They will likely offer you much less than your house is worth. Call a Realtor in your area to get a market analysis of your area and a Brokers opinion of value. If in the Nashville Tennessee area you are welcome to contact me.

There are several ways. I like to tell my buyers to visit the neighborhood after school or in the evenings to see what’s going on and especially on the weekends.

Make sure the agent is understanding exactly what you are looking for and in the right area and price range. If you haven’t been prequalified from a mortgage professional ask agent to suggest someone for you to call. That’s the first step to help your agent know exactly what you Qualify to buy.
