How We’re Different From The Competition

Any Real Estate Broker can list your property on the MLS, but a truly successful selling experience takes much more work. You need to have a plan of action to get your house in front of the right buyers at the right times. You need to finely craft and deliver the right marketing message and do whatever it takes to set your house apart from the others on the market. At Cari4Homes, we have the experience (over 1,600 area properties sold) and the market knowledge to help you sell your house fast and for a great price.

We go above and beyond to sell your area house fast and charge a reasonable and straightforward commission.

Our Process Is Simple

We’ll research your house and provide a FREE Home Value Report

We’ll recommend a target “sale price” and describe exactly how we arrived at it. We are an open book, ask us anything at any time!

We will offer a flexible listing agreement, with a fair commission.

We handle all the details to get your house sold fast! Leave everything to us!

Let Our Local Selling Experience Save You Time and Reduce Your Stress !

If you decide to list with a cut-rate broker or sell on your own, the property might sit on the market for a while. When it sits too long, it becomes stale, losing its appeal to potential buyers. The longer you continue to own it, the more money it is costing you. We work with sellers all the time who’ve tried to sell with a less experienced broker, only to find themselves stuck with the house when the listing expires. These sellers inevitably call us to help with their home selling needs.

Between our experience, unique marketing and winning sales strategies, we will help you sell easily, reducing the average days on market! We believe in providing amazing service, so you can move on with your life!

April Fools’ Day & Real Estate: Don’t Get Fooled When Buying or Selling a Home! 🤪

by Cari Pelayo

April 1st is the one day a year when pranks, jokes, and harmless trickery are expected. But when it comes to buying or selling a home, getting fooled is no laughing matter.

The real estate world is full of myths, misconceptions, and—let’s be honest—a few shady tricks that can trip up even the savviest buyers and sellers. So, in honor of April Fools’ Day, let’s expose some real estate “foolery” you’ll want to avoid!

1️⃣ Home Buying Myths That Will Fool You

🤥 Myth: “You Need a 20% Down Payment to Buy a Home.”
🚫 Truth: While a 20% down payment can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI), it’s NOT required. Many buyers qualify for loans with 3-5% down—and VA or USDA loans may require 0% down!

🤥 Myth: “The Listing Price is the Final Price.”
🚫 Truth: In a hot market, bidding wars often push the price higher. On the flip side, overpriced homes may sit unsold, leading to price cuts later. A great agent (hey, that’s me! 😉) can help strategize the best offer.

🤥 Myth: “You Should Always Wait for the Market to Cool Down.”
🚫 Truth: Trying to time the market is like waiting for the perfect April Fools’ prank—you never know when it’s coming. Interest rates and home prices fluctuate, but the best time to buy is when you’re financially ready.

2️⃣ Home Selling Myths That Will Cost You Big Time

🤥 Myth: “You Can Sell Your Home As-Is and Expect Top Dollar.”
🚫 Truth: Sure, you can sell as-is, but small upgrades (like fresh paint, staging, and minor repairs) can increase your sale price significantly. Homes that look move-in ready attract more buyers and sell 30% faster.

🤥 Myth: “You Should Price Your Home High and Negotiate Down.”
🚫 Truth: Overpricing scares buyers away, and your home may sit on the market longer. Homes priced right from the start get more interest and better offers.

🤥 Myth: “Online Home Valuations Are Always Accurate.”
🚫 Truth: Those instant online home estimates (you know the ones) can be off by thousands of dollars. A local market analysis from a real estate pro gives you the real number.

3️⃣ Real Estate “Tricks” to Watch Out For

😱 Hidden Fees & Costs – Some buyers forget to budget for closing costs, HOA fees, or moving expenses. Sellers, don’t forget agent commissions and repairs that could pop up!

🎭 Photos That Fool You – That huge backyard? Wide-angle lens. That bright kitchen? Professional lighting. Always see the home in person to get the real feel.

🚩 Sketchy “Too-Good-To-Be-True” Deals – A crazy low price? A seller that only accepts wire transfers? If it seems like a scam, it probably is.

🎉 April Fools? Not With Me! Let’s Get Serious About Real Estate!

The real estate world can be tricky, but with the right agent, strategy, and knowledge, you won’t be the one getting fooled.
