The Buying & Selling Experience

The Buying Experience

Carefully craft your wish list and try to stick to it. If you are shopping with your partner, discuss your must-haves and deal breakers together so you’ll be on the same page during your house hunt.

Don’t see too many houses in one day. You may begin to feel overwhelmed and confused after touring several homes. Too many homes in a short period of time will run together in your mind and you won’t recall which kitchen or which master bedroom belonged to which house.

Stay within your price range and consider added expenses such as taxes, homeowner’s association fees, maintenance etc.

It takes sales and negotiation skills, a strong network of contacts of home buyers, other Realtors, and a comprehensive marketing strategy to position your home above all the other homes currently for sale.

Improve Your Home

Try things such as replacing the caulk and grout in your bathroom, updating old or rusted ceiling fans and light fixtures, and changing switch plates, doorknobs and other hardware for a clean and neat appearance.
