Searching for Homes
While West Covina offers numerous appealing homes online, it’s crucial to determine your affordability first by consulting with a loan officer, who can guide you through the prequalification process. Once you’ve established your budget, you can confidently search for homes, and remember, the properties you find online may differ from your final choice. We encourage saving preferred properties as they will help your real estate agent understand your preferences, and we have a dedicated app for this.
How to buy a home?
Ready to start touring homes in West Covina? That’s fantastic! The first thing you’ll want to do is talk with a loan officer. Sellers will take you more seriously if you are pre-approved for a loan. Pre-approval is proof that you can afford the house and it will help narrow down your house hunting options.
You will need to start working with a real estate agent who has experience in the West Covina real estate market. Be sure to show them all the homes you’ve saved. This will help when deciding on the properties you actually want to consider. Touring homes is very time consuming. In fact, it will likely take a couple days and most real estate agents will not recommend viewing more than six homes in one day.
Once you’ve visited your top picks, you and your agent will discuss an offer to present the seller and await a response. If your offer is accepted you and the seller will complete each of the steps outlined in the agreed-upon offer. Often this includes any repairs or inspections that need to be done and paid for as stated in the agreement. The process will differ case by case, but your real estate agent will be trained to handle all situations and they are there to guide you in the decision making process.
How to sell your home?
Selling your home can be stressful but with the right team it shouldn’t be. As a homeowner looking to sell, the first thing you should do is research active and recently closed listings in your West Covina neighborhood. One of the most common problems sellers face is unrealistic expectations in pricing. Doing this quick research can give you a rough range of possible home sale prices. Note that we said ‘possible’ home prices. Next, you should think ‘What does this home have that mine does not?’ and ‘What doesn’t this home have?’. This simple search for West Covina real estate on our website or app will help set correct expectations when you start working with a real estate agent, which is your next step.
A local real estate agent will have the knowledge to sell your home with proper marketing and pricing strategies. An excellent real estate agent is someone who is trained to follow market conditions and best marketing practices, like home staging and aerial photography. Therefore, we recommend you ask your real estate agent to explain their strategy for selling your home in West Covina before you start working with them.
After your home is listed you will start to receive offers. If you’re working with a real estate agent, and you probably should be, then they will notify you of every offer received and together you will plan how to respond. Do not be discouraged by lowball offers early in the listing process. Alright, we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves. It’s time to begin your search for comparable homes online. We just ask that you remember us when it comes time to search for a real estate agent.
