  • Q: How do I know what my home is worth?
    A: We offer an in-depth competitive market analysis that includes recent sales prices of comparable homes in your area. Although extenuating circumstances may affect the sales price of your home, this analysis provides a good starting point in determining your asking price.
  • Q: What if the home I've made an offer on fails the inspection?
    A: We will help you write an offer that stipulates certain possibilities that would release you from going through with the purchase of the home. A standard stipulation is that structural damage requiring repairs over a certain dollar amount would release you from the contract. You would then have the option of walking away from the deal or negotiating with the seller to pay for all or a portion of the repairs.
  • Q: What if I am offered more money for my home after I've accepted an offer?
    A: Once you have accepted a buyer's offer you are obligated to sell your home to that buyer in accordance with the terms of the accepted offer unless they are unable to secure financing or your home fails to pass the inspection and a mutually acceptable solution cannot be reached.
  • Q: What is earnest money?
    A: Earnest money is a fairly small amount (generally not exceeding two percent of the offer price) the buyer deposits with the seller when an offer is made. The purpose is to eliminate frivolous offers that could keep the seller from accepting other legitimate offers. The earnest money check is generally applied to the purchase at closing.
  • Q: What is the biggest single factor that influences the fair market value of my home?
    A: Three simple words:location, location and location.
