Avoid These Mistakes When Pricing Your Home
Pricing mistake #1: Not listening to your agent's recommendation.
Your realtor's goal is to price your property according to the current market while getting you top dollar for your home. To do that, your agent will compile an analysis report of similar homes that have sold recently, study local market trends, and highlight the features of your property to strategically price your home. While you as the seller may want to start high when pricing and that is your right BUT, you will have a hard time finding a Realtor that will let that fly. This brings me to…
Pricing Mistake #2: Overpricing your home so you’ll have “room to negotiate.”
Overpricing is the #1 way to crush your chance at getting the most money for your home. The idea that pricing a home higher will lead to a higher sale price is just flat-out WRONG! If you overprice your property, it will sit on the market. When y; ...

How to AVOID falling out of Escrow as a Seller
Did you know… 37% of Purchase Agreements fall through due to Repair issues.
For Example, Seller Soliel puts her house on the market hoping to get top dollar for the sale. To her knowledge, the framing and foundation were in good shape but she hadn’t crawled under to see for herself. After being listed for 15 days, an interested buyer submits an offer with standard contingencies. Now keep in mind, one of those contingencies states that Buyer Barnet has the right to hire a professional to inspect the property.
The home inspector spends a few hours combing through each room, checking for safety and functionality. After emerging from under the house he informs Buy Barnet and Seller Soliel that a leak has been rotting out a section of the framing for years and recommends hiring a Foundation Expert to advise on the extent of damage, costs, and remedies.
The Foundation Expert re ...

Pondering a Reno?
How do I pick a contractor?
Ideally, you want to build the same kind of relationship with your contractor as you do with your real estate agent: one built on trust that makes you want to go back to that person for any future needs. Your contractor should be a very good listener and communicator. You want them to “get” your vision for your home, and to keep you in the loop every step of the way. Do your due diligence by checking out contractors’ reputations, talking with other clients, and looking at work they have done previously before you make your selection.
How much will my project cost?
Of course, the answer depends upon the scope of your project, but in order to get the best estimate from your contractor, take time to write down each detail of your plan so that the contractor can include everything in their estimate. Renovations are famous for taking longer and costing more than originally planned, but this i ...

Land Never Depreciates & Customization is the Cherry on Top
Building a custom home is hard work that is rewarded when you move into the home of your dreams. The first step is finding the perfect lot to build on. Before you purchase a plot, be aware of these dos and don’ts.
Do work with an agent to find the land. Your real estate agent can help to research the property and make sure that you are making a safe investment. Buying vacant land is different than buying a home; work with an agent who knows what questions to ask and knows how to negotiate on your behalf.
Do have your finances in order. You will need to have proof of funds for the purchase amount, so make sure you understand what you can afford to spend on your lot.
Do find out what utilities service the area. If you are looking outside of a developed area, you need to know what utility services are available already, or if any infrastructure needs to be added.
Do find out if in ...
