Current conditions in the real estate market are challenging for buyers, sellers and the real estate agents that serve them.
Tess Brannagan a licensed Real Estate Agent for Caldwell Banker, Katonah offers her insight on Today’s Real Estate Market. Her expertise is with Residential, First-time home buyers, Buyers, Sellers and Rentals.
“The Sellers are avaricious and the buyers are opportunistic. Both sides are confused which makes it so difficult to help them both. Today’s Sellers need to be realistic, after all when they have to buy another place to live, they will be moving to the Buyers' side and will benefit from the lower prices as well, it’s all relative”.
Tess goes on to say “Most importantly, Buyers should always first sit with a trustworthy Mortgage Officer to determine what they can really afford. Buyers should get all their mortgage information and know that pre-approvals of some Mortgage Companies can be worthless”.
Tess attributes her success to being goal oriented and by taking a real interest in helping her clients either buy or sell their home. “Many agents have left the business, while I have been able to weather the storm and still be there for my clients. Eventually the market will come back and I want to be around when it does”.
Tess Brannagan has been a Real Estate Agent for 7 years serving the Westchester, Putnam and Duchess Counties.
