Congratulations! A growing family is a wonderful change to look forward too.

And upgrading your living space is a common reaction to a family about to outgrow their current space.

The new house may not cost more.


This might be counterintuitive to many but not all neighborhoods, communities, or cities are same. For example, owning a home in the right neighborhood in the heart of a city often demands a greater price than a home sitting in the burbs’. Are there tradeoffs? Sure. But don’t automatically assume a higher monthly mortgage payment simply because you need space for a cavernous man cave – I mean, spacious family room.


But, it probably will cost more.


Moving into a larger space often means having to fill that space – this means, more furniture and décor. This may also mean more house and landscape maintenance, high utility bills, and sometimes, higher transportation costs if moving a bit further from your place of employment.

 

Consider Your Timing.


Most folks do not want two mortgages – and in highly competitive markets, contingency sales are not ideal in winning your dream home. Speaking with Jerod Lee on how best to time your present home sale while shopping for your new home is the best place to start. Jerod Lee will take into consideration up-to-date real estate data they have exclusive access, local trends, and using their professional experience, formulate a plan that best mitigates timing concerns.


Sell Before Your Buy.


Ideally, you’ll want to sell your home before you buy your next home. This represents a lot of moving parts and you’ll want Jerod Lee in the middle of it all to help coordinate the process. Resist the urge to celebrate your home as being sold simply because you have an offer – your home is not sold until it closes.


Consider Her Timing.


Getting in and out of the car, looking at homes, going up and down stairs, packing – let’s be honest, doing much of anything while you’re near your due date just isn’t a good time. Once the new baby arrives, time and energy will become an even more precious commodity. But, just because you’re not prepared to truly buy your next home until your present one sells doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look with Jerod Lee. Time looking at homes, hearing your likes and dislikes, sheds light on your personality and other intangibles often not expressed during the initial discussions regarding your needs/wants in your next home. You’ll find that as time progresses, Jerod Lee is able to really show you properties that hit all your points. And they’ll keep an eye out for your perfect home and be ready when your current home closes.

    Jerod Lee was very awesome, the best realtor my husband and I have ever had . My husband sold our 3rd house for almost 21 yrs and he was very professional, friendly, honest, personable and not a fast talker or a game player which my husband and I have had before, he was a fresh of breath air.Jerod made selling our house fast and very easy for us since we have not lived in Idaho for 8 years and was using our house in Boise as a 2 nd home,I highly recommend Jerod as a realtor and when my husband and I do move back to Idaho., I will use Jerod once again,

    Knowledgeable, responsive, and kind -- Jerod helped us quickly navigate a challenging seller's market in downtown Boise to purchase a condo that hit each of our needs (and most of our wants).Jerod suggested offering a quick close to help bring the seller closer to our preferred price (and it worked!), and his team delivered on getting an inspection done within a few days, organizing Title, utilities, documents, etc... they were so on top of each of the details, in such a short period. Jerod responded to early morning texts and late night calls, and we appreciated his (and team's) expertise at each step.Along with the above, Jerod is wonderful to work with. He was kind and attentive to our young children, friendly and respectful to us, and expecially thoughtful to our COVID concerns. His team left us the wonderful surprise of an Idaho gift basked when we moved in, and Jerod treated us to a celebratory lunch at a cafe down the block. We'll look forward to staying in touch, even when not buying/selling a home.

    I could not have asked for a better home buying experience. As a first time buyer, I was very nervous and not the most knowledgeable on the process. Jerod is extremely transparent, knowledgeable and a delight to work with. He is communicative in all aspects and will explain anything you want to know about the process. He made my home purchase a breeze and I will gladly work with him again. I highly recommend anybody to work with Jerod for their real estate needs. True professional.
