 Buyer Advice: You Can Still Make A Backup Offer  I am sure that it does NOT come as a surprise to you that this gorgeous home located at 69 Murphy Farm Road is pending.  If it does surprise you --> it shouldn't. I had an agent call me to tell me that they had told their buyers that they needed to make it a priority to see this one before someone else snatched it up. Unfortunately, more times than not, people just think we are being pushy. NOT! We have the data at our fingertips. It is not hard to figure out average days on market for properties.  AND MOST IMPORTANT -- if you love it, what on earth makes you think you are the only one?! (Just sayin'!) So, buyers -- if you misssed out, you can still make a backup offer!  Things happen! Besides having the financing fall though, here are a... 06/30/2015

 Buyer Advice: Talk to a Lender  Besides the obvious reasons (are you qualified AND your offer is stronger WITH a pre approval letter) --Buyers -- it is in YOUR best interest to talk to a lender PRIOR to starting your home search.    It is a good idea to find out what you qualify for and WHAT your payments will be at that price. You may find that you are not at all happy with what your payment would be at the amount you actually qualify for.  At that point you would need to determine what price range you WANT to stay in so that you will be satisfied with your mortgage payment. The goal is to set you up for success.   I always tell my buyers that just because you qualify for a Jeep doesn’t mean you want a Jeep car note. You may be just as happy in the Ford Fiesta so you can take a cruise... 06/26/2015

Seller Advice: Set Yourself Up for a POSITIVE Closing Experience   Sellers, it is in YOUR best interest to do everything in your power to set yourself up for a positive closing experience. Realize that your buyers will (or should) be doing a final walk-through before closing. You may not really care whether they like you or not, but you should. How they feel about you could determine how they handle the simplest of irritations after closing.   For example → crazy as it may seem, water heaters do conk out the day after closing. NO, there was nothing said about the water heater in the inspection report. WHY on earth would the buyer think you knew it was going to happen. Well…. maybe because you left the house unclean, the lawn had not been mowed since it went pending, and the shed was ful... 06/25/2015
