There are a number of reasons why you should hire a professional agent for your real estate transaction in New Jersey. It starts with experience.
Professional agents are educated and experienced in the entire real estate sales process.
Professional agents are also experts in pricing. They will help you understand today’s real estate values when setting a price on your home for sale, or preparing an offer to purchase.
Then there are negotiations. Professional agents act as a buffer in negotiations for all parties. Additionally, they’ll help you with negotiation strategies that improve your chances for success.
Then there’s the mountain of paperwork. Agents help with all disclosures and necessary paperwork in today’s heavilyregulated environment.
Agents also have a very clear understanding of the current market conditions. A real estate professional can effectively explain current real estate headlines and what they mean to you.

Most homeowners commonly approach me and ask, “What is my home worth?” There are a few ways for you to find out. Today, I will discuss a few steps you can take.
Ask yourself what similar homes around you have sold for. This is a great starting point. However, any additions or upgrades you’ve made on your home should also be taken into account.
Seek a competitive market analysis. This can provide an accurate value of your home in just a single action.
Hire an appraiser to look at your home. This is not always necessary, but they can provide numbers to make the investment worthwhile.
Price based on competition, consumption, and condition. I call them the three Cs. You need to know how many homes are in your price range, understand how many homes are selling a month, and compare your home to others on the market with honest expectations.

If you've been thinking about buying a home lately, I'm sure you've been getting a lot of advice from friends and family. I'm sure they want what is best for you, but they're not in your shoes, and they're not licensed real estate agents. Consider these three things when you buy a home:
Why are you even buying a home? Is it for financial reasons or do you want your own space?
Where are home values headed? You want to make sure your home is going to appreciate in value. A home is a major investment into your future. In 2016, homes are expected to appreciate by 4%.
Where are mortgage rates headed? It looks as if they're rising, so I suggest you buy a home as soon as possible.
Ultimately, only you and your family will know when to purchase a home. If you think the time is right, please don't hesitate to contact me. It's going to be a great year to buy a home!
