FAQs: for sellers

How much is my home worth?

1

Your home’s value is based on recent comparable sales, condition, location, and current market demand. I provide a detailed market analysis to price your home strategically not just competitively, but to maximize your return.

What should I do before listing?

2

Simple updates can make a big impact. Decluttering, light cleaning, and minor repairs. I’ll walk through your home with you and recommend only what’s worth your time and investment.

When is the best time to sell?

3

The best time is when it aligns with your goals, timeline, and life transition.

Many homes go under contract within the first weekend if priced and marketed correctly.

4

How long will it take to sell?

What happens after I accept an offer?

5

We move into inspections, appraisal, and buyer financing. I manage negotiations, timelines, and communication so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

FAQs: Buyers

How much can I afford?

1

This depends on your income, debt, and current interest rates. The best first step is getting pre-approved with a trusted lender so we can confidently shop within a comfortable range that supports your lifestyle not stretches it.

Do I need to be pre-approved before we start looking?

2

Yes. Pre-approval strengthens your offer and ensures we’re focusing on homes that are realistic for you. It also allows us to move quickly when the right home comes along.

How much money do I need upfront?

3

Typically, buyers should plan for:

  • Down payment (often 3–20%)

  • Closing costs (about 2–5% of purchase price)

Earnest deposit (due shortly after your offer is accepted)
I’ll walk you through all of this so there are no surprises

How long does the home buying process take?

4

From offer to closing, most transactions take about 30–45 days. The home search timeline varies, but I’ll guide you through each step at a pace that feels right for you.

What happens after my offer is accepted?

4

We move into inspections, appraisal, and financing. I coordinate timelines, negotiate on your behalf if needed, and keep everything on track all the way to closing.

  • We cannot thank The Walsh Blumenstock Team enough for her dedication and tireless effort in helping us find our perfect home. From the very beginning, they were attentive and deeply committed to understanding our needs (even when we didn’t know what we needed). They went above and beyond at all hours—responding quickly to messages, setting up multiple viewings, and providing valuable insight into each property we considered.

  • The Walsh Blumenstock Team is a wonderful team who truly cares about their clients. They worked hard for us to find our dream home and sell our current home. They made the purchase and sale process incredibly easy for us and we knew they were there for us every step of the way! After such a great experience with The Walsh Blumenstock Team we even called them a few years later to purchase our first investment property. Keriann isn’t just our Realtor, she's a life long friend and we appreciate her guidance every step of the way.

  • Keriann is great. Oh, you want to know more? Well, my wife and I were buying our first home and, naturally, we were nervous, scared, no, terrified about the process. We heard all of the horror stories about buying a home and were constantly on edge and defensive as we looked on all of the real estate websites for our “forever home.” That was until we were introduced to Keriann. Right from the beginning she calmed us down and walked us through what would become a two-month process with multiple searches, multiple offers, and (finally) a nerve-racking settlement process.

  • I have been working with the Walsh Blumenstock Team since 2018, and there’s a reason I continue to trust Keriann with every step of my real estate journey. From purchasing investment properties in Philadelphia, helping me find my own rental home, or growing my rental portfolio in Bristol Borough. She has not only helped me identify and purchase properties, but has also provided valuable insight on renovations and successfully rented them out for us. No matter what my next goal is, she consistently makes the process feel seamless and achievable. Her communication, drive, and ability to get things done truly set her apart. I would highly recommend Keriann and the Walsh Blumenstock Team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, proactive, and stress-free real estate experience.”
