The sounds of the Amesbury. 📣 See you Wednesday! 😉

How do you get multiple strong offers in a market where sellers are feeling nervous? You create the perfect storm. The right timing. The right pricing. The right presentation. The kind of marketing that makes buyers feel like, “We have to see this house.” Because our sellers didn’t just want a sign in the yard and random showings trickling in for weeks. Timeline mattered. Money mattered. They wanted a smooth sale with strong terms and real options to choose from. So that’s what we built. We created momentum, must-have-it energy, and the kind of competition that gives sellers leverage instead of stress. In the end, our sellers had multiple strong offers, a timeline that worked for their family, and an easy sale- exactly what they hoped for. We will do the same for you, when you need us. With a proven strategy that creates exceptional results. Molly Smith 📲 508.980.9042 📧 molly.smith@exprealty.com Senior Partner, The Lisa Sevajian Group Licensed MA + NH, eXp Realty

📣The interest rate quote that made you gag and say “we should put our search on hold “ is *NEGOTIABLE*. The rate you’re offered isn’t take-it-or-leave-it, not with us on your side. Let me show you. You want to buy a house that fits your dogs, your kids, and your cars for around $700,000. Your lender tells you the current rate is around 6.45%. You want a deal, so you tell me to go negotiate $20,000 off the price. Waste of energy. BORING. That’s barely noticeable, about $100/month. If I negotiate that SAME $20,000 toward a permanent rate buy down instead from around 6.45% closer to 5.75%. I just saved you $250 EVERY month. 📣Close to $90,000 over the life of the mortgage. That’s real money. Or maybe I do some digging, and I learn the smarter move is a temporary 2-1 buydown. Instead of starting at 6.45%, your payments could look more like this: Year 1 rate: 4.45% Year 2 rate: 5.45% Years 3 rate 6.45% Now, somewhere between 1-3, IF the rate comes down, you make moves to refinance with one of our amazing home lenders. Now let’s say I get the seller to come down in price AND give you a rate buy down AND make some repairs....Now you walk away saying things like this “Molly was exceptionally well prepared to fight to keep my money in my pocket”..... Our job is NOT just opening doors and sending listings. We figure out how to structure the deal in a way that actually improves your monthly life and saves you real money. That could mean: • saving around $690/month the first year • saving around $350/month the second year • roughly $12,500 in reduced payments during the first two years alone That’s money staying in YOUR bank account while you settle into the house, furnish it, pay off debt, build savings, or wait to refinance later if rates improve. Because here’s the part buyers need to understand: You can refinance the RATE. You cannot rewind time and buy the house for yesterday’s price. This is why who you hire matters. Everyone negotiates price. Very few agents know how to negotiate structure. This is the smile I reserve to tell my clients they got the house AND the deal. It’s eerily similar to the one they give right back ☺️😁

I’m a mom, both dogs and kids, I’m a real estate strategist, and I treat your move like it actually matters- because it does. Here’s who works with me and loves the experience: People who are serious about buying or selling, not just “seeing what’s out there” People who value clear communication, honest feedback, and a real plan People who want an agent who will tell them the truth, not just what they want to hear People who value that I run a professional, family‑friendly business with a clear communication plan - so I’m not blowing up your phone during nap time, office hours, or date night If you’re looking for someone to open every door in town “just for fun,” I’m probably not your person (and that’s okay). If you want a smart, organized, a‑little‑stubborn-in-your-favor agent who will treat your time, money, and energy like her own, we’ll get along great. If you’re reading this thinking, “That sounds like me,” send me a message that says “RIGHT FIT” and I’ll walk you through exactly how I work with my clients from first conversation to keys in hand.

Some homes just feel right the second you walk in. This one has that feeling. Warm, welcoming, and a backyard that makes you want to stay awhile.

If you’re going to negotiate, go BIG. You don’t want $10,000 off the asking price. You want more. Most buyers think the win is getting the seller to come down on price. What most never realize is that small price reduction barely changes their monthly payment. Meanwhile, that SAME money could potentially be negotiated toward: •⁠ ⁠a lower monthly payment •⁠ ⁠a rate buydown •⁠ ⁠closing cost credits •⁠ ⁠repairs •⁠ ⁠flexibility with cash after closing Same value to seller. Completely different outcome for the buyer’s finances. That’s the difference between negotiating emotionally… and negotiating strategically. The goal isn’t just getting the house for less. The goal is putting yourself in the strongest financial position possible AFTER you own it. That’s the part almost nobody talks about. I help people buy smarter.
