Sellers want the most protection when considering offers to purchase their home. Taking the extra time to obtain a pre approval is worth it!

While both are important steps in the mortgage process, a Pre-Qualification and a Pre-Approval are not the same thing.

The key difference between a pre-qualification and a pre-approval is the level of scrutiny your financial information receives. Pre-qualification is based on the information you provide via a phone call or online while a pre-approval involves a more thorough review of your financial history.

Another difference is the level of certainty that a pre-approval provides. A pre-approval letter is a strong indication that you will be approved for the loan, and also lets the sellers and their agent know you are serious about buying a home and can afford the home you want to look at.

Contact me for more information about selling your home.

Even in a seller’s market, taking the time to effectively stage your home can help it sell faster and for a higher price.

Here are 6 tips to set the stage for selling success with your home before you put it on the market.

1. Increase curb appeal: First impressions mean a lot, and a well-kept exterior is your chance to grab positive attention.

2. Perform minor repairs: small fixes can mean the difference between a home that looks well-maintained and one that appears neglected.

3. Make the front door inviting: Help potential buyers feel at home immediately with a clean, fresh entry.

4. Depersonalize: Buyers want to envision themselves living in this space, so put away family pictures, clothing and other personal items.

5. Clean the interior: A clean home can feel almost new, and it helps show buyers you’ve taken care of the property.

6. Brighten spaces: Open curtains and blinds, add light fixtures if necessary and turn on those bulbs to show your home in its best light.
