Why We’re Still Not in a Housing Bubble

Here are three reasons why our housing market is not a bubble.

We Set Our Homebuyers Up for Success Against Cash Buyers

Here’s how we can help you win as a homebuyer against stronger cash offers.

Home Values Are Tough in This Market

In economic markets, the pendulum swings from the edges through the middle. Right now, we’re on one of the edges. When you’re in a market that is dramatically increasing or decreasing (like this current one), it’s hard to tell what your house will sell for. In times like these, we do have a few strategies to help you get top dollar for your home. To find out how we do that, watch my latest video.

Do You Need To Sell Before You Can Buy?

You have options when you need to sell your home to buy a new one.

Can You Walk Away From a Listing Agreement?

“Is it possible for you to back out of a listing agreement?” Mind you, that question is a legal question best answered by an expert, but today we’ll share some of our experiences with this matter and why it’s so important for you to hire the right agent. In short, if you’ve signed a listing agreement with a brokerage, you’re legally bound to that brokerage until the agreement expires or is mutually terminated. That’s why it’s important to think about this before you sign. To learn more, watch our latest video.

How To Improve Your Home When Selling

Are you selling soon? Are you considering selling within the next few years? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you’ll want to refurbish your home a bit before you sell. Today I’m sharing the updates that will provide the most bang for your buck when your home sells, whether that’s in a few months or a few years. To learn what they are, watch this short video.

Offers Will Come With Contingencies

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions from sellers about the difference between a cash offer and a financed offer. A cash offer means that the buyer is purchasing the property out of pocket without a loan or has otherwise waived their financing contingency. A financed offer means that the buyer will be or has already gotten a loan from a lender. To learn more about what to watch out for in the offers you receive, watch this short video.

Don’t Leave Money on the Table When Selling in This Market

It’s no secret that homes are selling quickly in this market. This has a lot of homeowners thinking that they should just find their own buyer and make the deal simpler. You could do that, but there’s one big problem. You have no idea how much your house could sell for unless you hire someone to help expose it to the entire market. A recent client of ours almost left over $100,000 on the table by selling to a neighbor instead of testing this insane market. To learn more, watch this short video.

Should You Sell Your Own Home?

A lot of homeowners we’ve been speaking with have expressed interest in selling their own homes. While you can certainly do that, it won’t necessarily work out how you are picturing it. A homeowner we have been working with almost left $60,000 on the table when selling their home, which is a lot more than a Realtor’s commission will cost.
