Selling your home: Avoid the Urgent Sale

Questions I Am Often Asked

One of the most important things to remember when you’re selling your home is that your house is a valuable and extremely marketable asset. To sell your home at the best possible price, always try to avoid urgency. Urgency can lead you to make rash decisions, causing stress, inconvenience and potentially financial loss. You can depend on getting a good price if you allow enough time for the sale to occur. .

Even though there is usually a market filled with home buyers, it is generally understood that a home must be exposed to a wide range of potential buyers over a reasonable length of time to get the best offer.

The best thing to do when trying to sell a home is plan ahead. If you time the marketing in a way that will benefit you, you will not feel the urgency to sell. Give yourself time to make home improvements and repairs, and time to find a good agent. Then, be prepared to wait for the right buyer

College Financial Aid: Apply online, save time!

Access to almost all college financing information is now available online — and it’s free. To start, mark your calendar, because applying for aid is an annual event. A good site to check out for scholarships and grants is www.finaid.org. Student loans from financial institutions are another route to take. Visit U.S. Bank at www.usbank.com/studentloans. The key to paying for college is to apply for as many grants and scholarships as possible, and as early as possible. Online access and applications get you there with a click of your mouse!

Question:What can CRS designees do for you?

Answer: The CRS Designee you work with could be one of your most valuable resources. Unlike many real estate agents who are simply licensed by their state to engage in real estate sales, CRS Designees have completed additional training courses and have agreed to act adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. Plus …

They already are familiar with current real estate values, taxes, and may be aware of local zoning changes that could affect your decision to buy. CRS Designees are sensitive to the importance you place on this major commitment you are about to make. Look for a real estate professional to facilitate negotiation of a win-win agreement that will satisfy both you and the seller
