Q: How

Q: We own a home and want to buy another home and move. How do we do it? A: First determine the value of your current home. We'll give you a detailed market analysis and price for your home so you know how much money you'll be getting from the sale. Then you have a few options. 1-Decide what you want to buy and purchase the home with an extended settlement date. Then, your current house goes on the market and when you get an offer, the settlement date should match the date of the new house you are purchasing. On the day of settlement, you go to closing on your old house first and then take those proceeds to buy the new house. 2-If you have the financial ability or you get a bridge loan, you can settle on your new house first and move into or fix up your new house. Then, you go to closing on your old house. Q: How do I find out the value of my home? A: We would come to your house and give you a detailed market analysis on price and marketing strategies. We would advise you on any home items that need repair or sprucing up. The suggestions made are to increase your final sale price and reduce the amount of time your home is on the market. Q: How can I find out about the schools in the area? A: We can provide you with statistical information from the National School Reporting Service or connect to their site by going to our links page. Q: What can I do to prepare my home for a sale? A: Homes that are clean and well maintained normally sell quicker and for more money than other homes in poor condition. The important things to focus on are: maintaining the outside grounds, making your entrance way sparkle (it's the first impression), repair any small cosmetic items (cracks, touch-up paint, leaky faucets, worn carpet, replace light bulbs, clean furnace and gutters), and clean out storage areas (closets, basements, attics and garages will seem larger without all of the clutter). It's best to contact us and we'll come out to your home and give you recommendations of the items to focus on and what will give you the very best price for your home.
