BUYING

• Buyers

There is no doubt that the Internet has changed the way homes are bought and sold today. With well over 90% of home buyers starting their real estate search online, it’s critical that YOUR REALTOR understands the power of the internet.

• Personalized Home Search

Let Us Help You Find Your Dream Home.

Any good real estate agent should have a nose for recognizing a solid buyer and will be able to glean out the serious buyers from those who are simply looking. Taking your home off the market when you cannot get to the closing table is not only inconvenient, but can cost you time and money. Buddy and his team know the right questions to ask and the right documentation to require.

• Brand New Homes

Beautiful NEW HOMES designed and built by some of the finest local home builders in the area. These new homes are exclusively marketed by The Buddy Blake Team of RE/MAX Essential.

• Mortgage Pre-approval

One of the first steps in the home buying process is to consult with a mortgage lender about your financing options.When you know what you can afford, you can focus your home search and make your move more quickly when you find the property you want.

SELLING

For decades, wealthy homeowners have been selling homes the right way. Think about it for a minute… if you’re selling a 10 million dollar home, a 1% increase in the sales price equals an extra $100,000!

Affluent sellers do what it takes to get top dollar for their homes. Normal sellers don’t seem to take selling as seriously (I have no clue why?) and normally don’t do what is necessary to get top dollar. If you use the right home selling strategies you can make at least 10-30k more when selling a $200,000 home.

• Free Market Analysis

Would you like to know your home's estimated Price Range? The below tool will allow you to enter your home's address and it will create an online price range estimate immediately. Of course, online pricing tools like this and Zillow's "Zestimates" are simply an estimate based on publicly available analytics and NOT on the actual sales data that REALTORS© use to create a Maximum Price Opinion ("MPO"), Comparative Market Analysis ("CMA") or what Certified Appraisers use to create certified appraisals.

• Pricing Your Home

Pricing your home is both an art and a science. Achieving the optimal price is the result of both objective research into comparable properties and a gut feeling about your property and the current market.

• Marketing Your Home

Your home is immediately listed on the Multiple Listing Service which updates a daily catalog of homes for sale through its member brokers and an on-line computer network, available to its members, with photos and descriptions of all listed properties. We personally submit a photo and the descriptive elements of your home to ensure that you have the best possible representation on the MLS.

NEW HOMES

Beautiful New Home Custom Crafted by the area's finest local home builders and exclusively market with the Buddy Blake Team at RE/MAX Essential.

New homes come with features that are necessary for today's lifestyle, unlike foreclosures where you are dealing with old technology. In fact most new homes consume less power because the fixtures are designed to higher standards. You will spend less on a remodel, but when you consider what you will get in terms of updated features you may want to wait until you save enough for a new home.

HOME FINANCING

For most areas in North Carolina, the amount that your newly purchased home gets assessed at (how much you will be taxed on) will be the sales price of the property as it gets filed with clerk of court. In addition to that you can put in a claim for an investment tax credit based on how much you have spent on renovating the home. Needless to say, everyone's tax situation is unique and we recommend referring to a qualified tax consultant for details.

In many instances, the unique financing needed for purchasing a home that is in need of repair can make the money you will need upfront higher for a foreclosure property. New homes, although easier to get into, will generally cost you more in your monthly mortgage payments and insurance.
