So you have decided to sell your property.
Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame for the selling process.
Why do you want to sell your property?
Do you intend to simply find a larger property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city or state?
You might think your reasons are obvious, but it would do well to consider the implications of each option for your lifestyle, opportunities, and finances.

Let's start with understanding real estate commissions.
Whether or not you elect to have buyer representation, this commission has already been determined contractually and is still due to the seller's agent/company.
Most often, taking a buyers agent out of the equation will save neither the buyer or the seller any money, and it also results in under-representation (or a total lack of representation altogether) for the buyer.
The National Association of REALTORS has shown that when a Buyer's Representative was used, the prospective Buyer found a home an average of one month faster and gained information and access to a minimum of eight more properties than those consumers who did not use a Buyer's Representative.

It is important to talk to a loan officer early in the buying process.
This gives you and your Realtor the knowledge of what you are qualified to spend on a new home.
By setting expectations upfront, we'll be able to narrow your search criteria and focus on those homes that make the most sense with your budget and future monetary goals.
Your loan officer will give you a list of documents they will need in order to determine the best types of financing for you.
This information will include your salary, savings, and debt.

Be clear about what you are looking for.
Identify and communicate what is important to you and why.
Develop a sense of what you want to see when you drive up that generates a sense of "home" to you.
We are able to search on a wide variety of features that most people aren't aware of; if you can't live in a house without hardwood floors, central AC, or you just don't like the looks of the brick exterior - we can define our search based on those parameters.
Please let us know what your absolute requirements are and we can save you a lot of time during the search process.
