F.A.Qs

Here is a collection of frequently asked questions that I have put together to help you in buying or selling a home. If you have any other questions, not listed here, feel free to call or send an e-mail.

By clicking on any of the questions below, you may view the answer.

Buyers
How do I know how much I can spend on a home?

This is based on your personal income and debt.  Mortgage companies use debt to income ratios to determine what price range of mortgage you can obtain. Our agents have a clear understanding of finance and can assist you in determining how much you can comfortably spend.

How is a buyers agent typically paid?

The seller of the property usually pays the agents' fees.

Why should I use a Realtor?

A Realtor is an expert in the real estate field and can network with thousands of other agents to help you find the right property at the right price and navigate you through the whole process.

Sellers
As a seller, what can I do to help my home sell?

First impressions can either make or break a deal.  Make sure your curb appeal is at its best, have a clean yard free of clutter, make sure the front door is clean and freshly painted if necessary, have the home clean and neat.  One of our experienced agents can come to you and give you a free consultation and help you get your home ready to sell.  Sometimes, it really helps to have an independent evaluation.

How should I price my home?

Pricing is very important, a price too low can cost you and a price too high can keep your house from selling.  Current market conditions as well as your property condition will determine a fair selling price for your home.  Our agents have access to all of the latest market data and have the skills you need to make sure your home is priced to sell.

Why should I use a Realtor instead of trying to sell on my own?

The sales price for sellers who use an agent is on average 16 percent higher than those who don't , according to the National Association of Realtors AND 9 of 10 home buyers are using a real estate agent in the search process.
