If you’re considering selling your home, you might wonder, “When is the right time to sell?” Traditionally, February through July are ideal months due to heightened buyer activity. However, in today’s market, homes sell year-round. Ultimately, the best time to sell depends on your personal goals and timelines.

Deciding which home improvements offer the best returns can be complex, as not all upgrades are equal. In the current market, we recommend avoiding major investments if you plan to sell your home within five years. Instead, focus on minor updates that can enhance your home’s appeal, helping it sell faster and at a better price.

 

To identify the most effective strategy for your needs, schedule a complimentary pre-selling walkthrough of your home. During this assessment, we’ll evaluate your home from a buyer’s perspective and suggest cost-effective repairs or upgrades, if necessary, to consider before listing.

Congratulations, someone wants to purchase your home! Or, if you’re fortunate, you might have multiple offers on the table. The offer stage is one of the most exhilarating parts of the sales process. Whether you receive the ideal offer right away, need to choose between several offers, or engage in extended negotiations with a difficult buyer, we are here to manage all negotiations on your behalf. Our expertise includes reviewing offers, vetting buyers and their agents, liaising with lenders, and skillfully negotiating. We present all offers to you and negotiate with the most suitable buyers to secure the best price and terms.

In every transaction, three crucial negotiation points arise. The first is the offer to purchase, which encompasses the purchase price, down payment, earnest money, closing date, inspections, and rent backs, among others. The second is the buyer’s repair negotiation, especially critical if you’re selling or buying an older home. The third involves potential negotiations following the appraisal.

 

With our years of experience, we are also Certified Negotiation Experts. This certification signifies that we possess the skills and real-world experience necessary to negotiate effectively on your behalf, ensuring you receive the best possible price and terms.

Most of us need the equity in our current home to purchase our a next one. Selling and buying simultaneously eliminates the need for a bridge loan, avoids the burden of two mortgage payments, and bypasses the hassle of moving into a rental before settling into a new home.

During the pandemic, sellers rarely accepted contingent offers. However, with the market shift, well-structured contingent offers are now welcome.
