Want to Buy a Home?&nbsp;Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home?&nbsp;Get a Home Value Report Do you need to get a home inspection when buying a home? Absolutely. The home inspection is very important. When you walk through a house, you’re going to look at the floor plan, the rooms, and the area. You won’t necessarily be inspecting the home. You need to know about any latent defects in the property, so hire a professional home inspector to go in and look through the home. You’re probably not going to look at foundation issues in the basement or how much insulation is in the attic on your own, but you need to know those things. “ You need to know about the condition of the home and maintenance costs. ” You’re going to want to know what the maintenance costs for the property will be.

If you’re interviewing an agent to sell your home, there are three very important questions you must ask them. Want to sell your home?&nbsp;Get a FREE home value report&nbsp; Want to buy a home?&nbsp;Search all homes for sale As a home seller, there are many questions you can ask a Realtor when interviewing them, but here are three questions that are especially important that you do ask: 1. What sets you apart from other Realtors? Look at the technology they have and the access they have and make sure it’s different from other real estate agents. 2. What type of marketing plan do you use? Is it a specific, delineated marketing plan? For example, we have a specific, 78-point marketing plan we use to get the most value for our sellers. 3. Can I cancel the contract if I want? If you’re stuck in a contract with an agent you’re not happy with or don’t like, make sure you have the ability to cancel that contract. On our team, we give all of our clients the option to cancel with us at any point. These three questions will help you identify the right agent for you. If you have any questions about how to interview a real estate agent or you’d like to interview us to buy or sell a home for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to help.

After the home you’re looking to purchase has been inspected, what comes after? Today I have some advice about what steps you should expect to come after. Want to sell your home?&nbsp;Get a FREE home value report&nbsp; Want to buy a home?&nbsp;Search all homes for sale A home inspection is the process in which an inspector comes to the house being sold to find out any potential issues with the home that could affect its value. But what do you do after that initial inspection is over? Today, I’d like to give you some advice about the next step. After you do a home inspection, the secondary negotiation period begins. The primary negotiation is where you initially discuss price and terms, but you have a secondary negotiation period that a lot of people don’t necessarily think about. The important part of this secondary period is that you’re going to be able to negotiate the condition of the property that you’re looking to purchase. Take this time to ask the seller to make repairs that you find to your subjective discretion. After you do a home inspection, the secondary negotiation period begins. We will provide a document called an inspection objection to the seller, we’ll object to those items, and then the seller is going to provide us an inspection resolution. This is the agreement that you and the seller will come to regarding what they’ll repair on the property. That way, we can be confident about the property that you’ll be purchasing. If you have any questions about what comes after a home inspection or anything else that relates to real estate, please feel free to give us a call or send us an email. Hope to talk to you soon!

You’ve probably heard these terms before on HGTV, and for good reason. <br /><br />By “depersonalize,” I mean take down things like personal pictures. You want the buyer focused on the details of your home, not the details of your personal life. <br /><br />When decluttering something like a closet, take out things you’re not using at the moment. If you have a showing during the summertime, for example, take out all of your winter clothes so the closet appears bigger. <br /><br />Instead of consciously thinking about the closet not being filled up, the buyer will subconsciously think that you’ve lived there for a while but still haven’t filled up the closet. Linen closets and master bedroom closets are the primary closets to pay attention to in this regard.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="quote-box"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><span class="quote quote-left">“</span></span><br /> <div class="quote-text"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;">You want the buyer focused on looking at your home, not on your personal life. </span></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><span class="quote quote-right">”</span> </span></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><br />Lastly,<b> focus on smells and music</b>. It’s definitely a good idea to have some nice, quiet, soft music playing during your showings. Also, try baking some cookies or banana bread or cooking something in your crock pot to create smells that will appeal to a buyer’s senses and make them want to make your home theirs. <br /><br />If you have any more questions about the psychology of showing your home or you have any other real estate questions, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">don’t hesitate to call me or shoot me an email.

Here are some things we do to make sure that doesn’t happen to you: We will make sure we list your home at the right price. That way it doesn’t stay on the market for a long time and you lose the ability to purchase a house that you’re interested in. We will make sure that you know about all the inventory out there.

If you want to accurately determine how much home you can afford to buy, there are two professionals you must speak with. Want to Buy a Home?&nbsp;Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home?&nbsp;Get a Home Value Report&nbsp; Buyers ask me all the time, “How do we determine how much we can afford for the new house we’re looking at?” First, speak to a lender before you start shopping for a home. They can give you accurate information regarding your debt-to-income ratio and your FICO score, which are the two key ingredients to knowing what you can afford. On the real estate side, speak to a real estate professional. They will be able to provide you with accurate information that will affect your monthly payment. This information includes what your property taxes will be, what your HOA payments will look like, and how these factors will affect your debt-to-income ratio. &nbsp; “ Getting a professional opinion on both the real estate and lending sides is your best bet. ” You can research some of these things on your own, but getting a professional opinion will best determine how much you can truly afford for the home you intend to purchase.
