For Buyers

Want to learn more about the home buying process?

Are you ready to buy a home? What are the first steps? What if you see a house you like, what do you do? These are all questions I can help answer.

Get Real, a Real Estate Agent

As local RE/MAX Broker in Fayetteville, I can help you through the entire process of buying your home, starting with the mortgage, helping you find that perfect home, and continuing right through closing - and beyond!

The first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan. It is critical for you to know what you what your price range for a home is before you start looking. I would highly recommend speaking to a mortgage lender to discuss your credit and what your current price range is. Once you are armed with the information you can begin the home buying journey.

And the Fun Begins!

Once you know your price range, the true fun begins! Write out your wants and needs for a home, include a particular area, school district or/and zip codes. Tell me! I'll send you homes as they come on the market that match what you are looking for. And of course you can use my website to look at homes.

See what you like?

If you are driving to work or scrolling through the internet and see a home you like, let me know! As a member of the MLS (Fayetteville Regional Association of Realtors), I can show you any home you like in the Fayetteville, Hoke, and Harnett area.

Next...

Once you've chosen the home you want, it is time to make an offer. I will look at comparable houses that have sold in the market to make sure the home you want isn't priced too high. Then we make an offer!

Once Your Offer Is Accepted:

At Closing:

You are now the proud owner of a home!

For Sellers

You maybe asking yourself, "How do I sell my house quickly?" Maybe you are divorcing and need to sell your house fast, or you are relocating and need to sell before you leave. Or maybe you are buying a bigger home or are downsizing. Either way, you need an experienced real estate agent. Fayetteville and the surrounding areas are in an excellent real estate market and there are lots of real estate agents ready to sell your home.

How do you choose? Before you decide, fill out my evaluation form. It will only take a few minutes, and you will you get valuable information about selling your home. I will provide for you, free of charge and under no obligation, a real-time home market valuation. I can also generate for you market conditions for your home and neighborhood- specifically tailored to your preferences.

You will then know what the house across the street sold for and what homes similar to yours sold for in the last 6 months. I can also tell you on average, how long a home like yours stays on the market before selling.

By reviewing this information, I can narrow down the price range and the time range it would take to sell your home.

How do I sell your home?

The majority of home buyers are looking online for their next home purchase. They are using websites like remax.com, trulia.com, zillow.com, and are looking at unconventional places such as facebook.com and twitter.com to find their next home.

I utilize a variety of online marketing sites including social media sites to make sure you home gets the type of exposure it needs.

While the majority of people look online, I won't neglect those who use traditional means of finding a home either. I will advertise your home on the Fayetteville Observer's Saturday marketplace, place paper flyers by your home, and connect with local real estate agents to let them know your home is on the market.

Take a few moments to fill out my evaluation form and I will contact you with information about how to best market and sell your home.
