First of all, congratulations on deciding to become a first time homebuyer! I know this is a very exciting time for you and I want to make sure that you have a positive experience with the proper guidance. As a first time homebuyer in Rancho Cucamonga or any other city, I understand that you are about to make the single biggest purchase most first time homebuyers ever will, therefore you should consider the following advice. Get pre-approved. As a first time homebuyer, it is very important that you know how much you qualify for when searching for a home. This will save you time and a potential heartache of viewing homes that aren’t within your budget. Also, make sure you do this pre-approval step first! You do not want to find the home of your dreams and see it go under contract as you wait to get your approval. Location is key. Research the city you want to live in thoroughly; how are the school districts ranked? What kind of activities and events does the city have? Does it fit with the lifestyle you have? Rancho Cucamonga is a great, diverse and thriving city to consider moving to. Find a top trusted real estate agent. You want to make sure that you have a realtor that is an experienced negotiator, that knows how to listen to your wants and needs and can in turn find the right home for you. You also want your real estate agent to be readily available to answer all your questions with knowledgeable answers. As Rancho Cucamonga’s top performing real estate expert, I would be more than happy to offer you my expertise and guide you as a first time homebuyer. Be aware of contingencies. Once all parties accept the offer you made, the transaction moves forward and you come upon contingencies. You have to be aware of these and make sure you want to move forward with the process. Some of these contingencies include: home inspection, appraisal, loan approval, insurance, home owners association rules (if they apply) and others. You deserve the best service and information at hand to make the right decision.

Being a home seller in Rancho Cucamonga doesn’t have to scare you off or be a complicated process. As long as you are well prepared and take into account the twelve key points for selling your home, you are off to a good start! The twelve points for a home seller in Rancho Cucamonga You should always prepare your home for the market. By this I mean that you should make sure your house is clean and de-cluttered. You want to make sure your home is presentable. You don’t expect potential buyers interested in a house that has questionable smells and things lying around everywhere do you? Be ready to encounter curious individuals. I would be lying if I told you that all buyers will keep their hands to themselves. Some will have the tendency to look inside the garage, open up that pantry door and/or look inside your closet out of curiosity. As real estate agents, we always try to keep an eye out and make sure no one steals anything but we can’t be in every single room at once during an open house. Because of this I recommend that you make sure to store anything you consider valuable in a safe place. Your Realtor is a professional for a reason. Don’t try to sell your home; that is what we are here for! Location, condition and competition. If you are a really motivated home seller in Rancho Cucamonga, the price you choose to list it for should closely consider these three factors. Look at your numbers. For example lets take a look at 31-10-1. If in thirty-one days you do not have at least ten showings and one offer, you need to reevaluate your price and consider readjusting it. Don’t worry about pricing low. First of all, you are not required to accept any offer a buyer gives you. If you do price low, you may end up receiving multiple offers as buyers compete with one another. Be careful with pricing too high. Please refer back to #5. Become an accommodated seller. As you probably guessed, the more number of buyers have the opportunity to see your house the better! It’s important that you are flexible with showing requests. If your house gets a second showing, this is usually a good sign. Even if your house is the runner up and is being compared to another similar house, it shows that the buyer is interested. Don’t belittle an offer that is below asking price. This may be the offer you are looking for. It may just be in the stages of talking and renegotiations before it’s up to par to the asking price you are looking for. Expect contingencies and be ready to face them. Also if there are issues you know you can’t fix, I suggest you let the buyer know up front. It is best to be transparent and possibly consider these in your pricing. 12.Select the right real estate agent in Rancho Cucamonga.
