As your Realtors, The Procopio Group will guide you through the home buying process and help you find the next home you'll love.

Keep Your Money Where It Is
It's not wise to make any huge purchases or move your money around before buying a new home. You don't want to take any chances with your credit profile. Lenders need to see that you're reliable and they want a complete paper trail so that they can get you the best loan possible. If 
you open/close credit cards or buy big-ticket items, you're going to have a hard time getting a loan.

Cash Or Mortgage
If you're paying cash for your home you'll need to show proof of funds when placing an offer. Most people buying a home will have a mortgage. How much of a home loan you can afford is based on your assets and income. Finding a lender is a crucial step in the home buying process. Contact several mortgage companies and compare interest rates, costs and terms offered. The lender you choose will provide you with a pre-approval.

Don't Try To Time The Market
Don't obsess with trying to time the market and figure out when is the best time to buy. Trying to anticipate the housing market is impossible. The best time to buy is when you find your perfect house and you can afford it. Real estate is cyclical, it goes up and it goes down and it goes back up again. So, if you try to wait for the perfect time.

Give Your House A Physical
Hire a reputable home inspector. It'll cost about $400 but could end up saving you thousands. A home inspector's sole responsibility is to provide you with information so that you can make a decision as to whether or not to buy. It's the only way to get an unbiased third-party opinion. If the inspector does find any issues with the home, you can use it as a bargaining tool for lowering the price of the home. It's better to spend the money up front on an inspector than to find out later you have to spend a fortune.

Stalk The Neighborhood
​​​​​​​Before you buy, get the lay of the land — drop by morning, noon, and night. Many home buyers have become completely distraught because they thought they found the perfect home, only to find out the neighbor-hood wasn't for them. Drive by the house at all hours of the day to see what's happening in the neighborhood. Do your regular commute from the house to make sure it is something you can deal with on a daily basis. Find out how far it is to the nearest grocery store and other services.

Pricing It right
Find out what your home is worth, then shave 15% to 20% off. You'll be stam-peded by buyers with multiple bids and they'll bid up the price over what it's worth. It takes real courage and most sellers just don't want to risk it, but it's the single best strategy to sell a home in today's market.

Conceal the Lovable Critters
You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts of potential buyers, but you'd be wrong. Not everybody is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don't want to wa in your home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes. It will give buyers the impression that your house is not clean. If you're planning an open house, send the critters to pet hotel for the day.

Take the Home Out of Your House
De-clutter and de-personalize it. The more personal stuff in your house, the less buyers can imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your stuff — put it in storage (family photos, memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes). Consider a stager to maximize the full potential of your home.

The Kitchen Comes First
The benefits of remodeling your kitchen are endless. The best part of it is that you'll probably get 85% of your money back. It may be a few thousand dollars to replace counter tops where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can pres-ent buyers with a blank canvas where they can start envisioning their own style.

Always Be Ready to Show
Your house needs to be "show-ready" at all times. You have to be available whenever they want to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape. Don't leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It's a little in-convenient, but it will get your house sold.

​​​​​​​The First Impression Is the Only Impression
No matter how good the interior of your home looks, buyers have already judged your home before they walk through the door. You never have a second chance to make a first impression. It's important to make people feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the house. You can typically get a 100% return on the money you put into your home's curb appeal.

Play the Agent Field
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong broker. Make sure you have a broker who is totally informed. They must constant y know what properties are going on the market and know the comparable properties in your neighborhood. We at The Procopio Group will help you position your house based on your motivation and price at which you want to sell.
