Can I determine how much my home is worth from an internet website?

The answer to this frequently asked question is simply no.  Anyone who has bought a home, sold a home, or just looked at homes, has heard of websites such as Zillow.  These third-party websites use computer generated home values based on calculations and formulas and provide sellers with inaccurate home value information.  It’s critical that when selling a home in the Lake Country, Waukesha or Milwaukee areas to use a local top-rated Realtor from Victory Realty Elite.
 

Should I talk with a bank before looking at homes?

The answer to the question is yes.  First and foremost, talking with a bank before looking at homes can help you understand exactly how much you can afford.  Another important reason is so you understand exactly what costs are associate with buying a home.  A mortgage professional provided by Victory Realty Elite can give you advice on the type of financing you should be looking to obtain and also whether or not you should request the seller to contribute towards your closing costs.

What are seller concessions or closing cost credits?

There are many buyers in the market with great credit scores and solid jobs but are short on the funds required to purchase a home.  Seller concessions or a closing cost credit allows a homeowner to contribute a dollar amount towards a buyer’s closing costs.  This amount is subtracted from the total sale price of the offer to purchase.
 

Should I stay home during showings?

The main reason you should not be home is potential buyers can feel uncomfortable to talk open and freely with their realtor about your home.  They do not want to say anything negative that could offend the seller.  It is ideal to leave 15-minutes prior the scheduled showing and come back once you are absolutely certain the buyer and their realtor have left the home.

What is the difference between the list price and the sale price?

The list price is the price a home is currently for sale at.  The sale price is the price a home sold at.  Victory Realty Elite is able to suggest a list price based on your Market & Home Evaluation which will result in the highest sale price.
 

What is the Multiple Listing Service?

What do I need to fix before selling my home?

One of the hardest decisions a seller has is determining which defects need attention before selling the home.  It is important to get the home as move-in ready as possible.  Even minor fixes can do a great deal so begin by taking a walk around the interior and exterior of your home.  As your Full-Service homeseller, Victory Realty Elite would be happy to provide our experience to help you determine how to get the best return on your investment.
 

What is a loan commitment letter?

A loan commitment letter is an indication that the buyer’s home loan has been approved.  It is different from a lender pre-qualification letter, which indicates that a lender has reviewed some preliminary information provided by the borrower verbally but has not yet reviewed financial documentation.  It is also different from a pre-approval letter, which indicates that the lender has reviewed financial documents and is awaiting final review and appraisal for a particular home purchase.
