Common Real Estate Questions

Staging helps homes sell faster and often at higher prices by creating an inviting, well-designed space.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:

  • How will you show my property?

  • Will you do open houses to market my home?

  • How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?

  • Should I make repairs to my home before listing?

  • Will you get professional photos taken of my home?

  • What is the best price you think we can get for my property?

  • How long do you expect the sale to take?

Choosing a high-quality home stager can mean the difference between your home flying off the shelves or sitting on the market for weeks or months, and it all starts with verifying the stager’s experience. You can start by asking how long the professional has been in the business, and you should also ask for references and examples of past work in your particular area. Ask the stager about your options, including virtual staging, furniture rental, and other preparation services.

You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.
