REALTORยฎ VS Real Estate Agent ๐ค๐ฅ๐ ๐ค๐
People use the terms ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ยฎ and ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ interchangeably, but they are not really the same thing. Although both must be licensed to sell Real Estate, the main difference between them is that a REALTORยฎ works under a ๐พ๐ค๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐๐จ that makes his/hers real estate business practices much more restrictive and confining to conduct. REALTORS are proudly part of the ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐น๐ฌ๐จ๐ณ๐ป๐ถ๐น๐บยฎ, and have to pass a test on Code of Ethics regularly. They could be residential and commercial brokers, salespeople, property managers, etc. I hope this helps you when it is time to pick that Real Estate Professional that will make your dream home come true. ๐๐๐ค๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซยฎ, “๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐”.

4 Tips for Making a Competitive Offer โจ๐กโจ๐๐
So, youโve been searching for that perfect house to call โhome,โ and youโve finally found it! The price is right, and in such a competitive market, you want to make sure you make a good offer so that you can guarantee that your dream of making this house yours comes true!
Below are 4 steps provided by Freddie Mac to help buyers make offers, along with some additional information for your consideration:
1. Determine Your Price
โYouโve found the perfect home and youโre ready to buy. Now what? Your real estate agent will be by your side, helping you determine an offer price that is fair.โ
Based on your agentโs experience and key considerations (like similar homes recently sold in the same neighborhood or the condition of the house and what you can afford), your agent will help you to determine the offer that you are going to present.
Getting pre-approved will not only show home-sellers that you are serious about buying, but it will also allow you to make your offer with confidence because youโll know that you have already been approved for a mortgage in that amount.
2. Submit an Offer
โOnce youโve determined your price, your agent will draw up an offer, or purchase agreement, to submit to the sellerโs real estate agent. This offer will include the purchase price and terms and conditions of the purchase.โ
Talk with your agent to find out if there are any ways in which you can make your offer stand out in this competitive market! A licensed real estate agent who is active in the neighborhoods you are considering will be instrumental in helping you put in a solid offer.
3. Negotiate the Offer
โOftentimes, the seller will counter the offer, typically asking for a higher purchase price or to adjust the closing date. In these cases, the sellerโs agent will submit a counteroffer to your agent, detailing their desired changes, at this time, you can either accept the offer or decide if you want to counter.
Each time changes are made through a counteroffer, you or the seller have the option to accept, reject or counter it again. The contract is considered final when both parties sign the written offer.โ
If your offer is approved, Freddie Mac urges you to โalways get an independent home inspection, so you know the true condition of the home.โ If the inspector uncovers undisclosed problems or issues, you can discuss any repairs that may need to be made with the seller or even cancel the contract altogether.
4. Act Fast
The inventory of homes listed for sale has remained well below the 6-month supply that is needed for a โnormalโ market. Buyer demand has continued to outpace the supply of homes for sale, causing buyers to compete with each other for their dream homes.
Make sure that as soon as you decide that you want to make an offer, you work with your agent to present it as quickly as possible.
Bottom Line
Whether buying your first home or your fifth, having a local real estate professional who is an expert in his or her market on your side is your best bet in making sure the process goes smoothly. Call me and letโs talk about how I can make your dream of homeownership a reality!
