1. Take A Look At This For Anybody Choosing A House
Identifying the amount of money on the home you are going to buy, will help you to figure out
what your true needs are in a home. Base your needs on an area as well as minimum must
haves in the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, parking spaces and the like. Other concerns
include local schools, neighborhood amenities, and standard commute times. All of this
information will help your Realtor to streamline the home search they create for you.
Between the Internet and your real estate broker, you can get quite overwhelmed with the
amount of selections you have available to you. You can also become quite frustrated due to
the fact that you have a lot of selections, and none of them seem to work for you. The home
selection process is one of elimination, so you may be frustrated, but you're on the right
track.
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Home Inspector's give
you much needed peace of mind which in turn allows you to breath a sigh of relief and enjoy
your new home knowing your investment is safe. Home buyers should always ask the
inspector questions and ask how to resolve the problem. Inspectors are also a great referral
resource for other repair professionals and would be happy to recommend an expert in a
particular field. This process will ensure that your home becomes your castle.
Closing costs are the fees associated with purchasing a property. Who pays them is
negotiable. Both seller and buyer have closing costs. If you are a buyer many times you will
ask the seller to assist with your closing costs but that is only a negotation that takes place
within your offer to purchase. Once under contract, the seller is not obligated to agree or pay
any of the buyers closing costs unless that has been written into your contract as it usually
plays a role in the acceptable sale price. Closing cost can be somewhat confusing for buyers
as the term frequently gets tangled up with the use of the word down payment.
When you have found a property you want to purchase, your agent will help you to formulate
and submit an initial offer on your behalf. An initial offer is usually made in writing as an offer
to purchase and is prepared by your agent. Once you have reached an agreement with the
seller on the terms including purchase price, personal property to be included, projected
closing date, conditions and contingencies (inspections, repairs, financing, etc.), you now
have an “Accepted Offer.”
You can table a counter offer and look around a bit before deciding to pay more. The
opposite is generally true of sellers in a buyer’s market. They need to sell the property and
are motivated to move as quickly as possible.
Final negotiations end with an agreement and initials, signatures and dates on the offer
making it a contract. The first thing you need to do as a buyer is get this executed contract
over to the lender, so they can proceed with getting the loan done. This is the longest piece

2. of the contract and really requires that you pay strict attention to it.
