FAQ's for Sellers

What is my home worth in today’s market?

A home's value depends on several factors, including recent comparable sales, the condition of your home, and current market demand. I can provide a detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) to give you a realistic price range and discuss strategies to maximize your sale price.

How do you market my home to attract buyers?

Marketing includes professional photography, video tours, social media campaigns, email marketing, and listing your home on the MLS and major real estate platforms. We also target specific buyers through data-driven strategies to ensure maximum exposure.

What are the costs involved in selling my home?

Typical costs include agent commissions, closing costs, and potential repair costs. Commissions are often negotiable, but they typically range between 3-6% of the sale price, split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents. I’m happy to discuss flexible options.

How long will it take to sell my home?

The timeline depends on the local market, pricing, and how your home is prepared for sale. In a seller’s market, homes can sell within days, while a balanced market may take a few weeks. I aim to position your home to sell quickly and at the best possible price.

Do I need to make repairs or updates before listing my home?

Minor updates, like fresh paint or staging, can significantly impact your home's appeal and value. I’ll advise on cost-effective changes that yield the highest return on investment.

FAQ's for Buyers

What is the current state of the real estate market?

The market changes seasonally and based on economic factors. I provide real-time data on interest rates, inventory levels, and buyer demand to help you make informed decisions.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Down payments vary based on loan programs. For FHA loans, it’s as low as 3.5%, while conventional loans often require 3-20+%. There are also down payment assistance programs you may qualify for. Depending on your scenario we can explore grant programs that can offer up to $50,000 toward your down payment & closing costs.

What are closing costs, and how much will they be?

Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the purchase price and include fees like lender charges, title insurance, notary fees, prepaid taxes, homeowner's insurance and escrow costs. I’ll provide a detailed estimate upfront so you’re fully prepared.

Can you help me negotiate the best deal?

That is the plan! Negotiation is one of my strengths. Whether it’s the purchase price, repairs, or closing costs, I’ll advocate for your best interests to get the best possible deal.

What should I look for during a home tour?

Beyond the aesthetics, focus on the home’s structure, potential repair needs, and its location. I’ll guide you through this process and ask questions to ensure it meets your long-term goals.
