Buying & Selling
Valuation, prepping to sell, and the closing process.
Buyer's Agent vs Seller's Agent
A buyer's agent represents your interests as a buyer. A seller's agent (listing agent) represents the seller. Same person cannot represent both in most states without dual agency disclosure.
The Best Time of Year to Sell a Home
Spring and early summer generate the most buyer activity and highest prices in most markets. Late fall and winter see fewer buyers but less competition. The right season depends on your market and family situation.
The Appraisal Contingency
The appraisal contingency protects buyers if the property appraises below purchase price. Without it, buyer must bring cash to cover the gap or lose the earnest money.
