Extra Tips from Jay Valento: Be Prepared

• If you are buying or selling, know the recent market. This overall view for Huntington Beach is a good start. It helps you to understand how hot the market is.
• If you are in Huntington Harbour, SeaCliff on the Greens, Broadmoor or another area, ask for a market update of the neighborhood. Then, you can see the trends of your area.
• Set a budget and stick to it.
• If you are financing a purchase, get “underwritten approval”. Then, all the bank or mortgage company needs is an appraisal and an accepted contract. Be proactive in this. I have 3 good lenders that I refer out to buyers…if you need one. All lenders are not the same.
• Create a plan or strategy with one Realtor®. We all work on commission and don’t get paid until the sale is complete and all documents are signed off. Our focus is to help you, answer your questions and give you wisdom.
