Your Home Buying Plan 1. Choose Your Representative Even if you’re just thinking of buying a home, contacting a real estate agent can provide a wealth of valuable resources. You can get access to a wide range of information that will allow you to be prepared when you are ready to make the next step. 2. Find Your Price Range The best way to find out your price range is to speak to your lender. A mortgage pre-approval will assure that you are ready to purchase a home. It will also allow you to develop a budget and know exactly what to look for when searching for a home. 3. Know What you Want Develop clear specifications on the type of home you want. This includes: price, neighbourhood, accessibility, distance to work, schools, etc. Knowing what you want will put you one step closer to finding the home of your dreams! 4. Find your Dream Home! Once you know exactly what you want and your price range, you will be surprised how much your buying representative will be able to assist you. Before you know it, you will be waking up in the home you’ve always dreamed of! Your Selling Plan 1. Find a Representative The knowledge and dedication of your real estate agent is crucial to the successful sale of your home. A good agent will ensure a smooth, successful and stress-free sale. 2. Determine your Selling Criteria Not only do you have to worry about selling your home, but you also have to think about where you are looking to buy. Determining a selling price is also important, but accepting an offer slightly below your asking price often leads to a quick sale. Your knowledgeable agent will ensure you are satisfied with the result of the sale. 3. Prepare your Home for Showings Homes that are not prepared for showings are one of the main reasons why people fail to sell their homes. We all know the saying: “first impressions last a lifetime”- same thing goes for your home. If your home does not look its best, it will likely result in a sales disaster. 4. Know about the Local Market Knowledge about local market conditions is important for a smooth sale. Being realistic to market conditions will position yourself favorably to sell your home. There is no substitute for a real estate professional for acquiring market information. 5. List it! Nowadays it is important to have an effective online presence. Most buyers begin their search online, and this trend is only growing. Your real estate agent should have the tools necessary to expose your home to a wide range of online sources.
