Changing Lifestyles As our lifestyle changes, whether due to job changes, interests or size of our family, often our housing requirements change. Each change has its own unique challenges and rewards. If you are thinking about moving within the local area, here are some things to consider as both a buyer and a seller: Meet with a REALTOR to determine your housing requirements. As a REALTOR, I am experienced at assisting people to define just what it is that they want and need. I have moved several times either because of a lifestyle change or a job change, both crosstown and cross country. Drawing on my professional and personal experience, I can help make this move your easiest and best! My Buyer Profile can help determine your specific housing needs. North Carolina Real Estate Law allows REALTORS to represent both sellers and buyers. When listing a property for sale, the REALTOR becomes the agent of the seller and owes the seller the following duties: Loyalty Diligence Confidentiality Reasonable Care Obedience Disclosure Accounting Buyers may also elect to have their REALTOR represent them as their agent and are therefore owed the same duties. As your REALTOR, I can represent you as your listing agent when selling your home, and as your buyers agent when assisting you in finding your new home. I will be happy to send you free information on agency laws. Also, find out the specifics of how I, Susan Sommer, can represent you as a listing agent and a buyer's agent. Contact a lender to discuss the best financial package for you. A lender will be able to advise you about the amount of cash needed to purchase your new home and what the monthly payments will be. This will help you determine the price range you are comfortable with. I will be happy to provide you with the names of several lenders who can help you get started. The first important question to answer is "What is the market value of my home?" As your REALTOR, I will do a full home marketing evaluation to determine your home's market value and how to obtain the best possible price for your home. Another question to be answered is "Can I find a home that meets my needs?" As your REALTOR, I can help you answer this question through an in-depth consultation and qualified counseling on the current housing market. I will review with you available homes in your price range and that meet your specific needs. Together we will decide which homes to preview. Determine whether or not you have to sell your existing home before buying your next. Again, a lender can help you answer this question. You may qualify for a bridge loan. Whether you need to sell your home before or after you buy your next home, you need the information that puts you in control and a step-by-step plan to accomplish your goals!! It's my job, as your REALTOR, to provide you with the right information and the right plan!! Let me put my knowledge and experience to work. Feel comfortable that you will be able to find a home that meets your needs? Great!
