Q: How long will it take to sell my house?
A: 40% of most homes are sold within the first 30 to 60 days. If your property is not sold within this time frame a price adjustment should be made. (statistics are based on national average of homes sold)
Q: What if the buyer asks me to pay their down payment or closing costs?
A: Don't let this question scare you away from a potential buyer. Most buyers need the help of the seller to pay closing costs, and the closing costs can be added to the list price if the buyers agree and the appraisal comes in ok. There are many different types of down payment assistant programs available for buyers that will cover the down payment also.
Q: My home did not sell with a previous broker, why should I use Global Choice Real Estate?
A: If your home has just come off the market and hasn't sold, you should not be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have shown better and more desirable. Last year almost half of the homes listed for sale never sold at all. This could be that the listing was never exposed properly, or the information was incorrect. There are many possible reasons your home did not sell. There is no obligation to have one of our Sales Professionals view your home and give you some type of answers that will help you sell your home fast and for top dollar.
Q: Should I sell my home before I purchase a new one?
A: Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with this question. If you buy before selling you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. The Real Estate Catch 22. The option we suggest is to put your home on the market and get a good feel for the amount of showings you are getting. Start looking for a home with your Global Choice Real Estate Sales Professional. When you find a home you like you can then make an offer subject to your home selling. You can also list your home for sale with the contingency of you finding the home of your choice before you close. This will usually give you 30 to 60 days to look for a home that best fits your needs. If you sell your home first and have done everything you could to find a home and had no luck you can always rent until the right home comes up for sale or build the home of your dreams.
