Do seller's help buyers with closing costs?

In today's market they do.  With changes in lending and buyers having to put cash down they need help with closing costs, so they can have enough money to purchase.  Most buyers have enough income to qualify for the mortgage payment but are usually short on the cash for the down payment and closing costs.  So it helps buyers if the seller pays them.  Some buyers offer over asking price to cover the closing costs and sometimes they are split or the seller pays all.

Is it a good idea to be pre-qualified with a lender?

Yes, it is an excellent idea to be pre-qualified with your preferred lender.  Sellers will take you as a more serious prospective buyer and Real Estate Agents will be able to show you houses within your qualified price range, no guessing!  Also, your deal could go through more quickly once you find your prefert home because your money will be available for your purchase.

If I find a home that I would like to make an offer on, how can I make sure that I am not offering too much?

You need to have a Real Estate Agent that is representing you.  As part of their services to you, they will do a Comparative Market Analysis (CM) on the home to find out what other homes are selling for in the area.  They will take that information, the condition of the home, and the history of the listing to help you determine a fair amount to offer for the home.

Call me today to let me help you with a successful home purchase.

What are some of the problems encountered in selling your own home?

1. Most buyers that are drawn to FSBO's (for sale by owners) are bargain hunters looking to buy below market value.
2. Most buyers are wary of dealing directly with a seller.
3. Most buyers will want a real estate agent to negotiate with the seller and to handle the paperwork.
4. Some buyers are looking to take advantage of a FSBO's lack of knowledge in selling and negotiating real estate transactions.
5. Most FSBO's (75%) will list with a real estate agent in the long run but will have wasted a great deal of time and money advertising and encountered a great deal of frustration.
