NEW AJ Team Values - Home Sellers & Buyers Seeing Multiple Offers on DC, MD & NOVA Homes! Sent Friday, May 18, 2012 888-NOVA-BUY Seller Tip of the Week! Select Your Agent Wisely. Quoting the highest list price doesn't mean the agent is the best pick to sell your home.

Be Flexible with Contingencies and Pricing: If you already own a home and you need to sell it to buy a new one, sell it.

NEW AJ Team Foreclosures - Home Prices Expected to Rebound This Year Sent Friday, May 11, 2012 888-NOVA-BUY Foreclosure Tip of the Week! See the house for yourself.

A trusted partner, real estate agent and/or home inspector may help by giving a written report and pictures, but nothing beats viewing the property yourself. To schedule an appointment with our Buyer's Manager Call […]

AJ Team NEW Listings - Low-Ball Offers a Thing of the Past in NOVA? Sent Friday, May 4, 2012 888-NOVA-BUY Buyer Tip of the Week! With low inventory and multiple offers the norm, home buyers need to make their offer stand out. On the flip side, sellers are worried that once they commit to an offer, the winning buyers might back out of the transaction. By increasing your earnest money deposit, which is part of your down payment above normal limits, you are showing the seller you are serious about closing. You're only offering the seller more money a little […]
NEW AJ Team Foreclosures - Low-Ball Offers a Thing of the Past in NOVA? Sent Friday, May 4, 2012 888-NOVA-BUY Foreclosure Tip of the Week! Find out if your home inspector provides cost estimates for any needed repairs. Many experts suggest using the house's condition as negotiation leverage. Watch out, however, for homes needing expensive repairs that, when the estimated costs are added to the mortgage balance and down payment, the total is more than the appraisal value for the house after its repaired. To schedule an appointment with our Buyer's […]
