FAQS
1) What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Set a Budget: Determine how much you can afford, factoring in not just the mortgage but also taxes, insurance, and potential maintenance costs. I suggest connecting with a local lender. If you need a recommendation, please reach out.
Get Pre-approved: Work with a local mortgage lender to obtain your pre-approval. This shows sellers you're serious and gives you a clear idea of your budget range.
Research and Location: Consider the neighborhood, nearby amenities, schools, and commute times. It's not just about the house but also its surroundings.
Work with Professionals: Hire a real estate agent. They can guide you through the process and ensure you're making informed decisions.
Home Inspection: Always conduct a thorough inspection to identify any potential issues or repairs needed.
Be Patient: Don’t rush into a decision. Finding the right home takes time.
Negotiate Wisely: Don’t be afraid to negotiate on price, especially if there are legitimate concerns or needed repairs.
Understand the Contract: Review and understand all the terms and conditions before signing any contract.
Future Resale Value: Consider the potential resale value of the property, even if you're planning to stay long-term.
Stay Focused: It's easy to get overwhelmed with emotions during the home buying process. Stay focused on your needs and priorities.
Remember, buying a home is a significant investment. Taking the time to research, plan, and make informed decisions can make the process smoother and more rewarding.
2) What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Prepare Your Home: First impressions matter. Ensure your home is clean, decluttered, and staged to highlight its best features. Consider small repairs or touch-ups to enhance its appeal.
Price Realistically: Work with your real estate agent to set a competitive price based on current market trends, comparable sales, and the condition of your home.
Curb Appeal: Enhance the exterior—landscaping, fresh paint if needed, and a welcoming entrance can significantly impact a buyer's first impression.
Professional Photography: High-quality photos and, if possible, virtual tours can attract more potential buyers online, where many start their home search.
Flexible Showings: Be accommodating with showing times to allow a broader range of buyers to view the property.
Marketing Strategy: Work with your agent to develop a comprehensive marketing plan. This might include online listings, social media promotions, open houses, and more.
Disclose Everything: Transparency is key. Disclose any known issues or history of repairs to avoid surprises during the negotiation process.
Be Ready for Negotiations: Understand that buyers may come in with offers below asking price. Be prepared to negotiate terms while staying realistic about your bottom line.
Consider Your Timing: Be aware of the market trends and seasonality. Sometimes timing the listing can make a difference in the selling process.
Stay Flexible: Selling a home can be unpredictable. Stay flexible and open to adjustments in strategy or terms if necessary.
3) What types of clients have you worked with?
I have worked with first-time home buyers, clients looking to downsize, families relocating to and from the Tri-Cities. I have assisted clients with 1031 exchanges, purchasing multi-family investment properties as well as rentals. A few others are those that have suffered a loss in the family or may be going through divorce.
5) How did you get started in Real Estate?
My real estate career began in August of 2020. I had previously worked in the health club industry and covid made it very difficult to return. I have worked as a full-time agent since.
6) Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I have recently obtained my Senor Real Estate Specialist designation (SRES). I also pursued and completed the Commitment to Excellence designation(C2EX) through National Association of Realtors.
