1. How do I start the process of buying a home?
Start by connecting with a trusted real estate agent who can help you get pre-approved for a mortgage, understand your budget, and begin searching for homes that fit your needs. At Dervik Real Estate, we guide you through every step—from financing to closing.
2. How much is my home worth?
Home values depend on several factors including location, size, condition, and market trends. We provide a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to give you an accurate estimate based on similar recently sold properties in your area.
3. What does a real estate agent do for a seller?
A real estate agent helps sellers price their home competitively, market it effectively (including MLS listings), coordinate showings, negotiate offers, and manage all legal paperwork for a smooth closing.
4. Should I buy or rent?
The decision to buy or rent depends on your long-term goals, lifestyle, and financial situation. Buying may offer equity and stability, while renting provides flexibility. We can help you evaluate what’s best for your circumstances.
5. How long does it take to sell a home?
On average, homes in North Carolina sell in 30 to 60 days, but timing can vary based on market conditions, pricing, and property appeal. Dervik Real Estate works to minimize time on the market through strategic pricing and targeted marketing.
6. What are the benefits of listing my home on the MLS?
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) gives your property maximum exposure to thousands of real estate agents and potential buyers. It also feeds your listing to major platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, increasing visibility and demand.
7. Why should I work with a real estate agent instead of selling or buying on my own?
An experienced agent provides market expertise, handles complex negotiations, ensures legal compliance, and saves you time and stress. We help you avoid costly mistakes and make confident, informed decisions.
8. What costs are involved when selling a home?
Typical costs include agent commission, staging, repairs, closing costs, and potential concessions to the buyer. We provide a detailed breakdown upfront so there are no surprises.
