Here are what some of our happy homeowners have to say about Duffy Realty’s Buyer Agent Team:

“Eden was unbelievable. She’s a straight-shooter. When you need a “Yes” or a “No,” she gives you a “Yes” or a “No.” When you need to have a long, thoughtful conversation and ask a lot of questions, she shares her expertise, she is patient, and she explains things in a way that can be understood. Throughout our experience with Eden, her responsiveness was better than I could have ever hoped for. I think it took her more than 24 hours to get back to me once, and most of the time it is within a few hours. Eden has a strong team supporting her and her preferred lender, Paul Hart, was great, too. She helped us buy our house, and now we’re excited to have her help us sell our house. I’d recommend her to my family and friends!” T. Presley – Marietta

“Thank you for helping us find our dream home. We looked for months with no luck until we found Duffy Realty. Randall really put us at ease by doing all the work for us. Randall was in contact with us on a daily basses informing us of the new listings. Not to mention finding all the houses we looked at. Thanks to Randall, we found our home and closed on time. The whole process was smooth and quick. We’re so happy with Duffy Reality we recommend them to any one looking to buy a home. Duffy Reality took the hassle of finding a home and turned it into a stress free journey.” K. & R. Dehm – Covington

“I worked with Todd Edwards from Duffy Reality on my recent home purchase, and he was a pleasure to work with. Todd was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market and buying process. He replied to all of calls and emails in a timely manner. This was my first home purchase, and I would have been completely lost without Todd’s expertise. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family.” S. Patheja – Atlanta

Felton – Atlanta

“Duffy Realty made our home buying experience extremely easy. What started with driving through neighborhoods, searching for options for our upcoming move, we stumbled upon Tynecastle Way and your sign. Joshua Thomas of Duffy Realty was the listing agent and actually answered the phone on Easter Sunday – we had an appointment with him to see the house the next day. Joshua and his team were extremely helpful, walking us through the whole process. Duffy Realtys team met us at the property whenever we requested to bring in various contractors as we priced and inspected the home. All in all it was a seamless process we couldn’t be more happy about.” G. Elkins – Sandy Springs

We do thank you all, but specifically Michael Brooks for his countless hours spent in the pursuit of finding us the “perfect” home for some very specific needs. Michael tirelessly researched every question we had for him and got us an answer quickly. He is very knowledgeable of every aspect of real estate and provided us with tremendously useful information, gently guiding us to make the best decisions.

Here are what some of our happy homeowners have to say about Duffy Realty’s Buyer Agent Team:

“Five months ago, I saw a house which I wanted. But there were some issues going on because the house was on short sale and the bank did not approve the price. So later on, we failed to buy the house but Alania Billingsley found different route to buy the same home. Her persistent effort made the house interaction carry the process conveniently. She responded to my questions instantly when I text her and was will to help me. Now she made us breath fresh air refreshingly.” J. Jung – Buford

“The McCarty Team held our hands throughout a long distance home purchase. Jennifer was always available to answer questions and get information to/from the sellers. Her patience and knowledge made it a great experience. The 8 Step Buyer Timeline was a useful guide.” T. Grondal – Johns Creek

“I have always put aside and brushed off previous realtors that has called me in my quest for a home search and I believe it was only because destiny led me to Deanna when the timing was just right. Deanna has been an amazing realtor and coach throughout this entire process and made my home search a pleasing experience. As a first time buyer, she made me feel very comfortable with any questions I may have had. She walked me through each step and explained everything which made it so easy for me to understand. It was almost as if I was being positively coached and guided by a big sister and the rapport that we build was just like that. Her information was always accurate and right on target with what steps were next. She was always very accommodating with my hectic work schedule. I anticipated an emotional roller coaster as a young, single, first time buyer, but Deanna was so well-versed in her real estate knowledge that I couldn’t ask for a better realtor. I have been raving about her and this experience as much as I have been raving about the home. She was very transparent and I do not have any regrets with any info given to me. She will definitely be my only referral to any one who is on their home search as well.” T. Amey – Loganville

Selling 101: Some Basics You Need to Know When Selling Your Home

selling101

If you are selling a home for the first time, chances are you are feeling pretty overwhelmed by the journey ahead. Selling your home can be an incredibly stressful task, but there are some basic steps you can take to make this process as easy as possible. Whether you sell your home with Duffy Realty of Atlanta or with another agent, this process will be the same. Follow these steps to get your house sold asquickly and painlessly as you can.

Check your emotions at the door and make your home a product.

If this is your first home, chances are you have many memories attached to living in it. But you’ll need to distance yourself from this home because it won’t be yours for much longer. A good way to detach is by depersonalizing, cleaning, and making small updates to really make it a product. Make your home marketable so that all buyers can picture themselves in the home. Don’t waste time feeling nostalgic and emotional because this will only make it harder for you to sell. After you have gotten your home move-in-ready, take breathtaking photos to add to your listing to really  sell it. Your listing should be accessible in as many ways as possible, including real estate websites, the multiple listing services, and signs throughout your community.

Marketing is key.

Be forthcoming with information about the property. One of the easiest ways to expedite the selling process is by being available to answer buyers’ questions about the property, or by providing buyers with a Seller’s Disclosure Statement. You should be able to answer any questions about the property’s history that you know. Keep in mind that a Seller’s Disclosure is not an inspection, and that the inspection will confirm information on the property you have already given or expand on any information you cannot provide. Be willing togive your contact information out on your listing or in any advertising you do so that buyers or buyer’s agents can contact you if they have specific questions.

Review and revise all offers and attend closing.

This seems like a no-brainer, but sometimes the process of reviewing offers can be daunting. If you sit down and read through all of the terms yourself, then you will begin to make sense of everything. Don’t psych yourself out. Review all of the terms in the offer, and if they are not acceptable to you, simply revise them and send them back to the buyer to agree upon. Once all parties have agreed to all of the terms, the final step is to attend closing directed by a closing attorney. Once you outline exactly how this process works, it seems a lot less complicated, which is exactly how we want it to feel!

Reeling in Different Types of Buyers

reelingbuyers

There are a couple of different buyers out in the market these days that can make it difficult when creating or advertising your listing. As a seller, you have to find ways to cater to each kind of buyer to really maximize the exposure of your home. By doing so, you will have an even greater chance of getting your home sold quickly.

Buyers with an agent

Many buyers hire a buyer’s agent to aid them in the process of searching for and purchasing a home. Their agent searches for homes in the buyer’s price range, desired area, and with their preferred features and then brings them to the property to show. Some buyers may even go to the property without their agent, but if they are represented by their agent through closing, then you will still have to pay the buyer’s agent commission. You might be wondering, “Why should I pay a commission to this agent who isn’t representing me?” Without the agent, the buyer may not have found your home on their own. So it is important to provide an incentive for the buyer’s agents in order to persuade them to bring buyers to your home. The buyer’s agent will then represent them through the closing process while your agent represents you.

Unrepresented buyers

It is becoming more and more common for buyers to come to your home without an agent. With the ability to search for homes on the Internet, buyers can choose which properties they would like to see on their own. In order to reach unrepresented buyers, you need to make your property as accessible as possible. This might include advertising in local papers or putting up signs with your contact information to show your home. You should be available as much as possible to show your home, since unrepresented buyers don’t have an agent to access a digital lockbox. Be willing to make appointments with these buyers to show your home and have as much information as possible about your property to better inform them. Then, direct them to your agent to proceed with any offers. Having an unrepresented buyer can be a great advantage in the end for you, since you won’t have to pay a buyer’s agent commission.

Other options

You may get buyers who either have an agent or who are unrepresented, but you might also get people who would like to rent or lease your property. At Duffy Realty of Atlanta, you can list your home for a lease purchase for no extra charge. If you would like to rent your home, you may advertise it via rental websites to advertise it. Once the rental term is up, you may list it in the MLS. It is important to be aware that there are a few types of buyers in the market that you can real in. Cater towards all of them and your home will be sold in no time!
