Sponsored by: Renovation Realty and Fairway Independent Mortgage San Diego remains one of the hottest and most competitive real estate markets in the country. And whether you’re buying or selling a home, we have two trusted sources to help you out. Keith Christian from Renovation Realty and Wendy Rosenthal from Fairway Independent Mortgage join our Laura Cavanaugh to share tips you need to know to navigate the real estate market in America’s Finest City. Renovation Realty provides a turnkey service that people are looking for. Some of the most common reasons San Diegans work with Renovation Realty are either planned or unexpected life events, like inheriting a home or downsizing. “We would go in and do the repairs that are needed, maybe upgrade the house, maybe a full renovation. Whatever the house needs, we’ll do it, get it ready for sale,” said Christian. “We spend our own money, our own time. We turn it over to a licensed agent. They sell the house. The seller gets all the profit. We get paid through escrow and there are no out-of-pocket costs.” Renovation Realty prepares, renovates and lists the property to help the seller achieve maximum profit. If you’re selling a home, and you want to sell fast and for top dollar, call Renovation Realty at (800) 643-6060 or visit renovationrealty.com. Wendy Rosenthal from Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation says the first thing any prospective buyer should do is to get a pre-approval letter. “Our Fairway Advantage Pre-Approval program lets the sellers know that you are fully pre-approved to buy a home,” said Rosenthal. “Even better yet, we have extended rate lock options where we can lock in your rate for up to 360 days, that’s almost a year. If rates do go down, you do get that lower rate.” Call or text Wendy to get moving on that pre-approval at (619) 581-3110.
