Beth Botkin, words cannot express how grateful we are for you! You helped us realize our dream of home ownership. After trying literally for years to buy a home and getting beat out by cash offers, investors and people that could afford to pay way more for a property than we could. You pointed us in the right direction and now our dream has become a reality. By walking us through every aspect and giving us your expert advice by pointing us in the right direction. Now we are Home owners!!!I am so very happy and proud to call you friend and now neighbor!!! Your the real estate whisperer! Thank you thank you thank you

This woman is a superhero without a cape. When you see something that you think it's impossible she will make it a reality. As first time home buyers we had A LOT of questions. Beth responded promptly, respectfuly and genuinly. She guided us in every step of the process supporting us with her knowlege and even emotionally. No matter what time of the day it was she was constantly working to help us achieve our goal. Her networking with inspectors, lenders, etc. made our home buying process so smooth that we closed within three weeks of making our offer. I recommend her 100%. Thank you Beth for making our dream posible. We really appreciate you. Karla and Aby

Some Agents just tell you they are a full service Agents…and then there is Beth Botkin. I was selling my first home “makeover” and scouting the comps in the neighborhood only to stumble into Beth hosting an open house for a coworker. What a breath of fresh air. Genuine interest in my story we quickly became a perfect partnership. Stress became excitement and with her knowledge and energy it inspired the power to make those final choices. Then it was just pure fun going live. She has it all. Marketing strategy, eye for design detail, part-time therapist full time cheerleader. She was attentive and timely to every deadline. If you want fresh ideas and a super negotiator with a heart of gold look no further. She is truly only happy when the perfect match of buyer/seller is made. It was a joy to work with Beth and I can’t wait to do it again.

Questions & Answers

Is now a good time to sell my home? I don't know where I'll go or if I'll be able to buy something else!

Now is a GREAT time to sell your home. Right now, it's a seller's market. This means there are currently more buyers in the market than sellers. Most homes are not sitting on the market long, and are selling for over asking price, with multiple offers. This means you need to develop a really good strategy to purchase a home if you're going to sell yours and there are a lot of options to do that. Your Realtor can research your desired areas to move to and work hand in hand with you to come up with a winning plan that you will feel comfortable with. This could mean, asking for a leaseback on your sale, moving into a short-term rental while you look for a home after you sell, having a contingency in your offers, etc. The point is, there are a lot of options for you, and if you can take advantage of the seller's market to list your home, you should!

Prices are crazy and I can't afford to buy a home right now. What are my options?

You have a lot of options! First, renting or living with family is a great way to continue to save money and build up a healthy down payment and budget for buying a home. Another option, that most people don't consider, is buying a townhome or a condo. The most competitive market is the single family residence market (a traditional home), but looking at townhomes or condos can get you into home ownership at a lower entry point for price, sometimes maintenance is covered with HOAs, and you can build equity while you wait to upgrade your home later on!

What's the difference between a buyer's and seller's market?

A buyer's market is when there are over 7 months of inventory of homes available for purchase. A seller's market is when there are under 6 months of homes available for purchase. A neutral market means there are 6-7 months of homes available to purchase.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Depending on the lender, and loan product you select (your Realtor and lender will guide you through this process), a down payment can be as low as 0%, 3.5%, 5%, or 20%. You don't need a full 20% down to buy a home!

What do you need to budget for when buying a home?

Your two biggest expenses are going to be your down payment and your closing costs. Your closing costs are costs associated with the buying and lending process (loan fees, survey, appraisal, lawyer & title fees, escrow deposits for taxes and insurance, etc). And then your down payment is how much you will be contributing towards the purchase price of your home at closing. Down payments can range from 0% up to the full purchase price of the home (if not taking a loan) and everywhere in between, depending on the loan type, or if you're outright buying the property. Additional expenses that come out of pocket right away when you go under contract on a home are Earnest and Option Money. These are generally credited at closing if you fulfill the contract. However, if you back out of a contract, depending on the terms, these could be forfeited if you walk away from the deal.
