This is the Best time to buy a home. Wow, it just does not get better than this to buy a home.

Here’s what to know, whether you’re selling, buying or just curious.

Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.

Ready to make a move?I’ll show you what homes nearby are really selling for and which streets fit your budget.

What to know

I am not saying you won’t have hurdles, but following the right steps, will minimize the difficulties. First step, of course, contact a Realtor, hopefully, me. Don’t expect to go looking at houses the first time you meet with a Realtor. Sit down, talk the them, tell them what you want, need and hope for. Tell them about financial issues you might be having or have had, Remember, when you hire an agent to work for you, your information is confidential. Talk about what representation means and looks like. It is very reassuring to know there is someone in your corner ready to go to bat for you. A good agent will then arrange for you to meet with a lender to discuss your financial qualifications to buy a home. It does not make good sense to look at homes first, fall in love with one only to find out later that it is out or your price range. You will also be a stronger buyer when the time comes to negotiate with the sellers. Ask questions, ask questions, ask questions, you are making a huge investment, and buying a house is best done using your head, let your heart make the house you like your home. Don’t be afraid to ask your agent to explain the buyer representation agreement. It is there to protect you and your agent. Once you have been pre-approved and your agent knows your wants and needs, you are ready to go. Have fun, this is a happy time, especially if it’s your first. Happy House Hunting.

A simple plan for your move

I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.

1Get clear on the numbersFor sellers, a realistic value for your specific home. For buyers, what your budget actually buys in the neighborhoods you like.
2Walk it with a builder’s eyeWe spot what an inspector is likely to flag before it becomes a negotiation.
3Prepare or positionSellers get a prep list and a staging plan. Buyers get a short list of homes that truly fit.
4Move with confidenceOffers, inspections and closing, with one steady guide keeping it calm and on schedule.

Getting the house ready, or making it yours

If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise. Ready to talk? Start a buyer plan or ask what your home is worth.
