Frequently Asked Questions from Buyers

Your Real Estate Agent can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property.  Real Estate Agents have access to a variety of informational resources.  Real Estate Agents can provide local community information on utilities, zoning, schools, etc.  There are two things Buyers will want to know.  First, will the property provide the environment they want for a home or investment?  Second, will the property have resale value when and if they are ready to sell?

Contact the  County Treasurer in the property's county, or check out these sites for assistance:

THIS IS HUGE…especially Spring thru Fall.  When driving up to the home you are going to view, what you see first “speaks” volumes”!  Have the lawn mowed & edged.  Prune & trim trees & shrubs.  Pick up fallen limbs.  Discard old or broken lawn furniture, flower pots, & hanging baskets.  Sweep walks, patios, decks, steps, & porches.

When walking thru the Front Door, “First Impressions” mean putting your BEST FOOT FORWARD.  Therefore, a home that is clean, neat, & tidy will not only look inviting, but will FEEL very comfortable.

Make small repairs, i.e., leaky faucets, loose door knobs, sticking doors, etc., prior to the FIRST SHOWING!  Deodorize the entire house to remove unpleasant odors, such as mildew, smoke, & cooking smells.

If you do not have time to do the things it takes to make your home look its absolute best, call a company who specializes in home services.

THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WILL CHANGE THE SIGN IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME FROM “FOR SALE” to “SOLD”!!
