Frequently Asked Questions

Selling your home is incredibly stressful.  For one thing, you have to organize your house and clean it like crazy before you can even list it on the market. Then, you have to keep it that way constantly, just in case a buyer wants to suddenly stop by. So, you have to secure your pets, make sure all the kids’ toys are picked up, and leave your house at a moment’s notice…in the hopes that this time, the right buyer will show up. The entire experience can leave you frustrated, anxious and worried, especially as the weeks become months…which is what happens when you pick the wrong Real Estate Broker .

The wrong Agent or Broker will act as a “yes man,” telling you whatever you want to hear…even if it won’t help you sell your house. The wrong Agent or Broker  will take amateur photographs and place just a few ads, rather than professionally showcasing your home and aggressively advertising it to potential buyers, and the wrong real estate agent sells homes as a side gig, meaning they’re only available to you an hour or two a day–if you’re lucky.

If you’re ready to take the plunge and buy a home, you may be wondering whether you should purchase new construction or buy an older home. New construction homes tend to be larger and have a more modern layout. In comparison, older homes may be located in more established and eclectic neighborhoods.

There are pros and cons for both old houses and new houses, depending on what you’re looking for and your lifestyle. Are you looking to move into a home that’s ready as-is and doesn’t need any major updates? Or are you looking for an older home with character and are willing to invest in fixing it up?

Creating a checklist of your “must-haves” may help you work through the old house vs. new house debate once and for all. Let’s look at a few pros and cons of each to help you get started.

The Pros Of New Construction

New construction is any home where you’re the first person to live at that residence. For instance, you may purchase an already built home directly from the builder. And there are many advantages to going this route:

For most people, there is no distinction between a real estate broker and a real estate agent. However, if you work in the real estate industry, there is a very clear difference.

All real estate brokers were once licensed agents — but not all agents are brokers. Brokers assume legal responsibility for the agents and the real estate transactions being managed through their brokerage.

Agents hang their licenses with a brokerage, and the broker provides oversight, consultation, and direction to ensure transactions get managed according to the letter of the law.

Real estate brokers are responsible for compliance, paperwork approval, lead generation, and new agent training. They even mediate agent disagreements and guide some agent transactions. Often, they are the owners of the brokerage as well. Brokers are responsible for the overall health of the brokerage and its agents.

For most lenders, the mortgage loan process takes approximately 30 days. But it can vary quite a bit from one lender to the next. Banks and credit unions tend to take a bit longer than mortgage companies. Also, high volume can alter turn times. It may take 45 to 60 days to close a mortgage during busy months.
