You wanna know one of my secrets to getting my clients the best deal when they buy a house?
Well, it’s not really a secret, everyone knows you need to do what I’m about to tell you.
However, a lot of buyers (and even some sloppy agents) think it’s fine to put it off…
It’s getting pre-approved for a mortgage. The secret in my sauce is that I make sure my buyers do it as early on in the process as possible!
I doesn’t matter if someone got the greatest deal on a house…too many buyers get hosed on their mortgage because they didn’t get pre-approved until they found the house they wanted.
Then they gotta go from pre-approval to the loan process faster than a Ferrari, and that’s where, why, and when they lose money. Those rates and fees are along for the ride for a lot of years later. And it adds up to tons of money.
But since my clients get pre-approved so early on, they get a chance to really look at what the lenders’ programs, fees, and rates are, and make the best choice.
Here’s another thing I’ll let you in on…
I’ve got a private list of lenders I know and trust. Want in on that list? Or do you have a list of ones you know and trust already?
Why to real agents ask you to sign a buyer representation agreement?
In Texas all real estate agents represent the seller unless we have a buyer’s representation agreement with the buyer. What does that mean? It means that legally we are obligated to look out for the seller’s best interest unless we are contractually linked to the buyer.
But here’s the deal. (And the “deal” is as lopsided as a table with a short leg…)
You get to sign this agreement and cancel at any time if you aren’t happy with me.
Think about that—I literally have to make sure you’re happy throughout this entire process, or you can just cancel this contract. No strings attached. No cost to you.
Don’t get me wrong…I do this willingly.
I do it because it keeps me on my toes and ensures that I’m always doing the best job possible for my clients.
Just do me a favor…
If at any point you aren’t happy, give me a heads up, and a chance to make things right. I’m here when you are ready 🙂
I accidentally found Frio Pops in Cinco Ranch. I’m so happy I did!
If you are looking for fresh and fun flavors this is the place for you. I went all out and tried the avocado lime popsicle. Yum! I know it sounds weird but it’s smooth and creamy with a great lime flavor.
I also tried the strawberry cheesecake and the fruity pebbles. The strawberry cheesecake is like eating a yummy frozen cheesecake. It’s creamy and delicious.
The fruity pebbles is like eating a bowl of fruity pebbles and milk. There is something very comforting about this popsicle.
I honestly can’t wait to try it again! Check out their website
Don’t do any home improvements. Don’t renovate. Don’t spend one cent on improving your home before you list your house for sale…
…at least not until you speak with me.
Too often, homeowners feel compelled to spruce up their home before putting it on the market. At face value, that makes sense. You want it to show as nicely as possible. And, it seems to make sense that if you improve the home, it will also improve the value.
However, many of the things homeowners spend money on do not raise the value as much as the cost of the project they completed.
The way I see it, my job is to make sure my clients net as much money as possible on the sale of their home.
And while that certainly entails getting a buyer to pay as much as we can for it, my job begins well before that…
Netting as much as possible is as much about not losing or wasting money, as it is getting as much money for your house as possible.
For instance, if someone spends even $1,000 on a renovation or improvement, and it doesn’t increase the value more than $1,000…it was probably a waste of time and money. Which means they didn’t net as much as possible.
There are exceptions, of course. If something needs fixing, and it will get in the way of the home selling at all…well, then it will make sense to spend the money even if it doesn’t actually raise the value.
There’s no one answer. Every home and situation is different. It takes analysis and thought before I can say whether it’s worth doing something or not.
So I recommend, and offer, to come by and assess whatever project you may be considering, before you just go ahead and do it. (As always…no obligation, and completely free.) It’s my pleasure. And, the way I see it, it’s my duty.
Give me a call and we can schedule a time for me to swing by and take a look.
Enjoy!
Note: I’ve make several variations of this cake. I’ve added rum as stated above. I’ve lined the bottom of the pan with berries, dulce de leche, coconut or chocolate before pouring the cake mixture into the pan; then baked until done. What have you tried?
Enjoy!
