Most Home Sales Close – Here’s How To Keep Yours on Track

Most home sales still close, and the biggest thing that could get in the way of yours is the one thing you can actually do something about.

With the right prep, your sale has every reason to make it to the finish. So, let’s connect and get your house sold.

Few things are as rattling as the thought of your home sale falling through at the last minute, right before closing. All that waiting, all that progress, out the window.

🏡 Got a spare room, a finished basement with its own entrance, or a bonus space you mostly use for storage?

To you, it might just be extra square footage. To a growing number of buyers, it could be the exact reason they choose your house over the one down the street.

More buyers today are shopping with aging parents, adult kids, or extended family in mind — and a space that can flex into a private suite is a real selling point, not just a nice-to-have. A finished basement with a kitchenette and separate entrance can function almost like its own small apartment, and buyers notice.

If you've been debating whether to finish that space before you list, it might be worth a second look.

🎓 "I can't buy a house — I have too much student loan debt."

We hear this a lot, and for a lot of buyers, it's just not true.

Here's the part most people don't realize: FHA, conventional, and VA loans don't all calculate your student loans the same way. Say you're on an income-driven repayment plan and your statement shows a $0 monthly payment. Depending on the loan program, that $0 might count as... $0. Or the lender might still be required to add a payment based on a percentage of your loan balance — even though nothing is actually due each month.

Same debt. Same borrower. Different answer depending on which door you walk through.

That's exactly why we tell clients not to assume their student loans rule them out, and not to assume every lender treats that debt the same way. The only way to know your real number is to have someone look at your full picture.

🏡 Quick question: do you actually know what your house is worth today? Not what Zillow guessed, not what your neighbor's place sold for two years ago — a real, current number?

Most homeowners don't. And that's worth fixing, because there's a decent chance that number has six figures behind it.

The typical mortgaged homeowner now has about $310,500 in equity, according to Cotality. That equity can shrink your next monthly payment, let you skip financing altogether (nearly 1 in 3 repeat buyers paid cash last year), or even fund a renovation instead of a move.

Here's something worth knowing: online estimates from sites like Zillow and Redfin can be way off — sometimes by $60,000 to $120,000 depending on which site you check. We pull 4-6 different estimates, treat them as a starting reference point only, then use our real experience completing Broker Price Opinions for banks to arrive at an accurate number.

If it's been a while since someone gave your home's value an honest look, let's change that.
