When to Buy - When to Sell:
Unless you have considerable financial resources,
it could be risky to put an offer on a new
home before your first home sells. In fact,
you might lose your chance to buy your new
home if you cannot sell your first home
in time or if you do not get the sales price
you expected. You might even have to make
payments on both homes until the first home
sells.
Selling a Home Takes Time:
It might take longer than you expect to
sell your first home. It can take several
weeks just to get a home listed for sale.
It might take another month or two to find
a buyer. Then depending on the lending market
and the results of home inspections it might
take another month or two for the buyer
to close the transaction. Remember: Sellers
don’t want to wait for you to get
your home sold!
Expert Advice Will Help Negotiations:
Our job is to get you into the strongest
negotiating position possible: As seasoned
real estate agents, we handle at least 50
transactions each year. Take advantage of
our experience when we share with you that
sellers prefer buyers who make a “strong”
purchase offer. Sellers will choose qualified
buyers who are ready to close the transaction
quickly and easily, over buyers who are
less prepared. If you are serious about
buying, let us help you prepare so you can
make the strongest offer possible. Lastly,
we will help you structure your offer so
you are protected in case things don’t
go as planned.
Worried Where You Will Live?
This is a common concern when juggling a
purchase with a sale. We have many ideas
to help you! For example, we can negotiate
a rent-back period so that you may rent
your first home back from the buyer for
a month or two while we help you find and
buy your new home. Let us help you find
the most convenient and affordable solution
to minimize the moving impact on your lifestyle.
Real Estate Agents Are Valuable
Assets: Agents know the market
and can help you prepare your home for sale.
We have helpful suggestions so that your
home looks its best. We can help you budget
for clean-up and any repairs that may help
the home sell easily. We can help you decide
which inspections should be completed prior
to listing your home for sale. We know how
to price homes appropriately so that your
home will not be overpriced and sit on the
market for a while without receiving offers.
We also know that you may need us to go
the extra mile to keep both your purchase
and your sale transactions going smoothly.
We have a great track record. No, it’s
not easy, but we’re that good!
