This is a fast paced market. If you wait until the weekend you might lose out on a chance for a home.
It is nice for seller’s right now because you are not inconvenienced for a length of time drug out for weeks with occasional showings. If it is priced right it will sell. Once you get past the home inspection after accepting a contract the next person to come through will be the appraiser.
We will guide you through the process and work with your real estate attorney on any issues that might come up with the home inspection and attorney review.
We can set you up for email alerts that will automatically email you listings of homes with your criteria as soon as they hit the market.
