Between low interest, fierce competition, and rising home prices, 2020 was a challenge for buyers, but offered serious advantages to sellers—and it looks like that
In general, appointments work best. Please think twice about calling us to say, “We’re sitting outside the home now. How soon can you drop everything so we can see it?” Seriously?! Look, we love our clients, but remember that we have other obligations in life to balance, just like you.
You shouldn’t be mad when we ask you to sign an agreement before driving you around to show you homes. If you want a taxi driver, there’s an app for that.
It’s true — real estate is all about location, location, location. That’s why we want you to learn about different areas so you know what each one has to offer. Ideally, you should have a roundabout understanding of the area you’d like to live in before we schedule six appointments just so you can say, “Hmmmm I don’t like this neighborhood.”
Stop listening to Zillow. Relying on Zillow to determine your home’s value is, at best, a crapshoot. Sure, Zillow’s Zestimates® are quick, easy, and free… but so is dating advice from your twice-divorced Uncle Larry. The point? Just let a local real estate professional (who will actually see your home’s unique features in person) determine its fair market value.
In a nutshell: We don’t care what Zillow says; Zillow hasn’t seen your home.
After 6 months of shopping within your price range, don’t say, “I’m thinking of buying a fixer upper and flipping it.”
But we won’t give up. And neither should you. Assuming your budget supports your wish list, we’ll ultimately find you a home that matches what you’re looking for.
You want to make an offer for 30% less than market value? We get it. It’s only human nature to want a deal. But in some cases, lowball offers can actually hurt you in the long run.
