Quick Answers

Because Buying, Selling or Renovating Shouldn’t Be Complicated

You shouldn’t have to dig for straight answers. Emir makes the process approachable by tackling the most common questions up front—covering everything from marketing and negotiations to renovations and market timing. Check the FAQs below and step into your next move with less stress.

Buying FAQ
Selling FAQ
Renovating FAQ

Normalize by bed/bath, lot size, condition, school zone, age, view, and walkability; compare near-term comps within 0.5–1 mile.

ARMs can lower payments for 5–7-year stays; stress-test caps/refi risk; fixed loans fit long holds or low risk tolerance.

Lenders scrutinize reserves, delinquencies, and litigation; weak HOAs raise rates or sink loans—read budgets, minutes, and reserve studies.

Work both: off-market can cut competition but limits exposure; MLS maximizes selection; use disciplined pricing and full diligence either way.

Use district address finders and direct confirmation; run door-to-door commute tests at peak/off-peak and validate transit options.

Prioritize foundation/drainage, roof, electrical panel/wiring, plumbing/sewer, unpermitted work, and HOA litigation or weak reserves.

Net sheet = price minus loan payoffs, commissions, title/escrow, transfer taxes, credits, HOA dues, and liens—review before launch.

Provide complete TDS/SPQ/NHD and permit history; add context memos for past repairs, known quirks, and any non-permitted items.

Use tight showing windows, advance notice, shoe covers, staging zones, and a pet/kid plan; keep the home “photo-ready” between slots.

Pre-comp the appraisal, prep a rebuttal package, and negotiate credits vs. price cuts to keep the buyer’s loan qualified.

Prefer strong financing, short contingencies, seller rent-back if needed, and clear as-is language with defined repair credits.

Rate buydowns often beat equal price cuts on monthly payment; confirm with lender scenarios and a seller net sheet.

Title 24 pushes better envelopes, HVAC, lighting, and fenestration; it raises design/spec costs modestly but reduces operating costs—budget compliance time and inspections.

Phase to live-in: start with safety/systems, then one wet room at a time; set dust control/temporary kitchen, schedule noisy work daytime, and keep a 10–15% contingency.

Budget ~0.5–2% of value for a pre-sale refresh and 5–15%+ for targeted remodels; align scope to comp set and expected hold period for best returns.

Top ROI: interior paint, LVP/refinished floors, LED/fixture updates, hardware/mirrors, light bath refresh, kitchen counters/appliances, landscaping, and repairs that remove buyer objections.
