Whether you are already actively looking to buy or considering doing so, our advice on the following topics will sharpen your edge in the go-ahead.
-
First Impressions: Bidding an offer too low below the asking price, without evidenced grounds, will do nothing for your credibility or business relationship with the seller. Leave wiggle room in negotiations to increase the likelihood of an optimal transaction.
-
Check Inspections: Ensure that there are no unforeseen problems with the home or property by employing a home inspector, even if the seller had one done prior to listing.
-
Title Baggage: Ask a title company or attorney to run a title search on your prospective property for the scope of issues that its title may carry, e.g., back taxes, liens, etc., that might affect the transaction.
-
Closing Costs: In addition to the price the property is being sold for, don't forget to budget for other expenses such as real estate broker fees.
-
