FAQ - Working With Wynn

Do I need to get pre-approved before we start looking at homes?

Yes, yes and yes... it protects you. In a market like Lake Murray and Lexington, good homes move fast. Without a pre-approval letter, you can't make a competitive offer, and you risk losing the home you love to a buyer who was simply more prepared. I'll connect you with trusted lenders who can get you pre-approved quickly so we're ready to move when the right home appears.

How long does the home buying process take?

From pre-approval to keys in hand, most buyers are looking at 30 to 60 days once they're under contract. The search itself varies... some clients find their home in a week, others take a few months. What I focus on is making sure you never feel rushed into the wrong decision or slow to move on the right one. I'll keep you informed every step of the way so nothing catches you off guard.

What costs should I expect beyond the purchase price?

Great question... and one every buyer should ask early. Beyond your down payment, plan for closing costs (typically 2–5% of the loan amount), a home inspection, an appraisal, homeowner's insurance, and moving expenses. I walk every client through a full cost breakdown before we ever write an offer so there are absolutely no surprises at the closing table.

Do buyers pay the Realtor's commission?

This is one of the most important conversations we'll have upfront, and I believe in complete transparency. Commission structures have evolved, and as your buyer's agent I'll explain exactly how I'm compensated and what that means for you before we do anything else. You deserve to understand the full picture... no surprises, no confusion.

+What happens after my offer is accepted?
This is where things move fast, and I stay right beside you. We'll schedule inspections, review the results together, negotiate any repairs, work through the appraisal process, and keep the lender on track toward closing. I'll check in with you regularly so you always know where things stand. My goal is that by the time you sit down at the closing table, you feel confident... not anxious.

How do you determine what my home is worth?

Pricing is part data, part strategy. I run a detailed comparative market analysis.. looking at what similar homes in your area have actually sold for, what's currently on the market, and how long homes are sitting. Then I factor in what makes your home unique. My goal isn't to give you a number that makes you feel good... it's to give you a number that gets you top dollar and actually closes.

How should I prepare my home before listing?

First impressions are everything, and I'll walk through your home with you before we list to give you specific, honest guidance. Sometimes it's small things — decluttering, fresh paint, better lighting. Sometimes there's a repair worth making. I won't suggest spending money where it won't come back to you. Everything we do is intentional and designed to present your home at its absolute highest potential.

How long will it take to sell my home?

It depends on pricing, condition, and market timing... but when all three are right, homes move quickly. I've helped sellers receive full-price offers in under 24 hours. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the home is priced correctly, presented beautifully, and marketed to the right buyers before it ever hits the MLS. I'll be upfront with you about realistic timelines from day one.

What does your marketing strategy look like?

Your home deserves more than a sign in the yard and a listing on Zillow. Through The Patrick O'Connor Team and Coldwell Banker Realty... the #1 team in South Carolina... your property gets professional photography an videography, strategic online placement, targeted social media exposure, and access to a network of qualified buyers. I treat every listing like a luxury listing, because to you, it is.

Should I be home during showings?

No. Buyers need space to imagine themselves in the home, and they tend to move through more quickly and share less honest feedback when the seller is present. I'll give you guidance on how to prepare the home for each showing and keep you updated on feedback so you always know how it's going.

What if I need to buy a new home at the same time I'm selling?

This is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can face...and one I handle often. I recently helped a family sell their home at full price in under 24 hours and immediately helped them close on their forever home on the other side. Coordinating both sides of a move requires precise timing, clear communication, and an agent who doesn't drop the ball. That's exactly what I'm here for.

What happens if I receive multiple offers?

This is a great problem to have... and one that requires careful strategy. Not every offer is created equal. Price matters, but so do contingencies, financing type, closing timeline, and the strength of the buyer. I'll walk you through every offer in plain language, compare them side by side, and help you choose the one that's truly best for your situation... not just the highest number on paper.

What costs should I expect as a seller?

Sellers typically cover real estate commission, any agreed-upon repairs after inspection, closing costs, and potentially a home warranty if negotiated. I'll give you a full net sheet before we list...a clear picture of what you'll walk away with... so you can make decisions with confidence. No surprises. Ever.

What types of clients do you work with?

First-time buyers stepping into homeownership for the very first time. Growing families who've outgrown their space. Empty nesters ready to simplify and step into the next season. Families relocating to the Lake Murray, Lexington, and Columbia area who need someone to show them why this place feels like home. Every client is different — and every client gets the same level of care, preparation, and advocacy from me.

What makes you different from other Realtors?

I educate first. My clients never walk into a showing, an offer, an inspection, or a closing table feeling unsure about what's happening or why. I also go to bat... genuinely, unapologetically. My buyers have won bidding wars on homes listed less than 24 hours old. My sellers have received full-price offers in under a day. And I back all of that with the resources of the #1 Coldwell Banker team in South Carolina. You get a fighter and a team.

How do you communicate with your clients throughout the process?

However works best for you... call, text, or email. What I commit to is this: you will never have to chase me down for an update. I check in proactively, I respond quickly, and I make sure you always know exactly where things stand. Real estate has enough uncertainty built in. Communication shouldn't be one of them.

Do you specialize in the Lake Murray area?

Yes...and it's personal for me. Lake Murray isn't just a market I serve, it's a community I genuinely love. I understand the lifestyle it offers, the nuances of waterfront and water-access properties, and what buyers relocating to this area are really looking for. Whether you're dreaming of a life on the water or a neighborhood close to it, I can help you find the fit that's right for you.

How do I get started?

Just reach out. There's no commitment, no pressure, and no such thing as a question that's too basic. A quick call or message is all it takes to get the conversation started. From there, I'll listen to where you are, where you want to go, and we'll map out exactly what makes sense for you. I'd love to be your anchor through it.
