FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER – Charlotte real estate agent – TV SHOW

by

FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER –

Charlotte real estate agent – TV SHOW

Sponsored by National Association of Realtors

First time buyer TV show with REMAX agent Danielle Edwards and her buyer Danaya!

Looking to up your game when it comes to getting into the Charlotte housing market? This real estate “reality” TV show is a must-see and you can watch the series on HULU or YOUTUBE.TV.

The TV SHOW is called – FIRST TIME HOME BUYER produced by the National Association of Realtors.

Featuring Your Charlotte NC Realtor- Danielle Edwards with RE/MAX EXECUTIVE .

“I was asked if I had a great story to share from a recent first time home buyer in the Charlotte, NC area.  I had the perfect buyer in mind!  After both Danaya and I interviewed we were told we were chosen! I can honestly say this is a true story about her journey to buying a home in Charlotte, NC.”  says Danielle Edwards.

Reality Real Estate TV shows are quite popular.  The National Association of Realtors has its own show with actually REALtors and storylines that have been vetted.   The NAR picks hot real estate cities and shows buyers what they can expect on the real estate home search.  Charlotte, NC is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States and quickly making its way to a top 10 place to live, work and play.

No matter what type of market there is a lot to know when it comes to buying or selling a home.  Whether you are a new buyer or seller, or a veteran, having a real estate agent in Charlotte, NC who puts your needs first is crucial.

Buying a home Charlotte

“Just like in all professions not all real estate agents are equal.  I come across Charlotte real estate agents who don’t work weekends(shock), don’t answer their phone, pass you off to an assistant to pretty much do everything.  That is all fine if that is what you want.  But, I am a firm believer that clients are purchasing the MOST IMPORTANT ASSET they will live in they deserve white-glove treatment.”

Realtor Charlotte

TV featuring Danielle, top Charlotte agent.

“Specializing in making your home dreams a reality is what I do.”

Whether it is 50 homes or one home.  I treat all my clients the same.   From first-time buyers to seasoned homeowners I have 16 years of experience to guide you with your home journey.

I have a television background and studied communications at the University of Florida.  If you visit my youtube channel, you will see I use VIDEO frequently to guide my clients through the process.

I was excited when I received a call from a TV producer to be considered for the TV show FIRST-TIME BUYER.  They asked me if I had any great stories about a Charlotte first-time buyer.  They interview my client and me on zoom.  A few short days later– I found out I was chosen.  If you watch this episode you will see Danaya and I become were on a mission.  We faced the complete real estate roller coaster in Charlotte, NC.  From how much to offer in due diligence, appraisal issues, and of course just getting the offer accepted!”

The First -time home buyer series itself if hands down a must-see.  I particularly love Season 2, Episode 2.   It provides a great insight into what working with me will be like as your Charlotte real estate agent– whether you are buying or selling.

Contact me if you are looking for top-notch representation.  My team and I will be there for you.  If you are looking in an area we don’t service I can certainly recommend a Professional real estate agent for you!

TOP 3 Seller Tips – Sell your home Charlotte NC

Top 3 Seller Tips

Charlotte real estate agent Danielle Edwards

 

Top 3 Seller Tips – Sell your Charlotte home – Charlotte NC

Top Three Seller Tips for selling your Charlotte home!  Looking for free advice? Want to make sure you make the right decision?  You have found the right article to read.

Hello! I am Danielle Edwards, Charlotte real estate agent since 2006.  I have seen this area BOOM and worked my tail off and experienced the good, bad, and ugly of this business.

 

What do you need to know before selling your home?

Top 3 seller tips- Sell your Charlotte Home.

Looking to sell your Charlotte home? Here are my top 3 seller tips along with other KEY information you need to know before hiring a Realtor and selling your Charlotte home.  I know there are many real estate agents for you to choose from.  I found that not all Charlotte real estate agents are created equal.  There are part-time agents, full-time agents, stick a sign in the yard, or go-getters like me who strive to exceed what you think a Realtor should be doing.  I love the old saying, “you get what you pay for.”   There are agents that will discount their fee, and for that, you get a discount service.  There are Charlotte real estate agents like myself, who go above and beyond to ensure your home looks its best no matter the market.  Let me tell you a little secret, the prettier homes…. sell for more, sell faster, get stronger offers.. AND in today’s market, those offers are AS-IS and have appraisal waivers.  That means a better experience for you AND more money in your pocket at the closing table.  Which leads to glowing 5-star reviews and really happy clients!  I love happy clients!

Selling your home in a seller’s market is interesting. As a Charlotte real estate agent I am seeing a lot of  Charlotte listings where homeowners/agents might be cutting corners.  I am seeing horrible photos on Charlotte million-dollar listings, lack of details, and just poor representation.

Did you know 91% of buyers decide they want to see a home based on its online appearance?

(source NAR)

As a top Charlotte listing agent in Charlotte, NC – I do not recommend this.  I treat each listing whether it is $300,000 or over a million dollars the same.  If my name is on it, it is going to show its best.  Why? Because I have seen FIRST HAND the results of doing that.  Each time, I break community records and consistently have a record over surpassing the price per sqft or the percent over list price for that area.

Virtual Staging

Top 3 seller tips

 

Staged home vs. Virtually staged home  with professional pictures

 

 

Tip 1 to selling your home

You only get one shot to create the first impression to potential buyers. The better your Charlotte home presents itself the stronger the offers. Think of it as a beauty pageant. When a Charlotte buyer walks into your home their mind is like a cash register checking off all the things they need to do to the home to make it theirs or update it with improvements. Not only are aesthetics taken into account, so are things like the age of your roof, HVAC, windows etc. Your Charlotte listing agent (if it isn’t me) should be advising you at the bare minimum what you need to do to your Charlotte home to get the most return on your investment when it comes time to sell in Charlotte, NC.

You need to be asking questions like what is included with their representation-

  1. Professional Real Estate Staging
  2. Professional Real-estate Photography
  3. Measurements
  4. Admin Fees associated with working with them
  5. Ask for client real estate reviews
  6. Look up their Charlotte MLS listings

Charlotte Listing agent Danielle Edwards- TOP 3 tips selling your home

Of course, there are many other aspects that go into selling your Charlotte home. These to me are the top 3 must-do things that I see Charlotte homeowners skipping on thinking they don’t have to do anything since it is a seller’s market.

Tip 2: Pricing your home with actual comparable sales is also important.

Your listing agent should be preparing a CMA- comparative market analysis using comps and adding/ subtracting value based on updates those homes have.   Pricing a home with a pie-in-the-sky number often lead to longer days on market, and worse low ball offers.

I price my listing three different ways.  From that analysis, I discuss with my seller the return on investment they can expect if we make a few updates to maximize the higher number that the CMA shows.  I am consistently correct, and every time I knock it out of the park.

Tip 3: Know your home and be honest

What’s that saying? Honesty is the best policy.  I work with my clients on creating the most detailed list of everything they have done to a home.  When a buyer sees what you have done and more importantly what you are being HONEST about what is broken it gives them security when making their offer.  If you don’t want to fix outlets or windows, put it on the NC property disclosure which is a mandating form for sellers to provide to Charlotte homebuyers.

How to buy and sell your Charlotte home at the same time

Charlotte is one of the top 5 cities that people are relocating to. While many Charlotte homeowners want to sell, they are faced with the issue of where to go. This is a conversation I have often with homeowners.  I have solutions and answers for that which is also easier to discuss in person – naturally!  However, if you are not ready for that commitment here is a video I did on that!

 

Hiring an experienced seasoned Charlotte listing agent is going to ensure your greatest assets is represented as it should be.

I pride myself on going above and beyond with my Charlotte listings to maximize the return for my Charlotte homeowners.

I invite you to read my reviews to hear for yourself what my Charlotte homeowner clients have to say about their experience working with me to sell their home, buy a home, or do both at the same time!

My Charlotte real estate team is here to help you!  We are a solid group of rockstars that all bring something special to the table. We are proud to be Diamond Award Team with RE/MAX Executive too!

What is DUE DILIGENCE in NORTH CAROLINA?

by

What is DUE DILIGENCE in NORTH CAROLINA Real Estate?

It is 2022 and the real estate game has changed.  Buying a home in NORTH CAROLINA? You will probably hear the term DUE DILIGENCE several times.  The Due Diligence process has changed over time and can differ from state to state. If you have purchased a home in the past or in another state, keep in mind that this process may be different from what you experienced during your last purchase.

This video was filmed before the current seller’s market we are in today.  Examples used in this video do not

portray how much due diligence fees are today.  When deciding how much due diligence money to put down on your home

you should always consult your Realtor. (hopefully that is me)

DUE DILIGENCE 101 or HOW TO UNDERSTAND DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD – REAL ESTATE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

BY DANIELLE EDWARDS

Check out my new video/blog

How to buy a home in Charlotte NC 2022

Due Diligence FAQ

The DUE DILIGENCE Process was created to benefit the buyer and the seller.

How does The Due Diligence Process help the seller?

Before the seller of a home officially takes it off the market, they will receive a certain amount of money, upfront from the buyer. If the buyer follows through with the home purchase through closing, the seller will then credit the buyer the due diligence money at closing time.

How does The Due Diligence Process help the buyer?

The buyer uses due diligence as a way to show their good faith that they are very serious about purchasing a home from the sellers.  The buyer knows if they back out for ANY REASON before 5 pm at the end of the closing period, they will lose their due diligence fee and money spent on inspections & appraisal.

What is a normal due diligence amount for buying a home in North Carolina?

Great question!! This amount has changed drastically in the past two years.  Given the competitive market in Charlotte and lack of inventory, we are now seeing the due diligence amount being more than the earnest money amount. Simple answer: It could range $250-$10,000 depending on the price of the home.

Here are some recent Due Diligence amounts on homes I have closed in Charlotte, NC:

  • $369,000 home = $1500 due diligence    >>>  2021 real example >>>  $10,000 due diligence
  • $301000 home =  $3000 due diligence >>> 2022 real example >>>> $10,000
  • $505000 home = $2000 due diligence>>>> 2022 real example >>>>$18,000

The amount varies based on many other factors of your offer to purchase a home in North Carolina.

This amount is always negotiated between the buyers, sellers, and corresponding agents.  You might offer $800, and the seller may come back and say $1,500.  When in a multiple offer situation, the  Due Diligence amount is sometimes even more important to the seller than who has made the higher offer!  If it is between you and another buyer, the seller will want to close the deal with the buyer who seems the most serious and the most financially able to purchase their home.

When do you pay the due diligence money to the seller?

Within 5 days of executed contract.  This is normally done within 24 hours, but there is a 5 day period if the buyer’s agent checks the 5-day amount on the offer to purchase contract.

How long is the due diligence period when buying a home in North Carolina?

This is a negotiated period.  The shorter the period, the better the offer to the sellers.

I would say 2.5-4 weeks is typical for a due diligence period in North Carolina, NC.

Your offer might say 4 weeks, the seller may come back and ask for 3 weeks instead.

What is earnest money when buying a home in North Carolina?

Earnest money is typically 1% of the contract price.  Again, negotiated.

The buyer will give their agent an earnest money check once the buyer’s offer is accepted. This is normally made out to REMAX EXECUTIVE(for example).  The check is deposited for escrow at closing.  The buyer’s agent will refund the earnest money within 2-5 business days if the buyer were to back out during the due diligence period for any reason. If for some reason there is a discrepancy with releasing the earnest money, then you will have to go to mediation.  (I have never had that happen).  However,  at 5:01 pm on the date the due diligence period ends that earnest money is no longer refundable.  It will stay in escrow for you and be a credit to you at closing.

Some agents will show a copy of both checks when presenting the offer.  Always make sure your account information is covered.  This shows good faith. About 60% of the time, this is how the process goes.  There are times a buyer will not have checks on them and the checks are presented after their offer is accepted.  It can be a personal check or a certified check.  Certified is typically preferred, but not necessary.

DO YOU HAVE A BUYER’S AGENT?

If you are looking for a buyer’s agent in the Charlotte area I would be honored to work with you.  There are also two other Realtors on my team to help assist you if you are looking in an area that I am not an expert in.  It is very important to choose an agent who works in the trenches in the area you are looking in.  I can also help refer you an agent in North or South Carolina with my network of fantastic agents I have worked with.  I am licensed in NC/SC and cover parts of the Fort Mill/Lake Wylie area.

CHARLOTTE Realtor®

As your trusted Charlotte Realtor, I am here to advise on what improvements are most beneficial for your Charlotte home.  Plus, with my trusted network of professionals, I can recommend vendors to do the job!

How are you keeping up with your home value?

This year I invested in the lasted in real estate software for my clients and you!  It is called HOMEBOT.  It works like other algorithms, but the difference is that it connects to your personal equity/payoff and advises you on everything from refinancing to investing.  My data-loving clients are LOVING THIS!  The best part is you can add all your properties into one portal and receive a monthly update on your home.

Granted, this is software and not an exact science.  But, it is a wonderful tool and will get you off those third-party sites that are not as accurate.  You can also click ONE button to request a ‘real value’ report to be done where we can update that value so moving forward it is more accurate.
