Episode 22: Real Estate Revealed with FAQs

Your Real Estate Questions — Answered!

Buying or selling a home can be full of questions — and in Episode 22 of Real Estate Tips with S&L, we decided to tackle some of the most frequently asked questions we get from clients. From pricing and negotiations to what to look for during inspections, we covered it all in this jam-packed FAQ session.

Here are the key takeaways:

1. How Do I Price My Home Right?

The biggest question for sellers is often about pricing. We discussed how market trends, property condition, and comparable sales all play a role in determining the best listing price. It’s a balance of being competitive but also realistic to attract the right buyers.

2. What Should I Look for During an Inspection?

Home inspections are key to the buying process. We broke down some of the major red flags to look out for, like structural issues, water damage, or outdated systems. Knowing what’s important can save you time, money, and a lot of stress.

3. How Much Should I Offer?

Whether you’re buying or selling, pricing strategy is essential. We explained how offering below or above the asking price should depend on your market conditions and the property’s value. We also highlighted the importance of understanding your budget and long-term goals.

4. How Do I Prepare My Home for Showings?

First impressions matter! We shared some tips for sellers on how to declutter, stage, and even spruce up curb appeal to make the property shine when it’s time for showings. Little changes can make a big difference in attracting buyers.

5. What Can I Do if My Offer is Rejected?

Rejection can be tough, but it doesn’t mean the deal is over. We went over strategies for staying patient, making counteroffers, and staying flexible to ultimately land the right deal for you.

The Bottom Line:

There’s no such thing as a silly question when it comes to real estate! By staying informed and asking the right questions, you can make smarter decisions that lead to smoother transactions. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, knowing the answers can save you time, money, and a lot of stress.
