Real Estate

Help Establish Concrete Numbers

In a “Seller’s Market,” Real Estate Agents are more valuable than ever when it comes to helping Buyers make the best choice and find the right deal on their dream home.   

Your Agent should help prepare you by Establishing a clear and defined budget ahead of time. That means making sure you are preapproved for a mortgage before the search gets underway. Also, have a firm commitment to the cash you have to work with.

So How Do We Help Our Clients :

  1. Provide guidance in which 40+ years of experience brings to the table (including 18 yrs in the financing/mortgage biz). I have seen A LOT.

 

  1. Provide the tools to help figure out how much house you can afford. The Key Factors in calculating affordability :

 

    • Income
    • Funds Available
    • Debt and Expenses
    • Credit Profile

Start with our Mortgage Calculator

 

  1. Encourage getting preapproved for a mortgage. Why? Offers will not get accepted without being preapproved. Also, who doesn’t want Faster Closings and LESS Stress with the Mortgage Qualification Process? Trust me! And if you need a referral, I got you covered.

Just In: July’s Market Report

The local real estate numbers are in for July, and you might say, “the pilot eased back the throttle just slightly.”

The market remained hot, with homes selling on average in just 14 days (less than half the time of a year ago) and for 2% more than asking (easing just a tad from the previous month).  Closings were down 4% from June and 7% from last July.  New Listings were up a bit. So when the dust settled, Inventory was up considerably from June but down considerably from a year ago.  Inventory remains extremely tight at 2498 units and a .7 month supply— whereas 7x that number would be nice.

So, bottom line, market activity eased from red, red hot to red hot.  But, regardless of the temperature, We’re busy making good things happen for buyers and sellers.

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.
