Germantown Properties understand that buying real estate can pose many financial and logistical challenges. We can guide and advise you throughout the process, but the buyer is who makes the final decision.

What can you afford? It’s tempting for first time home buyers to overreach and spend more than they can realistically afford. Mortgage calculators are available to help potential buyers determine what their payments would be. We have several Mortgage lenders to help you.

The first property you see.  Like romantic dating, it’s rare that the first property you see will be the absolute perfect fit. Buyers who fall in love with the first home they visit should allow us to show you at least 3 similar homes. Furthermore, don’t compare homes until the end of the day.

Always visit the house more than once. If you’re serious about possibly purchasing a house, be sure to visit it more than once. You may view it differently a second, third, or even fourth time. If this place is going to be home for the next few years – or even the rest of you’re life – you’d better be sure it’s the perfect match!

Germantown Properties is the right REALTOR for your family. It’s daunting to navigate through the housing market on your own. It’s always the best choice to trust the experience and advice of Germantown Properties.

When selling your home, there are many strategies and ideas to remember. While Germantown Properties plays a large role in selling your house, it’s ultimately you who determines the success in preparing the house for the market.

Prepare your home for showing. View your house with an objective eye and determine what needs to be repaired and updated, renovate your house like you would make it show in the best light. Every potential buyer who comes in through the doors is looking for a perfect match. Will your home leave a good first impression?

Set the price reasonably. Many homeowners fail to sell their homes quickly because they are unrealistic when setting the price. Even if you’ve renovated your home, you must remain detached and determine a reasonable price that is in concurrence with market conditions and interest rates.

Join the digital world. Technology has changed the way we do business. It’s also changed the way we sell and buy houses. We will list your home on ALL Real Estate websites.

Germantown Properties will be your number one ally in acquiring the money you deserve for your home.
