TOP 12 BUYER FAQ'S


WHAT’S THE INITIAL STEP IN PURCHASING A HOME?

The first step in purchasing a home is to get pre-approved. Meet with a lender,
mortgage broker or bank to discuss your income, debts, and assets for
pre-approval. After reviewing your information, the lender will tell you how
much they can lend and at what interest rate.



Get pre-approved also shows sellers you're serious. Sometimes a pre-approval is
required to view expensive residence, but it also speeds up the offer process
once you select a home.




WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IF MY OFFER IS TURNED DOWN?

If your house offer is rejected, here are 3 immediate actions that can be taken:



Increase your offer: If the seller rejected your offer because it was too cheap,
consider boosting it.



Ask for a counteroffer: The seller may reject your offer, but still be willing
to negotiate by offering an alternative. This lets you change your offer or
negotiate closing date or repairs.



Keep looking: If the seller won't negotiate and you won't raise your offer, you
can look elsewhere.




HOW DOES MY AGENT GET PAID WHEN BUYING A HOUSE?

Real estate agents receive a commission from sellers, usually a percentage of
the sale price. The seller and buyer share the commission negotiated by the
seller before listing the home.



Best part? Most buyers don't pay their agent directly. However, the commission
is included in the home's sale price.




WHAT IS A BUYER’S MARKET?

Buyers' markets are opposite sellers' markets. Supply over demand creates a
buyer's market, providing buyers a negotiating advantage. More than a 7-month
supply indicates a buyer's market and property value decline.



Common buyer's market causes:

-Lots of homes for sale

-Recessionary economy

-High mortgage or interest rates

-Mortgage approval issues or tighter lending constraints

-New home construction overexposure




WHAT IS A SELLER’S MARKET?

In a seller's market, inventory is fewer than 5-6 months, hence prices rise. The
low availability of properties on the market keeps housing prices rising.



Common seller's market causes:

-Home inventory shortages

-Economic growth and job creation

-Low mortgage or interest rates

-Reduced lending regulations or simpler mortgage financing

-Slower new construction homebuilding




WHAT DOES "DAYS ON MARKET" (DOM) MEAN?

The "Days on Market" is the number of days a property has been listed on the
local multiple listing service. It starts the day the home is listed and will
accumulate until the seller has accepted an offer and signed a contract.



Knowing the DOM for a home is critical to your negotiating power. Why? Because
the number of days a home spends on the market directly affects the price of a
home. This information can be used to the buyer’s benefit to negotiate a lower
price.





WHAT DOES "CONTINGENT" MEAN WHEN SELLING A HOME?

Contingent means that one thing must happen before another. Real estate deals
fall through if the seller or buyer don't meet specified standards.
Contingencies, or contract “clauses,” safeguard any party from not obtaining
funds, an inspection, or a variety of other possible situations that may arise,




WHAT DOES "APPRAISAL" MEAN WHEN BUYING?

Your home's value is estimated by an appraisal. The appraisal is completed by an
appraiser who gives the lender or bank confidence that the property is worth a
given amount. After the buyer and seller agree on the price, an appraiser
performs a home appraisal to make sure the loan is justified and supported by
the value of the home.


WHAT DOES "FAIR MARKET VALUE" MEAN?

The fair market value is the price a buyer will pay and the seller will accept.
Homes don't always sell for fair value.

If a buyer really wants a property or a bidding war breaks out, a buyer may
offer more than the list price or fair market value.


WHAT IS AN EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT?

After agreeing on pricing, the seller collects earnest money from the buyer and
this money is called the earnest money deposit. This ensures that the buyer is
sincere and not just negotiating deals with other house sellers.



Earnest money typically ranges from 1-3% of the sales price depending on the
market. The buyer will get their earnest money back if the seller backs out. The
buyer will lose their earnest money if they back out under certain conditions.

The earnest money deposit will go towards the closing costs the buyer is
responsible for.


WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIST PRICE AND THE SALE PRICE?

A list price is how much the seller lists the home for, which is also referred
to as their “asking price.” The sale price is the amount of money the home
actually sells for.


WHAT IS TITLE INSURANCE?

Title insurance protects homeowners from allegations made by previous owners,
such as unpaid taxes or unfair contractor compensation. Title insurance covers
legal bills and title disputes during your homeownership.



Two types of title insurance exist:

Selling a home normally requires lender title insurance. The lender is protected
from housing claims with this type.

Owner title insurance is optional, but paying this one-time price will protect
you from title issues for as long as you own the home.

TOP 12 SELLER FAQ'S


HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO SELL?

The primary reason for selling is when the market is thriving. With that being
said, there are other reasons for considering selling. For instance, your family
has outgrown your home and you're ready to downsize. You're also at a point
where you don't want to deal with maintenance and you're emotionally prepared to
deal with the selling process.


HOW MUCH IS MY HOUSE WORTH?

Location, size and layout, condition, features, and market conditions (supply
and demand) all play a role in determining a home's worth.



An agent can perform a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) to evaluate a home's
value.




HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE TO SELL MY HOUSE?

This answer varies on demand, house qualities, local market conditions, interest
rates, among other considerations.



Timelines can be as quickly as a couple of weeks, up to 6 months. Properties
usually average between 2-3 months under typical market conditions. The median
number of days property listings spend on the market is from list date to
closing.




SHOULD I HAVE A HOME INSPECTION DONE BEFORE LISTING MY HOUSE?

Yes! Before listing a house, a home inspection is a good idea.



A home inspection reveals your home's condition and prospective issues. Always
be proactive and consider important repairs and maintenance before selling your
home to ensure your house is in good shape and that you won't be startled by
future repairs.




WHAT ARE SOME THINGS I NEED TO DO TO GET MY HOUSE READY FOR SALE?

From major repairs to staging, preparing a home for sale is essential to selling
it.



Clutter and personal objects are usually removed first. If you have lots of
stuff, you may require a storage facility. Remember that potential buyers want
to visualize their belongings in the house, so make it as neutral as possible.



A deep clean, neutralizing decor, removing pet signs, improving curb appeal, and
staging the home to highlight its strengths are other measures.




WHAT IS A BUYER’S MARKET?

Buyers' markets are opposite sellers' markets. Supply over demand creates a
buyer's market, providing buyers a negotiating advantage. More than a 7-month
supply indicates a buyer's market and property value decline.



Common buyer's market causes:

appraiser who gives the lender or bank confidence that the property is worth a
given amount. After the buyer and seller agree on the price, an appraiser
performs a home appraisal to make sure the loan is justified and supported by
the value of the home.


WHAT IS A TITLE SEARCH?

Title companies conduct title searches to inform buyers and lenders that the
seller is the rightful property owner and can sell the property.



Title searches examine the home's history and owner to find liens and easements.
A lien is a hold on the property to secure payment for IRS taxes, refinanced
mortgages, federal mortgage aid programs, contractor liens, etc. Most of these
concerns are resolved when the home sells and the liens are paid off or erased.




HOW MUCH OF THE SALE PRICE DO I ACTUALLY GET?

Selling your property often yields 90–92% of the sale price, depending on many
conditions. Most include 5–6% realtor commissions and 2–4% taxes and fees. If
you owe on an old mortgage, that'll be taken out as well.



Your closing agent will disperse monies to all parties on closing day. Your
gains are paid by check or wire transfer.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...

Andre is truly the best real estate agent I've met and an all-around fantastic
person! After meeting many agents over the past year, it was a breath of fresh
air to have someone who is truly on your side. It seems like every other agent
just says "yes" to anything and doesn't actually listen to you. Andre always
provides an honest opinion and helped us out in the following ways:



-Extremely attentive. His attention to detail was outstanding and noticed many
faults with the listing that I would not have noticed. He helped us choose the
best home by ensuring there were no major faults in the property we were
selecting.



-Always available. Andre was always willing to make time for us and was willing
to speak with us at any time of the day. A purchase this large comes with stress
that can only be relieved when your questions are answered.



-Industry experience. His experience allowed him to quickly understand other
selling agents and know when they were not willing to offer us a fair deal.

-Excellent negotiating skills. He was able to get us an excellent deal on a
property that was thoroughly reviewed by both ourselves and Andre. Not only were
we confident that he helped us select the property in the best condition, but we
knew he negotiated the best price for us.



I would highly recommend allowing Andre to help you out. He is not like the
rest, and really does make you feel like he's on your side.Thanks for your help
Andre :)

come. Andre's communication was top notch in keeping us in the loop and was
always available and responsive for our questions. He negotiated a great deal
