prospective clients. Of course, you can find someone to sell your home for less and they will do less. I have been doing this for a long time (over 40+ years of experience), and I am confident in what I bring to the table. (Did I mention that 74% of my business comes from prior clients?? There are good reasons for that.) 😊 Click here for our Reviews

Though you may be wondering What’s Less —>>>

  • Marketing ads may be incorrect
  • Photos are less than desirable
  • Phone calls are not returned
  • Lack of skill/experience to work offers for maximum profit
  • Lack of knowledge what to fix, what not to
  • Inferior input on pricing
  • Not coaching you thru the entire process

With just the subpar marketing alone, you will have less traffic – meaning Fewer People seeing your home, which equals fewer competing offers. And then tack on the lack of experience to work the offers you do get.

BOTTOM LINE is MONEY WILL BE LEFT ON THE TABLE.

This is what I am seeing

As a Buyer, I know that this Seller’s Market can be extremely frustrating. I don’t know if you see it, though I have seen the market slow ever so slightly. It could be the summer months or the past holiday. However, I am sensing less of the panic that we saw months ago. Buyers are starting to be more strategic in their offerings.

No doubt we are seeing some sellers being greedy – overpricing in an already overpriced market.  Some are not pulling the property together as they would have done a year ago.

I have to tell you that properties may be snagged up within hours of listing, though deals are not getting to the closing table. They are falling through for various reasons – Buyer’s remorse. Lackluster inspections. Low appraisals. Buyers are walking away for a good reason – they are paying top dollar, paying over list price, and expecting more.

Hang in there and remember that I am a phone call away at (317) 625-0655.

Get Pre-qualified For A Conventional Loan

Last week, the TOP BUYER TIP in today’s seller’s market was to get pre-qualified (unless, of course, you are paying cash for your next home.) So, what does pre-qualified actually mean, and how do you get started?

Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage loan requires that you select a mortgage lender (Don’t know who – I have a few that I worked with for years and come highly recommended) to work with and obtain your loan. Visit our website for our preferred partners

Really, mortgage pre-qualification is a promise from the lender that you’re qualified to borrow up to a certain amount of money at a specific interest rate, subject to a property appraisal and other documentation. And in most cases, it’s FREE. Yes, I said FREE.

In today’s housing market, without one, you don’t stand a chance. Sellers are receiving multiple offers on their homes within hours of putting them on the market. Having a pre-qualification letter in hand proves to the seller that you are serious about moving forward and provides you with bargaining power.
