Common Sense tips for Buyers and Sellers in 2009
Hi all! I just sent a newsletter/email to my buyers and sellers consisting of common sense tips. So, here they are...what are your common sense tips for your buyers and sellers????
Buyers:
1. First make sure your debt is low and your credit score is high!  
2. Get your pre approval before you go out to view properties (we need to know you are looking in the correct price range)
3. Unless you are buying something that needs to be gutted and you are getting it at a really low price, this is not the time to "flip" a house. This is the time to buy and settle down for a few years.  
4. Just because you hear the word FORECLOSURE, it does not mean, cheap prices on a fabulous house. Many foreclosures need work (repairs, etc.)
5. Mortgage rates are down, now is the time to get off the fence and get out there.
 
Sellers:
1. Price it right the first time! The most "action" on a listing is during the first  30 days.  
2. Be "buyer ready" -clean, do small updates if you can, and paint. The updated homes sell the fastest in a buyer's market!
