Adding a deck or patio: Outdoor living spaces are popular and can add value to your home. Energy-efficient upgrades: Installing energy-efficient windows, insulation, and HVAC systems can save homeowners money on their energy bills and make the home more attractive to buyers. Landscaping: Well-maintained landscaping can improve the curb appeal of your home and increase its value.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the first step to buying a home?

Unless you plan on paying cash, your first step will be to get pre-approved for a home loan. Once you get pre-approved, you will know with more accuracy the price of the home you can afford.

What is earnest money?

Earnest money shows a home seller that you're committed to buying. It's considered good faith money and usually one percent of the purchase price of the home. 

What are closing costs? 

Closing costs are the fees and charges in addition to the purchase price of the property due on the day of closing. Both buyers and sellers may be subject to various closing costs.

How do I get my home ready to sell? 

You'll want to declutter and depersonalize your home before listing it. The goal when selling is to have a buyer fall in love with your house, picturing themselves living there and imaging their belongings inside.
