Are You a First-Time Buyer Feeling Scared to Enter This Coo-Coo Market?
Don't be scared!! Make sure you have the right professionals around you! Surrounding yourself with an experienced Realtor can make all the difference!
Right now, in this market, the list price of a home is almost like a starting bid. If you fall in love with a home, be prepared to go over list price. Your Realtor can talk you through different ways to make your offer as attractive as it can be for a seller who's presented with many contracts.
Appraisers are well-aware of how this market is performing. Although your Realtor can't guarantee you appraised value up front, we can run comparable properties for you and prepare you for what may come.
A qualified and experienced inspector can walk/talk you through a home without hitting the panic button unless absolutely necessary. The inspector is not there to tell you whether you should move forward with the purchase or not. They are an un-biased third party who will come in and give you their professional opinion on the operation of all your pertinent appliance and components.
A good title agent is worth their weight in gold! This is perhaps the most intricate part of the process. Your title agent will scour through droves of paperwork to make sure there's no lien's on the home you are about to purchase, ground rent present, or any other legal issues pending.
Your Realtor can provide recommendations for highly qualified professionals in all of these fields as well as licensed contractors if work/repairs are needed on the home.
Don't panic, help is here for you and with the right help you can still comfortably end up in the home of your dreams!
