If you’re interested in a home, what should you offer for it? Today, I’ve got some key tips.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value Report When you see a house you’re interested in as a buyer, what should you offer? It’s easy to wonder when you see a list price whether you should offer more, offer less, or offer at the asking price. This is where your Realtor comes in. They will help you determine the best course of action.One of the first things you should consider is the length of time the house has spent on the market. If a property has been on the market for a long time, don’t offer more than they’re asking. In fact, you should probably offer less. Before coming up with a price, you also need to look at comparable properties. Look at homes that are similar in size, bedroom count, bathroom count, and other important aspects. What are they selling for? The patterns you might notice across these homes could help you formulate your offer. The right Realtor will help you determine the best course of action. But you can’t just look at the comparable properties. These properties are ones that sold in the past. You also need to look at what’s currently selling. Consider the level of interest being shown in those homes and in the one you’re interested in. The more people interested in a given home, the higher the price it will sell for.This is what a good agent will do for you. They’ll consider all of these aspects and will also talk to the listing agent for you. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Year over year, prices increased in our third quarter much in the same way we’ve seen over the past decade.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportHow do the numbers from our third quarter market stack up against the numbers we saw from the third quarter of 2016? Let’s take a look at the latest data. The median sales price for single-family homes rose 6.8% from $1.3 million to $1.4 million. For condos and lofts, the median sales price rose 11.4% from $1.1 million to $1.2 million. These increases are typical of the pattern we’ve been seeing in our market over the past 10 years or so, which is a healthy indication. The average days on market for single-family homes dropped 18.1% from 36.3 days to 29.8 days. For condos and lofts, the average dropped 0.4% from 54.6 days to 54.4 days. The price per square foot for single-family homes rose 6.1% from $857 to $909. The price for condos and lofts rose 2.2% from $1,038 to $1,061.The median sales price for single-family homes and condos and lofts rose once again. The number of sold listings for single-family homes rose 2.3% from 571 units to 584 units. For condos and lofts, the number dropped 15.5% from 663 units to 550 units. Single-family homes typically sell faster than condos here in San Francisco because there is only so much land to go around, and you can’t just build them on top of each other the way you can with condos. The list-to-sale price ratio for single-family homes rose 4.5% from 111.4% to 116.4%. The ratio for condos and lofts rose 1.3% from 104.2% to 105.6%. Lastly, the supply of inventory for single-family homes dropped 35.1% from 2.8 months to 1.8 months. For condos and lofts, the supply dropped 26% from 3.4 months to 2.5 months. This low level of inventory explains why prices are staying strong.

What is the difference between a home warranty and home insurance? I’ll explain today. Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportHome insurance is very different from a home warranty. The difference is similar to the difference between car insurance and a car warranty. If you get in an accident driving your car, insurance will cover it. If something is broken in the car, then your warranty will cover it. The same can be said for home insurance and home warranties. For example, if there is a fire and your house burns down, or if there is a water leak in your property, home insurance will cover the repairs. A home warranty will give you peace of mind for the first year of homeownership. A home warranty covers things like appliances or plumbing in your unit. If those items were to fail, you wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for repairs. One of my clients bought a house and a month later the waste line under the garage burst. He called the home warranty company and they came out and got that fixed for him. Without the warranty, he would have had to pay $3,000 out of pocket. A home warranty is very important for that first year after you purchase your home. They only cost around $500 to $550 tops and they give you peace of mind. If you have any other questions about home warranties or home insurance, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

If you want to reinforce your offer as a buyer, write a “love letter” to go along with it to let the seller know who you are and why you’d be a great candidate to buy their house.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportWhenever one of my buyers writes an offer for a house, there’s a “love letter” attached to it. What is a real estate love letter, though? Why should you consider writing one when trying to buy a house?This kind of letter tells the seller who you are—your background, why you’re interested in the house, etc. Sometimes, I even see pictures attached to these types of letters. This way, the seller gets a better idea of who’s buying their house, whether or not they’ll be able to take good care of it, and other things of that nature. This letter is all the more important nowadays because buyers and sellers don’t meet as often as they used to. Without a love letter, all a seller sees is a purchase agreement and its terms. Just to be clear, the purchase price and terms are the most important parts of an offer, but you should still write a love letter because it might give you the nod over another prospective buyer in a multiple offer situation. Without a love letter, all a seller sees is a purchase agreement. For example, if you and another buyer write two offers for the same property and the prices and terms are the same, the seller might accept yours because they know who you are and know you spent the time to write the letter in the first place. In their eyes, you probably care about the house a little bit more. These letters don’t need to be five-pages essays. Just write a simple, one-page letter and you’ll be fine. If you have any questions about this topic or you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in the San Francisco area, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I’d love to help you.

These things are very important.Real estate is much more of a service business than a sales one. Also, remember that real estate transactions are usually some of the biggest and most significant transactions people will make in their lives.

What makes a successful real estate agent? Today I’ll lay out the most important qualities a successful agent should have.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportThis is a common question that I’m asked.We’re not talking about getting a license and becoming a real estate agent, but about what it takes for you to become a successful Realtor.The prevailing myth is that you take your clients out to show them a few properties and boom— you sell them a house and you’re done. That scenario makes up only 10% of what an agent does. To even get to that point, you need to first get clients. How are you going to find these clients? You need to display some qualities that will attract these clients. The first is that you need to show people that you actually care for their welfare as your client, and that you aren’t just looking for a quick commission check. This means that you’re there to protect them from any issues along the way.You need to show clients that you care about them, not just a commission check. If you’re representing a buyer, you want to make sure that the house you’re showing them is the one that they’re looking for. You also need to be ready to negotiate on their behalf if something is wrong with the home or it needs repairs. If you’re representing a seller, you’re there to help them sell their home for top dollar. You need to be sure that you can demonstrate that you have the marketing skills to find them the right buyer who will pay the right price for their home.It’s not easy to be a successful real estate agent, but it’s achievable with hard work, integrity, and demonstrating that you care for your clients and will represent them to the best of your ability.If you have any questions about this topic or you’re looking to buy or sell a home, please give me a call.

Are you looking to determine the true value of your home? Don’t trust Zillow to do that for you. Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportEveryone knows what Zillow is; it gets millions of clicks every day. Everyone goes there to figure out how much their property is worth or to look for houses, but there’s a problem with that. Those home values aren’t always good. Their estimates are based on tax records or recent properties that have sold, and that information could already be dated and therefore inaccurate.One of the things that Zillow will never know is the exact condition of a home. Zillow doesn’t know if you’ve updated the kitchen or the bathroom, or if the inside has been remodeled, and won’t be able to count for that value. They only base the value on the tax records and square footage.So let’s say both you and your neighbor’s houses are 2,000 square feet, but your house has been updated on the inside and your neighbor’s has not. Since Zillow hasn’t seen the inside, you may see the same value for both houses, even though yours should be valued at a higher price.Additionally, the estimates are inaccurate because Zillow uses old data that may be lagging behind by three to six months. The estimate tool on Zillow is more of a starting point. It gives you an idea of what your home might be worth but ultimately, you have to talk to your Realtor to get your home’s true value.The estimate tool on Zillow is more of a starting point. Have your Realtor go out and compare properties that are on the market now, not look at stuff that was sold three months ago. Have your agent talk to you about what’s selling right now. Zillow will never know what the price is in this current market.If you don’t believe me, do a little bit of a research. In fact, there’s a woman in Illinois suing Zillow over their estimate feature, and people are jumping on this thing. It’s turning into a class action lawsuit because of how inaccurate this estimate feature really is. Sit down and talk with your Realtor so that you can be sure that the value you get for your home is correct.If you have any other questions about this topic or you’re looking to buy or sell a home, give me a call. I’d be happy to help!

Home inspections are an important and common part of the home buying process. However, if you get the inspection report back and find issues that weren't disclosed by the seller, things can get complicated.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportAn inspection is an important part of the home buying process. So, what do you do when you get the inspection report back with an issue that wasn't disclosed by the seller? It could be an issue with a leaky roof or termites, for example.Your first step is to talk to your Realtor to find a professional who specializes in a given area who can give you a proper bid on the cost of repair for the damages. So say you get a bid to repair a roof for $3,000. At that point, your agent would ask the seller's agent for either a $3,000 credit or a price reduction. Typically, I don't want to ask the seller to repair the issue because they usually won't want to do that. Usually, they just want to sell the property and move on. Even if they agree to take on the repair, they probably won't find the best person for the job like I can.Sellers usually just want to sell the property and move on, not make a bunch of repairs. If the seller says no to your credit request, you can start negotiating. For one, you could say you won't buy the house if they don't provide the credit. Many times, it won't go that bad; the buyer and seller will often meet somewhere in the middle to find a credit amount that's agreeable to both parties. Ideally, you'll have a strong Realtor on your side who can negotiate as much as possible for you to get the most money back.If you have any questions about this topic or you're thinking of buying or selling a home here in San Francisco, give me a call or send me an email.

What’s changed in the San Francisco real estate market over the last three months? We’ll look at home prices and inventory today.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportWhat’s changed since our last market update? First of all, let’s look at inventory. Inventory in the San Francisco area is pretty stable. There is not a whole lot of inventory, but we’re not exactly experiencing a shortage either. Right now, we are in a flat market. In my opinion, that’s a good thing in the long run. When the market shoots up quickly, it will dive down just as fast, if not faster. How fast are homes selling? Right now, I have four listings. Two just went under contract, and one actually sold for more than asking price. The other sold for a little below asking price. Our market is in an interesting place because certain pockets are selling for over asking price while others are not. Condition and location determine whether or not a home will sell over asking price. One of those two listings had been completely remodeled, but the other was in a slightly better area. The one in the better area sold for over asking, while the remodel went for just below asking. A couple of years ago, homes sold above asking price all the time. In our current market, the sales price really depends on where the property is and what kind of condition the home is in. Homebuyers today are looking for turnkey properties. We also have a nice, two-bedroom condo in a great area that, as of this recording, is still available, so let me know if you would like to learn more about it. Overall, prices are stable in our current market. Some homes are selling for more than the asking price but that really depends on location, location, location. If you have any other questions about our current market, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I would be happy to help you!

A buyer consultation does many things. It saves you time and makes the search process easier to name a few.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportWhy is a buyer consultation such an important step in the home buying process? The biggest thing a buyer consultation does is save time. When I’m able to sit down with a buyer and ask them about their wants, their needs, their must-haves in a home, and all their different wish lists, I can narrow down the search considerably. Most times, I can narrow things down to a list of the five to 10 properties that match your criteria the most. In order to know which listings you’ll like the most, I use a number of different methods. I take a look at all the available listings on the MLS, of course, but I can even look for properties that aren’t even on the market. These off-market properties are purchasable, but they aren’t listed for sale. A lot of times I hear about these homes from other Realtors, clients, and friends in the business. When I know exactly what you’re looking for, I can use that information to try and match you with an off-market property if possible. Off-market homes are great because there usually aren’t many buyers for you to compete with. I might be able to match you with an off-market property. Finally, a buyer consultation is a good chance to determine if you’re compatible with your agent. I want to be able to talk to my clients, not just about their transaction, but about their day and their life in general. I like getting to know my clients on a personal level, and that has resulted in a lot of great friendships over the years.If you have any questions about what a buyer consultation does or you’re interested in buying or selling a home yourself, give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

Ideally, you should only remodel your home before listing it if you have the budget and time frame. However, there are also certain situations where you’re better off not updating it. Buying a San Francisco Home? Search All Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a Free Home Value ReportShould you remodel your home before selling it?Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule to answer that question. If you have the time and the budget, though, I say go for it. Typically, the more money you put into a remodel project, the more money you get back when you sell your house. Bathrooms and kitchens are the two most important rooms to focus on for remodeling because they only take a month or so to upgrade and they generate the biggest return on investment. In San Francisco especially, they can generate a return of almost 200%. That means if you invested $10,000 in either area, you would get back $20,000 or $30,000 easily. You should also consider investing in an outdoor living space. If you have a backyard, you could add a deck or build some decking material. I’ve seen this addition generate a return as high as 300% and even 400%. Make sure you have the budget and time frame before remodeling your home. Lastly, consider painting as part of your remodeling. You can improve your curb appeal by painting the exterior of your home. On the inside, people love colors that are warm and neutral. It will likely cost you a couple thousand dollars, but you get so much more in return. We’re already into the selling season, so if you could remodel your home now and put it on the market in May, that would be fantastic.Is there ever a situation where you shouldn’t remodel your home, even if you have the budget? Yes. If your home is in terrible shape or it’s a fixer-upper and you’re in the type of market where people are looking for fixer-uppers to buy, don’t bother. If you were to try to renovate the place on your own, it may take as long as an entire year. By that time, the market might shift on you. Like I said, we’re in a seller’s market, so you want to put your home on the market now instead of waiting a year and seeing what happens. If you have any questions about this topic or are looking to buy or sell a home in our market, don’t hesitate to send me an email or give me a call. I’d be happy to assist you.

First of all, according to the National Association of Realtors, the majority of people in the United States think that you need 20% down to purchase a home. That is simply not true. To give you some perspective, the median down payment for first-time homebuyers has been 5% for decades. There are many programs available to buyers that only require 3% down, and there are some special loan programs that don’t require any money down. You can even get grant money for closing cost assistance to get into a home.Ask a local mortgage provider to find the best option for you  Ultimately, you need to talk to a local mortgage provider to assess your financial needs and profile so they can recommend a custom mortgage solution.

What does a good offer look like? There are three things you should look out for if you’re receiving multiple offers.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportThere are three things that sellers should keep an eye out for when deciding between offers in a multiple offer situation: 1. Terms. Look at what kinds of terms are on the contract offer. Are they doing an inspection? If so, how long is the inspection contingency period? Anywhere from seven to 14 days is normal. Any longer than that is unnecessary. 2. Disclosures. When you sell a property, you will have to fill out disclosures to present to the buyer to know if there are any issues within the house. The buyer should sign off on these disclosures when they make an offer. It minimizes the chances of them coming back with a problem with the home that they didn’t know about before.“These items will give you a better idea of what to look for. ” 3. How strong the buyer is. To find that out, have your agent contact the buyer’s lender and talk to them directly to discuss things like their down payment, credit history and score, and more. All of these items will give you a better idea of what to look for when selling your home. If you have any other questions for us or are looking to buy or sell a home, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you. 

Today we’re discussing the top tips for staging your home. Homes that are staged and show well almost always sell faster and for more money. Buying a San Francisco Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportToday we wanted to talk about a special topic when it comes to getting your home ready for the market: Staging.To start, remember to think about creating a great first impression. When a potential buyer sees your house for the first time from the outside, you want to make sure it’s freshly painted, is clean, and looks welcoming. You’ll never get another chance to make a first impression, so make sure everything looks clean and fresh.Secondly, make sure your home is always show-ready. Buyers might want to see your home at any point throughout the day, so make sure the blinds are open to let light in. At night, make sure all your lights are turned on as well. Get rid of clutter, because nothing is worse than your home looking smaller because there’s clutter everywhere.Thirdly, be sure to focus on your kitchen and bathrooms. These two rooms are very important, so much so that many times, you’ll get more money back than what you invest in them. Statistics show focusing on the right updates can return 200% on your investment with things like painting the cabinet doors and replacing the fixtures and hardware with more modern steel or chrome.Upgrading your kitchen and bathrooms can net you a 200% return on your money. For example, I recently had a client who sold her condo that was built in the 90s. The fixtures were outdated and the cabinets were worn out, so all she had to do was paint the cabinets and add some new chrome fixtures. She also replaced the backsplash. Thanks to these simple items, we sold her condo for top dollar and even set the new high comp in the building.Next, make sure your house is free of personal and family photos. When buyers come in, you want them to focus on the space, not your photos.Finally, keep your home free of pet accessories. Dogs and cats are wonderful and cute, and most people love them. However, some buyers are very picky or they might be allergic to animals. Get rid of these things so buyers don’t have to worry about them or focus on a smell or dander that could trigger their allergies.If you have any other questions about staging your home or anything else related to preparing your home to sell in San Francisco, give me a call or send me an email soon.

Can you trust Zillow’s Zestimates to come up with the correct value for your home? Unfortunately, the answer is no, and there are three reasons why. Buying an Pennsylvania Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your  Pennsylvania  Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportA lot of people ask whether the home value they find on Zillow, also known as a Zestimate, is accurate. Can you really trust that Zestimate? Zestimates work almost the same way as a tax assessment: Zillow’s algorithm takes the sale prices of homes that are similar to yours and in the same area, then it compares that information to your property’s square footage in order to come up with an estimate on the value of your property. Unfortunately, the reality is that, although they can be accurate sometimes, Zestimates are often incorrect. On average, the Zestimate has a margin of error of about 20%.Zestimates have a 20% margin of error.  There are three factors that impact the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of your Zestimate: 1. Your property’s location. If you live in a cookie-cutter subdivision that has a lot of like-kind houses and a high number of recent sales, then it’s highly likely that your Zestimate will be more reflective of the accurate value of your home. However, if your property is in a very unique area or if you have a rural property with a lot of unique features, then it’s less likely that the Zestimate will be accurate. 2. Your property’s condition. If you made a lot of recent updates, the homes around you are not similar, or if your home has unique features such as a finished basement, a Zestimate will probably not factor those features into its calculation. 3. Your property’s location in relation to recent sales. For example, you may live in that cookie-cutter subdivision, but if you live on the edge, then the algorithm will take properties outside of the subdivision into consideration when calculating your Zestimate. Those properties might just be a block away but if they are completely different than yours, that will definitely throw off your Zestimate. If you live in a subdivision where all the homes are bigger than yours or sit on a larger lot, then your Zestimate will also be incorrect.Your Zestimate really depends on those three factors in your local real estate market. If you would like a more customized and accurate home value estimate, give us a call. This spring, we are offering a free, no obligation, maximum home valuation. Our representatives will go through your home, give you a detailed estimate of value, and provide a list of suggestions that you can use to maximize your home’s value.

Listing photos are an important part of the home selling process. However, there are five sale-killing mistakes you need to avoid when taking listing photos.Buying an Pennsylvania Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your  Pennsylvania  Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportWhen you sell your home, the listings photos are an incredibly important part of getting prospective buyers into it. However, there are five sale-killing mistakes that you need to avoid when you take your listing photos: 1. No more corners. For some reason, sellers love to take pictures of the corners of different rooms in their home. Nothing is gained from buyers looking at the corners of a room; instead, photograph focal points in each room. 2. The grass is always greener. Photos of nature surrounding your home make sense if you are focusing on some kind of flora or fauna. However, a close-up on the bark of your tree or a patch in your lawn does not make sense. Take a broad picture of your home with nature behind it or highlight some specific aspect of your landscaping. 3. On the outside looking in. Don’t just take exterior photos of your home. If you do, the buyer will wonder what is wrong with the home. Make sure there are plenty of high definition photos of the interior of your home.There aren’t many people who want to buy a haunted house.  4. A haunted look doesn’t help. If your photos make your home look menacing, make sure you redo them. Dark, grainy photos with unclear shadows can make your home look haunted. Pictures that you take on your phone won’t make the cut, either. Make sure you have quality, professional photos. 5. Let the sunshine in. It is a scientific fact that bright, well-lit homes sell faster and for more money. Give the public what they want and make sure your home is as bright as possible. If you have any other questions about listing photos or the home selling process in general, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a FREE Home Value Report A lot of people are curious what’s going to happen in the San Francisco market in 2017. Today, I wanted to give my market forecast for the upcoming year.According to Realtor.com, interest rates are expected to rise. They won’t rise too much; the forecast is for rates to rise to about 4.5%. Many people were worried about rates after the election, but I think the Fed will keep things pretty stable.Another thing many people are worried about is whether people will still buy and sell homes in our market. The short answer is yes. In fact, the average number of transactions is predicted to rise about 5.5%. Compared to last year, more people will actually be buying and selling. That indicates good overall health in our market.“The health of our market should continue to improve in 2017. ” Lastly, what’s going on with prices? Will they go up along with volume and interest rates? According to Realtor.com, the average home value is expected to increase by 4%, which is good news as well.Hopefully, this helps give you a better idea of what to expect from out market in 2017.

Every buyer knows that they need a down payment in order to purchase a home. Today, I’ll go over five unique options you can use to save for your down payment.Buying an Pennsylvania Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your  Pennsylvania  Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportWhen buying a home, it’s very important that you have your down payment ready to go. Here are a few unique options to help you save for a down payment: 1. Consider crowdsourcing your home.2. Ask the seller for help. Asking the seller to assist with closing costs is a common way to free up more money for your down payment. Ask your lender what the limits for closing costs are on your loan program, and then ask your Realtor to help negotiate for the seller to pay the closing costs on your behalf.3. Look into government options. The department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, has a site with links to all 50 states. These links provide information on different options to help you get the home of your dreams. There is also the Good Neighbor Next Door program, which provides closing cost assistance for teachers, firefighters, police officers, and more. Of course, there is also the VA loan, which helps veterans purchase homes.If the seller pays closing costs, you’ll have more money for the down payment.  4. Check with your employer. Some employers offer programs to help low-to-moderate income employees purchase a home.5. Take advantage of special lender financing options, such as a USDA or FHA loan. You may have to meet certain income requirements in order to qualify for one of these loans. The property has to meet certain requirements as well, but these are great options to help buyers get the home of their dreams.Of course, you can always combine some of these options to get the home that you want. If you have any questions about any of these five methods, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

Selling your home during the holidays isn’t as hopeless as you may think. In fact, there are some great advantages to selling now.  Buying a San Francisco Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a FREE Home Value Report It’s wintertime and we are approaching the holidays. A lot of people ask us around this time of year if this is a good market to sell their home in. You may think it’s not because it’s colder out and people are getting ready for the holidays. However, there are actually a few advantages to selling your home this time of year. First, are there any homes that are similar to yours listed on the market right now? If there aren’t, maybe it’s time you listed yours. You won’t have as much competition and buyers will want to bid on your property because it’s unique to an area. You may even get multiple offers. Have your trusted Realtor do the necessary research to see what homes similar to yours are on the market right now. If you do decide to wait, keep in mind that your competition will be much greater. “It’s worth putting your house on the market, even at this time of year. ” The other thing you want to think about is what kind of time frame you are working with. Do you need to sell right away? If you need to get out of your home sooner and the competition is minimal, it’s worth putting your house on the market, even at this time of year. I’ve had plenty of clients successfully sell around this time of year in the past.  If you have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email.

When hiring an agent to sell your home, make sure to ask them these seven questions in order to pick the best one for the job. Buying an Pennsylvania Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your  Pennsylvania  Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportIf you are planning on selling your home, how can you make sure that you select the best agent for the job? We have seven questions that you should ask when interviewing agents in order to hire the best one.1. How long have you been selling homes? You wouldn’t want to go to a doctor who’s just one year out of medical school. It’s helpful to have an agent that’s been in the business a while and has some experience under their belt.2. How many homes did you sell last year? A lot of agents like to tout the success of their company. Ask them how they have done year to year. Ask them to bring that data along to the interview. Again, it’s helpful to work with an agent who has a lot of experience. You could have a long-time veteran agent who has been in the industry for 20 years but only sells two homes a year, or you could have an agent who’s been working for four years but sells 30 to 40 homes a year. The second agent would have more experience.Not all real estate agents are Realtors.  3. How are you going to market my home? It’s important to have a detailed marketing plan that is written down. 4. Will you represent me exclusively? In Pennsylvania, an agent can represent you the seller, or the buyer, or both. If an agent is going to do dual agency, make sure that you understand it and consent to it. 5. How will you keep me informed? We find that communication is one of the most important things to our sellers and clients. Ask them what their communication plan is and how often they intend to talk to you. 6. Can you provide references? Ask for three or more references and ask for contact information. Make sure that you follow up with them so you can see what their experience was working with this agent. 7. Are you a Realtor? Not all real estate agents are Realtors. If your agent is a Realtor, that means they are a member of the National Association of Realtors, which has been a champion for professionalism and ethics in real estate for over a century. Those seven questions will help you pick the best agent for the job. If you have any other questions about hiring an agent or selling your home, give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!

If you own a pet or two, there are a few things you need to do to sell your home. Today, I’ll go over six essential tips for selling a home with pets.Buying a Seattle Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your Seattle Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportRenee and I have been pet lovers for a long time. We’ve had many dogs, cats, and birds over the years; Renee even breeds Andalusian horses! We are keenly aware of how tricky it can be to sell your home and keep your pets happy. Today, I thought I’d go over six essential tips for home sellers with pets.1. Check your home insurance. Although you know that your pets would never hurt anyone, they may scratch or bite potential buyers whom they mistake for intruders in their home. Make sure that your homeowners insurance covers you, just in case this happens. However, some insurers don’t cover anyone who owns what they consider a vicious breed, such as a pit bull. If they do provide coverage, it could be more expensive for certain breeds. Ultimately, it’s best to keep dogs out of the house during showings, but if you can’t, make sure you’re covered. 2. Prepare your yard. Buyers will walk around your yard and their stroll could be ruined if they see or step in dog poop. Make sure to clean up before each showing, and double-bag that waste so that buyers don’t encounter any unpleasant smells. If your dog is a digger, make sure to fill up any holes in the yard. Replace ugly patches with new sod or grass seed and walk your dogs around the block to keep your yard in pristine condition. 3. Remove odors. This is one of the biggest challenges that pet owners face. It can be difficult to erase years of piddle from rugs or hardwood floors. Consider hiring a professional cleaning service to take care of your carpets, rugs, and flooring. Since you live there, you might not think your home smells, but ask someone you trust to tell you the truth.A professional cleaning service can remove pet odors from your home. 4. Clean up the hair. Pet hair looks messy and can trigger allergies, sending potential buyers sneezing and wheezing out the door. Vacuum and dust your home before showings. Consider investing in a Roomba. We have one scheduled to go out and pick up all the hair a couple of times a day, and it works pretty well.5. Hide the evidence. Pets tend to come with a lot of stuff. Put away leashes, water bowls, sweaters, toys, and chew bones. Stow everything in a cupboard or closet. Move the dry food container to the laundry room or mudroom, and put pet beds away.6. Take your pets with you or crate train them. If you leave dogs and cats at home during showings, you need to either crate them or confine them to a special area of the house. Give them an interactive or long-lasting chew toy to pass the time. Let the listing agent know so they can make a note in the MLS alerting buyers' agents that pets will be in the home during showings. If you can, though, set a playdate for your pets and get them out of the house during showings. Check out the dog park or visit a friend’s house.Now, pets can get anxious and confused when their daily routines are changed. Talk to your vet so they can help you ease that transition for the pets. Not only can they help your pets while you sell your home, they can also prepare your pets for moving to a new home. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

If you’re a home buyer, there are five things you need to know about how home inspections function.Buying an Pennsylvania Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your  Pennsylvania  Home? Get a FREE Home Value ReportAs a home buyer, what are the five most important things to know about home inspections?1. You can choose your own inspector. You can get a referral from a real estate agent or someone else who’s recently bought a home or just look up the National Association of Home Inspectors. This is an association that home inspectors are typically members of if they’re qualified. If they’re members of that association, they’ve typically completed a training program, shown competence in the home inspection trade, and completed a written exam.2. Inspections are not a pass/fail process. A lot of our clients believe that the inspection is a black and white result, but that’s not the case. On the contrary, home inspections are often general reports that consist of 20 to 40 pages of general information about the home which you can use for many years into the future in reference to the structural elements of your home. They do include a list of material defects and (usually) safety issues, and it’s your responsibility to determine if those things are concerning enough to impact whether you’re going to purchase the home or not.Inspections aren’t black and white.  3. Inspections are intended for adverse conditions. They’re not necessarily just for cosmetic issues. We advise that you attend the inspection just so you can talk with the home inspector about what’s important and what’s not, in their opinion. No house is perfect; all of them have some adverse conditions and defects that are listed in the inspection.4. Our agreements of sale in Pennsylvania allow the home buyer three different options as the result of the inspection period. The first option is to accept the property based on the information in the report. The second option is to terminate the agreement and get your earnest money back. The third (and most common) is to ask the seller to repair some of the items that came up in the report.5. Home inspectors are not specialists. They are more like general practitioners that are going to give you information about all aspects of the home. We advise that you consult a specialist like an electrician or a plumber if there is a major issue that needs to be addressed. Do this before you choose any of the options discussed in number four.If you have any questions about home inspections or anything else related to real estate, please don’t hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email. We look forward to talking with you soon!

If you're leaving your house for a vacation, it's important to keep it safe while you're away. I have five tips to stave off unwanted visitors to your home while you're gone.Buying a San Francisco Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a FREE Home Value Report If you leave your home for vacation, there are five main things you should do with your home to keep it safe: 1. Get a WiFi doorbell. With these smart doorbells, you can see anyone who rings your doorbell on your smartphone. If it's someone you don't want at your front door, you can communicate that to them through the doorbell, too. That way, they'll never know that you're not home. You can get one for about $200. 2. Make sure your home is well-lit, especially the exterior. I recommend having motion sensor lighting installed outside as well. They're not too expensive; you can find them at The Home Depot for less than $30. This way, if thieves walk by your house, it will trigger the lights on. Statistics show that well-lit homes don't get broken into as often as unlit ones do. 3. Let your neighbors know you'll be gone. This way, they can look after your house while you're away. They'll be more sensitive to anything that's going on in or around your house like lighting and noises.“An overstuffed mailbox is the number one sign to burglars that you're not home. ”  4. Make sure your mailbox doesn't fill up or overflow. If you're gone for an extended period of time, mail piling up is the first sign to burglars that your home is empty. You can ask your neighbors to get your mail or call the post office to suspend delivery while you’re out.  5. Make sure your doors and windows are locked. This sounds obvious, but people simply forget to do it. Statistics show that more than 30% of homes that get broken into aren't really broken into; they are unforced entries.  Hopefully you find these tips helpful if you're planning on traveling for the holidays or anytime soon. If you have any more questions for me, don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I'd love to help you!

What are short sales and what should you know about them? Here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re thinking about buying a short sale property.Buying an Pennsylvania Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your  Pennsylvania  Home? Get a FREE Home Value Report What is a short sale? There a few things you need to know about short sales if you’re thinking about purchasing one. A short sale is the sale of a property where the proceeds net the lender less money than what is owed to the lender on the mortgage note. For example, if you sign a mortgage note that you owe a lender $100,000 and you sell the property for $90,000, it would be considered a short sale. What a lot of people don’t know is that you can actually sell a property for more than what is owed to the lender in some cases, and it would still qualify as a short sale. As an example, if you owe $100,000 to a lender and you sell a property for $105,000, but your closing costs are $7,000, it would only net the lender $98,000, resulting in a short sale. The other important thing to know about a short sale is that it requires a lender’s approval for the sale to go through. This differs from regular sales in which only the owner’s approval is required. The lender’s approval is required when you’re giving them less than what is owed to them.Short sales can take a long time to close.  Why would a lender ever consider accepting less than what is owed to them? Well, if the lender reviews all of the owner’s tax returns, verifies their employment, and finds out that the owner is completely insolvent, they know that there is no chance that they would ever get paid what was owed to them without selling the property. In this case, they’ll consider accepting less money over foreclosing on the property, which takes months or even years and an involves a lot of fees in some cases.What should you know if you’re considering buying a short sale property?Statistically, short sales have a higher chance of going for less than market value than standard sales do.You have to be incredibly patient when buying a short sale property. The transaction on a short sale can take up to six months or even longer to get the bank’s approval. This is due to the amount of time it takes the bank to verify the owner’s insolvency and to determine that a short sale is in their best interest.If you have any questions about short sales or anything else related to real estate, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help you!

How can you make your offer stand out when competing with other buyers on a home? Here are three things to keep in mind when submitting your offer. Buying a San Francisco Home? Search ALL Homes For SaleSelling Your San Francisco Home? Get a FREE Home Value Report Navigating a seller’s market as a buyer can be tricky, especially if you find yourself competing against other buyers on the same house in a multiple offer situation. What can you do to make your offer more attractive to the seller? Here are three things to keep in mind when making your offer that will help you land your dream home:1. Terms. You want to make your offer as clean as possible by having minimal contingencies. In order to do this most effectively, you’ll want to do your due diligence ahead of time before you write the offer. If this is a hot property with a lot of interest from other buyers, make sure that you make your preliminary inspections ahead of time so that you don’t have to include inspection contingencies on your contract. It’s also important to include short terms, meaning that you want to be sure that the close of escrow happens in the shortest possible time frame. 2. Include your pre-approval letter and proof of funds in your offer. This way, when the seller looks at your offer, they know that you are capable of getting a loan for the property and have funds available for the down payment. Including these two items in your offer is extremely important in a market like the one we’re in here in San Francisco. If these aren’t included, many times the seller won’t even look at your offer.“A seller may not even consider your offer without a pre-approval letter. ”  3. Have a good agent on your side. With a lot of the hands-off situations going on in the market right now, many times agents will simply email an offer to the seller’s agent and won’t communicate ahead of time. I find myself in this situation all the time, and when it happens, I question whether I should accept the buyer’s offer since I have never met the buyer or their agent. If you’re on the buyer’s side, make sure you let your agent contact the seller’s agent and establish a rapport early on.Keeping these three things in mind when submitting your offer can only make your offer stronger. If you have any other questions about making your offer stronger or anything else related to real estate, give me a call, send me an email, or leave a comment below. I’d be happy to help you!

This is the question on everyone's mind, and today we'll answer it.It’s a pretty balanced market right now, but in most areas sellers have a slight advantage. This time of year, inventory is typically quite low, so what we’re seeing now is pretty normal. You can expect to see more listings pop up in the early spring months.“Our market is pretty balanced for now, but we’re unsure how much longer it will last.”When inventory is low, home prices don’t fall. Right now, they are pretty stable in our area, which is good news for buyers. Also, interest rates are still quite low despite a slight hike in December. This is great for buyers looking to make their dollar go further!Whether you’re buying or selling, there are a lot of great opportunities in our current market. Conditions aren’t always this steady, and we may see some changes for the worse if interest rates rise like they’re expected to.

Regardless of how fantastic your home is, if you live in a dangerous or otherwise undesirable neighborhood, there is going to be a limit on the amount of value you can get out of your home. Bottom line, before buying a home, you want to make sure it’s in an area where home values are on the rise, as opposed to an area where home values are stagnating or declining.Often, buyers come to us talking about great locations that they simply can’t afford. Our solution to them is to consider moving on the border between two neighborhoods. Doing this, you may be able to enjoy all the benefits of a desirable neighborhood without having to pay the high price of actually living in it.Most people look at homes during the day. However, once you find a neighborhood and a home that you love, we highly suggest checking out the neighborhood at night. If you’re going to make a huge investment in a home, you want to make sure the neighborhood is as desirable at night as it is during the daytime hours. You don’t want to accidentally purchase a home on a street with a ton of loud bars on it and not be able to do anything about it!“We highly suggest checking out the neighborhood of interest at night.”If you have any questions or concerns about this topic, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

A lot of times when you look at a house, you don’t know where to look for potential problems. All you can see is the home’s decor. You need an inspector to come in and go through everything that you can’t see. They will examine things like the electrical system, plumbing, and the roof so you know exactly what you are getting into.“The home inspection helps you know exactly what you’re getting into.”After the inspection, you will receive a full report of any issues with the home. If there is a problem the sellers didn’t initially disclose, you can sit down and negotiate who will be responsible for the repairs. You may even get a lower purchase price or allowance for repairs. One thing you should pay attention to as a buyer is the bones of the house. These are things that you cannot change, like the floor plan, the view, and the location. You can redecorate your house every ten years or so to keep up with current trends, but you can’t really change the bones of the house.
