Buy & SELL
No matter what you’re planning for your next real estate move, having an experienced professional involved to help guide you through the process is crucial. Whether it’s understanding contracts and applicable laws or just helping you know what to look for or what steps to take before listing your current home, expertise can only elevate your experience and help you make sure you’re making the most of your options.
BUYERS CHECKLIST
There’s nothing wrong with knowing where you want to be, but it’s important to be patient if you want to be in a specific area.
Flexibility is important and this list might even change as you begin looking at properties. That’s okay! What’s important is beginning to consider the details.
No financing equals no deals! If you’re on top of this task, you’ll be ready to make an immediate offer when you find your dream home. Consider how much you’re willing to spend and always make sure you have cash on hand for inspections or unexpected expenses.
Even if you’re going to keep your current home as a rental as you level up, you’ll want to plan ahead to empty it and make any necessary fixes to get it sold or generating income as quickly as possible.
SELLERS CHECKLIST
Houses in great shape will always sell faster and with a higher price tag. Don’t give any prospective buyers a reason to doubt the houses condition or value.
Fresh paint all around, a deep clean, and professional staging are not to be neglected! When buyers walk into your house you want it to have a serious wow factor and immediately look like home. A small investment before you list can pay dividends when the offers start rolling in.
If you haven’t already purchased your next home it’s possible you’ll want to line up a rental for any time in between properties.
Timing is everything and the luxury home market is no exception. There’s no reason you should have to settle for less than your home is worth. When the right offer comes in, you’ll know it.
