Publicado el por Jenny Zamora

Many sellers have a difficult time preparing their homes once they’ve decided to list them for sale. How will you know what to do to get it ready?
This is why it’s so important to hire the best Agente inmobiliario en Orlando from the beginning.

There are many factors to take into consideration before listing your home. Your Real Estate agent will be the one to guide you thru the pre-listing process and will advise you on how to maintain the home throughout the listing period.

The first step is, Hire a professional Real Estate Agent.  Call your local Realtors office and meet with a few agents before you commit to a listing contract for a year to later found out this is not the right person for you.

When you are interviewing agents, ask about their background in the Real Estate business. How long have they been in business, and how long have they been listings homes? How many listings do they currently have? How many agents are in their Real Estate firm? How accessible is he/she? You want to make sure that if your Realtor is not available, someone else in the company will be.

After you’ve found the perfect Orlando Listing Agent, it’s now time to start looking at your home and set the listing price.

What is the condition of your home? When was the last time you had any maintenance done to the AC, heater, water pump, pool pump, septic tank, windows, doors, etc? You want to make sure there are no leaks in the sink, faucets, and or showerheads.

What upgrades does the home have, if any? Are there any repairs that can be easily done to help improve the overall condition of your home? Does it need interior or exterior paint, does it need flooring? What can you do the improve the curb appeal?

Remember, the better the home looks the faster it will sell!

Listing Your Fixer-Upper

Publicado el por Jenny Zamora

People’s opinions of what a fixer-upper is may vary depending on who you are and what your experience level is in fixing up homes.  If all the house needs is a coat of paint and some minor cosmetic repairs, then it’s probably worth it to do the work yourself before listing the house on the market so you can sell it to a retail buyer.

It’s always a good idea to consult your Bienes raíces en Orlando agent before doing any work.

However, if the home is in need of some substantial repairs or a major remodel, then that’s a whole different beast altogether. Most of the time, properties that are in need of such repairs will be bought by an investor who fixes up homes for a profit.

Other times the buyer will be looking to fix up the home themselves with the intention of living there.

Most people don’t have the capacity to see past the repairs and visualize the finished product. These people need a little help and it’s up to you [the seller] to sell them what could be their dream house.

In general, it will depend on the extent of the repairs needed but, If you intend to list a fixer-upper, it will be advantageous for you to have some estimates from a few different contractors in the area.

A professional contractor has the skills and equipment needed to complete any repairs safely and in a timely manner. It’s always best to hire someone with the proper licensing and insurance to avoid any problems that may occur during the job.

By taking the time to get a few estimates for the repairs on your fixer-upper, you’ll be able to show a potential buyer the light at the end of the tunnel. It will also show the buyer that you cared enough to go the extra mile for them.

Top 5 Homebuyer Tips for a Smooth Transaction

Publicado el por Jenny Zamora

 There are many steps involved in purchasing a home. Hiring the right Orlando Real Estate Agent will be at the top of the list. There is nothing worse than working with an agent that is not capable of helping you accomplish your goal of buying a home.

Second, you need to make sure you are pre-approved for a loan. This is a big factor that many buyers overlook. Potential homebuyers will start looking at homes without any knowledge of their creditworthiness.

When looking at homes with your Real Estate agent be sure you have done your own research on school zones, commute times, and nearby hospitals, especially families with young kids.

When a homebuyer has found the right home and has an accepted contract you will need to provide the signed documents and financials to your mortgage company to start the loan process. All contingencies must be in writing.

Depending on the terms of the contract, you will have a specific time frame in which you have to complete all home inspections. You want to check the safety and condition of the home.

The inspections must be done by a professional and certified inspector, otherwise, the lender will not accept it.

There are many companies out there so you want to consult with your Agente inmobiliario en Orlando to make sure you hire a reputable company.

As part of the transaction, you will need a termite inspection, also called a WDO (wood destroying organism). Termites are insects that feed on dead plants, such as wood. This can be very destructive in a home.

In addition to this, you need wind mitigation. This will save you hundreds of dollars a year on your home owner’s insurance.

Now, you are approved and ready to sign. Don’t forget the final walk-thru. This is usually done a few days prior to closing to ensure the home is in the same condition as when you signed the contract.

Orlando Homes Sell Faster With Tech-Smart Upgrades

Publicado el por Jenny Zamora

There are always two sides to Bienes raíces en Orlando. Home sellers want to get the highest dollar amount for their property, and buyers looking for a deal of a lifetime on their dream home.

There are numerous ways a homeowner can add value to their homes to to justify a higher selling price. Simple upgrades like a fresh coat of paint or fencing in the backyard can justify a small increase and make a home more attractive to potential buyers.

These days however, homeowners would be wise to also look into technology upgrades to their home. By installing functional and efficient home technology to a home, it will definitely fetch a higher selling price and sell faster than a similar home without these tech-savvy improvements.

There was a recent study done among 500 real estate agents in Orlando to get a better understanding of what buyers were interested in when it came to smart home technology. The study revealed that home buyers are now much more interested in smart homes than they were just 2 years ago.

Over 60% of parents with children under the age of eighteen claimed that they would be willing to pay more for a home that already has smart home technology installed just for the added safety features. Even 51% of people without children would pay more for a smart home because of the energy efficiency features that will save them thousands in utilities over the long haul. Real estate agents in Orlando are seeing smart homes sell much faster than homes without this technology.

By far the biggest attraction for buyers when it came to smart home technology was for the security features that it provides. The second most attractive features were climate control, lighting, entertainment, and last but not least, appliances. Overall, buyers reported that they like being able to control all the features in there home from their smartphone or tablet.

The study clearly showed that smart home technology is steadily rising, especially with Generation X and millennial homebuyers.

Marketing Smart-Homes

Smart homes are great for buyers who value home security, energy efficiency, comfort and entertainment features. That’s why sellers would be wise to list all the features that their smart home has to offer.

There isn’t one “silver bullet” feature that will justify are huge price increase. However, by listing every single feature in the home, it gives the buyer a view of the bigger picture of added convenience and overall safety of the home which translates to increased value.
