How do I determine the right asking price for my home?

Pricing your home correctly is crucial for attracting serious buyers. I conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to assess recent sales of similar properties in your area, along with current market trends. Factors such as your home’s condition, location, and unique features also play a role. My goal is to price it competitively to maximize your return while ensuring a timely sale.

How long will it take to sell my home?

The time it takes to sell depends on several factors, including market conditions, pricing, and the home's condition. On average, homes in this area sell within 30-90 days, but well-priced and well-presented properties tend to sell faster. I’ll work with you to ensure your home is positioned for a quick and profitable sale.

What can I do to increase my home's value before selling?

Simple improvements like fresh paint, decluttering, and minor repairs can make a big impact. Enhancing curb appeal, updating fixtures, and staging the home can also increase perceived value. I can provide a personalized list of recommendations based on your home’s current condition and market trends.

Should I get pre-approved before looking for homes?

Yes! Getting pre-approved for a mortgage helps you understand how much you can afford and makes your offer stronger when you find the right home. Sellers prefer buyers who are financially ready, and it prevents delays during the closing process. I can recommend trusted lenders if you need assistance.

What are the hidden costs of buying a home?

Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for closing costs (typically 2-5% of the purchase price), home inspections, appraisal fees, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and potential HOA fees. I’ll walk you through all expected expenses so there are no surprises.

What’s the difference between a buyer’s and seller’s market?

A buyer’s market means there are more homes for sale than buyers, giving buyers negotiating power. A seller’s market means demand exceeds supply, leading to higher prices and quicker sales. I monitor local trends to help you strategize whether you're buying or selling.

How do real estate agents get paid?

As a realtor, I typically earn a commission based on the home’s selling price, which is usually paid by the seller at closing. This commission is then split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents. My priority is ensuring you get the best deal, whether you’re buying or selling.
