What is the difference between a buyer's agent and a seller's agent?

A buyer's agent represents the interests of the buyer in a real estate transaction, while a seller's agent, or listing agent, represents the interests of the seller. It's possible for one agent to represent both parties, but this is known as dual agency. In California, dual agency is allowed.

What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval for a mortgage?

Pre-qualification is an initial evaluation of your creditworthiness, based on information you provide to the lender. It gives you an idea of how much you may be able to borrow. Pre-approval is a more thorough process where the lender verifies your financial information and commits to lending you a specific amount of money.

What is the first step in the home buying process?

After contacting Jordan, the first step is usually getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This helps you understand how much you can afford and shows sellers that you're a serious buyer. See the entire buying process here.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs are the fees and charges due at the close of a real estate transaction. They can include loan origination fees, title insurance, appraisals, and more.

What does it mean when a house is 'staged'?

Staging a home involves arranging furniture and decor to make the home appear more appealing to potential buyers. This can help the home sell more quickly and for a higher price. Staging can be done by the seller or with the help of a professional home stager.

What does "under contract" mean in real estate?

A property is "under contract" when the buyer and seller have agreed on the terms of the sale, but the sale has not yet closed. During this time, the property may still be shown to other potential buyers, but the seller cannot accept any other offers.

What is a contingent offer?

A contingent offer is one where the buyer's offer is dependent on certain conditions being met, such as the sale of their current home, obtaining financing, or a satisfactory home inspection.

How do I know if the property is worth the asking price?

Realtors use a comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine a home's value, comparing the property to similar homes that have recently sold in the area.

What is PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)?

PMI is a type of insurance that lenders may require if you're buying a home with less than 20% down. It protects the lender if you default on your loan. Once you've built up 20% equity in your home (either through payments or home value appreciation), you can typically request to stop paying PMI.

What makes Jordan Mott unique as a realtor?

What is a good interest rate on a mortgage?

Interest rates depends on current market conditions, your credit score, down payment, and the type of loan. Contact Jordan to see what you qualify for and what your estimated interest rate would be.

What is a home inspection, and why is it important?

A home inspection is an assessment of a home's condition, performed by a licensed professional. It's important because it can reveal potential issues that aren't immediately visible, and could affect the home's value and livability.

Can I buy a home with no down payment?

It's possible, but not common. Some types of loans, like VA loans for military veterans, may not require a down payment. However, most conventional loans require a minimum down payment, often between 3% to 20%. Without a down payment, you'll likely need to pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI) until you have sufficient equity in the home.

How does the negotiation process work?

Once you've found a home you want to buy, your realtor will submit an offer to the seller's agent. The seller can accept, reject, or counter the offer. If they counter, you can accept their terms or counter back, until both parties agree on a price and terms. Looking for the best deal? Jordan is an expert negotiator - so whether you're buying or selling, you can rest assured that you're getting the best deal either way.

When is the best time to sell my house?

The best time to sell can depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and your personal situation. However, spring and summer are often cited as good times to sell since families often want to move before the new school year starts.

How long does it take to buy a home?

On average, it takes around 30 to 60 days from when an offer is accepted to closing. However, the timeframe can vary based on various factors such as loan approval and home inspection.

What's the difference between a fixed-rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage?

A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that stays the same for the life of the loan, which makes your monthly payments predictable. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that can change periodically, so your payments could go up or down over time.

What does Jordan's marketing plan involve?

Jordan Mott's marketing plan is comprehensive and innovative. It involves strategic use of digital platforms, high-quality marketing materials, and his extensive network to showcase the best features of each property, thereby attracting potential buyers and achieving optimal sales outcomes.

Can I sell my current home and buy a new one at the same time?

Yes, it's possible, but it requires careful planning and timing. You'll likely need to coordinate the sale of your current home with the purchase of your new one.

Should I get a home warranty?

A home warranty is a service contract that covers the repair or replacement of important home system components and appliances that break down over time. Whether you should get one depends on factors like the age and condition of the home, the coverage of the warranty, and your willingness to deal with repairs or replacements yourself.
