š” 10 Most Common Questions We Get As REALTORSĀ®
1. How much is my home worth?
The question we hear most often. The answer depends on recent sales, condition, location, updates, and current market trendsā¦ we like to let the data do the talking.
2. Should I buy first or sell first?
There isnāt a one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your finances, risk tolerance, and how competitive the market is. We would assess as we goā¦
3. Do I need a down payment of 20%?
No. Many buyers purchase with much less, especially first-time buyers.
4. Whatās the first step to buying a home?
Getting pre-approved. It helps you understand your budget and strengthens your position when making an offer. Need lender recommendations? We got āem!
5. How much will it cost to sell my home?
Beyond commission, sellers should consider legal fees, mortgage discharge fees, moving costs, and any preparation expenses.
6. Is now a good time to buy or sell?
The best time is when it makes sense for your life and goals. Market conditions matter, but timing your life matters more.
7. Do I need to make repairs before listing?
Not always. Some updates can increase value, while others wonāt provide a strong return. We help identify what is worth doing.
8. How long will it take to sell my home?
This varies based on pricing, marketing, location, and current inventory levels. Thatās why we like going in with a game plan.
9. Can I buy a home if I already own one?
Absolutely. Many clients are upsizing, downsizing, or relocating while still owning their current property.
10. Why should I use a REALTORĀ® when I can search online myself?
The homes online are just a small part of the process. Negotiation, strategy, paperwork, market knowledge, and protecting your interests are where a REALTORĀ® provides the most value.
