Want to Sell Your Home Faster? Schedule a Home Inspection Before You List

October 6, 2019 By admin

When you put your home on the market, you want it to sell quickly—and profitably. And one of the best tricks you can use to sell your home faster and for a higher price? Scheduling a home inspection before you list.

A recent article on Realtor.com broke down the benefits of having your home inspected before you start showing it to potential buyers. Scheduling a home inspection before you put your home on the market gives you a heads-up on any necessary repairs that could lower your home’s selling price (or kill the sale entirely). Knowing what’s wrong with your home gives you extra time to find the right team and schedule repairs (instead of scrambling at the last minute to find anyone who can take the job before you close). And once you have those fixed, it can help you fetch a higher asking price and increase your profit from your home sale.

The Takeaway:

If you’re thinking about selling your home, do yourself a favor and schedule an inspection before you list. Not only will this give you key insights into any necessary repairs, but it can also help you sell your home faster (and for a higher price) once you do put it on the market.

Getting the Mortgage Monkey Off Your Back

April 9, 2019 By admin

pay off mortgage soonOnly 34% of Americans own their homes free and clear. All other homeowners have a mortgage they’re chipping away at. If you have a mortgage you may want to consider paying it off early.

Before you begin, you should know…

Some states allow lenders to implement prepayment penalties, which means it could actually cost you more to pay off your mortgage early. Regulations vary per situation, so before you proceed, find out from your lender if you’d face a prepayment penalty on your mortgage.

If there is a penalty…

Decide if it’s worth it to you. Fines are typically a percentage of the mortgage itself. Carefully evaluate risk versus reward before committing.

If there is no penalty…

Start chipping away at your principal as soon as you can. The first five years is the best time to make additional payments toward your principal.
