If you are disappointed to find that someone else has already submitted a contract on your dream house, you may want to consider making a backup offer. The housing market has been tight everywhere in recent months, so discuss this option with your real estate agent if you really love the house. Backup offers don't always work out, but enough do that you might want to consider the possibility. Because the backup offer is a binding contract, you want to be sure that your financing is approved and that you've included all the contingencies that you would have in a first offer. If the original contract falls apart for any reason, you must be prepared to follow through with the purchase. Make your offer a fully executed agreement signed by you and the sellers, outlining price and terms. This will ensure that they must sell to you within a specified time period if the house becomes available again. There are many reasons the original offer might fall through:

• The buyers' loan might not be approved. Loans are becoming tougher to get and if they can't get approval, the buyers will have to back out of the deal.
• The lender will require a home appraisal to verify the home's worth. If the appraiser says the property is worth less than the price offered, the lender can deny the mortgage.
• The home inspection might uncover problems that the buyers don't want to deal with and the original contract can fall apart.
• The buyers may have made a contingency contract based on the sale of their current home. If that sale doesn't materialize in time, the domino effect could make your dream home available again.
• There might even be problems due to homeowner association requirements. For example, the buyers might have three pets and back out of the contract when they discover the HOA only allows two.

Several of these scenarios can work well for you and your backup offer. If the first deal crumbles, the sellers may be willing to move ahead very quickly with your offer. With a contract on the table, they had already begun the mental process of packing, moving and handing over the keys to someone else. If their deal comes to a screeching halt, the seller may be very willing to accept your backup offer just to keep the momentum going. You may also realize an advantage if problems were uncovered by the inspection conducted for the first buyers. Those issues aren't going away, so the seller may be more reasonable in negotiations with you rather than lose the deal a second time. The seller is legally required to disclose any problems with the house, so you will know any of issues uncovered by the first inspection before you start to spend time and money on inspections of your own. Real estate transactions require many steps and something can go wrong at any phase of the process. Rely on your agent to walk you through every phase, including preparing a backup offer. It may save the day when your dream house is on the line.

Home inspections, sales history and a good school district are the kinds of things that tend to speak to a buyer's head. A personal letter from you about your home can speak to the heart. A home sale is an emotional choice and a "love letter" about the features that have made your house a home can make your property stand out. It may not clinch the sale on its own, but it could certainly make your place more attractive and memorable to prospective buyers. Leave copies of the letter out during an open house next to other information provided by your agent. Some sellers frame their letter and leave it in a prominent place for buyers to see. Your agent could also email it to interested prospects. Be sure to include a photo of the house within the letter. Your writing needs to sound authentic and sincere. Make it personal and positive. You can include family memories, details about the neighborhood, information about nearby shopping and restaurants, the schools your children attend, or a little history of the house itself. Explain some of the reasons why you have loved living in this home. The sample here incorporates many of these options: Dear Home Buyers, Nine years ago, we were searching for our first house. We had looked in many parts of the city, but kept hoping something would open up here in Deer Run. When this house became available, we only looked at it once before making an offer and still talk about how lucky we were to get it. The house had all the things we wanted most on our wish list:  a gas stove and double oven in the kitchen, lots of storage, a laundry room by the master bedroom and a fenced yard for our dog. But it also had nearly everything else we hoped for - a pretty mantelpiece, room for my grandmother’s piano, and a big window over the kitchen sink. The large atrium area for the breakfast nook was an extra bonus. So many traditions and memories are tied up in this home. We always put our Christmas tree in the front window and rearranged the furniture so we could sit on the sofa to look at the tree and watch the fireplace at the same time. Add a long table or two to extend the dining room seating out into the front hallway and you can have at least 20 people here for dinner. We did that lots of times for birthdays and holidays. We had many wonderful parties out on the deck -- there’s room for a crowd. Laughter and good food were enjoyed while the kids caught lightning bugs and played flashlight tag. The neighbors whose yards touch ours are all such good people. We’ve had many great talks over the back fence. The annual Popsicle Parade on the Fourth of July has always started in front of our house with everyone back here at the end. All our immediate neighbors help host it -- so much fun! Tomato plants thrive in the side yard and the dogwood trees are beautiful in the spring. There are pink and white peonies in front, lots of tulips and daylilies come up every year and the maple tree at the back of the yard turns a spectacular red color every fall. Aside from our house, we are going to miss the neighborhood. We are close to a couple of fabulous restaurants (be sure to try the shrimp and grits at McNeally’s!), our favorite golf course is only a half mile away, and the kids can walk to the elementary school. Actually, if we could commute to Springfield, we wouldn’t consider moving, but it’s just too far away. This has been a home filled with love and we wish you, the next owners, the same good fortune. Be sure to sign your name. You are giving potential buyers a look at the special memories you created in your house. It might also be a gentle, cathartic exercise for you as you say goodbye to one part of your life and get ready for the next chapter.

You've searched and searched, finding nothing that suits, when suddenly you've found not one, but two homes that would be perfect. What to do? First, remember that your housing market may demand that you come to a decision quickly. You don't want your dream home to get away. Be prepared to make a prompt, reasonable decision using your head as well as your heart.

Make a list to help weigh the pros and cons of each property.  Start with the basics:

• Size
• Condition
• Age
• Schools
• Distance to your workplace
• Transportation options
• Homeowners association dues

Take a look at the surrounding neighborhood. Is it well maintained and safe? Look to see if there are many other homes for sale and check on the area's crime statistics.

How long have each of your two favorite houses been listed? A seller is more likely to accept a lower offer if the home has been on the market a long time. If the price between the two homes is significantly different, the cost might be a deciding factor. Committing to a 15 or 30-year mortgage means your standard of living may be better starting with the lower price.

If you have children, you are likely interested in having other families living nearby, proximity to playgrounds and parks, as well as good schools. Even if you don't have children, note that homes near quality schools will hold their value better than those near poor-performing schools.

Finally, which of your two candidates has the most features from the wishlist you had in mind when you started your search? A gourmet kitchen, space for gardens, room for entertaining, a home office, walk-in closets – what do you want the most and which house hits more of your hot buttons?

This list will likely nudge one home to the top. Throughout your deliberation, be sure to use your real estate agent's skills to help guide you through the process. Your agent has great knowledge about market data and the investment potential of the properties. He or she will have important information on the situation of each of the homes' sellers. Your agent will be glad to take you through the houses more than once or twice so you feel comfortable with your decision. Depend on your agent to take emotion out of the equation and help you look at the facts about each property.

Ultimately, you don't want to spend too much time deliberating between the two homes or they may be lost to other buyers. If all else fails, go with your gut. If you are deciding between two dream homes, you can't go wrong.

An inspection of the physical condition of a house should be included as a condition of closing the sale. Your real estate agent will make arrangements for a professional inspector to look for defects in the roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems, paint, windows, doors, and foundation. The inspector will also check for dry rot, mold and pest infestations, and should check outside for any problems with grading, drainage or retaining walls. You might want to arrange for inspections for mold, asbestos, lead or radon. Depending on the property, you may want to ask for testing well water, oil tanks or septic systems. Most inspectors are qualified to conduct all of these tests, although some may require additional fees. The seller is required to provide a disclosure sheet about any issues of which they are aware. This is just a starting point for the inspector, however, because there are likely problems the sellers either don’t know exist or have actually forgotten about. It is most common for buyers to have the inspection done after they have made an offer and the sale of the house is contingent on the buyer's approval of the results of the inspections and resulting repairs. Keep in mind that all objectionable inspection issues must be "repairs" and not "improvements". A repair may be a broken window, for example, and an improvement would be new counter tops. The inspection usually takes two or three hours and will usually cost between $200 to $500 depending on the size, age, location and type of home. Buyers are encouraged to be present during the inspection so they can ask questions, learn about maintenance of the property and get a sense of which problems are serious and which are fairly minor. The inspector will provide a written report of all findings which will be presented to both the buyers and sellers. If the report shows no major problems, you can move forward with the purchase feeling confident that you are getting what you are paying for. If there are big issues on the report, like major termite damage or an antiquated electrical panel, you can negotiate with the sellers to have them pay for repairs or lower the purchase price, or you can back out of the deal completely.

With each quarter of a percent increase in interest rate, the value of the home you can afford decreases by 2.5%, (in this example, $6,250). Experts predict that mortgage rates will be closer to 5% by this time next year. Act now to get the most house for your hard-earned money. According to Freddie Mac’s latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, interest rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage are currently at 4.09%, which is still very low in comparison to recent history! The interest rate you secure when buying a home not only greatly impacts your monthly housing costs, but also impacts your purchasing power. Purchasing power, simply put, is the amount of home you can afford to buy for the budget you have available to spend. As rates increase, the price of the house you can afford will decrease if you plan to stay within a certain monthly housing budget. The chart below shows what impact rising interest rates would have if you planned to purchase a home within the national median price range, and planned to keep your principal and interest payments at or about $1,100 a month.

I have put together some of the best advice I can give to help my sellers get their home sold for the most money and in the least amount of time.

Also, please feel free to contact me about your home.  I am always available for your call.    856.889.8163  

   1. Are you ready to sell your home?

I have had a few clients that just weren't ready to sell their home. Whether it be emotional ties, not sure if they want to move, financial or not sure where they want to go. The truth is, it is not easy to sell a home and it can be a frustrating experience, so if you list your home, make certain you are ready. I am aware you have put everything, your heart, soul and emotions into your home. You most likely raised your family there, so I understand that this could be an emotional decision. It may be easier said than done, but try to keep emotions out of it if you can. Also take into consideration there is most likely going to be a home inspection. Usually if a home is well taken care of, this may not be an issue. Although an agent is in no way a home inspector, a good listing agent can recommend looking into certain issues they may see while walking through your home. Keep in mind that nothing takes the place of a thorough home inspection.  

2. Hiring the wrong agent

Do you have a friend of a friend that sells real estate? Maybe a family member that is part time? Or maybe a referral from family? Great, just make certain it's a good fit and the agent is full time and has years of experience. I cannot stress the full time comment enough. Remember, you are most likely selling the largest investment you've ever made and experience counts! A part time or inexperienced agent may not be able to effectively negotiate the sale of your home. As far as hiring a family member, you may want to rethink that as this could be a stressful experience. While speaking with an agent, make sure you're comfortable with them. It is very important to listen and determine their experience level. You can hire a great agent, or a bad agent, they cost about the same.  

3. Pricing your home simply on the profit you want to make. Otherwise known as "Overpricing"

Stop right there! This is most likely the number 1 reason a home does not sell, overpricing your home. I am aware you put thousands of dollars into your home, I work hard to get that back for you, and then some. I also see that your home may be the best on the block. However, one thing is for certain, if the comparables don't match what you feel is a good price, than you may have an issue selling. The longer the home sits, the less a buyer wants to pay for that home. I have seen bidding wars with multiple bids on a home that is priced correctly, actually netting the seller more than they initially thought. This happened to me in early 2016. The house had 2 previous offers and the 3rd came in for $10,000 over the other 2 offers. Needless to say, the sellers were ecstatic, the home closed and everyone was happy.  

4. Pet Odors, Smoke Odors and just unpleasant odors

Cigarette smoke, Cigars, Pet odors and any other odors are costly to a seller. No buyer wants to replace carpet and paint due to odors. This can reduce a buyers offer considerably. The first thought a potential buyer has will be "Do I have to replace all the flooring, paint etc". Be honest with yourself and make an evaluation of your home. If you smoke, have pets or are alerted to any unpleasant odors in your home take action. I'll definitely let you know if I smell anything during the listing appointment. Remember, I want to get the most money for my sellers.  

5. Not disclosing past issues with your home

Does your roof leak? Does your basement get water? Even if you had those issues fixed, or any other major issues, it's always best to disclose them. If you had issues fixed, keep your receipts to give to the new buyer. Another issue I see a lot, prior termite infestation. The saying goes something like this - There are two types of homes in NJ, The one's that have termites, and the one's that will have termites. If you had termite damage/infestation repaired and remediated, keep your receipts with a clear termite certification. If you are on a yearly plan, keep it. The inspector will know if the home has been treated and repaired for termites. The buyers agent will ask for proof of the repairs and treatments. I have seen this issue come up multiple times in 2016.  

6. Marketing your home

It is your agents job to market your home properly (at their expense too). Make certain the agent you choose will use professional photography to accent your home's best features. There is no doubt that a professionally photographed home stands out and gets more views than one that is not. Depending on your home, your agent may also choose to have video taken. It is no secret that homes with video, move up rapidly in the search engines giving your home more views. Internet marketing is the number 1 way to get your home out there for the potential buyers to see. Facebook advertising is another enormous advantage that should be used by your agent. This is where experience comes in. I use professional photography, video and I advertise heavily on the internet. I budget for facebook ads for your home also. Don't let an agent just put your home on the market and walk away from it.

Some final thoughts....

Make certain your home is ready to list and show ready. When I take a listing, I walk around the home and make suggestions in regards to cosmetic issues, and any obvious issues I may see that can affect the sale of your home. Some very inexpensive fix ups, paint, neutral colors, get the carpets cleaned so they smell fresh, clear the clutter, if you have pets make sure you can't smell them. Good landscaping equals good curb appeal, colorful flowers, remove weeds from flower beds, remove weeds from sidewalks etc. You may think this doesn't help however, I know from experience, you won't be wasting your time.
