Real Estate Wisdom: 3 Pro Tips From Our Recent Sales Success!

Here are three valuable tips from our recent real estate sales.

Today, I’m sharing the three key takeaways from my recent sales experiences:

1) Buyers prioritize homes that are either completely updated or are excellent deals, not necessarily the cheapest or the nicest in the neighborhood. In some cases, our buyers purchased homes for $59,000 or even $110,000 below appraised value.

2) Mold is becoming a significant concern for buyers, and it's crucial for sellers to consider getting a pre-inspection to address potential mold issues.

3) Sellers who own their homes outright should consider owner financing as an option. We recently facilitated a successful deal with this approach, resulting in a quicker sale at a higher price. We worked with an attorney and a third-party servicer to simplify the process, with the added benefit of potentially saving on taxes by spreading out the gain over time. However, please note that I'm a Realtor, not a CPA, and this information is not legal, financial, or tax advice.
