Inspections!

 Wed, Jun 7th 2023 9:15 am by David Shippey Buyer Tips

Buyer Tip: Inspections

We always suggest a full home inspection, termite inspection, and septic inspection (if the home is not on a sewer). The results of these inspections give you a good picture of the condition of the home.

Spoiler alert: the home inspection report WILL NOT be blank. Inspectors list all minor and major issues, and that is exactly what you want to see. Sellers typically do not fix cosmetic items, but that is OK. This gives you a list of items to slowly tackle once the home is yours.

If the home is not new, I recommend a four-point inspection and wind mitigation report for insurance purposes. Bonus: The wind mitigation report may give you a better rate on your insurance pre...

Survey!

 Wed, May 31st 2023 9:58 am by David Shippey Seller Tips

Seller Tip: Survey

New surveys can sometimes delay closings. If you have a current survey in your possession, it can sometimes expedite your closing if there are survey delays with providers.

The survey must be accurate of your property currently. If you installed a new driveway, added a workshop, added fencing, etc. then a new survey will be needed by the buyer if they are financing your home.

Money Out of Pocket!

 Wed, May 24th 2023 9:35 am by David Shippey Buyer Tips

Buyer Tip: Money out of Pocket

The first expense will be your escrow deposit or earnest money as it is sometimes called. It is usually 1% to 2% of the purchase price. This is within a few short days after you execute sales contract.

During the first phase you met with a lender to get preapproved. Part of that process will tell you how much you need for a down payment based on your loan program and desires. Some loans allow 3.5%, 5%, 10%, and 20% of the purchase price. The down payment is paid at closing and takes into account your deposit.

Inspections are the next expense. Depending on the inspections chosen, they can amount to $1,000 paid at time of inspection.

Most lenders ask you to ...
