How to sell your home in Charlotte

A guide to getting your home sold fast

So, you want to sell your Charlotte home. There are so many different routes to take when preparing for the home-selling process, as a result, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Do you sell your home all by yourself? Do you hire a discount firm to help? Or do you go with a full-time real estate expert and professional?

I’ve been a Realtor for 14 years, and I have certainly learned the pros and cons of all of the above options, as well as the definite do’s and don’ts. In fact, I have a recent seller experience that I would like to share, as I think it would be useful if you plan to sell your Charlotte home in the near future.

How to sell your home in Charlotte

 Real seller experience

I recently had clients with a home they wanted to list in Wilshire, a community in South Charlotte. Homes in Wilshire typically stay on the market for an average of 23 days, which is relatively quick; however, some sell quicker, and others can lag for months. There’s a simple reason as to why some of these homes take so much longer to sell.

House hunting today is like watching HGTV. You know the episode: a couple walks through a beautifully but minimally decorated home with just the right amount of perfectly placed furniture. There’s just enough furniture and decor to make the space attractive, but it’s minimal enough that you can image your own furniture and decor in the space. I’m not saying your home has to be perfectly renovated and decorated in order to sell your home, but data shows that move-in ready homes sell in days, and most of the time, over listing price. When sellers put in minimal effort and sell their home as-is, their homes tend to sit on the market for longer.

My clients wanted to sell their home at 7219 Fortrose Lane. Great home, and great sub $400,000 price point; however, a young toddler lived in the home and therefore, it didn’t show itself as move-in ready. When I met with my sellers, I went over my game plan and thankfully they trusted me. The result? it worked! Our plan-of-action was as follows:

1. Technicals: A 25 year old home will likely have some issues. I always recommend getting the entire HVAC system checked before listing. My sellers in Wilshire needed a new furnace. It was leaking carbon dioxide into the flue. I advised them that they were better off spending the $2,900 to replace it, and then use it as a marketing tool by highlighting the new feature. We were also able to build the $2,900 into the asking price. Had we not replaced the furnace, we ran the risk of having to deal with the issue while under contract, slowing down the closing process, and having to fix the issue for the buyers.

2. Paint: Several of the rooms at 7219 Fortrose Lane were painted an outdated yellow color. We strategically painted these rooms to give them a fresh look. The sellers decided to put in some “elbow grease” and painted these rooms themselves, saving hundreds. In total, painting the home costed about $600.

3. Storage: I recommended that my sellers put everything that they didn’t need during their selling process into Smart Boxes. By minimizing the amount of clutter, they were able to make the home feel much bigger and less cramped. Not to mention, decluttering beforehand makes moving 10 times easier and more efficient once your house is sold. For my sellers, Smart Boxes costed about $350.

4. Light Fixtures: Light fixtures make a huge difference in giving your home an easy face lift. We replaced the kitchen fixture for $99 and and spray painted an old brass fixture for the dining room. We also got a new lock and handle for the front door for $50.

5. Pressure wash: My sellers did this themselves. They cleaned the driveway and sidewalk area, which is the first thing that potential buyers see when they pull up to your home.

6. Staging: Not all homes need this. There are 3 different types of staging:
6a.) Vacant staging: The home is empty, so stagers bring in furniture to fill the entire home
6b.)Partial staging: Stagers use some of the seller’s furniture, but bring in more to supplement
6c.) Virtual staging: Home stays vacant and computer generated photos are used to create online appeal

We decided to stage the main floor and master bathroom. I staged the other bedroom with items in my own collection. I told my clients the $1700 investment would come back to them, and guess what? It did! This home sold on DAY ONE. We used Stage It Charlotte.

7. Clean: This goes without saying. It’s absolutely essential to clean your home before putting it on the market. We had this home cleaned by a professional. House cleaning costs varies, but you can expect to pay close to $300 an hour.

8. Floors: The hardwoods in the Wilshire home were showing their mature 25 year old age. My sellers spent $2,600 to refinish the floors and it made a BIG impact. At this point, 40% of their items were in storage pods and the rest was in the garage. The sellers went on a fun 4-day stay at a friend’s house and bit the bullet to get this done. Over the years, I’ve had lots of sellers promise to refinish floors at closing, but for buyers, seeing is believing. Refinishing the floors was a game changer for a first impression.

9. Flowers: My sellers planed bright pansies on the exterior of the home and I bought some pretty flowers to place in the kitchen. It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s tiny details like this that make a home seem more charming and inviting.

When it comes to being market ready, each home is unique in what it needs. I have a proven record of preparing homes to sell for top dollar and fast. Let’s be honest, nobody likes keeping a house clean 24/7.

Each home is unique it what it needs to be market ready. I have a proven record of preparing my sellers homes that gets them top dollar for their homes. NO ONE I can think of likes keeping their home clean 24/7. Especially, if you have pets and children. The hard work you put into your home UPFRONT will mean less hassle and a stronger buyer pool to choose from when you receive an offer(s).

Charlotte Real Estate Market in 2020

Buying or selling? Here’s how the Charlotte Real Estate market may affect you

Perhaps the number one question Realtors get is “how is the Charlotte real estate market ?” Followed by: “when is the best time to sell or buy?” Whether you are looking to buy a new home or sell your current home this year, the best place to start is by diving into as much information as you can get your hands on, so you can create an effective game plan for your journey. Let’s start by discussing the state of the Charlotte real estate market in 2020.

Charlotte, NC ranked 2nd fastest-growing city

According to the Charlotte Observer, everyone from big business owners to small families around the country have their eye on Charlotte as a possible relocation destination. Our little southern banking town isn’t so little anymore, and it’s certainly not just a banking hub these days. The north side of South Boulevard was merely warehouses and old mills over a decade ago; but now, it’s a bustling metropolitan hot spot full of activity. If you were seeing it for the first time in 10 years, you wouldn’t recognize it at all.

Charlotte Real Estate statistics

According to the MLS, 2019 ended with a flurry of housing activity. From December 2018 to December 2019, home sales grew by 17.2%.  During the year of 2019, 50,854 properties sold in the Charlotte region, which was a 5.9% increase from 2018.

The Canopy Realtor® Association provides monthly reports on residential real estate market activity for the Charlotte region based on data from Canopy MLS. The Charlotte region, which this report is based on, includes 12 counties in North Carolina and four counties in South Carolina.

Demand still increasing

Pending sales, which continue to show tremendous demand from buyers, increased by 8.9% from 2018 to 2019. December figures showed demand soared upwards by 22.3% compared to last December as buyers continue to seek homes across the region.

Still a “seller’s market”

Prices continued to respond to strong seller’s market conditions, with the average list price in 2019 ($333,290) rising 4.6% over 2018’s average list price. The original list price to sales price measure for the year was 96.7%. The average sales price in 2019 rose 5.9 % compared to 2018 to $303,722, while the median sales price, a better measure of prices over time, rose 7.1% to $255,000.

/

 

Inventory steadily decreasing

“Despite the slower activity during the first half of 2019, it’s truly turned out to be a record-breaking year of sales,” said 2020 Association/Canopy MLS president John Kindbom. “With sales in 2019 up nearly six percent over 2018, and with the phenomenal activity we saw during the month of December, it looks like the spring market has started early.” John Kindbom 2020 MLS President.

The new listing activity has been challenged for some time now, with offers being placed almost as soon as a listing is published. Listing activity for all of 2019 was essentially unchanged compared to 2018, rising 1.7% with 61,069 total new listings at year’s end. This will continue to impact inventory, which declined 23.9% in December and left the Charlotte region with 7,416 properties for sale at report time, or 1.7 months of supply. A year ago, in December 2018 the region had 9,747 properties for sale, or 2.4 months of supply.

Days on the market: holding steady

For all of 2019, the average number of days a property was on the market from the time it was listed until it closed (list to close) was 93 days, which is unchanged compared to December 2018. Days on Market, the metric that accrues for “Active” and “Under Contract-Show” statuses, averaged 43 days in 2019.

This excerpt was from Canopy Realtor® Association, which is a trade association that provides its more than 12,200 Realtor® members with the resources and services they need to conduct ethical, professional, successful and profitable businesses. The Association is dedicated to being the region’s primary resource for residential real estate information. The Association operates Canopy MLS, which has more than 17,800 subscribers and is the private cooperative Realtors® use for access to tens of thousands of residential listings in a 24-county service area, including Charlotte, the mountains area of North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond.

Realtor Danielle Edwards: Thoughts on the market

This time last year was really slow for many Charlotte Realtors. This year proves to be different as just one week into the new year, I have one listing and 3 pending buyer transactions.  I would say 2020 is off to a great start.  Interest rates are at a great place for buyers and many sellers are taking advantage of that to sell and relocate.  In the Charlotte real estate market we see a lot of homeowners downsizing into senior living, townhomes, or opting to move to the mountains or beach.

Buying vs. Selling in Charlotte

A realtor most often wears two hats, listing agent and buyers agent. Here is a link to the working agents brochure if you want to familiarize yourself with how that works.

Why do I need a buyers agent?

Excellent question! Did you know that buyers’ agency wasn’t created until the 1980s? Prior to that, all agents represented the seller.  I can’t imagine!  Here are a few quick reasons you need a buyers agent:

  1. They are experts in the home buying process and guide you through each step
  2. Good agents can point out the negatives or any potential red flags in a home for resale
  3. They are highly knowledgeable on what’s legal and what’s not
  4. They negotiate repairs by leveraging their contacts when needed to provide “expert advice” on certain issues
  5. A good agent has your back while you’re busy. They’ll be hard at work problem solving and getting all documents lined up for you when your day-to-day life needs your attention
  6. They have YEARS and hundreds of hours of training behind them to handle the craziness of unexpected scenarios you have no idea exist.
  7. They are paid by the seller. Yep, buyers agents are at NO cost to you!

Why do I need a listing agent?

With a slew of online firms entering a market, it stands to reason that a seller will want to check out their options when it comes to listing their home. I think it comes down to one word. Service.  Do you want a one-size-fits-all approach to selling your home? Or do you want to try to sell your home for top dollar and leverage your property?  It amazes me how often small upgrades can truly change the appeal of a home. Do you want to do all the work? Or do you want someone to do it for you? It’s as simple as that.

There are so many factors to consider.  If you are considering interviewing Realtors, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss the role of a Realtor and what sets me apart.  Visit Soldondanielle.com for video testimonials from my clients.

Wire fraud in real estate

Wire Fraud in Real Estate

What to know when buying a home

Imagine spending months trying to buy a home, and finally purchasing the perfect one only to find out at the closing table your funds never made it, they are gone– that they vanished due to wire fraud. Imagine selling your home only to find out a wire fraud hacker created a fictitious email and contacted the attorney to redirect your proceeds to their account instead of yours?  It happens, a lot.

Wire Fraud: What is it?

Wire fraud is when someone obtains money based on false representation or promises. As con-artists become more sophisticated and tech-savvy, parties involved in real estate closings are regularly being targeted with wire fraud scams. These parties include buyers, sellers, realtors, and closing attorneys.

How is it done?

Most recently, the scams have focused on hacking into e-mail accounts of the parties involved in the transaction. Con-artists can gain unauthorized access to third-party e-mail accounts when just one party involved in the transaction fails to utilize e-mail encryption software. The frauds break into either the Realtor’s or the client’s email and secretly follow what is going on.

Assume that the buyer, buyer’s Realtor, seller’s Realtor, buyer’s attorney, and the seller’s attorney are all involved in an e-mail chain concerning the particulars of the closing. These emails would likely include sensitive information, such as wiring information, closing figures depicted on the settlement statement, and names/contact information. Now assume that just one of the parties involved in this e-mail chain failed to use encryption software. With the assistance of readily available computer software, a con-artist can easily intercept the entire chain of emails from any individual who replies to or forwards an email without using encryption software. Now, the criminals have everything they need to engage in wire fraud.

How do I avoid it?

Criminals are posing as attorneys with a similar email address to send fake wire instructions to clients. Therefore, the safest practice is to go to the closing attorney’s office in person and pick up your wire instructions. Sometimes, the fraud will pose as the attorney and contact the sellers to ask where they’d like their proceeds sent, and intercept them.  In both cases, the money is wired to a bank account that belongs to the fraud. At this point, the funds are usually beyond reach of the correct banks or the FBI, well before the scam is even discovered.

Sellers should always bring a voided check to closing.  Sellers should also verify when the wire is being sent and if it was received.

If you are involved in a real estate purchase, you should take steps to ensure that you don’t become a victim of wire fraud by verifying that you and the professionals representing you are using encrypted email software.  If you receive anything fishy or out of sorts do not email back.  Call the correct number your Realtor should have, or that is on letterhead to verify.

What if it happens to me?

Many individuals and law firms have fallen victim to these scams, which have resulted in the victims going bankrupt and law firms and real estate companies going out of business. If you are an attorney, Realtor or other professional involved in the real estate closing, and one of these scams succeeds due to your failure to utilize encrypted email, you can expect for the victim to look to you for reimbursement.

What does wire fraud look like?

These scammers are getting very good at scamming to gather your information with texts, phone calls and emails.  Remember, rarely will a company call and ask for your social or credit card over the phone.  You are better off hanging up and calling back the main number that is correct. Be wary of Google.  They might take a phone number for GODADDY and change one digit in their phone number.  So, the person who quickly glances to ensure it is correct will be mistaken.

What does fraud look  like?  It comes in many different forms. Have you received one of these texts or emails?

Stay safe out there! If you ever have any questions or concerns involving the real estate process, contact me! I am always here to help.

Sold fast! Stonehaven home with basement

by

Sold fast! Stonehaven home with basement

Together with the sellers, I worked hard to prep 6016 Bismark Place for the market. As a result, this renovated home with a basement in Stonehaven sold fast for $495,000. It was only on the market for one day and had multiple offers, so I thought I’d share what we did to sell this home.

The owners spent over $200,000 making this house a home for its next owners, and it sold in the blink of an eye. In this blog post, i’m going to list the factors that made this sell successful!

6016 Bismark Place, Charlotte NC 28211-4317

Newly Renovated Home With Basement

First of all, this home was newly renovated with a basement. It was also in the highly sought-after Charlotte neighborhood of Stonehaven. Moreover, the beautiful fenced-in back yard and back lower patio with back upper-deck made this home even more attractive to buyers with pets or kids.  Lastly, the neighborhood amenities near this home made it impossible to overlook. For example, the neighborhood has multiple swim clubs, parks, seasonal festivals and more were just more icing on the cake. Keep reading for even more information on how we were able to sell this home so quickly.

Walk through Tour Video- Click here(no sound)

Newly Renovated

The previous owners spent almost $230,000 upgrading this house, and it was far from just another aesthetic makeover. The layout was originally outdated, so walls came down to create an open concept living space. Also, staircases were rebuilt and rooms were added to create a modern touch that makes this home live up to today’s standards.

Exterior

The yard originally had drainage issues, therefore, it was raised to become a usable flat with no issues whatsoever, which made this the perfect house for outdoor entertaining. Also, lower basement level extends onto outdoor patio, which has added surround sound. Lastly, the sellers added gutter guards and a water line in the garage for a fridge, if desired.

Interior

These days laundry rooms are a huge selling point, therefore, the laundry and utility room were completely reconfigured and sure to impress. In addition, this home’s sellers added plantation shutters, soft-close drawers and 5 Star top-of-the-line appliances. Moreover, they added solid-core doors, a telescope TV mount, custom mantle to hide cords, arched entires, USB outlets, hidden storage, wainscotting, and custom built-ins shelves.

The sellers made a ton of high quality renovations such as adding quartz countertops, marble backsplash, a giant island that’s perfect for gathering and entertaining, high-end cabinets and soft-closed drawers; as a result, each potential buyer saw the kitchen as a huge value add.

In addition to the laundry, kitchen, and layout upgrades, there are so many extra perks when it comes to this home. For instance, the stand-alone fireplace is hand-painted and full of character, with added gas inserts. In addition, you can turn the nursery into an office, studio or 5th bedroom if needed. As a result, the pros to buying this home far outweighed any potential cons.

Photos

About the area

Stonehaven is just a stone’s throw away from some of Charlotte’s hottest neighborhoods such as Southpark, Foxcroft, and Meyers Park; therefore, this home was quick to sell!

Although the neighborhood of Stonehaven is just a few miles from Uptown Charlotte, it’s full of suburban southern charm. For example, you’ll get to enjoy a 4th of July parade in the summer, weekly social events, and a fall festival! The neighborhood is home to 2 swim & racquet clubs, in addition to multiple parks and greenways. In conclusion, because of the community charm, great location, and beautiful neighborhood, the community was a huge selling point for this home!

Where do we begin? New Pella brand windows and doors bring in natural light and an airy feel. New gutters will save you so much time and elbow grease in the future. Save money on utilities AND enjoy the convenience of the brand new Nest thermostat. Rest assured knowing you won’t have to replace the HVAC any time soon, as the sellers have just installed a top of the line Lennox HVAC system AND a new duct system. Crown molding throughout the home adds timeless charm while the renovated front exterior with Pennsylvania bluestone contributes to the curb appeal of your new home. The updated kitchen will make you swoon. Love to cook? You’ll REALLY love the gas cooktop!

That’s just the beginning! You also get remodeled bathrooms, an oversized 2-car garage with a separate workshop or storage room (already wired for your TV– think, MAN CAVE!) You’ll have ample storage above the garage with the pull-down attic.

Perfect for outdoor-lovers

The yard is a PERFECT size, complete with a quaint patio area for entertaining guests. Just think of all the memories there are to be made! Spend evenings going on a stroll down the walking path to Little Sugar Creek Greenway. There are plenty of hiking and bike trails that connect to Park Road Park.  Home plus warranty included!

About the area

What’s so perfect about Montclaire? This established area has historic Charlotte charm, with today’s turnover curb appeal. Montclaire is a highly sought-after neighborhood that’s just minutes to the light rail and Southpark Mall. Just a short drive to uptown Charlotte, but far enough away to enjoy peace, quiet, and minimal traffic! Great school zone! Close to Park Road Park, Freedom Park, and Little Sugar Creek Greenway. You’ll be surrounded by older but updated homes and beautiful,  mature oak trees creating a canopy over the quiet roads of your commute.
