frequently asked questions

You ask? I answer.

Do I need a pre-approval letter?

Yes! Pre-Qualification is an informal you “might qualify for”, non-committal determination by the lender or mortgage broker. Pre-Approval is a formal determination in writing, subject to collecting all needed documentation, on a loan amount up to a specified amount from the lender or mortgage broker. You will receive a letter of pre-approval, which gives you more negotiating power and leverage over a buyer that is not pre-approved. Additionally, you have a price range to work in and we can start the search!

Do you work with first time buyers?

Yes, working with first-time home buyers is a rewarding and fulfilling experience! By providing tailored guidance and educational support, I aim to empower them to make informed decisions and achieve their homeownership dreams. From conducting market research to assisting with property searches and negotiating favorable terms, I prioritize personalized attention to ensure each buyer feels confident and prepared throughout the journey. Guiding first-time buyers isn’t just about facilitating a transaction; it’s about building trust, fostering understanding, and ultimately helping them embark on a new chapter of their lives with excitement and confidence.

How do I make an offer?

Prior to submitting an offer, I will thoroughly review the contract with you to ensure that you comprehend all clauses, terms, sections, and contingencies. Once the purchase agreement is finalized, it will be forwarded to the listing agent.

What if I have to sell my current home in order to buy?

If selling your current home is a prerequisite for purchasing a new one, we’ll strategically plan the process to accommodate your needs. This involves listing your current home, ensuring it’s attractively priced and effectively marketed to potential buyers. We’ll coordinate the timing of your sale and purchase to minimize any gaps and negotiate terms that prioritize your interests. With a tailored approach we’ll work together to facilitate a smooth transition from selling your current home to securing your new one.

I'm worried about underpricing. Can we list high to test the market?

Setting the right price for a home is crucial when listing it for sale, as it greatly influences the outcome of the sale. Overpricing a home can lead to prolonged time on the market, potentially causing it to lose appeal. Homes that linger unsold may raise doubts among buyers and their agents, complicating the selling process even if the price is eventually lowered. Accurately pricing a home from the outset is key to attracting buyers and maximizing the chances of a successful sale.

What is the current market value of my property?

Determining the current market value of your property relies on various factors such as location, size, condition, recent sales of comparable properties, and market trends. To provide an accurate assessment, it’s essential to schedule an appointment for me to view your home. This will enable me to evaluate its features and condition accurately. Following the assessment, I’ll be able to offer insights into the potential value of your property in today’s market.

Why I Work by Referral

I prioritize relationships over transactions. Unlike some real estate agents who adopt a transactional mindset, focusing solely on identifying clients, closing deals, and swiftly moving on, my approach is different. I rely primarily on referrals from those who know and trust me. By investing time in building genuine connections within my referral program, I can fully dedicate myself to activities that best serve my clients, consistently providing exceptional service.

Referral Program

I'm never too busy for your referrals. If you're interested in learning more about my referral program, I'd love to meet for a cup of coffee or tea on me or just give me a call!

If you ever wonder what a realtor should be like, Kelly is the definition of that! She will fight for you and make sure you’re getting the best care.

She explained things in a simple way that made sense for us newbies. She broke down each step and explained what to expect during its phase. I’m telling you, if you are looking to buy a house Kelly is your realtor . My wife and I are eternally grateful to have found such an amazing realtor. 10,000 % recommend her to anyone with any questions.

Mahesh S.

Kelly DeLuca was an amazing real estate agent to work with and helped me every step of the way. This was the first house I had sold and didn't know what I was doing. I don't know what I would have done without her and would greatly encourage anyone to work with Kelly given the opportunity. Her guidance and counsel will always be remembered by my family and I can't thank her enough.
