Buffalo NY is a community that has been misunderstood by many but those that live in Western New York know it is a wonderful place to call home.   Situated in the western portion of New York state nestled on shores of Lake Erie.  The Buffalo region is one of the fastest growing Real Estate markets in the United States today.  To the north is Niagara Falls and over the boarder Toronto.

Buffalo is a city under an amazing amount of change; all for the positive. Visitors regularly say, "I had no idea." This expression of surprise has happened so often weve given it a name: the "Who Knew?" effect. As in, "Who knew Buffalo was such a beautiful city?" or "Who knew there was so much to do here?" or the "Who knew there were so many amazing restaurants?"

Why Use a Realtor

 

Why Use A Realtor® for your Buffalo Home Purchase?


The logo for the National Association of Realtors®

Why Use a REALTOR®?

In this highly competitive real estate market in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, can you really afford not to work with a professional who does this every day?

All New York real estate licensees are not the same.  Only real estate licensees who are members of the National Association of Realtors® can call themselves Realtors®. Are you working with just a Licensed Salesperson or a Realtor®?

There is so much more to being a Realtor® than meets the eye.  Professionals that take their career seriously are professional learners and they are always learning new aspects to the ever changing landscape of Real Estate.

The Realtor® Code of Ethics is a standard of how we do business.  Not only do they have to be experts at buying and selling Real Estate in the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area, they have to stay competitive with others out there. Read the rest of this entry »

Questions to answer before you put your home up for sale by yourself...

 

Questions to answer before you put your home up for sale by yourself...

home-seller-tips

If you are selling your home by yourself you may not be aware of many aspects the sale of your home that a Realtor® takes care of at the time of listing. Eventually you are going to have to answer these questions. Isn't it better if you answer them before you get asked by a potential Western New York Buyer?

Questions like:

  • Do you know what forms you will need, contracts and disclosures required by law?
  • How soon can you move?
  • Are you willing to take a contingent offer based on the buyer being able to sell their home?
  • Would you consider selling your home Rent to Own?
  • Do you know what are seller concessions?
  • Are you willing to make concessions to the buyer?
  • Can the buyer assume your current mortgage? If so, what rate and on what terms?
  • Do you know what should be in a sales contract?
  • What protection(s) do you want to put in the offer-to-purchase for yourself?
  • How are you going to handle home inspections?
  • Do you understand what an appraisal is?
  • How are you going to qualify potential buyers?
  • What earnest money deposit do you require?
  • What closing costs are you willing to pay?
  • Are you going to work with Real Estate Buyer's Agents? If so, what will you pay them if they bring the buyer?

Many times, by not answering these questions up front before you put your home for sale, it puts you at a disadvantage. Potential buyers many times would rather work with representation and skip over your home for sale. Do you really want to miss time and potential money by doing all this work yourself?
