1/7/2019

Now that you are ready to buy a home in Minneapolis, you may want to explore all of your realty options. There are several ways you can save money securing a house that is right for you.

Below, we look at a few key ways to both save money and put a little back in your pocket on closing day.
1. Hire an Experienced Local Realtor
A reputable, local Realtor will save you time, money and a massive headache.

While there are many nationally-based that companies that may possess knowledge and expertise in the real estate market on a basic level, only a local realtor knows the local market and where the best home investments are at any given time throughout the year. A local agent will help you negotiate the sales contract and represent you on matters that may be difficult for you to navigate yourself.
2. Opt for a company that offers cash back to buyers
If you want to save money purchasing a home without missing out on the best buying opportunities, then partner with a flat-fee realty agency. The reason is simple: we provide all the same buyer representation services, protect your best interests and offer to share the commission we receive from the seller with you.

Flat-Fee services save both the buyer and the seller money. If the seller saves money from lower commissions, they are more willing to negotiate a price with you, the buyer. The flat-fee model creates a win-win situation for all parties involved.
3. Take Advantage of Home Buyer Cash Rebates
Nothing says savings like getting money back for your time and investment. Home Avenue offers a unique home buyer cash rebate for our clients. You will receive $500 for every hundred thousand of the sale price.

What can you do with a little extra cash back in your pocket?
4. Buy new appliances for your new home. Make improvements to your new home. 
Whether your find a FSBO listed on MLS or any other brokers listing on MLS, you qualify for the cash back program. 

If you buy a FSBO listed home you may also benefit because the seller isn’t forking over money for costs that realtors pass on to list, promote, and sell the house. In any situation where a seller is saving money to sell the home, they may be lower the asking price on the market or negotiate a price at the table.
