This is a myth!

While it’s always a good idea to pay down your debts, you can still buy a home even if you have student loans or a car payment. Lenders will look at your debt-to-income ratio—the percentage of your monthly income that goes toward paying your debts—during the approval process to determine how much of a mortgage you can realistically handle.

5 Easy Ways to Reduce your Home’s Time on the Market:

1. Price RIGHT - it’s so important to make sure your home isn’t priced too high or too low. If it’s too high, the home is more likely to sit on the market for months compared to just a few days.

2. Hire an Experienced Agent - This is what matters MOST! Having an agent who is knowledgeable and knows the market in your local area and surrounding areas can make or break your entire Real Estate experience.

3. Stage your Home - Once you hire an experienced agent he or she will have all the tools to help you succeed and staging is one. Whether they do it themselves or hire a company - it’s worth every penny! Presentation can sometimes make or break an offer coming in.

4. Know the Current Market - we all know how often the market changes and it’s crucial to stay ahead rather than behind of the current market trends.

5. Professional Marketing - Your Agent should be able to provide you with top of the line marketing including professional photography, aerial videos, paid advertising and more!

I hope these tips help you find ways to sell your home fast but also make it profitable!
