We are out in the field every day, showing properties to our buyers and helping them make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Buying a home can be a fun and exciting process, but also bring about a lot of questions for those who have not gone through the process before! We have found, after over 10 years in the business, that if one person has the question, someone else probably does too!

We reached out to our team of agents to find out what buyers have been asking and want to share some tips with everyone to help you out! Want even more help? Check out our upcoming Home Buyer Class for a free and fun information session on buying your first home!

Meredith Kiep steps up to the plate to answer the question she is often asked, “How Much Should I Offer?”

A: The answer to this question is a bit tricky as it varies transaction to transaction and there isn’t an exact formula to come up with a number. A word of advice I give, is to have your agent send over the comps for comparable properties that have sold within the last 3-6 months. This is also where having an agent come into play as they should be the expert on the market and be able to guide you to come up with a competitive offer.
