Finding a Deal? In This Economy?
One thing about me: I love helping my buyers find a deal…
And the answer is yes, there are still deals out there.
This is what I keep my eyes peeled for ↓
1) CONTRACT CANCELLATIONS 🏷️
– Not every sale crosses the finish line, and when they don’t, it’s a usually a great opportunity
– “Back on Market” listings are often priced better than the original listing and the sellers are motivated
2) HIGHER “DAYS ON MARKET” 😴
– Homes that have been on the market a while (~45+ days), sellers more willing to negotiate
– Could be sitting because of pricing, lackluster listing photos or required lots of TLC
– A trained eye can spot value (or necessary updates)
3) BUILDER CLOSEOUTS 🏗️
– Builders are in the business of selling homes, not owning them
– If a new construction home is move-in ready, chances are the builder is eager to sell… (👋 discounts & builder credits)
4) MOTIVATED SELLERS 📅
– A seller might be motivated to offer a great price or terms due to sudden life changes – job relocation, divorce, death, or the need to liquidate
– This is where an agent’s intel on the seller can work to your advantage
5) HIDDEN GEMS 💎
– Sometimes a really great property gets overlooked because it has an unusual floor plan, an outdated kitchen, or is outside of the most popular neighborhoods
– As long as a property has “fixable” issues within the buyers budget, the pros could outweigh the cons

Pre-Closing/Closing
The keys are almost yours
The finish line is in sight!
What’s next on the home buying docket?
Say “hi” to pre-closing tasks! These are tasks you’’ll complete with various parties in order to close – people like your lender and a title company representative.
These tasks include:
– Scheduling the inspections
– Obtaining home insurance
– Ordering the appraisal
– Finalizing the mortgage
– Title search & survey
– “Clear to close” (The magic
words!)
Now you may be thinking: *That’s a lot of steps to complete*.
To help quell the overwhelm, I’ve created a few resources for this phase of the process.
In your 90 Days to Homeowner Guide, find my “Under Contract” Checklist and my guide to inspections and insurance, where I’ve included names of my trusted providers.
Your agent should be guiding you through each step of the process.
You should feel comfortable to reach out to them at any time!
I’m her to answer any questions.
You’re Offer Was Accepted!🎉
“Your offer has been accepted 🎉”
The words every hopeful buyer wants to hear!
Congratulations! Whether you’ve made it to this point in real life or not quite yet, here’s what to expect from this stage of the buying process:
– **Provide an Earnest Money Deposit** – This is a good faith deposit to show your commitment to buying the property. This deposit is typically held in an escrow account until the closing.
– **Schedule Home Inspections** – ****Depending on the results, you may negotiate with the seller for repairs or credits. Schedule this immediately!
– **Order** **Appraisal** – ****Your lender will initiate this to ensure the property’s value matches the sale price. If the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon price, you may need to renegotiate with the seller or come up with additional funds.
– **Finalize the Loan** – ****You’ll provide documents and go through underwriting with your lender.
There are a lot of moving parts at this phase of the transaction but a great agent is there to guide you at each turn!

Do I Really Need a Home Inspection?
“The house seems fine… do I really need an inspection?”
This is a question I hear fairly often: “The house seems fine… do I really need an inspection?”
The answer is a big bold 📢 YES!
Reason?
The home may appear to be in perfect shape, but some of the costliest💸 problems are difficult to spot: leaks, termite damage, foundation issues, poor ventilation, faulty wiring, and leaking appliances.
