3 Tips to Make a Good Offer

Welcome back to my video blog! Today, I wanted to touch on the subject of making offers. I’ve heard some buyers say they’ve made almost 20 offers, but haven’t got a home yet.

Why is this? When you make an offer there are a lot of things to consider.
The first thing is to have an aggressive realtor. When I construct an offer, I find out when the sellers are looking at offers and whether they would take a preemptive offer. Sometimes sellers will take an early offer if the terms are good.

The second thing to do is check out the market. Look at how many homes have sold in the area recently and how many offers did they have. Let’s also look at the sales versus list ratio.

The final thing to consider is the other terms of an offer. How big of a down payment are you making? What is the length of escrow? Sometimes allowing a seller to remain in their home for an extra 30 days is all they need to accept your offer.

Keep these three things in mind when you find a home you like. If you have any questions about strategy for you home, please give me a call; I’d love to help!

Home Selling Preppers

Welcome back! I’m sure you’ve heard about or seen those shows about preparing your home for the end of the world or the zombie apocalypse. What about a show on how to prepare your home to sell?

Did you know that 90 percent of buyers start their search online? It’s like online dating for your home!

It’s so important, then, that your home looks perfect. Take the clutter off the counter and put a fresh coat of paint on. Make the home look spacious and hire a professional photographer to best showcase your home.

If you don’t put your best foot forward, chances are you will get very few showings. Get your buyers excited to visit your property!

Is Fall a Good Time to Sell?

Welcome back to my video blog. A lot of people have asked me whether the fall is a good time to sell. Have they missed the market?

Timing and location are important when selling your home. The good news is because of low interest rates, buyers are still interested and motivated. Plus, there are some great properties out there.

If you want to sell, now until the end of October is a great time. Even if you need to sell into November, there will still be buyers who need to move!

So if you are thinking about buying or selling, please give me a call. Let's get your home on the market!
