Are you prepared for the home-buying experience! It can be stressful!

It's important for you as the Home buyer to make sure you feel better knowing you are not the only ones who feel confused about the home buying process. Nearly all home buyers feel the same way, even if they've bought a house in the past, because it's easy to forget the steps you took to get into a home once the event is behind you.  Let us at the Exit Pleasant Team help you - It's our job as your representative to prepare you in advance for your first or repeated purchase.   We are dedicated to providing the best and proper service.

Get Prepped in Home Buying Basics

You as a buyer need to become educated about the home buying customs where you wish to live. Relatives or friends who live in another state might have some good general advice for you.   It is very important to become familiar with where you wish to buy.  Chances are the process is very different in the area you wish to live, so avoid the mistake of relying solely on your desire to make important decisions.   Insure you are schooled well in the requirement of the area they wish to purchase a new home.

So How Do They Learn the Basics?

It is up to you and us as the Exit Pleasant Team and agent to educate clients about the typical home buying scenario.

Home Buying Questions to Ask

  1. What types of disclosures are sellers in their preferred area required to give to buyers?
  2. What types of home inspections are standard in the preferred area? Are there other inspections that the agent should recommend?
    • How much do the inspections usually cost? Are they regarded as a buyer expense?
    • When are inspections done?
  3. Is a survey required for most transactions? If so, who typically pays for it, the buyer or the seller?
  4. Who does the title search to verify that the deed is problem free, attorneys or a title company? What's the average cost for that service?
  5. Who acts as settlement agent, the person who puts together final paperwork for you to sign? (attorney, title company personnel, real estate broker, other)?
  6. Other than loan costs, what's the average total cost for other closing fees?
    • Taxes, settlement agent fees, etc.
  7. How long does it usually take to close on a home once an offer is accepted?
     

That's a good start. After you have the answers to those questions, you'll have a better feeling for the basic customs in their preferred area.  When you are better prepared - - you are more relaxed.  Our agents KNOW the answers to these questions and so much more!
