Either order works, but many buyers start by talking with a lender to understand their budget and loan options.
We can also recommend questions to ask a lender and help you build a realistic, local game plan based on current inventory.

Sager Real Estate’s story goes back decades—your site history notes the company was started in 1969.
That long local legacy matters because real estate is as much about people and place as it is paperwork.

Most buyers plan for (1) an earnest money deposit once under contract, (2) a down payment (amount varies by loan type),
and (3) closing costs (lender fees, title work, escrow items, etc.). We’ll help you estimate a range based on your loan and price point.

Earnest money is a good-faith deposit that shows a seller you’re serious. The “right” amount depends on price point,
competition, and your contract terms. We’ll advise what’s typical locally for your situation.

A general home inspection is the standard starting point. Depending on the property, buyers also consider well/septic inspections,
radon testing, water quality, pest/wood-destroying insect inspections, and roof/HVAC specialty evaluations.
We’ll help you choose based on the home and location.

An appraisal is a lender-required valuation to confirm the home’s value supports the loan amount. If the appraisal comes in low,
you may renegotiate, adjust the down payment, challenge the appraisal (in some cases), or explore other options.

Yes—many people do. Options can include a home sale contingency, timing strategies, rent-backs, bridge-style solutions,
or structuring your sale and purchase to reduce stress. We’ll walk you through the pros/cons for your timeline.

Absolutely. We’ll explain the process in plain English, help you understand costs and timelines, and coach you through showings,
offers, inspections, and closing—step by step.

Start with a pricing and strategy conversation. We’ll review your home, discuss timing and goals, and share a plan for preparation,
marketing, showings, and negotiation.

We use recent comparable sales, current competition, condition/upgrades, location, and buyer demand to recommend a pricing strategy.
The goal is to attract serious buyers and maximize your bottom line—not just “pick a number and hope.”

Focus on the high-impact basics: declutter, deep clean, freshen paint where needed, address obvious repairs, and improve curb appeal.
We’ll give you a tailored prep list so you’re not wasting time or money on low-return projects.

It depends on price, condition, and local demand. Some homes move quickly; others take longer due to seasonality or unique features.
We’ll set expectations using the most relevant nearby data for your home and price range.

Not necessarily. The best offer is the one most likely to close with terms that work for you—price is only one piece.
We’ll compare financing strength, contingencies, timelines, and risk.

Yes. Land and farm purchases often include extra due diligence like road access, easements, utilities, well/septic feasibility,
surveys, and zoning considerations. We’ll help you ask the right questions early.

Key items often include: zoning/allowed uses, access (public road vs. private), easements, utility availability, perk/septic info,
floodplain, timber/streams, and whether a survey is needed. We’ll guide your checklist based on the parcel.

Yes—commercial deals can vary widely by property type and intended use. We’ll help you evaluate zoning, income potential,
condition, and due diligence timelines.

A contingency is a contract term that must be satisfied for the deal to proceed—common examples include financing, appraisal,
inspection, and home sale contingencies. Contingencies can protect you, but they can also affect offer strength in competitive markets.

Closing is the final step where ownership transfers. Your lender (if applicable), title/settlement company, and agents coordinate
paperwork, funds, and recording. We’ll keep the timeline on track and make sure you understand what to expect before closing day.

Closing costs vary by price, loan type, and escrow needs. They can include lender fees, title/settlement fees, recording,
prepaid taxes/insurance, and more. We’ll help you estimate early, and your lender will provide the official figures.

That’s common. After inspections, buyers may request repairs, credits, or price adjustments depending on findings.
We’ll help you prioritize what matters, negotiate fairly, and keep the deal moving.

Yes. Whether you’re moving in for mountain views and small-town charm or relocating out for your next chapter,
we can help you plan timing, neighborhoods, and the overall process.
