We Make House Calls
Your Prescription For Buying:
If you're thinking of buying, give us a call and we'll personally tour you through different neighborhoods and we'll look at homes that meet your specific needs. Our services are FREE to you! If you choose us and we find you a house, all fees are paid by the SELLER in the form of previously negotiated co-broker and listing agreements. We'll work for you to negotiate a price, fill out all necessary paperwork, and all other duties that are in your best interest. All this is at no charge to you. There are no hidden charges!
Why Own?
The benefits of owning your own home are numerous. The biggest advantages include income tax savings, financial investment, more space and the freedom and flexibility to create your own environment that suits your needs.
Your Prescription For Selling:
Determining the selling price Determining a realistic asking price is the most important part of marketing your home. Buyers are looking at homes and trying to find the best value for their money. Making sure your home is priced competitively is very important. If your price is too high, you'll miss out on the buyers looking at homes in the price range that your home should be in. Starting too high will keep some potential buyers away. Then, by the time you lower the price, it may be to late. Buyers may have found another home. Others may wonder why the house has not sold or think you are desperate to sell and offer an even lower price than you would have received had it been priced right to begin with. If your home is priced right, it will attract more potential buyers and will sell faster because Realtors® will focus on your home because it is more marketable.
Here's Where We can help.
There is a lot involved in marketing your home. The first step will be to conduct a free Comparative Marketing Analysis(CMA). We will look at records of comparable homes that have sold in your area and also look at homes that are currently on the market. We will compare these properties to yours and this will help in determining the correct selling price of your home and make it more marketable.
