Advice For A Shifting Real Estate Market- Do Incentives Work?As we enter 2019, the real estate market is all over the news. Rising interest rates, climbing days on market, and more inventory are causing soon to be sellers tension. Alexandria La home sellers have historically offered incentives to help move properties. Let's take a look at how common incentives work (or don't) in the current climate...1) Closing Costs Assistance-- Depending on the price point, seller assistance with closing costs is common. Depending on the lender, loan type, and price point closing costs and prepaids can run between 4,000-6,500 dollars. Of course everything is negotiable and every transaction is unique. In the past years I have seen transactions where sellers paid all, some, and even no closing costs.2)...

Should I Bring My Kids To Look At Homes?Working with a large number of first time buyers, the issue of kids on home tour often comes up. The children are likely to spend their formative years in the next house, so shouldn't they tag along? As the father of four kids and a seasoned real estate broker in Alexandria La, here's my insight...Reasons For Bringing The Kids1) There are two of us and only one of them-- One parent can tour while the other focuses on junior. Easy enough, right? Not so fast, kids tend to cling to one parent over the other. This means One parent is actively engaged in house hunting, the other is babysitting. If I had a dollar for every time I heard a parent say, "Here, it's your turn to watch the baby"2) Baby sitters are expensive-- Who wants to spend 30-50 bucks fo...

How To Avoid "Giving Your House Away" When SellingA common concern Alexandria La home sellers have is leaving money on the real estate negotiating table. Such thinking is understandable, as the home represents most people's largest asset. Let's take a look at concrete steps sellers can take to get every dollar possible...1) Exposure your home to the largest audience possible-- From time to time sellers will approach me to do a private transaction. While there is nothing inherently unethical with a private transaction, top dollar is found when ALL buyers have a shot at the property.2) Clean, clean, clean-- I have seen sellers invest thousands on home improvements, then not take out the trash prior to a scheduled showing. Buyers cannot see past your trash. Clean like someone you wish to i...

Is It A Good Idea To Rent My Home While We Sell It?Even in the best real estate market, finding a buyer (and getting to the closing table) may take a few months. From time to time sellers will ask if  a short term renter is a viable option. For most Alexandria La home owners the short answer is "probably not". Let's take a closer look at some of the potential concerns associated with renting. Less showing availability--Most renters will tell you accommodating showing requests will be "no problem". Then the requests come in and are either 1) denied by the renter or 2) the tenant goes in stealth mode. Either way, the showing opportunity is missed. A shallow renter pool-- Moving is both time consuming and costly. Want incentive does a renter have for a month to month lease? Is it worth the...
