Best Practices for Property Searching
Use Smart Filters to Refine Your Search
Instead of browsing hundreds of listings, take advantage of advanced search filters to narrow down properties that truly fit your needs. Filter by:
✅ Price Range – Stay within your budget to ensure a comfortable purchase.
✅ Home Type – Single-family homes, townhomes, condos, or luxury estates.
✅ Bedrooms & Bathrooms – Ensure you get the right space for your needs.
✅ Location & Neighborhoods – Focus on areas that match your lifestyle.
✅ Amenities & Features – Want a pool, a large backyard, or a home office? Customize your search for must-have features.
Save Your Favorite Homes for Easy Access
When browsing listings, saving your favorite homes makes it easier to compare properties and track price changes.
⭐ Create an account to save and organize listings in one place.
🔔 Set up alerts to get notified if a home you love drops in price.
🏠 Keep notes on each home—what you like, concerns, and questions to ask.
Set Up Alerts for New Listings
In a competitive market like Charlotte, homes can sell quickly. Setting up instant property alerts will help you:
📩 Receive real-time notifications when a new listing meets your criteria.
📊 Monitor market trends to see how quickly homes are selling.
⏳ Act fast on opportunities to schedule showings before others do.
Schedule a Home Tour, In-Person or Virtual
Photos and descriptions only tell part of the story. Seeing a home in person (or through a virtual tour) gives you a better feel for the layout, neighborhood, and overall condition.
🏡 In-Person Tours – Walk through homes with Melissa’s expert guidance.
📹 Virtual Showings – Get a live video tour if you’re relocating or out of town.
📝 Bring a Checklist – Note key details like natural lighting, storage space, and potential renovations.

Make an Offer
Once you find “the one,” it’s time to submit a competitive offer.
💰 Review recent comparable home sales to determine a strong offer price.
✍️ Include important contingencies like financing, inspection, and appraisal.
⚖️ Negotiate terms with the seller (price, closing costs, repairs, etc.).
📄 Sign a purchase agreement and move toward the next phase.
Home Inspection & Appraisal
Before closing, you’ll need to ensure the home is in good condition and worth the price.
🔎 Home Inspection – A licensed inspector evaluates the home’s structure, systems, and potential issues.
📊 Appraisal – The lender requires an appraisal to confirm the home’s value matches the agreed-upon price.
🛠️ Negotiate repairs or credits if issues arise during the inspection.
Closing the Deal
Once all contingencies are satisfied, it’s time to finalize the purchase.
📑 Review and sign your closing documents (loan agreements, title transfer, disclosures).
💵 Pay closing costs (usually 2-5% of the home’s price).
🔑 Receive the keys to your new home and celebrate!
