Real Estate Market Update Harrison Bocook Buyer's Agent Bocook Realty
Under Contract in less than a week!
If you haven’t already heard it, it is a full out Seller’s Market!!! My father says this is the 3rd one in his 23 years in the business. It is a rare and much needed event for any market and has the ability to make up for losses (paper losses) on homes that have decreased in value during the downturn. Sellers are standing firm on their prices and are not doing very much in the way of paying buyer’s closing costs. We are having multiple offers on homes and have been able to get our seller’s highest and best on price. With rates being so low, we are informing our buyers that paying more for a home and securing it is way more important than trying to save a few thousand dollars and missing the perfect home. Now more than ever, it is important to pick a realtor like our firm with experience and market knowledge. You do not want to leave your money on the table!!! #GetAllYouCan!!!

Things to do before you List your Home I know it’s an amazing seller’s market, but you still must get your home ready to sell. Having taken care of issues that will arise once the home is under contract will save you time and money. Remember, most buyers are getting a loan now from a bank and the bank determines in what condition or what needs to be done prior to closing. 1. Get HVAC systems serviced. The number # 1 issue with homes nowadays is an old or under performing system. Being able to show a great performing system is a great idea. 2.Yard Work. First impressions of a home can make or break you. If a buyer pulls up to the “Perfect Home” yet the yard looks like it has not been well maintained, they might pass on the home. Also having your yard ready will make your listing pictures pop and produce more traffic. 3.Declutter your home. There are two types of homes, the one you live in and the one you are trying to sell. Purge as much as you can. Use the garage as a storage area if needed. You will find that you really don’t need that extra 300 DVDs in your living room. 4. Hire a Real Estate Agent (that’s Me!!) early. Knowing the current market and getting a list of “Must Do’s” from your Reator can give you peace of mind when you are ready to go live with the home. P.S. A lot of the time, I will tell a seller not to worry about a major project or replacing floors as it is not necessary to sell the home, in a seller’s market

Meet Ashley Johnson
Director of Operations By Randy Bocook
“Who could have seen that a tenant for Bocook Rentals would one day run the multi-million dollar operation of Bocook eXp Realty? I knew there was something special about Ashley when she first started with us filing papers. The next thing I know, she is the boss. I laughed because I had staff at the time who were absolutely sure that Ashley would not be a great fit for us. She was so young and there were questions if she could be a strong leader. She certainly has proved them wrong. Ashley has her hands in all of our operations and rarely is a decision made without her input and/or blessing. Ashley is the first point of contact for all of our listings, she updates the sellers, and is the best negotiator in our market. I often tell my clients, “If Ashley said, it is 100% true.” She is family now. We have an incredible tribe and she is a major part of that. I told her that you will know when you are good when you start getting recruited by other Realtors. Well, dozens of offers later, she is still with us. When Ashley is not working (she would say she is always working), she is the wife of Richmond Hill Fire Captain, Jordan Johnson, and has two amazing kids, Abbigail and Steven. I am grateful to have Ashley with us on this journey. She is one of the main reasons we are so good.”
