Spring is here!

The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.

In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.

This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.

If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.

Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

Pre-Approval vs

Pre-Qualification

Why you need an approval rather than just a pre-qualification.

  • Pre-Qualification is not a true approval but the initial step in a home loan process where you discuss your financial situation with a loan officer - nothing is verified

  • Pre- Approval is where the buyer provides the lender with the necessary documents to tell them what they are approved for, which loan option is the best for them and what the interest rate will be

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT DEBBIE ATWOOD

“Working with Debbie was a pleasure.”

"Debbie was excellent during my weekend of house hunting when I arrived from CA. She handled the long distance process and kept me updated. She also consoled my concerns about all of paperwork needed. This house fit my needs and will be a good home for my anticipated long term needs. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing to make a move."

PATRICK

“The best example of a professional realtor, best experience I've ever had.”

"I have had experiences with other Realtors, and I felt Debbie has excellent communication, response times, and compassion for both sellers and buyers. Truly my best experience ever dealing with a realtor selling and purchasing. Her calm, helpful, and concerned personality really meant a lot to me. The best example of a professional realtor, best experience I've ever had."

TOREY

“When selling our home, she literally saved us from making an awful decision!.”

"Debbie Atwood is an outstanding, trustworthy broker and my wife and I already recommend her to everyone we know. My kids will use her when they grow up if she's still in the market at that time! That's how much we love her. This was our second time working with Debbie and she always goes above and beyond and has your best interests at heart. When selling our home, she literally saved us from making an awful decision! Her experience in the market is next to no one, she's at the top of her class. If you speak to Debbie for two minutes, you immediately see her knowledge and expertise. Debbie made what can sometimes be a difficult and painful process very stress-free for our family. If you're looking for a broker in the area and you don't reach out to speak with Debbie, you already made your first mistake. Again, she is top of her class!"
