HOW DO YOUR FEES WORK?

Real estate agent and broker fees are typically paid by the seller and are negotiable. The average real estate agent commission ranges between 5% and 6% of the home's selling price, and this fee is split equally between the seller's and buyer's agent. The commission covers the services provided by the agents, such as marketing, staging, showing the property, and negotiating the sale.

HOW MANY HOMES SHOULD I LOOK AT BEFORE I MAKE A PURCHASING DECISION?

The number of homes you should look at before making a purchasing decision depends on various factors, such as your budget, location preferences, and personal needs. It is essential to consider these factors and weigh them against each other to make an informed decision. Here are some general guidelines to help you determine the right number of homes to look at:

  1. Budget: Consider your financial situation and determine how much you can afford to spend on a home. This will help you narrow down your options and avoid looking at properties that are too expensive or too affordable.

  2. Location: Prioritize the location of your new home based on factors such as proximity to the beach, proximity to work or schools, and nearby amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, and gyms.

  3. Home size and layout: Determine the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you need, as well as any additional spaces for guests or a home office.

  4. Condition: Assess the condition of the properties you view, including any potential repairs or improvements that may be needed.

  5. Affordability: Balance your desire for a larger or more luxurious home with the affordability of the property.

  6. Potential for appreciation: Consider the potential for the property to increase in value over time.

  7. Timeline: The typical homebuyer looks at about 10 homes in the span of 10 weeks before deciding on a home to buy. However, this timeline can vary depending on your local market, how fast you want to move, and how well you understand the steps of the homebuying journey.

When you have a clear understanding of your priorities and preferences, you can start looking at homes. As you view properties, make sure to compare them based on the factors mentioned above to make an informed decision. Keep in mind that the homebuying process is unique to every individual, and it may take time to find the perfect home that meets your needs and budget.
