Some Highlights
- Once your offer is accepted, an inspector will assess the condition of the house, including things like the roof, foundation, plumbing, and more.
- That information is incredibly important and paves the way for you to re-negotiate with the seller, as needed. So, you don’t want to skip this step.
- An inspection is your chance to avoid costly headaches and get peace of mind. Connect with an agent to talk about other ways to make your offer stand out.

Some Highlights
- Thanks to recent home price appreciation, homeowners have near record amounts of equity – and you may too. On average, homeowners have $311K worth of equity.
- Once you sell, you can use it to fund your down payment on your next home or maybe even to buy a smaller house in cash.
- If you want to find out how much equity you have, connect with an agent. Because it may make a move a lot more feasible than you’d think.
