One of the most sought after towns in Union County is Union, NJ 07083; due to its price point and diversity.

Union, NJ is a dynamic township offering a range of residential properties, from beautifully maintained single-family homes, Townhomes, 2 Family Homes, and even some DIY fixer-uppers. Whether your home is near Kean University, in the Battle Hill Section, or tucked into the Putnam Manor neighborhood, we specialize in making sure your home is presented properly and priced accurately to attract the “retail buyers”.

Our Focus: Getting You the Best Value for Your Home

When we’re aiming to get the Retail Buyer our Focus is different from the other buyers

We prioritize getting your home marketed to the “end user”  aka “retail buyer” who is willing to pay top dollar for a home that is well maintained and presented well. Showcasing your property as “Move-In Ready” and possibly even “Newly Renovated” is what will get your home top dollar.

Expert Pricing

Our knowledge of the Union County market ensures we price your home correctly to maximize its value, whether it’s move-in ready or requires some updates.

• We assist sellers with staging homes, if the home needs some updating or if it’s vacant.
• We also offer digital staging “Included with no additional cost”
• We do 360 3d Virtual Tour – High Definition Photos, Walk-Thru Tour
• Floor Plans play a very important role in selling your home; they give the client the layout of the home with the Square Footage and the buyer can see if the home layout works for them.

Cash Buyers for Non-Retail Homes

If your home is not a “retail-ready” property, (meaning it’s in need of work, possibly distress financially or in need of a renovation or major repairs), we have cash buyers ready to purchase. Our primary focus is to ensure you the seller gets the best value with the best terms for your sale. These types of homes typically have a lot of issues most sellers cannot handle, like clean out, liens, repairs that wouldn’t qualify for a traditional sale and many other things that could arise.  We know the obstacle and assist you with being able to sell your home quickly with no contingencies, meaning AS-IS sale.

How the Selling Process Works

Initial Consultation

We begin by assessing your home and discussing your selling goals. Whether you’re looking for a retail sale and willing to put some work in (if need be) or exploring cash options for a “AS-IS” non-retail sale, we’ll develop the right strategy for your sale.

Tailored Selling Strategy

For retail-ready homes, we create a customized marketing plan to ensure maximum exposure to qualified buyers. The retail buyer wants to be wow’d so we start by making sure the home presents well.  Work starts weeks before the listing goes live.  Cleaning, decluttering, preparing walls and all areas of the home to make it look “HGTV Open House Ready”.  This is something that some sellers are willing to do and others say “NO WAY we want to just walk away”. So it’s important to understand your needs and goals, what you are or aren’t willing to do, prior to listing.

Fair Market Pricing

Our expert team has sold over 1,000 homes in Union County and we will help you price your home accurately to attract the right buyers while ensuring you get the most value.  Remember: A little work before listing will go a long way. Could even be just some simple digital or actual staging.

Cash Option for Non-Retail Homes

If your home doesn’t meet the criteria for retail buyers, we can offer cash buyers who are ready to close within 15 days, depending on your needs. This is typically an AS-IS Sale – where investors buy your home with minor inspection like only an environmental tank sweep.  All other inspections would be waived.

Let’s Dive In: Why Waiting for Lower Interest Rates May Not Be Smart

In real estate, the allure of lower interest rates can be a significant driving force influencing decisions on when to buy a house. Many prospective home buyers often find themselves in a difficult situation, waiting on the sidelines, anticipating a drop in interest rates before taking the plunge into homeownership. However, this strategy might only sometimes yield the desired outcome. Here are compelling reasons why waiting for interest rates to drop might not be the best approach when it comes to purchasing a house:

Market Uncertainty: How Interest Rates Impact Home Buying

Interest rates fluctuate due to various economic factors, including inflation rates, employment statistics, and central bank policies. Predicting the precise moment when rates will drop significantly can be challenging. Meanwhile, housing prices might continue rising, offsetting potential savings from lower interest rates.

Limited Control Over Market Conditions:

While interest rates are a crucial factor in affordability, they are not the only determinant. Market conditions, housing inventory, and demand play equally pivotal roles. Waiting for rates to drop might not align with other favorable market conditions, making the timing less advantageous.

Long-Term Financial Planning:

Purchasing a home is a long-term investment. Even with slightly higher interest rates, locking in a favorable rate sooner rather than later could provide stability and financial security in the long run, especially if rates rise unexpectedly. You can always refinance when lower rates become available. 

Potential Missed Opportunities:

The ideal home might present itself at any given time. Waiting exclusively for interest rates to drop could result in missed opportunities for a property that meets your needs perfectly.

 

In conclusion, while lower interest rates can certainly make homeownership more affordable, focusing solely on waiting for rates to drop might not be the most effective strategy. Real estate decisions should be based on a holistic assessment of personal financial readiness, housing market conditions, and long-term goals. Working with a knowledgeable real estate professional can help navigate the complexities of the market and identify the right timing to make a home purchase, ensuring a decision that aligns with both financial prudence and personal aspirations. Remember, the perfect time to buy a home is not solely defined by interest rates but by a combination of various market factors and individual circumstances. Click here to speak with a Licensed  Loan Officer
