Ask The Agent – Buying a Home

This is a very exciting time, lots of information to take in and with all that’s going on we sometimes forget the obvious “representation”. 

The majority of us are experts on houses having lived in them and maybe even bought and sold a couple so we ought to know the process by now shouldn’t we?

Ask yourself the following questions see if you are doing the right thing,

1. Is contacting the telephone number on the for sale sign the best way to see a home?
2. Do i know where to look for mold and what check for in a freshly painted water damaged basement?

Well contacting the telephone number on for sale sign will get you a viewing of the home but if you wish to purchase that home you must remember one thing:

A seller’s (Listing Agent) is under contract and works solely for the home owner and is only obliged to provide you with customer service. Don’t be misled they do not work for you.  

Contacting a Realtor to assist you in finding a home is relatively cheap it costs nothing. The best thing is you will now have a professional who’s job it is to represent your interest’s at no cost for this representation.

When you look for mold and water damage in a cleaned up property check the corners in the furnace area and under the stairs in the storage spots these areas are not generally repainted as they are hard to reach areas.
