Frequently Asked Questions
Buying
Please check out these frequently asked questions when it comes to the real estate buying process.
When should I get pre-approved?
Pre-approvals are generally good for only 60-90 days. If you are looking to purchase a home more than 90 days away, it is not necessary.
You are better off getting pre-qualified if you are looking to buy more than 3 months away, that way if they communicate you would not be able to buy at your current financial position, they could be able to help you strategize a gameplan on preparing you to be in the position to buy when the time comes!
How long is a typical real estate transaction?
30-60 days. It will span out longer than the typical 30 days closed if repairs are needed to complete the transaction, or whatever is negotiated on the contract.
How are you able to manage doing business in different cities?
Real estate is my full time job, so creating time for my clients is never a problem.
What expenses do I have to account for upfront?
Your earnest deposit and inspection costs are money you need to consider having on hand. Earnest money is what you deliver to the title company once the seller agrees to your offer. Earnest money is typically 1% of the purchase price.
EXP: $400,000 Sales Price x 1% = 4,000 EMD
Inspection costs typically range around $500-$800
Selling
Please check out these frequently asked questions when it comes to the real estate selling process.
What is the biggest reason houses don't get toured/sold?
The 3 P's:
PRICE
PRICE
PRICE
The reality is, is that when a home doesn't, it's because the home in the current market is not worth the price.
This is why a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is CRUCIAL, to see what your home is worth amongst competition and also to have the best of the home meeting appraisal value.
What are good selling practices?
Making sure the house is CLEAN and presentable. A deep cleaned home with proper presentability can turn offers from a lowball to actual market value (speaking from experience I where I helped a client recover her value).
-Clean Home
-Depersonalized
-Pleasant Smell
How important are open houses?
Real estate agents will hate me exposing this, but real estate agents mainly do open houses to show they are being an active agent, gaining new clientele possibly.
Remember, price, price price.
As long as the price as right and is presentable, you'll be good.
Why can't we start high at the number I want, then we can work down?
This is a very common question, let's break this down as simple as possible.
Let's say you have a home for sale worth $450,000 amongst the competitors. However, you want to list for $500,000.
Days go by, you get some visits, and the feedback is the same:
- Too expensive (compared to your competitors0
- Better deal at same price (you're competing with houses that are ACTUALLY WORTH $500,000
Now 2 weeks has passed, and your home is stone cold.
Now you want to decrease, you still want to maximize returns, but not be competitive.
$470,000.
$30,000 cut.
Buyers don't see a good deal.
They see desparation.
They think "if we just watch this, we can wait them out until they're hurting, and THEN get a good deal."
Meanwhile, as they're waiting you out, your pockets are bleeding from mortgage not being paid by tenants because its vacant.
Or if you're living in it, the house you wanted to transition to sells under you, or the job you accepted in another location is getting to the starting date.'
The competing houses sold because they were a better deal.
Desperate and having no choice, you decide to give it away after an offer of $435,000.
Your only offer, take it or bleed.
SOLD.
All this could've been avoided had you priced properly.
Make sense?
