When you think of real estate negotiations, what comes to mind? For most buyers and sellers, price tops the list. While this is certainly an important part of any real estate deal, did you know there are at least six others areas of potential negotiation?

Closing costs: In addition to the price of the home, buyers must pay closing costs that cover lender fees and other charges. Buyers may ask sellers to help pay for these costs with a flat dollar amount or a percentage of the fees.

Closing date: Do you need to close on a home quickly? Perhaps you need a little more time to search for your next home. There are also different advantages to closing at the beginning and end of the month.

All I can say is…”Wow! Yes Please!” Where do I even start? The white kitchen. The large bedrooms. The views. THE GUEST HOUSE. The free form pool. Two docks.

  • open floor plan

  • 3 beds, 2.5 baths in the main house and 2 beds, 2 baths in the guest house

  • again…that backyard

  • over 3,600 sqft

  • brick fireplace

  • the lush landscaping and location, location, location

This place is for you! I wouldn’t lie about that.

You can’t shock your loan officer. They’ve heard it all before. Count on the fact that your loan officer has answers to all the uncomfortable mortgage questions you may be too afraid to ask. Itchy topics like getting a home loan with no job, taking an ex off your mortgage after divorce, and filing for bankruptcy aren’t as scary as you think.

Opening up your personal life and your finances to someone you just met isn’t easy. Understandably, many borrowers are hesitant about laying all their cards on the table. Vanguard’s 2017 research found that a strong financial relationship is built largely on emotional trust. In short, looking out for a borrower’s interest. Finding a loan officer who’s not only willing but happy to answer some of your stickier…

I picked this Crescent neighborhood beauty because she and I go way back! This is my first house when I moved to the Lowcountry. I know all her nooks and crannies. I know that you will absolutely love the big windows that lets all the light in every morning, and I know you will love the wooded area in the backyard where all the birds hang out and play.

Quite frankly, this is an oldie but a goodie!

  • the perfect 3 bedroom 3 bath home just under 2,600 square feet

  • his and her closets

  • built-ins (who doesn’t love built-ins!?!)

  • a Carolina room and a covered lanai

  • new roof and exterior paint

  • it’s in the Crescent which is golf cart friendly and close to everything

I LOVE this house. Let me show…

You may have heard that spring and summer are the top home-selling seasons, and that fall is as dead as those leaves piling up on your lawn. But don’t be fooled.

“Fall is actually a great time to sell your home,” says real estate agent Carola Encarnacion of DJK Residential in New York City. “There’s less competition, and the market is still very active.”

So if your house is on the market right now, take heart! And heed what many experts say is the one best thing you can do to reel in buyers: Give your home an autumn upgrade with some staging.

To the uninitiated: Staging is the technique sellers use to showcase their home at its best through upgrading furniture and decor. And celebrating all things autumnal is the way to do it successfully…
