Finding Your Real Estate Agent
March 1, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Whenever you buy or sell real estate, you may be like millions of other people out there, in thinking that you don’t need a real estate agent. Most people who buy or sell homes, generally think that a real estate agent is a waste of money. Those who choose to buy a new home, think that real estate agents only add to the cost of purchasing the home.
What most people aren’t aware of, is the fact that real estate agents are normally paid by the seller, not by the buyer. As a buyer, you’ll get to work with a professional real estate agent without really having to pay for it yourself. The policies can vary greatly from state to state and company to company, which is why you should always check any paperwork or contracts that are provided to you to ensure this is the case. When you are interviewing agents, make certain to ask about any type of fees as well. Read more

You need to know that there are three different kinds of mortgage brokers. Some mortgage brokers work in close association with specific lenders, which means they will only recommend these specific mortgages and will not give you a choice. This type of broker usually charges commission on the mortgage rather than an upfront fee. Other category brokers recommend mortgage lenders from a panel, which represents a limited section of the entire market. There are also independent brokers, who are not tied to any lenders.

Does Home Staging Really Sell Homes?
February 13, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
The answer to that question is quite simple. Yes, home staging your Canandaigua House for sale will, in fact, sell homes. All statistics show that homes that are well prepared for the market sell at a higher rate and at a higher price than homes that are not show ready. Often sellers recieve a higher appraisal on staged homes and multiple offers up front.
Does it pay for a seller to go to the work and expense of staging their home prior to the listing? All real estate agents will agree that they show staged homes more often than others as staged homes are ready to go for a buyer.
Staging is the process of preparing the home to enter the marketplace ready for the buyer to purchase and move into immediately. No repairs, painting, carpet cleaning, window washing or landscaping worries. Potential buyers remember the home that is staged well as it will totally appeal to the buyers needs.
Staging your home for the Canandaigua real estate market takes special skill and basically is designing the home to appeal to wide array of buyers. One must think in these terms to stage their home on their own. Of course there are many professional home stagers that one could call on to get the job done for the seller. As a professional stager I do recommend hiring a professional , especially if you need your home to sell quickly.
