Highly Recommend . Chris helped us both sell our home and buy our new home. He was very patient as it took almost a year to find what we were looking for. He’s extremely professional, knowledgeable and truly cares that his clients find what they are looking for. Great communication and makes himself available short notice. I’d highly recommend working with Chris!

Vision Realty: Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Vision Realty for my Fargo-Moorhead move?▼
Since 2015, we have managed **500+ successful closings** across the Red River Valley. Licensed in ND and MN, we provide a unified team approach that ensures someone is always available, whether you're buying in South Fargo or a rural farmstead in Clay County.
Which specific areas do you cover?▼
We cover 18 primary communities in the FM metro, including West Fargo and Horace, as well as rural gems like Argusville, Kindred, and Barnesville.
Do you specialize in specific types of real estate?▼
Yes. Our team specializes in three core pillars: **First-Time Buyer Grants**, **New Construction Builder Relations**, and **Rural Property Assessments** (including well, septic, and agricultural zoning expertise).
Can you compare North Dakota and Minnesota living costs?▼
Absolutely. We provide real-time comparisons between **ND's lower property taxes** and **MN's top-rated school districts** to help you maximize your purchasing power based on your specific financial goals.
How do you determine my home's value?▼
We perform a deep-dive Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using real-time local data and neighborhood-level demand trends to ensure your home is priced to sell within 3% of market value.
What is the "Fiduciary Advantage" with Vision Realty?▼
Unlike transactional agents, we act as your financial advocates. We analyze the "Total Cost of Ownership," including special assessments and tax variances, to ensure your home is a sound long-term investment.
Do I need a Realtor for New Construction in West Fargo or Horace?▼
**Yes.** The model home salesperson represents the builder. We represent **you**. We negotiate incentive stacking (like rate buy-downs) and manage pre-drywall inspections to ensure your 10-year structural warranty is fully protected.
How does the "Rural Discount" work for properties outside the metro?▼
Properties in towns like Hawley or Kindred often trade at a **14% price-per-square-foot discount**. We run the "Commuter Math" to ensure the lower mortgage principal outweighs your transportation costs, increasing your net worth.
What is the flood risk in North Fargo vs. South Fargo?▼
Risk varies by block. Older areas like Edgewood have permanent levees, while newer South Fargo developments use different retention strategies. We check the specific **FEMA flood maps** for every property to determine if insurance is mandatory or optional.
Can I use an "Assumable Mortgage" to get a lower rate?▼
Possibly. Many FHA and VA loans in the area are assumable, letting you take over a seller's lower rate. We identify eligible listings and guide you through the lender approval process to secure this financial advantage.
