Here's the deal: I need money! We all do right? Well, I certainly do not expect any handouts, but in order to have the things I want in life, money is an unfortunate necessity. I am willing to work for it though. As a matter of fact, I am willing to work for you to attain financial reward.
As with virtually every industry, real estate has been hit hard in the current economic climate. This does not mean that you should be afraid to get involved in a real estate transaction, though. As a consumer, there has never been a better time to purchase real estate. Mortgage rates are at historical lows.
It is harder to get approved for a loan these days, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Predatory lending, where lenders were approving loans for people that had no business purchasing, has essentially been eliminated. Shady lending practices by banks and mortgage companies is one of the biggest reasons we are in our present economic situation. As a result, buyers are more protected now than ever before.
As a seller, it is important to be realistic. Having your house appraised is not going to give you the true value of what your home is worth. Only the housing market in your specific area can predict the value of your home. If houses are selling in your neighborhood for $150,000-$175,000, it would be quite difficult to justify an asking price of $210,000. There are many factors to consider, however. The best way to ensure a swift sale of your home is to get the property in good selling condition. Updates in kitchens and bathrooms in particular, are very attractive to prospective buyers. Remember though, just because your home is in better condition or has more upgrades than the house for sale down the street, doesn't mean it will sell for significantly more money. It will, however, make it easier to sell.
I am in a unique position. I am a Realtor that works for a builder. Therefore, I have resources available to me that most other agents do not. I would love to represent you as your buyer's agent or sell your property as your listing agent. If you need to renovate your home prior to selling, however, I can help with that too. Judah Real Estate Group can assist with virtually any type of home improvement. If, after I sell you a home, the roof leaks, the floors need to be replaced, a deck or addition is desired, I hope to be your first call. If it has to do with real estate or home improvement we have the resources to accomplish the task at hand.
Regardless of how you feel about me personally, I can ensure you that professionally, your complete satisfaction will be top priority. Whether you are buying, selling or custom bulding a $500,000 home or just need your driveway repaved, the level of service provided will not waiver. I understand that consumers have many options when choosing real estate and home improvement professionals. All I can ask for is an opportunity to prove myself as your Realtor and our company's expertise in the other aspects of our industry.
