Today I’m here with Brandon Morgan, one of our lead listing specialists. He’s going to help me talk about why people sell their homes and how they find out if the time is right to sell a home.

Motivation is always a big factor for people. That’s why Brandon always asks a seller why they want to sell their home. Is the home too big? Is the home too small? There are thousands of reasons why people want to move. When an agent understands why you want to move, they can be much more effective during the sale of your home.

A lot of people will sell their homes because they have enough equity built up. This is a great reason to sell your home from a financial standpoint. If you’re able to sell now and get out with some equity, then I would recommend talking with us because it may be an excellent time to try selling your home. Our market has appreciated, so now may be the time to make your move.

Give us a call if you’d like to work through some of the numbers when you’re attempting to sell your home. We would be happy to arrange a time to speak with you!

Today, I’ll go over a few questions that a seller should ask themselves while considering a buyer’s offer.

First of all, does the price meet or exceed your needs as a seller? You probably have a certain amount of money that you want to net after the closing costs and commissions have been taken care of. Will you get that money with this offer?

You should also consider the terms and conditions. Does the buyer have to sell a home before they can buy yours? Do you have time to wait for them to do that? What are the inspection contingencies? Basically, look for anything that may affect your net income and the ability to close the transaction.

Which brings me to my next point, does the buyer have the ability to close the transaction? Verify proof of funds. Make sure they can obtain financing. Make sure they have gotten the necessary documents to their lender.

Next, does the close of escrow date meet your needs? Sometimes a buyer may want an extended closing, which may not benefit you. If you are still looking for your next home, an extended closing may work in your favor. It all depends on your unique situation.

How big is the down payment? Although the down payment doesn’t tell the buyer’s whole financial story, it can affect their ability to close the transaction. The down payment amount is important.

Finally, how will the potential buyer react to inspection issues? Practically every home inspection yields surprises to the buyer and the seller. How will the buyer react to those issues? If the buyer is an investor, they will probably just walk away. If a buyer wants to live in the home and they’ve fallen in love with the property, the buyer will usually negotiate those issues with you in order to close the transaction.
