Real Estate Transactions

Real estate transactions are most likely the biggest financial investment that most people experience in their life time.  Because of this complexity and significance, people typically seek the help of real estate brokers and sales agents when buying or selling properties.

When you are buying:

Get help from a trusted broker.  The agent can provide a thorough knowledge of the real estate market in the community, local zoning, and tax law.  Select agent according to your requirement.  Most real estate broker and sales agents sell residential property.  A small number sell commercial, industrial, agricultural, or other type of real estate.  Every specialty requires knowledge of that particular type of property and clientele.  Selling or leasing business property requires an understanding of leasing practices, business trends, and the location of property.  Agents who sell or lease industrial properties must know about the region’s transportation, utilities, and labor supply.

Shop on line and determine the competitive market price of the home you want to buy.  Compare the listed property with similar properties that recently sold.

Get pre qualified and pre approved for financing.  By know exactly how much you can afford, you maybe more likely to cut a deal with the seller if they know you have the financing in hand.

When you are selling:

Work with your local broker to promote your property through other real estate brokers and to the public.

Price your home 15 percent below the 3 lowest priced homes in your market area.
