Hey everyone, thanks again for taking the time to check out my blog. I recently got an email from a client who had been hearing rumors and asked me, "Is now a good time to sell? Or should I look at renting my home out?"The short answer is that now is absolutely a great time to sell. We still have low interest rates that are exciting for buyers, and very low inventory (2.5 months) which is creating bidding wars for many of the seller's homes out there on the market. In the near future, I predict rates as well as inventory to slowly rise. This will cause a decrease in prices. They always say sell at the top and buy at the bottom, so here's my advice: Sell today because we're at the top. If you have any questions for me, you can always give me a call or send me an email. Talk to you soon!

Recently, I had a discussion with a client about the differences between a Realtor and a real estate agent or broker. There is an important distinction between the two, and I thought now would be a great time to give you all an explanation on the topic, so you know for future reference. The truth is, all Realtors are either real estate agents or brokers, but not all brokers or agents are Realtors. Every person who wants to get a real estate license needs to complete a certain number of hours and take certain tests in order to have the designation of a licensee. When you pass the test, there are certain requirements that you, as an agent or broker, need to fulfill. As a real estate agent or broker, you are required to: Put your clients' interests above anyone else's Keep your clients' information confidentialObey the clients' lawful instructionsReport any useful knowledge or info to the clientAccount to the client for any money involvedRealtors are held to an even higher standard, through membership with the National Association of Realtors and respect their code of conduct. Anyone who decides to become a Realtor also decides to take their clients' experience to the next level.   When you go to hire someone to buy and sell your home, it's important that you choose someone who is the most dedicated to your success, and that will always be a Realtor. The great thing about our team is that all of our agents are licensed Realtors, who are dedicated to your success as much as you are. If you have any questions for us, we'd be glad to answer them. Just give us a call or send us an email, and we'll be in touch!

Everybody knows someone who really likes to show off their personality through their home. Flashy furniture, art, and decor can give a home a really unique feel. However, if you are trying to sell your home, your personality may be the exact thing that is preventing the sale.  Here are 5 quick tips to help you neutralize your home and make it more attractive to buyers: 1. Remove personal items  Take down family photos, heirlooms, diplomas, and other personal items- buyers don't want to feel like they are in somebody else's home, they want to see themselves and their family in the space. 2. Repaint  You need to repaint any rooms that have too much personality or bold colors. Having rooms painted in bright, neutral colors makes it more appealing and warm to potential buyers. 3. Show rooms how they are supposed to be used  If your home office is your dining room, or your garage is your bedroom, you need to fix that. It may work for you and your lifestyle, but will certainly scare buyers away. 4. Clean windows and blinds You wouldn't believe how much it helps your home to be bright, airy, and beautiful for buyers. 5. Detach yourself emotionally  When you decide to sell, your home is no longer your home, it's an investment, and needs to be viewed as such. Being overly emotional during the selling process could inhibit the sale and could cost you thousands. There you have it, our advice to help get your home sold faster and for more money.

We are in a very healthy real estate market right now in Fresno. Whether you are looking to buy or sell a home, this market is right for it. Now, there are many factors that go into that. For example, our current inventory of homes for sale in Fresno is right around 2000. At our current rate, we are selling between 450-500 homes a month. However, homes are coming onto the market at a much faster pace. Our current rate of homes coming on to the market is around 550 per month.  With our incoming inventory outpacing our sold homes each month, our days as a seller's market are numbered. Right now is a great time to sell because at 4.5 months of inventory, we are still below the threshold of 6 months that classify this as a seller's market.  For buyers, immediacy is also key. Interest rates continue to remain at historic lows, but are expected to rise in the next year. Securing a loan at these current low rates will save you thousands over the life of your loan. The more the rate goes up, the less you will be able to afford.  Waiting too long to buy or sell could hurt you. Supply is exceeding demand right now, and when it catches up, it's going to be much tougher to sell. Waiting to buy could also have dire consequences, in the form of higher interest rates. If you have any questions about the Fresno market, or about real estate in general, please give us a call or send us an email. We'd love to discuss your options with you!
