Multiple offer situations are very common at the moment, and this means there are a few important things today's buyers and sellers should know before trying to navigate one themselves. During a recent Facebook Live interview, I shared some.

Finding and purchasing a home that will meet your needs is a significant and often stressful time. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible. We are experts in the area, and once we learn what it is that you're looking for, finding your dream home is simple. Have you determined your price range or consulted a lender to determine the best price range?.
If you are a first-time home buyer, use the guide below for helpful hints and tips and learn how to avoid common mistakes when buying your first home in Hampton Roads Virginia. Pre-Qualification: Meet with a mortgage broker and find out how much you can afford to pay for a home. Pre-Approval: While knowing how much you can afford is the first step, sellers will be much more receptive to potential buyers who have been pre-approved.
Before the offer to purchase is created, it is very important that you have been at least pre-qualified or better yet pre-approved by a lender. When you are buying a home, there are many problems that the seller is obligated to disclose. For example, in most states, it is illegal to withhold information about major physical defects on the property, but, these disclosures don't always paint the entire picture of the home.
You've found your dream home, the seller has accepted your offer, your loan has been approved and you're eager to move into your new home. But before you get the key, there's one more step--the closing. Also called the settlement, the closing is the process of passing ownership of property from seller to buyer.
Congratulations, you are on your way to owning your very own home! Follow these suggestions (and your Realtor's advice) so that contract and closing will go as smooth as possible. You will be asked for a down payment on the home you are purchasing.
You can choose to put down as much or as little as you want (depending on your mortgage), but remember, the more you put down toward the total price of your home, the less time it will take you to pay off and the less your mortgage payments will be every month.

My husband and I worked with Amanda for purchasing our home and she has been wonderful. She was quick to respond to my initial message while we were looking for a realtor and stayed consistent with her responsiveness throughout the process. Being our first time buying a home she made us feel comfortable to ask any questions we had and stayed in touch to let us know how things were moving along.

Review for Amanda Ackiss--As a first time home-buyer, I cannot say more positive words about Amanda. She is patient, kind, compassionate, and takes time and care for with her clients. She is very professional and she knows her trade without doubt. She listened and went out of her way to be my advocate. Without her, I doubt I would have navigated a home purchase. She is a great person, and if you get the chance to work with her--don't pass her up!!

Positive: Quality
Dennis Cushing was great to deal with. Great attention to details and always a straight-shooter. He did a great job navigating us through this process and helped us get the repairs needed at a good value so we could get a good price for our property. I definitely recommend Dennis to anyone looking to sell a property.

Let me start of by saying that Chris A Williams is a PHENOMENAL realtor. I was connected with Chris through a website while looking for a home to purchase, let me just add that we had a little over a month to find the right home and have everything closed since we would be arriving to VA from Cali with no place to stay. Being a first time buyer can be nerve wreaking but having to buy a house you cannot see in person from a person you just met on line is beyond stressful but Chris was so amazing with answering my million questions and being so thorough explaining the entire process that I knew he

My dad was relocating to Virginia when I found a home online that grab my attention and our real estate agent Macie Henderson was recommended. She did a great job in helping us find the perfect home. We went to our closing on time and it was a smooth transition. She is very professional, responsive and she knows her job well. Thank you Macie and your assistant Brittney for being amazing.

Amanda Ackiss was the best real estate agent, we would not be where we are today without her help and speed at finding us a forever home. Everything she did was on time and fast. resulting in our first house we made an offer on to be the one we got!

Bria Oliver was the agent that handled the sale of my house. She did an excellent job throughout the entire process right up to the closing. She always kept me informed and explained things in a clear and concise manner. Multiple offers were received in less than a week, with the accepted one going through seamlessly. Most required signatures were easily completed via email in a couple of minutes. I highly recommend using Lonnie Bush/ Bria Oliver, if you are looking to sell or buy a house.

Chris A. Williams was a top of the line realtor!!! We couldn't have asked for a better person to walk us through the process! He was very hands-on, professional, organized, always responded as quickly as possible to our questions and concerns, and explained in as much detail as he able to. He even acted as a liaison for us when we need to convey thoughts to other parties. He put us in contact with all the right people and steered us in all the right directions based on his experience in the field. Overall, Chris is a 5 star realtor! We are most definitely sending people his way & would recommend
