Stress of buying/selling a home overwhelming you? I would like to help you handle all of the details in order to relieve some of the tension. Not only as a Realtor, but a Seller/Buyer myself:
Here are some tips that might aide in relieving your home-buying-selling stress.
1. Envision where you want to be once the purchase/sale of the house is completed. Write down details, use it as a tool to get you motivated. End result should make you feel your time and energy spent was worth it.
2. Expect the unexpected. Anticipate the hidden costs by researching the real estate and mortgage markets. Hidden extras will vary; some are legitimate while many others, also known as garbage fees, simply are not. Remember you need to do research in advance. It is usually too late to back out on contracts when the deal is ready to be signed.
3. Hire an agent you trust. I can facilitate your buying/selling process. I will help you create your buying/selling plan, locate the right home/the buyers, offer strategies for the current market, deal with offers, and assist you in completing paperwork. In addition, I will guide you through the buying/selling process; and help you with any emotional stress that comes along the way.
4. Know your limits, but at the same time, be flexible. Write down and revert back to your buying/selling plan. When obstacles arise or setbacks occur, pull out your buying/selling plan and get back on track. Make modifications to your plan if necessary, but don't lose sight of your objective. If you are well prepared, you will always have options. Remember I am here to assist you.
5. Don't alter your lifestyle. Whether it is during the home-buying/selling phase or after the purchase/sale has been completed, don't forget or eliminate your daily routine. When purchasing/selling a home, continue doing the things that you normally would be doing. Your main focus may be buying/selling a home, but don't be completely absorbed by the process or you may lose sight of your objective. Buying or selling a home should enhance your lifestyle not take away from it. 6. Remember "If it is meant to be, it will be!" "It will always work out." and somehow it magically does. It will work out! "JUST DO IT!!" MAKING YOUR #1 GOAL OF HOME OWNERSHIP, MY #1 GOAL TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR #1 GOAL. CATHERINE GAVIN-LARIVE, ASSOCIATE BROKER 248 534-2264 catherinelarive@kw.com |
