This is a real conversation with a client I didn’t stage this for a video, this is me actually talking through it with first time home buyers trying to compete in today’s market If your agent isn’t explaining the process in detail, it might be worth a switch I love talking about the market and how to strategize, it doesn’t matter if you’re ready now or a year from now Getting information and plan will help you win Dm if I can help you or anyone you know understand the risks and rewards of today’s market #realestate #appraisal #win #closewithkopec

Today I got to live out an actual dream of mine… A microphone, a message, and a room full of my peers… Thank you to all those who shared a kind word and positive feedback. Thank you to @ronaiosa for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to open this event 🙏 This may only be the beginning 👀

That’s right I said it! I’m tired of getting beat out by all cash offers going 100k over list! I’m tired of not getting the home when we go 14% over list and still don’t get it! I’m being honest, that’s how I felt this morning. I was frustrated and honestly I was discouraged… But the I remembered… the market doesn’t care about my feelings and my people NEED me Then the universe gave me a reminder that it’s the persistent who prosper 💪 #universe #growth #closewithkopec #realestate #northjersey

Had to check out Federici’s Family Restaurant and it did not disappoint. Super thin crust, almost cracker-like, with this buttery flavor that hits right away. Definitely not your typical slice shop… this is a sit-down spot where you slow it down a bit and enjoy it. They’ve been doing this for 4+ generations and you can tell the recipe’s been dialed in over time. We kept it simple this time, but there are a bunch of different pies on the menu I’d go back for. If you’re into thin crust pizza, this one’s worth the trip. @federicisrestaurant #pizzafriday #thincrust #pizza #northjersey #njpizza

Pi day was EPIC this year! This is our third year making pizza kits for our people but this year we did it a little different We realized we can do more if we do it in person and what a blast we had! We hit a little road bump when our pizza chef got food poisoning the night before the event but we pivoted and made it work (we’re used to overcoming curveballs) Big shout out to @mr.mortgage.man and @mynameisdank for helping to make this day come to fruition and always taking great care of our clients See you next year?! 🍕🗓️ #pizza #piday #pizzakit #closewithkopec

I hear this all the time when I’m sitting with sellers… “This one’s putting more down, so that’s the better offer, right?” Not always. A bigger down payment can make a deal feel stronger. Usually it means the buyer has more flexibility, and if something like an appraisal comes in low, they’ve got room to cover the gap. From a seller’s perspective, that can feel like a safer bet. But here’s the part most people don’t think about… The down payment isn’t what gets you to the closing table, the terms and loan do. I’ve seen buyers putting less down close without a single issue. And I’ve seen buyers putting a lot down still have deals fall apart halfway through. What actually matters more is how solid the buyer is overall, how clean the terms are, and how likely this deal is to make it all the way to closing without problems. So when I’m helping a seller choose an offer, I’m not just looking at who’s putting the most money down… I’m looking at which one is the least likely to blow up. Because at the end of the day, the best offer isn’t the one that looks the best on paper, It’s the one that actually closes. If you’re thinking about selling and want help breaking down offers like this, shoot me a message.

And important tip for real estate agents helping sellers… #baking #muffin #closewithkopec #realestate #northjersey
