Accepting An Offer >Know Your Price Range

As a homebuyer, you may have found the perfect new house for your growing family, but what if it is a little out of your price range? You might list your current home for more than it is worth and be lucky enough to find a qualified buyer who is willing to pay the price, but it is impossible to know in advance what your home will sell for.

If you want to sell your home quickly, have a frank and detailed conversation with your real estate agent to determine the best price for the house. Setting your price within 5% of the fair market value of your home greatly increases your chances of getting solid offers that will result in a relatively quick sale.

Don't buy and sell so close to your target amount that you become anxious when the numbers don't meet your expectations. There may be other approaches, such as adjustable rate mortgages or owner financing, to increase your buying power and get you into that new home. When you are selling one home and buying another, you will need more than good luck. You will need a highly professional and experienced real estate agent who can give you solid advice on how to make the transaction work for your particular requirements.

My clients choose me because I am committed to serving their needs. My actions are timely. My advice is objective. My assistance is un-intimidating. My service is complete. My drive is your success. It is a well-known fact that I utilize more technology-based marketing tools than any other area agent or firm! Digital photography, website advertising, and 24-hour availability are key elements to getting a home sold in todays market. When you begin your search to buy a home or prepare to list a home, it makes sense to have somebody help you that knows homes. My wife Julie and I have fully restored two homes. Our first was a Chicago Bungalow on the North Side; in 2000 we complete and sold our English Cottage on the 900 block of Marion in Oak Park. These homes were not quick rehabs to make money. They were our homes filled with hard work (more than 50% of the labor was our own), fun memories, and quality finishing. We have recently embarked on a restoration that will (hopefully) be our last. We purchased a Victorian at 320 N. Euclid and estimate a restoration process of more than seven years. Taking care of my customers needs is job #1 and leads to long workweeks. This is all I do, everyday, seven days a week. Let me help you learn what to do and what NOT to do in order to get your home sold. If you are buying a home, your job is just as rigorous. I can help you with everything from home inspectors to mortgage brokers. Selling or buying I help you with every detail to get you to that closing date.
