Safety First! Our health remains #1.

How does this social distancing and shelter in place in New Jersey change the way you sell and buy a home?

Many clients have been reaching out to me who were planning to move this Spring with these great questions:

• Will this outbreak ruin my chances on getting the highest possible sale price for my home this Spring?
  
• How can I safely market and sell my home in the near future?
  
• How can I safely view homes to purchase?

First, let’s take a look at the actions you would take without the shelter in place social distancing situation.

Right now this is a great opportunity to declutter and purge your home of items you no longer want. Remember, buyers buy space. The larger you make your rooms appear, the higher the sale price.

Thanks to technology, I can still take listing appointments via Facetime and view the photos you send me of each room so that I can advise smart changes. I am a professionally trained home stager and realtor with a keen eye and flair for decor!

By following my detailed advice, these ideas of room by room staging can make great use of your at home time. Most people have no time to declutter, paint, make small repairs, and now we have the opportunity to get this done. ✅

If your home is ready to list now and are concerned for your health and safety, there is a special 360 degree room by room virtual tour service I can provide and implement right away so that we can begin the marketing asap online, while we wait for the state to remove the current precautions and restrictions we have all been respecting right now.

I can also work on the description writing, paperwork, and learning of your home’s detailed features so I can create a masterful presentation of your home!

The best way to maximize your highest sale price is to do the best possible staging/ prep work now, so that once we rejoice in resolving our current state wide situation, YOU WILL BE READY and we can LAUNCH LIKE A ROCKET into the market.

The same goes for buyers, whether you are a casual looker  👀 or a buyer with urgency, having all your ducks in a row such as getting all your documentation to a lender is not only smart. It gives you a real advantage. This way your offer will be strongly positioned when competing with other offers. The transactions that die due to buyer not getting financing could have been avoided if all documents have already been reviewed and seen.

Lenders will require, 2 months bank statement, last 2 years of W2, recent pay stubs as well as running your credit.

Having this done now while most homes are not being shown is the best way to position yourself to win the home you fall in love with. 

When I submit your offer to include a letter from your lender which states they are in receipt of the above mentioned documents, you will basically be an appraisal away from a mortgage commitment. This has more weight when compared to the same price offered by a competing buyer. There are other ways I can position my buyers strongly. I welcome a private conversation to share even more strategies.

I can recommend seasoned trusted experienced lenders upon request.

There are other tips I can provide so that this precious time we have at home is not wasted and then we can be ready to stay ahead of the competition.

Whether you are selling or buying, let’s have a private conversation and virtual meeting so that I can show you more details of my winning strategies.
