You should look for a Realtor who lives, works, plays, and has a history in Central Illinois. While that might sound like common advice, it's an easy thing to overlook that could cost you time, money, and a less-than-optimal home selling experience.

They should also have a confident grip on past and current real estate market trends for the local area. Not only does Craig have the neighborhood insights you need, he also has strong real estate pricing expertise, advising on how to sell a home competitively.

A Realtor plays an indispensable role in streamlining and simplifying the often intricate and nerve-racking process of selling a house. They will often provide suggestions for home improvements or repairs that would maximize your home's appeal and final price. A Realtor should also provide guidance on staging your home in its best light, along with professional photography and virtual tours.  An experienced Realtor like Craig Buchanan have the in-depth market knowledge that helps your price your home competitively.  Realtors also handle the negotiations while also navigating the labyrinth of paperwork involved. With Craig by your side, the sale of your house becomes a seamless, stress-free experience. 

There is no fee until Craig sells your house. As with most Realtors and real estate agents, Craig is paid through a small percentage rate of the final sale price.

The time it takes to sell a home in Central Illinois can vary significantly. On average, it typically takes anywhere from a few weeks to several months to sell a home. Some homes may sell very quickly, within just a few days, while others may take longer, especially if they have special features or characteristics. To get a more accurate estimate of how long it might take to sell your specific property, consult with Champaign Realtor Craig Buchanan. He has a deep understanding of the current market conditions and can provide a personalized assessment based on your home's unique attributes.

It depends on how long it takes to find your perfect home. Once you make an offer, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days to negotiate with the seller. After an offer has been accepted, closing will typically happen 30-60 days later.

Again, it depends. As a market expert I can help you weigh the options you have. Sometimes you can make an offer below the asking price, but sometimes you need a strong, competitive offer.

Closing dates can change. Don't make any concrete decisions based on this date until we are done with inspections and appraisals. If we need more time, we can ask for an extension.

The title company performs the closing, and they will let you know exactly how much money you need to bring to the closing table. Ideally, you will know at least a day or two in advance.
