Questions about selling and buying in El Paso
Here are the questions I hear when someone is planning a sale or their next move. The answers give us a starting point. Your home, timing, and financing will shape the details.
Who is Jese Gonzalez?
I’m Jese Gonzalez, The Real Estate Matchmaker, with Keller Williams Realty in El Paso. I’m a solo agent with over 20 years of experience, focused on sellers and people planning their next move.
Will I work directly with you?
Yes. You’ll work directly with me on pricing, preparation, offers, and the details that keep your move on track. I’ll explain your options and keep you informed so you can make decisions at your own pace.
How will you help me price my home?
I’ll compare recent nearby sales, your home’s condition, and the homes buyers can choose from now. You’ll see what supports the suggested range before we set a list price.
What costs should I plan for when selling?
Your costs depend on your mortgage payoff, closing fees, taxes, and the terms you negotiate. I’ll walk you through an estimated net sheet so you can plan around what you may keep from the sale.
How much time should I allow to buy?
Finding a home and closing on it are separate parts of the timeline. Once you’re under contract, financing, inspections, and the agreed closing date shape the schedule. I’ll help you coordinate it with your sale if you have one.
How long does it take to sell in El Paso?
The timing depends on your home’s price, condition, location, and competition. I’ll review nearby sales and current listings with you, then keep you informed as showings and feedback come in.
When does a price adjustment make sense?
I’ll look at showing activity, buyer feedback, nearby competition, and how your home is presented. If buyers are finding stronger value elsewhere, we’ll discuss whether a price change or another adjustment makes sense.
What if my home didn’t sell?
I’ll review the pricing, photos, marketing, showing activity, and buyer feedback with you. Then I’ll explain what I’d change before you decide whether to relist.
Can you help me sell and buy my next home?
Yes. I’ll help you plan the sale and purchase together, with your lender involved early. The order depends on your financing, whether you need sale proceeds, and how much overlap or temporary housing you can manage.
What should I know about earnest money?
Earnest money is a deposit handled under the purchase contract. The amount, delivery deadline, and conditions for its release matter, so I’ll review them with you before you make an offer.
When should I talk with a lender?
Before you commit to a home or a moving timeline. Your lender can review your financing options, cash needed, and whether your purchase depends on selling your current home.
What should I fix before listing?
Start with a walkthrough before spending money. I’ll help you identify repairs, cleaning, and simple presentation changes that matter for your home and budget.
Where do I start if I’m thinking of selling?
Tell me about your home, your timing, and what you want to do next. The home-value review form on my homepage gives me a starting point, and I’ll follow up personally.
