  • Negotiate the repair negotiations
  • Upload online highly detailed data in MLS with up to 25 photos of your home
  • Install lockbox and front yard sign, if desired
  • Attend the closing meeting at the attorney’s office
  • As a thank you for supporting small businesses, you will receive a few thousands back of the sale’s commission when you sell and buy your next home using the service of our agents

Properly Valuating Your Home

Our expert agents will meticulously prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to ensure your home is priced perfectly for the current market. We combine our experience with a detailed evaluation of your property's competitive position to ensure you don't leave any money on the table.

A Powerful Marketing Plan

We create a comprehensive marketing strategy tailored to your property, designed to attract the right buyers. This includes leveraging the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) with professional-quality photos and online exposure to get your home seen by as many potential buyers as possible.

Seamless Negotiation and Closing

From handling price negotiations with the buyer’s agent to managing repair disputes after inspection, our team is there every step of the way. We coordinate everything and attend the closing meeting to ensure the entire process is as smooth and successful as possible, leaving you with peace of mind.

Why Going FSBO Is Risky


Some sellers think they should sell their house on their own and decide to go FSBO (For Sale by Owner). The reason behind to want some extra stress is to avoid paying commission.

Risks:

  • Homeowners are not aware of the Fair Housing Act law and often commit violations.
  • After investing so much time and money, the property does not sell
  • IF the house sells, it sells for less than the market value due to poor negotiation skills or frustration with the process.
  • Often, homeowners do not see the house with a buyers’ point of view, which in return causes them to put the house on the market at a higher price than it is worth. As a consequence, the house does not appraise and the deal falls apart, unless the buyers have the cash to pay the difference.
  • An offer is accepted but the buyers were not financially investigated in advanced
  • Allowing strangers to view your home without getting access to their personal information.
  • Unless the seller does not work, the exposure of the home will be limited to after work hours

Top reasons to work with a real estate professional:

  • Agents are skilled negotiators who do that for a living
  • Agents invest their time and money marketing the property, but do not get paid if the house does not sell
  • An Agent will sell a house at a higher market value than a FSBO sale
  • An agent closes dozens of real estate transactions yearly and is continually surrounded by other professionals, should the house need the attention of other skilled professionals to make it more appealable to prospect buyers
  • Agents pre-qualify prospect buyers to ensure that they are able to purchase a property
  • Agents have the skills, knowledge, and experience to solve problems that might arise during the transaction

At Casas & Houses Realty we’re not just experienced real estate professionals in the Triangle area real estate market, we’re home owners too. It takes more than a trained real estate agent to understand the needs and concerns of a buyer client. It takes someone who has been there, someone who has the same concerns when they’re home shopping.

We welcome first time home buyers too!  Let our expert agents do the work for you and guide you with what is involved in the process of buying.  Please keep in mind that you must be pre-approved for a loan before we show you any of the houses on the market. Pre-approved means that you already provided the necessary paperwork to a mortgage lender and that you obtained a letter which states that you are financially able to purchase a house. At your request, we will refer you to a few of the lenders that our past buyers have used. Just give us a call!

We don’t want to minimize the technical aspects of the home buying process though. Every year it becomes more complex. Between government legislation, environmental laws, mortgage documentation requirements and the legal aspects of a home purchase, the home buyer must be on top of all aspects of the process, or be helped by a professional.

The services of real estate brokerages are similar when it comes to working with buyers. However, Casas & Houses Realty receives high marks and recommendations from our past buyer clients because we take buyer real estate services to the next level.

Our first step is to meet with you at our office to listen to your real estate needs and desires to better serve you. Once we have gathered the necessary information, we will walk you through the process of buying a home, so you know what to expect at every stage of your purchase.

Be aware that the “Onsite Agent” (the agent that works at the model home) he or she represents the builder, and their job is to look for the builders interest, not yours! Do not get me wrong, they are not there to take advantage of you, but they are not there either to tell you how to cut a better deal on the sale of their house. So, get the help of a buyer’s agent!

The professionals at Casas & Houses Realty are here to assist buyers in the real estate market, and we’re really good at our jobs. There’s plenty to do:

  • The first step is to get pre-approval for a mortgage loan. Ask your mortgage lender to e-mail us your pre-approval letter. sales@casasandhouses.comWe will need it prior to taking you to view any houses on the market. Let us know if you need assistance finding a reputable mortgage lender. At your request, we will gladly put you in touch with any of the lenders that our past clients have used
