Ready to buy or sell property? We’re ready to help.

Buying, marketing and selling a home in today’s real estate market requires more than a license or professional certification, it requires skills, experience, knowledge and a commitment to get the results. With such an overwhelming amount of distressed housing supply in the market, a real estate agent has to be willing to work with you as well as give you a reality check when needed.

A few of the most important questions you should ask yourself is “what was my first experience of this agent?”, “are they open and forthcoming?”, “what type of recent success or failures do they have?”, “do they listen to and hear my needs and wants?”, “do they have a real marketing plan beyond the typical real estate agent pitch?”, and “are they willing to do the work?”

It is very important that you trust the real estate professional that you work with. Additionally, it is in your best interests to make sure you find an agent who understands what it means to owe a fiduciary duty to you. In other words, select a professional who will put your interests above others in the transaction.

Whether you are thinking of a second home in Miami, selling your primary residence, or an investment property, consider the following tips for a smart buy or sale:

  • Evaluate your needs and long-term goals – be realistic.
  • Hire a local real estate agent – real estate is extremely localized.
  • Decide on what type of home is right for you – think about maintenance, cost and privacy.
  • Calculate all of your expenses – remember to also budget for closing costs, condo fees, taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs.
  • Look into the tax benefits or ramifications – consult with your tax preparer.
  • Get to know the area before jumping in – experience the environment, walk or drive the neighborhood, visit during day and night hours.
  • Resist the urge to impulse buy or sell – be patient and have a plan.
  • Shop around for a mortgage – pricing, points and programs constantly change.
  • Prepare your home for the market – clean up that clutter and stage the home to show it.
  • Change your marketing strategy – be creative and suggest new ideas to your agent.
  • Know your competition – you need the real facts to support your price.
