Meet a Relentless Real Estate Agent

I am a member of the National Association of Realtor® (NAR), Louisiana Realtors®, New Orleans Metropolitan Board of Realtor®, Women's Council of Realtors® St. Tammany Network, and the Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale.

SELLERS FAQ - Frequently asked questions
1.
How do I determine the right price for my property?
I conduct a comprehensive market analysis, considering recent sales, current market trends, and the unique features of your property to determine an accurate and competitive listing price.
2.
How long does the home buying process typically take?
The timeline varies, but on average, it takes about 30 to 45 days from offer acceptance to closing. Delays can sometimes occur
due to inspections, negotiations, or
financing approval.
3.
How can I enhance my home's curb appeal before selling?
Simple enhancements like landscaping, a fresh coat of paint, and minor repairs can significantly boost curb appeal. I can provide personalized suggestions during our pre-listing consultation.
5.
Should I make repairs before listing the house?
you may want to consider making some repairs before putting your home on the market. Smaller, cosmetic repairs can be a good idea to make your home more marketable (and more valuable). On bigger, known issues, like a damaged roof or a broken AC unit, you have two options: make the repairs and foot the bill yourself, or adjust your price accordingly. Most buyers won’t pay top-dollar if they know there are big, expensive projects waiting in the wings.
6.
What can I do if my house isn’t selling?
There’s a chance your home won’t sell as quickly as you’d like. If this happens, your home might be overpriced for the market it’s in. You should compare your listing price to recent sales of comparable parties and adjust the number accordingly. You may also want to make any repairs that could be holding buyers back from purchasing it.
4.
What costs should I anticipate when selling my home?
7.
In addition to agent fees, you may encounter closing costs, potential repairs, and buyer(s) concessions. We provide a transparent breakdown of expected costs during our consultation.
Can I take my favorite light fixture (or other favorite home feature) with me?
Anything that’s attached to the house is something you’ll need to leave behind for the buyer. This includes light fixtures, built-in shelving units, blinds, door hardware, and more. If there’s something specific you don’t want included in the sale, make sure you bring it up during negotiations. You’ll need to note it in your sales contract.

BUYERS F.A.Q. - Frequently asked questions
1.
What is my 1st step to qualify to buy a home?
Know your credit is the first step to home purchase. You have three (3) credit scores -Equifax, Transunion, Experian. You have to credit qualify to purchase a home and the lenders have credit score requirement to obtain a loan. Credit scores represent less risk to the lender. The higher the score will most often result in a lower down payment requirement and better interest rate. Once your credit is ready you should seek a lender of your choice.
2.
What is a FICO score?
FICO Scores (a.k.a credit scores) are calculated based only on information in a consumer’s credit report maintained by the credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion which are general-purpose score models used to predict credit risk. The FICO Score uses a numerical range of 300 to 850, where higher scores indicate lower credit risk.

6.
What do I need to get pre-qualified/pre-approved to buy a home?
2-months of pay check stubs, last 2 years of taxes with W-2s, 2 months of bank statements. If you are self employed you should have 3 years of back taxes with lost and profit sheets and 1099s.
7.
What costs should I anticipate when buying my home?
Upfront cost you should prepare for are:
good faith to secure the contract, inspection(s) cost, and appraisal fee.
Your closing costs fees on day of Act of Sale will include:
lender fees, title fees, 1 year of insurances cost, and pre-paids to start your escrow accounts. Your lender will provide a transparent breakdown of your closing cost that is expected during their consultation.
8.
What is Good Faith / Earnest Money?
When you find a home and enter into a purchase contract, the seller may withdraw the house from the market. Earnest money, or good faith deposit, is a sum of money you put down to demonstrate your seriousness about buying a home.
In most states, earnest money acts as a deposit on the property you're contracted to buy, and is credited towards your final closing cost fees at Act of Sale.
9.
Can the seller pay some of my closing cost?
Homebuyers can negotiate and even ask the seller to cover all closing costs, although every transaction between buyer and seller are different and guidelines vary by loan type. Closing costs are generally 2% to 6% of your purchase price.
Talk with your lender and ask for the max % the seller can contribute to your specific loan type.
10.
Why should I use a buyer’s agent?
A buyer's agent represents the buyer during the home buying process and will help ensure that you get the best possible results.
A Buyer(s)’ Agent will act as a guide to help you find the right property for you, negotiate for a fair price, and smooth out any difficulties in the buying process.
Furthermore, they provide you with a series of fiduciary duties to ensure that your best interests are always protected.
Unfortunately, some uneducated buyers think that going directly to the listing agent gives them a leg up and an automatic discount on the asking price – Wrong!
REMEMBER The listing agent works for the seller.
