Okay, I get it. I’m an Agent so obviously I’m going to say this. But really, honestly, truly…I believe it. MYTH: My offer will be stronger without a Buyer's Agent. FALSE: Seller Agents see a flight-risk Buyer, a messier transaction, more liability.

I am not a builder, but based on my research, it seems you can estimate it will cost about 50% of the price of the land to develop it. I would take that into account and then estimate $25,000 for septic and $25,000 for well.

How do I house hunt when my house isn’t on the market? Should I put my house on the market first? Do I need to find a house first? How do I know how much I’ll make on my house and how much I can afford? Do I buy and sell on the same day? HELP!

First, anyone Buying or Selling during the holiday season are motivated. They are serious about it. Homes are priced more competitively. There are less Buyers out there competing. Don’t sleep on the market now!

Would you hire a CPA to prepare your taxes or an Investment Manager to handle your stock portfolio without an interview or reviewing their credentials? I hope not! Hiring a REALTOR should be no different. We are helping you sell or buy your HOME and one of your biggest financial commitments. Make sure we have the skills to SERVE YOU!

The current real estate market isn’t necessarily a fun one, but there seems to be some relief for Buyers these days. Interest rates are still on the high end (~ 7ish%) and inventory is low, but we aren’t seeing offers as crazy.

Scared to buy because of the market? You don’t need to be, but you do need to be prepared. Preparation is your Agent’s job. Personally, I don’t sugar coat it. I try to be open and honest when providing tactics for my clients to consider – CONSIDER being the key word. From there, it is up to YOU to decide what you are and are not comfortable with.

…the offer price is the most important thing…WRONG! Not always.

Is it hard, discouraging, frustrating? It can be. Is it impossible to buy a house? No! May it take time to find the right one AND get an offer accepted? Sure. Is there a way you can prepare? Absolutely.
