Are you looking to become a first-time homebuyer? Here are 3 things you might not know about hiring a real estate agent.👇

It doesn’t cost you anything. Real estate agents get a commission from the seller, not a fee from you!
Every agent has their specialty. Look for an agent that specializes in helping first-time homebuyers find their new crib.
Make sure you vibe with your real estate agent. They’re your advocate in the process, there to represent you and your needs!

Superficial changes can make a bigger impact on buyers than more intensive renovations. I can’t stress enough the difference a fresh coat of paint can make—especially given the low cost of this upgrade.

A fresh coat of paint throughout your house can increase the home’s sale price by as much as 5 percent. Other simple upgrades, from replacing old light fixtures to changing out your front door, can also give your home a nice bump in value.

The # 1 Question: How Much Will I Make Selling My House?

How much you will make depends on the sale price, agent commissions, closing costs, and the remaining mortgage balance.

If working with a real estate agent, you should receive a seller’s net sheet before you even list your property, which details what you can estimate to make.
When you have accepted an offer and are in escrow, you will get a closing disclosure from the lender that details exactly how much you will receive after the loan closes.
