Real Estate

There are certain factors that are within our control and some factors beyond our control when it comes to setting the price.

Those factors within our control are: the appearance of the property, how aggressively we market the property and the price.

Factors outside our control are: location of property, size and local amenities. It’s important to accept those factors that are beyond our control and focus on the pricing and preparation. A property priced at market value will attract more buyers than a home priced above market value.

Consider that a competitively priced property will also attract a greater number of potential buyers and increase your opportunity for a quick sale.​

Market Value Calculations

The fair market value of your home is used by lenders to work out a refinance or home equity loan, by the tax assessor to calculate your municipal property taxes and by insurers to set homeowners insurance premiums. The fair market value is the price your home would sell for if you placed it on the open market for a reasonable amount of time, and both parties--you and potential buyers--acted on your best interests. Knowing what a property would sell for in an ideal market is not a straightforward calculation. There is no set formula to calculate fair market value, but there are established methods you can use to arrive at an educated estimate.

Home Buyers

Although there are many good reasons for you to buy a home, wealth building ranks among the top of the list. We call home ownership the best “accidental investment” most people ever make. But, we believe when it is done right, home ownership becomes an “intentional investment” that lays the foundation for a life of financial security and personal choice. There are solid financial reasons to support your decision to buy a home, and, among these, equity buildup, value appreciation, and tax benefits stand out.

Home Sellers

Understanding today’s Home Buyers is the key to successfully selling your home.

It’s important to note that there are numerous other factors that influence a buyer, and you need to understand these consumer trends when you enter the sellers' market. The more your home matches these qualifications, the more competitive it will be in the marketplace. Your real estate agent can advise you on how to best position and market your home to overcome any perceived downsides.

Offer to Purchase and Contract

​At a minimum, your offer must clearly identify you and the seller, and state the sales price, and closing date and all of the terms agreed upon by you and the seller. It must also contain an adequate legal description of the property (for example, a reference to a recorded plat map or deed) - - a street address alone is not sufficient. There are many other important provisions you should consider. For example, to assure that items or features of the property you have seen in advertisements or MLS information are included in the sale, you or your agent should list them in your offer. Any form contract supplied to you by a real estate agent must include at least eighteen separate required provisions. The standard form “Offer to Purchase and Contract” includes all these and many more.
