Warm and Personal Approach

We worked with Team Junell on selling our property in Reno and we loved their warm and personal approach which made communication very easy.

We loved their extensive knowledge and and keen observance of the market, their integrity and consistency in dealing with things small and big, their hard work to make the best of any opportunity and the talent of bringing it all together for the good of all parties involved.

It was a rare experience of a blended professionalism and human kindness. Thank you!

Easy to Talk to and Helpful

The first day I met Annette, her smile was inspiring and impressive. I could tell right away that Annette was an honest person when I first met her. She was so easy to talk to and very helpful as well. I have already talked with my cousin about using the Junell Realty Group to sell their house in the future too!

Very professional and highly competent

Brett and Annette sold my home and did a fantastic job. They were very professional in recommending steps to take to maximize my returns, advising on what “catch-up” items I should take care of before going to market, but also what items I should leave “as-is” so the buyer could make their own choices.

The contractors they recommended were responsive and professional, and very important – reasonably priced. There was never any pressure, just presentation of my alternatives and explanation of timelines. I’ve sold several previous homes in other areas, this was by far the easiest and most professional team I’ve worked with.

All in all, very professional, sensitive to the fact that this was my home at the time, and never felt I was being pushed.

If I had another house to sell, I would definitely have this team handle the transaction.

Truly appreciated your professionalism

Brett assisted us with our home sale and while we were originally going to use the agent that found our house for us, we decided we wanted someone a little more aggressive – since we were selling and not buying.

Brett is VERY professional and VERY hands on. The entire real estate transaction was “pain free” and seamless.

Brett was extremely easy to work with, and he kept us in the loop throughout the entire process. Our house sold quickly and we rec’d our asking price.

Both Tommy and I truly appreciated your professionalism. Please don’t hesitate to have any of your new clients call us for a referral.

Thinking Of Selling? Now May Be The Time

It is common knowledge that a large number of homes sell during the spring buying season. For that reason, many homeowners hold off putting their home on the market until then. The question is whether or not that will be a good strategy this year.

The other listings that do come out in the spring will represent increased competition to any seller. Do a greater number of homes actually come to the market in the spring compared to the rest of the year? The National Association of Realtors (NAR) revealed a couple of years ago which months and days of the year most people list their home. Here is a graphic showing the results:

The circles represent the ten most popular listing dates. We can see that all ten days are in the second quarter of the year. The months in red represent which months most people put their home on the market. Again, the three months in the second quarter are most active for listings – the time of year when sellers have the most competition.

What does this mean to you?

With a strong local job market and mortgage interest rates projected to rise later in the year, buyers are not waiting until the spring. They are out looking for a home right now.

If you are looking to sell this year, waiting until the spring to list your home means you are putting your house on the market at a time you will have the greatest competition for your buyer. It may make sense to beat that rush of housing inventory to the market and list your home today. Call us at 775-432-6300 to beat the rush.

#1 Reason to Sell Now

If you are one of the many homeowners out there who are debating putting their home on the market in 2015, don’t miss out on the opportunity that currently exists.

There will be significantly less competition in the winter months than in the spring. According to the National Housing Survey released by Fannie Mae, 45% of homeowners “say mortgage rates will go up in the next 12 months.”

What Does This Mean?

Homeowners are unaware that interest rates are projected to go up by all four major reporting institutions – This is big news for move-up buyers reflecting the overall amount of housing inventory that will be on the market. If existing homeowners believe that mortgage interest rates are not going to increase, then they won’t be inclined to make a move by putting their home up for sale, meaning less competition for sellers who list now.

Don’t Wait!

The study also revealed that:

“Those who say it is a good time to buy a house rose to 68%” & “the share of respondents who think it would be difficult to get a home mortgage today decreased by 3 percentage points.”

As Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae explains:

“We expect consumer attitudes toward housing to improve as the pickup in the overall economy lifts employment and income prospects.“

Bottom Line

There are buyers out there who are ready to make a move. If your goal this year is to move up to your dream home, what are you waiting for?
