Step by Step Process to Buying A Home

Spring is here!
The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.
In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.
This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.
If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.
Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

From our first meeting, Mark showed himself to be a true real estate professional with a deep knowledge of not only the market, but also of everything needed to get the most value for your home. Whether it's help with home repair, staging, professional photography or marketing, Mark has all the tools needed to get the job done. My home sold very quickly and for more than I thought possible. I could not be happier with my experience with The Perkins Group.
Mark helped me through all of the steps and made it painless from start to finish. After helping me purchase my new home, he turned his talents to selling my old home which basically sold within 24 hours. That whole process went very well. I highly recommend Mark and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They are the best!
When Mark came to my home, I was impressed with his professionalism and particularly liked the flexible commission structure. I listed my home with them, and it sold quickly at a great price. Mark's team took care of everything, even coordinating some repairs to my home when I was out of town. As it turned out, I needed to return to the Phoenix area a few months later, and found out Mark and his team do an excellent job with buying homes as well.
