Educating a Homebuyer in Finding Their Dream Home is Our Main Priority

Educating a Homebuyer in Finding Their Dream Home is Our Main Priority

The services we provide for our clients comes from a unique perspective. .
If we don't tell you the true. . we can't help you!
Our experience and knowledge is the value we provide for you.
I heard this statement over the weekend
A first time homebuyer seems to be  waiting to buy their home 
because. ...




1% Rate Change = 10.75% Purchasing Power Change

The changing mortgage rates do more to influence home affordability and home prices
They also can change your monthly mortgage payment to the bank
Your timing is key if you want to buy the most expensive house at the lowest price that you can afford.

If that seems strange to you, think back to the last two years,
you've missed the bottom already!

What a great time was to buy a move up home back then. .
a vacation condo in Florida near the beach was easily found for around $100K!
An investment townhouse walking distance to the Metro Rail System was valued around $150K

Even a condo in Bethesda Maryland was just under $200K then.


Your buying power is being reduced almost by the day!

This information is key for you to make a decision today. .
This is why we believe in our company . .
that all our agents should approach every client with the mindset that they are helping them find their dream home.
The home where a family will make their memories part of their lives.. .for years to come

We Buy Houses in DC

 FAST | CASH | AS IS 



How to Sell Your House Fast , For Cash and AS IS 


You may be faced with the case where you have to sell your home right away. 
You don't the time to fix it, stage it, hire a real estate company, put in the market for weeks (maybe even months), wait for offers and take another 30 to 45 days to settle 
During that time,
The buyer may lose his/her job
The appraisal may not come in at the sales price
The home inspection may discover major issues with your house
You may have to fire your Real Estate Agent and hire a new to start all over again. .

What happens if your situation may be due to bankruptcy or an awaiting foreclosure, a divorce, or simply you are ready to move on and don't feel to bother with the preparations and ordeal to sell a house. .
So, how do you make sure that you get the best deal and the top price at such times? 

"You need to sell your home fast . .for cash and AS IS to solve your problem"


As an experienced Realtor/Broker my advice is that you can still assure yourself to a much higher. . price fast and for cash by just prepaying your house and offer it to local investors.

You can consider the following points.

BE PREPARED: You must be mentally prepared to sell your property. Even more so when this needs to happen right away, especially if you have been living in your house for a number of years. Get ready to move FAST if you want to sell it FAST

FIX UP: Look at your house from an objective standpoint and remove any flaws that you could easily do yourself easily. In some cases, just getting rid of bulky  items around may make your house more valuable to an investor.
Give old furniture away, donates it, sell it on a yard sale. . if you don't use it. .lose it!
Declutter your property, before showing it to potential Investors to get more money..  and this will help you to sell the home more quickly.

PRICE IT RIGHT: The price is the most deciding factor while selling a property quickly. Specially to investors. They are buyers because that is what they do for a living. .buy low, take their time, risk their money and hoping to sell it for more later. You have to be fair and allowed a profit margin for them.

SET YOU EXPECTATIONS: You must understand this, If you want to net most money to sell your house, you need time and money. But if you want to take the easy road to just pick up what you need, leave the trash behind and sell it AS IS for cash in a matter of just a few days. .then you need to set your own expectation as far as the price you are cooking to get. 

Decide, set up the amount you will accept in the price and move on!

Having a plan in place will help by following these points and put you  on the right path to selling your property in Washington DC quickly and getting the right price for it.

FSBO MLS Listing Services MD- DC - VA: HOUSE APPEAL SELLS!

For Sale By Owner MLS Listing Services MD- DC - VA:  

HOUSE APPEAL SELLS!

"Let there be light"  
Open it up and turn on the lights. .a dark house seems smaller and people will not buy what they can not see. . .
You want your house to be vibrant and full of life!
You want people imagining living there. .
rather than. .
squinting their eyes and asking " what's up there?"

Cleanliness is next to godliness 
This refer about the simplest and inexpensive methods to raise your house appeal. . 

Buyers imagine their loved ones using the bathrooms. .(a dirty toilet isn't helping you here)
The cook of the family is also imagining using the kitchen to feed their loved ones. .
A dirty kitchen will not be unnoticed by a buyer . . . I assure you
Dirty kitchens go hand and hand with UNSOLD HOUSES

Watch this video about to raise your house appeal.  .  .when selling your home 





In an attempt to save a few dollars, a for sale by owner  may end up losing a lot  of money by  missing documentation and/or signatures that may cost them the deal and having to start again Worst yet, they are opening themselves to lawsuits for unintentional items that a (sue-happy)buyer may see this as an opportunity. .  . meanwhile Realtors have E&O insurance to cover themselves from any mistakes.

Statistics really show that most FSBO's do not actually save the 6% on commissions but pass on the savings to the buyer while they represent themselves unknowingly of this fact.
