Extra Tips to Be Successful in Buying or Selling
Be prepared.
- If you are buying and want to an agent to find you off market homes, take our 5-minute questionnaire.
- Request a free copy of my Home Buyer’s Guide. You need wisdom and a plan.
- Set a budget and stick to it.
- If you are financing a purchase, get “underwritten approval”. That means, you selected ONE lender to handle your financing. You submitted all paperwork to them and they have submitted your financial package to the underwriting team. If your lender says they can’t do that, get another lender. You are playing to win not lose.
Be proactive in this. I have 3 good lenders that I refer out to buyers. All lenders are not the same. I list 3 good lenders in my Home Buyer’s Guide. - 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. Having 3 or 5 agents working for you is not a good way to find a house.
Pick one. Commit to working with them in writing. Don’t work with the listing agent when buying a property. Why? Read more about that topic in this article. - If you are selling, let’s meet and talk strategy. Declutter the place. Let me take a tour. After we agree to work together, I will give you some wisdom to prepare to sell your property.
- If you are selling your home, I have a free home seller’s guide called “Getting Your Home Sold” Guide…reason from a Realtor with 28 years of experience will help you get the most money possible for your house, condo or income property.
