ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED REAL ESTATE QUESTIONS

Looking to buy or sell in Atlanta and have questions?

Team Sterling has the answers.

The real estate market is complex and can raise a lot of questions for people.  If it’s your first purchase in Georgia you’ll need to be aware of local market rules and regulations specific to your situation.  That’s where Team Sterling can be a big help.  We are more than real estate agents, we are Real Estate Wealth Advisors.  We are here to consult with you, answer questions, and assist you in making informed decisions. 

Team Sterling Realtor Annie Tran has moved many times and is very familiar with the questions that arise in this situation.  We asked her to answer a few more common questions frequently asked.

“I’m a small business owner and want to buy a home; is financing going to be an issue?”

Having your finances in order is the number one priority for a successful real estate transaction.  Annie herself previously owned a small business and understands the unique challenges business owners face.  Traditional lending can have requirements business owners find difficult to comply with, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.  At Sterling, we work with a variety of lenders who are experts at working with business owners. We’ll take the time to evaluate your situation and connect you with lenders that suit your needs. Together, we’ll identify solutions you may not have considered that will help you get into your new home.

 “Is it better to sell my property or rent it out as an investment?”

The best answer to this question will depend on your situation, your goals, and current market dynamics.  For example:  What’s your cash flow situation? Are we in a seller’s market? Are you ready for the obligations and responsibilities of managing a tenant?  During your consultation, we’ll cover all relevant questions specific to your circumstances and provide an indication of potential investment returns and market appreciation.  You’ll come away with a clear understanding of the things you need to consider in order to make an informed decision that is right for you.

 “My child is studying and I’d like to purchase a home for them; what should I consider?”

This question often comes up for parents with children studying abroad.  It’s important to have a local expert working with you to ensure that you find a solution that not only meets your current needs, but also meets your needs at the end of the study period.  Our team is familiar with the types of housing scenarios best suited to this situation.  We'll help you evaluate the home's vicinity to schools, as well as access to transport, shops and recreation.  If you are looking at this as an investment, we also help you understand the projected value growth of various areas.
