Here are Heather Maier’s top 10 suggestions to help you sell your home quickly

1.  Price it right.  This is the number one factor.

2.  Get a CMA – Comparative Market Analysis so you can make data-driven decisions and make sure you are listing your home for a price that is both fair, and will make your home sell quickly in whatever the current market conditions are.

What is a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)?

A Comparative Market Analysis is a handy little tool most people would like to have.

Just like all tools, they are not the same in all hands.  I use state of the art technology and databases to create usable information for you.  

    -  A CMA will provide an educated, data based approximate estimate of your homes value.

·   -  It must be produced by a trained and licensed Real Estate Professional.

·   -  While there are standards and procedures, not all CMA’s are equal.

·         I use cutting edge technology, tapping into the most up to the moment records, with computerized data analytics with experienced human interpretation to bring you the best and truest assessment of your home.

WHY YOU WANT A CMA:

1.  It provides a good assessment of what your house could sell for.

2.  Investors and Buyers can get more detailed information and determine if the asking price really does reflect current market value before committing to buy.

3.  It helps you choose home improvements and upgrades wisely, determine which will bring you the best return on investment, and avoid over improving in the wrong areas.

4.  It helps you determine if your home value has risen enough that you may be eligible to ask for a home equity loan.

5.  It provides valuable insights and information to make your more knowlegable about your homes worth when looking at refinaincing.

6.  Some lenders may reduce your monthly mortgage payments by removing the Premium Mortgage Insurance if you can show your home value has increased, giving you no owe less than 80% of the homes current value.  (Every lender is different)

7.  It gives you first hand knowledge and about your homes value in todays current market.

·

What you should know about renting in Northern Virginia

Here are 10 things you may wish to know before renting in Virginia:

1.  Read the fine print.  Always make sure you know what you are agreeing to.

2.  Some leases require you to pay HOA (Home Owner Association) or Condo Fees in addition to the rent you are already paying.

3.  Prepare to pay a nonrefundable application fee for the places you want to rent.

4.  Know your credit score before you apply.  Many landlords will not consider tenants with a credit score below a certain level.

5.  Have your checkbook ready.  When you apply, be ready to submit a check for the first month’s rent and security deposit with it.

 

6.  Always disclose pets.  There are plenty of pet friendly communities.  Expect your pet deposit to be around $250- $500.

7.  Be aware of carpet cleaning requirements. Especially when you have pets.  Many landlords require the carpets be cleaned annually or bi-annually.

8.  Know your budget and how much you can really afford.

9.  Plan your timing.  Landlords won’t hold a property empty for an extra month until you’re ready to move.

10.  Call Heather Maier to help find your new rental home!

·         Get access to properties and databases not available to the general public.

·         Save your time by having Heather pre-screen potential properties for you.

·         Avoid discouragement. Find out quickly if the property you are interested in has already been rented.  Quite often it takes the public websites and rental sites up to a week to show it is not longer available.

·         Find the best deals that meet your criteria and lifestyle desires.

·         Get facts in advance so you won’t be surprised by clauses and fine print later.

IMPORTANT:  Most people do not know that it is the landlord that almost always takes care of my finders fee for you!  So you, my friend, have no reason not to call today!
