Accurate Property Search – GCRTx

Posted on by

GCRIcon50x50Do you get frustrated when looking for properties on-line and then find out the ones you really like are no longer available? Although, the internet is a great resource for finding houses sometimes the sites don’t post the most up-to-date status for properties. Try using our website to get accurate data on the status of each house you find. As soon as a realtor uploads a new listing or changes the status of an active property to optioned, under contract or sold, our website will provide the same search results when you are looking for a property. Go to Golden Crescent Realty at http://www.gcrtx.com/ and click on the Property Search button.

You can narrow your search by listing price, area, square footage, number of bedrooms and many more parameters. Enjoy your search.

activeThe capital A means this property is Active and available.

optionedThe capital P means this property is Optioned. The seller has accepted an offer.

under contractThe capital U means this property is Under Contract.

Are you ready to buy a house?

Posted on by

GCRIcon50x50Besides talking with a lender to find out what you will qualify for in a home loan you will also want to look at your budget and figure out how much house you can afford. Fannie Mae recommends that buyers spend no more than 28% of their income on housing costs. You probably don’t want to go past 30% of your income or you risk becoming house poor.

Price Your Home Correctly

Posted on by

label_sale_redYour home is worth what the market will pay. The most important factor in selling your home is pricing it right. Sometimes it’s not how much you think it’s worth but how much the market says it’s worth. Before we list your home we will do comparables of like properties that have sold in the area in the past 6 months. We will look at amenities, square footage, location, and the number of bedrooms and baths. We will adjust pricing for such things as lot size, upgrades, layout, and the current condition of your home. We share all the data with you so you can make an informed decision on the list price of your home.

A REALTOR® can:

  • show you any property even if it’s another company’s listing
  • help you decide on what to offer for a property based on current data of ‘like’ properties sold
  • negotiate the contract for you and work to get you the best deal
  • help you with each step of the buying process
