Looking to sell your Raleigh area home? Get a home value report Looking to buy a home in the Raleigh area? Use our home search tool What happens during the due diligence period? In North Carolina, buyers and sellers negotiate a due diligence period, which is the number of days that the buyer has to fully investigate the property. The buyer pays the seller to take the home off the market. Typically, the due diligence period lasts about 15 to 21 days. As a buyer, this is your time to complete all of your inspections and get your lending in order. Make sure that your loan application has been submitted, goes through underwriting, and order the appraisal. " During the due diligence period, the buyer will complete inspections and secure their financing. " Once the inspections are completed, you and the seller will negotiate the necessary repairs. Due diligence is an incredibly important part of your contract. We definitely recommend that you have a qualified professional to help you through all of this. If you have any other questions about the due diligence process or about buying a home in general, just give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!

Looking to sell your Raleigh area home? Get a home value report Looking to buy a home in the Raleigh area? Use our home search tool What really sells a home? What really matters to a potential buyer when they tour a home for sale? Our team does so much more than stick a sign in the yard, put the home on the MLS, and pray that another agent brings a buyer. Our list of marketing, pricing, and timing strategies is quite lengthy, but first impressions are what ultimately sell a home. Staging is not just decluttering or organizing in the traditional way that we use that word. It revolves around the complete first impression your home gives, from the online photos until a buyer actually walks through your home. A consultation with our professional stager is inclusive to our services and it’s absolutely invaluable to the marketing of your home. Statistically, buyer decisions are made first at an emotional level and then at a logical one, which is why first impressions are so crucial. You need to make the buyer feel like your kitchen could be their kitchen and your backyard could be where they spend their future summer afternoons with their children. " Let us help guide you through getting the selling process started. " Most times, a can of paint, a little elbow grease, or moving some furniture around will do the trick and really highlight the strengths of your home while downplaying its weaknesses. The use of staging simply reveals value that’s already present and allows the buyer’s imagination to run freely throughout the house instead of them trying to look past the dated or time-stamped features of the home. Our team has access to all the resources you’ll need to properly stage your home and prepare it for the market. Our professional staging partner is here, we have a handyman, a general contractor contact, and many other specialty contractor contacts readily available to act as your resource. First impressions are everything, so let us help you get the selling process started. If you have any questions about the staging process or you’re looking to buy or sell a home in our market, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re happy to help.

Today I’m going over all the reasons you should hire a buyer’s agent when purchasing a new construction home. .quote-box{ display: block; margin: 20px auto 20px 40px; background: url(https://s3.amazonaws.com/vyralmarketing/vyral-marketing/quotation.svg) no-repeat; background-size: contain; } .quote{ margin 0; display: none; } .left{ padding-top: 10px; float: left; display: none; } .right{ padding-bottom: 10px; float: right; display: none; } .quote-text{ font-size: 25px; margin: 0; padding: 0; color: $(link.color); text-transform: uppercase; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; } .mobile .quote-box{ display: block; margin: 20px auto 20px 40px; background: url(https://s3.amazonaws.com/vyralmarketing/vyral-marketing/quotation.svg) no-repeat; background-size: contain; } .mobile .quote{ margin 0; display: none; } .mobile .left{ padding-top: 10px; float: left; display: none; } .mobile .right{ padding-bottom: 10px; float: right; display: none; } .mobile .quote-text{ font-size: 25px; margin: 0; padding: 0; color: $(link-color); text-transform: uppercase; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; } Today I’m going over all the reasons you should hire a buyer’s agent when purchasing a new construction home. Looking to sell your Raleigh area home? Get a home value report Looking to buy a home in the Raleigh area? Use our home search tool Why should you hire a buyer’s agent when buying a new construction home? First, the onsite agent that is helping you with the contract is actually representing the builder, so you need someone representing you as well. Second, a buyer’s agent is completely free to you. The builder already has a budget for a buyer’s agent built into the cost of the home. Third, a buyer’s agent is there to help you negotiate. Unless you are familiar with construction contracts, most people don’t know they can negotiate. Most people pick out a lot and a floor plan and pay the sticker price. However, a buyer's agent can help you negotiate the upfront cost and add appliances, fences, and other things to be included with the home. "A buyer’s agent is completely free to you." Fourth, a buyer's agent will make sure that building is on track and all the milestones are being met. If you're only working with an onsite agent, you might not be as comfortable letting them know that you are uncomfortable with how long something is taking. A buyer’s agent can also help you pick out all your features and explain what is a standard option and what is an additional cost. They will also help you schedule an inspection. Many people don’t know they can get an inspection on a new construction home, but if anything needs to be repaired before you close they can help you negotiate that. Finally, a buyer’s agent will make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible. They will make sure any issues that come up get resolved before closing. If you have any questions about this topic or are looking to buy or sell a home, please feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We are more than happy to help!

Use our home search tool What's been going on here in the Triangle market in the first quarter? From January 1st to the end of March, 7,630 homes have closed in the Triangle MLS. Just in Wake County, there have been 4,091 closings. During this same stretch in 2016, we saw 3,741 closings, so our market is up by about 300 closings this year. We currently have 7,400 active properties in the MLS with 3,000 of them in Wake County. It might sound like a lot, but it's actually a historically low number for our market. So what does this mean to you? "You'll face very low competition as a seller." Since there aren't many properties available, you'll face very low competition as a seller. We're seeing sellers get top dollar in short periods of time for their homes. As a buyer, there could be limited options for you since it's a little bit more competitive. The average number of days listings stay on the market is 44, but our team's average is 22 days. We're able to do this thanks to a very strategic marketing system and models to get you top dollar. If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in today's market, we'd love to help. Just give us a call or send us an email, we're here to help!
