In addition, did you know you have to secure home-owner's insurance prior to closing on your new home?
Did you know that you can shop around for mortgages? Lenders offer many different programs and they are not the same at every bank! It pays to shop around!

When preparing your home for the market, we recommend checking off all those little maintenance tasks that we often overlook or have learned to love with over the years. In addition, any major issue such as HVAC, mechanical, water issues, etc. should be addressed PRIOR to putting your home on the market for 2 reasons:
-
If you want TOP DOLLAR, your home should be in TOP CONDITION. This means no major repairs or issues needed.
-
You, as a seller, are required to disclose any issues with the home such as flooding, etc. It is best to have these possible roadblocks taken care of ahead of time.
Once you have your offer accepted, there are certain inspections we recommend to give you peace of mind and keep you informed about the home you are purchasing!
