Spring is here!

The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.

In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.

This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.

If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.

Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

Are you a little behind on your spring cleaning? Grab a copy of the Ultimate Spring Cleaning Checklist that was featured last month.

First Step

The first step when looking to buy a home is getting qualified for a loan.

  • ​Before doing anything else you need to know what you can afford by getting qualified for a loan

  • ​Don’t go house hunting before going mortgage shopping

Pre-Approval vs

Pre-Qualification

Why you need an approval rather than just a pre-qualification.

  • Pre-Qualification is not a true approval but the initial step in a home loan process where you discuss your financial situation with a loan officer - nothing is verified

  • Pre- Approval is where the buyer provides the lender with the necessary documents to tell them what they are approved for, which loan option is the best for them and what the interest rate will be

  • Con: Maintenance costs; work and money to keep a home in good condition

How Much Money Do I Need To Purchase a New Home?

Most people are afraid that it will cost them thousands and thousands of dollars to purchase a home in Brentwood.

  • ​There are various loans and grants to qualify to purchase a home

3 Tips To Get Your Offer Accepted

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ANGIE DOUT

"I did not only use Angie Dout to sell my home last month. I also used her talent to buy the same home 2 years prior."

"I was a return customer, because she not once tried to push me into a home that wasn’t a good fit, and she also knows real estate and people. She knows the do’s and don’t’s of home buying and will always look out for your best interest! Communication is always excellent! I can literally call at 7:00 in the morning or 10:00 in the evening with a question and she will always answer. DO NOT go to anyone else for your home buying/selling needs. We listed and the house was contracted within a matter of days! She knows the contractors and cleaners that you need at Amazing prices to get your house sold quick!"

- Dylan

"Angie is outstanding. Her first priority was to understand the needs of my family."

"She is patient, professional and always had our interest in mind.

If you don’t use her for your next purchase/listing, you are missing out and potentially leaving money on the table."

- Renzo & Martha

"We are very thankful to have found Angie to help us on our home buying journey in Tennessee."

"We are very thankful to have found Angie to help us on our home buying journey in Tennessee. With my husband and I being in two different states, she communicated with us both quickly and efficiently. She knows her stuff and provided us valuable advice along the way. We 100% recommend Angie to help anyone with their real estate needs. She works hard for her clients."

- Patty & Tony
