Question 1

You will first need to contact a lender and obtain a financing pre-approval letter. This will help you know how much you can afford and will help us tailor our search in finding your next home! Additionally, many sellers require that a preapproval letter accompany the offer or be submitted quickly after the offer is accepted, so it makes sense to already have one ready!

Question 2

Acceptance of the offer is only the beginning! Once your offer is accepted by the seller, the home inspection, septic (if necessary) inspection, and appraisal will all take place. I will help you understand and negotiate through each step as you get closer to closing day.

Question 3

Earnest money is a “good faith deposit” that you put down once your offer is accepted. This money is usually held by the Seller’s broker in a non-interest bearing escrow account. If you decide not to move forward with the purchase due to contingencies outlined in the contract, the seller will release the earnest money back to you. Both parties must agree to release the earnest money.

Question 4

Closing costs are the fees and costs that are associated with finalizing or “closing” the sale of your property. Closing costs include (but are not limited to) the appraisal fee, lender fees (such as credit report fee, loan origination fee, flood certification fees, and underwriting fees), taxes, title fees, and insurance. This is another reason to talk to a lender prior to looking for a home. Your lender will be able to take all of these extra items into account when you are deciding how much you can spend. Some closing costs are paid by the seller and some are paid by the buyer. The contract will determine who pays for what costs. It is not uncommon for buyers to ask sellers to pay for a portion of the closing costs.

Question 5

Optimized pricing – Even in a seller’s market, if your home isn’t priced correctly, it will likely sit on the market. Homes that sit on the market for an extended time tend to lose momentum. I will provide you the tools and advice to prevent this from happening.

Question 7

The first step that everyone needs to do is to declutter. Even the neatest of homes has the occasional closet or corner that could use a little organization. Buyers will be looking at every corner of your home, so make sure it’s ready to show! Secondly, you will need to make sure your home is very clean. If a home isn’t well kept, buyers can focus on the dirt and won’t see the other features. Finally, stage your home to sell. I am experts at this and would love to help you! Sometimes furniture rearrangements and accessorizing with item such as good lighting can do wonders to homes attractiveness. Remove excess personal photos and personal items, streamline countertops, and remove items that you don’t use every day. Open and clean space help home’s appeal to buyers.
