Getting the Highest Price for Your Home

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people view your home on line or drive up looking at their mobile device. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it’s staged appropriately. In many and most cases professional staging is not required.

Closing Costs to Expect:

• Title insurance and Escrow fees depend on the sales price of the home. Other fees are accounted buy us so you’ll know what the total costs will be and your net amount to you.
• Broker’s commission is a contingency full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 4% to 7%. A real estate fee is not fixed by law and is always negotiable.

FOR BUYERS

Hire a REALTOR®. That’s what you hear. But isn’t that what sellers do? Yes, most sellers wouldn’t think of moving without a REALTOR®. Today Buyers can have that same loyalty; but most just don’t know it. In most cases the Seller still pays the brokers fees and the cost to a buy at most closings is nil.

In his syndicated column, “Let’s Talk About Real Estate,” veteran industry analyst and consultant Thomas Ervin endorsed the idea of buyer representation. According to Ervin: Some potential home buyers believe they should use an agent only when buying a resale property listed with a real estate company. This is not true. REALTORS® are a valuable resource when buying any type of property. An agent can help you buy a listed property, a “for sale by owner,” or a new home.

Remember, negotiating a home purchase in any State involves many factors other than the asking price. Financing terms must be suited to your individual needs. Various clauses in the contract can also protect you. One of the most common clauses gives you an escape from the purchase if the house is found upon inspection to require extensive repairs or is not what you expected. I know how to prepare your offer and allow for events that you would not normally anticipate.
