“Make sure you have a prequalification letter, preferably from a local reputable lender. Some lenders can close your loan in as little as three weeks. This will give you an edge and make your offer look better than others. You need to review newly listed homes daily because the well-maintained homes will go under contract quickly. If you fall in love with a home, consult with your agent and don’t hesitate to go over list price to get it.”

“Every seller wants their home to sell fast and bring top dollar. It’s not luck that makes that happen; it’s correct pricing, careful planning and knowing how to professionally spruce up your home that could lead to multiple offers. Make your house irresistible and marketable by decluttering, depersonalizing, rearranging, making repairs, and checking curb appeal.”
