Understanding the local market trends, property taxes, and the average cost of homes in different areas of Virginia is crucial. The market can vary significantly from urban areas like Virginia Beach to more rural settings.

I conduct a comprehensive market analysis, considering recent sales, current market trends, and unique features of your property to determine an accurate and competitive listing price.

In addition to agent fees, you may encounter closing costs, potential repairs, and staging expenses. We provide a transparent breakdown of expected costs during our consultation.

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.

Earnest money is a deposit made with the offer to demonstrate serious intent. The amount varies but is typically 1-3% of the home's purchase price, applied towards the down payment at closing.

While a higher credit score is good to have, it's still possible to secure a mortgage with a lower score. We can connect you with lenders who specialize in working with a range of credit profiles.

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.
