List With Charles D’Alessandro, Your Brooklyn Realtor

When you list your home and the housing market is fierce, it is not uncommon for more than one offer to be given on your home. Multiple offers are a great problem to have! Plan for them.  Talk with your Brooklyn Realtor about all options available to you. Discuss with him about what to expect and how to handle situations that may come up with multiple offers. Sellers and agent work together. Collaborate with your Brooklyn Realtor and set up a standard policy to handle multiple offers before they start coming in. Knowledge is power, and your agent will work in your behalf. He will keep you informed throughout the entire process from beginning to end so that you can make a good decision.  Working with your Brooklyn Realtor is like a marriage – come together and make the sale of your home happen!

Your Brooklyn Realtor is your representative. He does everything on your behalf. He presents each contract to you and provides his advice on each one. He will work together with you to get the greatest amount of money from the sale of your home with the least amount of stress.

Every offer should be in writing. Proof the buyers have the money for the sale and proper financing to support the offer should accompany their offer. Remember, your Brooklyn Realtor is your representative who works in your behalf, and therefore, all offers should be discussed with him. He will help you understand each offer as they come in, and you will be able to make an educated decision based on clear understanding of what to do with each offer on your home. For instance, an offer of $400,000 cash is a strong offer and could be better than a $405,000 offer with 5% down. Your Brooklyn Realtor is here to help you understand why, and he will explain everything.

What if you’ve accepted an offer when another that seems better is received? What if you accept a first offer but it has not yet been delivered to the purchaser? In either of these situations, talk with your Brooklyn Realtor. He is knowledgeable and easy to talk to.  He will help you know what to do.

Ultimately, you must decide what is best for you and your situation. The option to accept an offer and close it is in your hands, but you and your Brooklyn Realtor must work together to obtain the best offer for the sale of your home with minimal stress.

Ask your Brooklyn Realtor about how the selling process should happen and make sure you are on the same page. Don’t forget that he works for you. You are in a partnership with him. Trust him. He has your best interest at heart to obtain the ultimate goal – the best price for the sale of your home – with as little stress as possible

Your Kitchen – the Focal Point of Your Brooklyn Home

Your kitchen - the focal point of your Brooklyn home

Your kitchen – the focal point of your Brooklyn home

By Charles D’Alessandro | Leave a Comment

Take a look at your kitchen. Is it dated? Are you looking to sell your Brooklyn home? If your kitchen is “way out there”, you may have a hard time selling.

Your kitchen is the focal point of your Brooklyn home. Buyers today are looking for a home with a kitchen that is easy to use, easy to clean and easy to look at. If your kitchen is dated, you many need to invest in a kitchen remodel. Even a minor remodel can recoup most of the cost when you sell. Just remember, consider what will appeal to a future homebuyer. Ultimately, the work you put into a remodel is work you are doing for yourself, but at some point, somebody else will live in the house. Don’t remodel in a way you may regret later. Don’t do something so edgy that you  end up asking yourself, “What on earth was I thinking?”

Here are the top 10 kitchen trends:

1. Chef’s stoves – Even if the buyer doesn’t cook, they want the stove look cool.

2. Eco-friendly features – Appliances and materials in the kitchen are important to a buyer.

3. Granite and quartz countertops – Granite tops the list.

4. Tile backsplashes – Most buyers prefer tile over marble, stone slab or other materials.

5. Floors – Hardwood flooring is hands-down the top choice for flooring.

6. Stainless steel – Well over half of homebuyers today want stainless steel appliances in their kitchens.

7. Islands – Islands aren’t really a must, but they are popular with homebuyers.

8. Transitional style – This is a style combination of traditional and contemporary styles.

9. White cabinets – Almost 75 percent of homebuyers want white or off white cabinets.

10. Gray color schemes – Shades of gray in the kitchen go well with white cabinets.
