Victory loves preparation so ask yourself the following questions to formulate a winning offer that doesn’t hurt you either.

• How reliable is my income?

• Do I foresee large expenses here?

• How much $ am I willing to spend?

• How much $ do I have in reserves?

• What monthly payment am I comfortable with?
(Key Question 🔑)

• What is my EXIT STRATEGY?

Why is it important to price your home right?
(It’s more important now more than ever in this market to get it right.)

Your house's market debut is your first chance to attract a buyer and it's important to get the pricing right. If your home is overpriced, you run the risk of buyers not seeing the listing as well as having it sit on the market, losing time and money.

These are the key elements
• Property Assessment
• Real Estate Agent Insight
• Neighborhood Evaluation
• Local Comps (Closed Sales)

✔️ Don’t price it too low
Listing a home below its market value is a strategy some sellers use to generate interest in the property and possibly spark a bidding war. It’s also used by sellers who need to sell their property quickly.
But price your house too low and you could end up leaving some serious money on the table. A bargain-basement price could also turn some buyers away, as they may wonder if there are any underlying problems with the house.

✔️ Do consider the comps: Comparable sales or "comps" are recently sold homes that are similar to yours in size, location and features. Armed with comps, your listing agent can put together a comprehensive report called a comparative market analysis, or CMA. A CMA can help you determine a realistic listing price.

When planning your monthly expenses for your new home, don’t forget to add homeowners insurance to that list.

While shopping for homeowners insurance, keep in mind that insurance companies look at many things to set your insurance rates.

They look at where you live and if there are any problems in your house. Insurers also consider your credit score and history with claims before setting the price.

Question⁉️🛠⁣
Do you really have to spend several hundred dollars on a home inspection?⁣
⁣
The answer is yes...a thousand times YES! Here’s why:⁣
⁣
1. You may think your home is in perfect shape, but some of the costliest problems are difficult to spot: leaks, termite damage, foundation issues, poor ventilation, faulty wiring, and drippy appliances.⁣
2. A home inspection gives you the chance (before you sign on the dotted line) to have a professional inspector see if there are any problems that need to be addressed, replaced, or fixed.⁣
3. When it’s all said and done, you’ll have an accurate picture of what you’re walking into when you buy. Wouldn’t you hate shelling out money set aside for new furniture on a new roof cause you didn’t know it was leaky? Yeah...me too.⁣
⁣
💰Plan to pay between $200 and $600 for a home inspection—and while you won’t get it back if the sale falls through, it's a safety measure I recommend to all my buyers.⁣
⁣
In the meantime, send me a message if you’re ready to take the next step towards buying. I am here to help every step of the way!!!

You know your home better than anyone else — upgrades you’ve made, how well it’s been maintained, etc. So, don’t just take an appraisal at face value. Especially if you know your home is worth more.

If you think the appraisal you received on your home is too low, challenge it!

Here are 8 steps you can take to appeal it.

🔸 Request a copy of the appraisal report, otherwise, you won’t have access to it.

🔸 Check every detail, there could be very obvious mistakes that the appraiser unintentionally made but didn’t thoroughly check through.

🔸Contact your lender and request a value appeal, but make sure you can substantiate any claim with evidence.

🔸 Provide updated comparative sales.

🔸 Make sure there are no missing permits: If you’ve made additions or improvements to your home and didn’t get building permits you might have an issue with its value because an appraiser cannot consider the improvements in the appraisal if they’re not permitted.

🔸 Make upgrades and improvements clearly known to the appraiser.

🔸 Make sure your agent meets with the appraiser to help communicate the supporting data, such as comps and improvements.

🔸Appeal an appraiser who doesn’t know the area.

When you hire me to represent you, I take care of this step during this process to make sure you prevail.
