Your Home Is A Stage: Tips For Real Estate Staging

Home Buying Tips to Help You as You Work With Your Agent to Find the Right House

by Andre George

When you decide now is the time to buy a home, there are a lot of details and some preparation to consider as you shop and hunt for the right house to buy. Your real estate agent is a great resource that can provide insight and recommendations along with expertise and professional guidance. Here are some tips to help you with your purchase.

Act Quickly on Sale Opportunities

When you have hired a professional real estate agent and give them a list of criteria that you are looking for in a home, they are going to do their best to bring you qualified listings of homes in the area. The first search will provide you with a list of multiple properties that fit your criteria, which will provide you a good selection to tour through and consider as a home potential. 

However, once you have begun your house hunting, your realtor may from time to time provide you with a new listing that has just come available on the sales market. This provides an opportunity to be the first or one of the first buyers to view the home, and a similarly first chance to put in an offer. 

If the home for sale is a great deal and something you have been searching for, take advantage of being the first to know about the home and schedule the viewing immediately. Then, if you find out the home is everything you want and need, you can submit an offer on the home.

Consider Old Listings

Another method you can use with the help of your real estate agent is to look at listings that are older. A home that has been on the market for much longer than most homes can provide you with a good negotiation potential. A home that is listed and sat on the listings website may be overlooked for its higher price or condition, which will make it a stale listing. This provides you the opportunity to submit a competitive but fair offer for the home. 

Often because the seller has seen their home sit on the market without much interest, they will grab at the opportunity for a sale and work with you and negotiate the price. Your real estate agent will be able to provide you with some great recommendations for writing up the offer and what types of details to include in the offer to get you a good price on the home.
