What Agents Can Do for Buyers & Sellers

by Mehner Weiser Real Estate, LLC.

 

Whether you’re buying a home or selling one (or doing both at once), it’s important to have a real estate professional on your side.

After all, there’s a lot of money on the line, and a house is a big investment. An experienced agent can support you as you make your decisions during the process.

Are you preparing to buy or sell a home? Here are the benefits of enlisting an agent to help you.

For Buyers
When you’re buying a home, a real estate agent can help you zero in on properties that fit your budget and needs, schedule home tours with you and advise you throughout the mortgage process. Agents also have negotiation skills that can be key to getting you what you want.

For Sellers
An agent is critical when you sell a house. During the process, they can help you prepare and stage your property, photograph it, list and market it, manage showings and, most importantly, price your home. Of course, your agent can also negotiate on your behalf.

For Those Buying and Selling
Selling a home and buying a new one at the same time can be complicated and stressful, so having a professional there to guide you is important. Your real estate agent can help you time your sale and purchase properly, negotiate key contingencies that protect your interests and ensure the whole process goes smoothly.

Are you hoping to buy or sell a home soon? Reach out to have a skilled agent by your side.

5 Home Features Buyers Are Looking For

by Mehner Weiser Real Estate, LLC.

 

The housing market typically slows down in the fall, so if you’re thinking of selling in the near future, it may take a little more effort to stand out from the crowd.

Knowing what buyers want and making a few smart updates can help make your home more marketable and improve your selling price.

Are you considering a home sale soon? Here’s what potential buyers might be looking for this fall:

Safety Features

You might consider upgrading your garage door, adding an alarm system or repairing your fence. Anything that improves the safety and security of your home is an automatic value-add.

Energy-Efficient Enhancements

Making your home more energy-efficient has a two-fold benefit: It helps the environment and cuts down on utility bills. Most buyers are happy to pay extra for both.

Plenty of Storage 

Storage space is always worth a premium. If you can, find ways to add additional storage to your property before listing it, maybe with a set of garage shelves, a closet system or a more streamlined pantry.

Functional Fun

Can you make your home more enjoyable? This might mean adding an outdoor kitchen, building a theater room or installing a small fire pit in the backyard. As we’ve learned over the last several months, outdoor areas are practically essential.

Health-Forward Add-Ons 

Homes equipped with no-touch faucets, mudrooms, air filtration systems and other health and comfort-focused items are sure to align with modern buyers’ needs. 

Of course, it’s always important to keep up with your home’s general maintenance and perform any major repairs that may be necessary as well.
