FAQ
Before buying a property, it’s essential to evaluate your budget, preferred location, and long-term goals. You’ll also want to research market conditions, property taxes, and mortgage options. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage can help define your budget. As a real estate agent, I can assist you in finding the perfect property and guide you through the entire buying process.
The selling process typically starts with determining your property’s market value through a comparative market analysis (CMA). After that, the property is listed, marketed, and shown to potential buyers. Once an offer is made, you can accept, reject, or counter it. When both parties agree, the next step is finalizing the paperwork and closing the sale. I work to maximize your property’s exposure and help negotiate the best price for you.
Real estate can be a strong investment, providing both long-term appreciation and potential rental income. However, like any investment, it requires careful research into location, market trends, and property conditions. Working with a knowledgeable agent can help you identify properties that meet your investment goals, whether you’re looking for rental properties, flipping opportunities, or long-term value growth.
Real estate agent commissions typically range between 4% and 5% of the selling price of the property. This amount is usually split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent. The commission covers marketing, negotiation, and other services provided to ensure the sale or purchase goes smoothly. It is often negotiable, and I aim to provide maximum value for my clients.
To prepare your home for sale, start by decluttering and deep cleaning to make the space more appealing. Consider making minor repairs, staging the home, and enhancing curb appeal. Professional photos can also make a big difference in attracting buyers. As your agent, I can offer advice on cost-effective improvements and ensure your property is presented in the best light to potential buyers.
