Tips for Home Buyers

When you think about making an offer on a particular home, think three levels for pricing.

1. Your economy goal or the lowest price you think you could possibly get it for
2. The average price you would consider paying
3. Your bold goal or the highest price you would pay for the home of your choice

When you've narrowed your home search to several options I find it is worth making the offer on your favorite home, even if it looks like it's a bit out of reach. When I'm doing my research I will learn more about the sellers' circumstances. For example, maybe the sellers are more than ready to move on and into a smaller home or due to a job loss in the family they are at risk of missing a mortgage payment.

My research will help you negotiate the best price for the home of your dreams. Call or text me at 312 342 9333, or email me at cecily@signaturerealtor.com
