Question 1

What are local market conditions?

Accepted Answer

Your real estate agent will provide you with a comprehensive market analysis that will show you what the local market trends are and how they will impact the sale of your home.

Question 2

How much does it cost to sell my house?

Accepted Answer

Most of the costs come out of escrow at the closing of the sale, not out of pocket. Agents and brokerages typically have an industry standard that is charged as a commission. Remember, you get what you pay for and great agents earn their commissions.

Question 3

Where does the home inspector come in?

Accepted Answer

Once an offer has been accepted, the clock starts running. The home inspection is part of that process and your agent will work with the buyer's agent to schedule the home inspections.

Question 4

What if the appraisal comes in too low?

Accepted Answer

If the offer you accept is an all cash offer it won't affect the sale unless the buyer's ask for a reduced price. Then your agent works for you to negotiate the deal with the buyer's agent. If the buyer's are financing the home, the financial institution can not loan more than what the home is worth and your agent will be able to advise you.

Question 5

What happens if I need to stay in the house longer than closing?

Accepted Answer

As your agent, I can help you negotiate a rent-back option if it is needed.
