For Buyers
I'm interested in buying a house, but I don't know where to start. What can you do to help?
We can chat about your needs and budget, pre-qualify you for a mortgage, and guide you through the entire house hunting process, from finding the perfect property to making a winning offer.
How much does it cost to buy a house?
There are several closing costs associated with buying a house, such as origination fees, appraisals, and inspections. I can help you understand these costs and factor them into your budget.
What's the real estate market like right now? Is it a good time to buy?
The market can fluctuate, but I can provide you with current market data and trends specific to your area to help you make an informed decision.
For Sellers
Thinking about selling my house. How can I get the most out of it?
We can discuss strategies to maximize your home's value, like staging and minor renovations. I'll also create a competitive marketing plan to get your property in front of the right buyers.
What's my house worth?
I can provide you with a free comparative market analysis (CMA) to estimate your home's current value based on recent sales of similar properties.
How long will it take to sell my house?
The timeframe can vary depending on market conditions and your property. I'll use my experience to create a realistic sales timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.
For Buyers & Sellers
How much are closing costs?
Closing costs vary depending on the specifics of the transaction, but typically run between 2% and 5% of the purchase price for buyers and 6% to 10% for sellers.
Here's a breakdown of some common closing costs:
Buyers: Origination fees, appraisals, inspections, title insurance, escrow fees, prorated property taxes and homeowners insurance.
Sellers: Real estate agent commissions, transfer taxes, recording fees, prorated property taxes, and any outstanding homeowner association fees.
I can provide you with a more accurate estimate based on your situation. It's also important to note that you'll receive a Closing Disclosure three days before closing, outlining all the final costs associated with the transaction.
What are the biggest mistakes people make when buying/selling a house?
One common mistake is going it alone. Having a knowledgeable real estate agent by your side can help you avoid costly pitfalls and ensure a smooth transaction.
