Be
cautious.
When looking through this market, you
may find a home for sale by the owner
directly that you might be interested
in. Typically, the seller pays the real
estate fees when using another Realtor®.
Many buyers think that when they choose
to buy a home from an owner directly,
they may be getting a “deal”.
To make an informed decision, it is
important to know what the local
neighborhood home values are. Josh can pull this historical
data and compile it in an easy to digest
way for you. It is a miserable thing to
pay too much for a home and try to sell
it years later, only to walk away having
paid into the house to sell it, or just
barely breaking even. Buy your home
today at today's prices. We will help
make sure the price is in line with the
market so that you can enjoy potential
future appreciation.
Not only would you want to avoid paying
too much for a home, you probably should
be wary of a contract written up with no
expert help. With Josh you know you are being
protected in the contract. The current
contract being used is a compilation of years of
real estate transactions, and is
approved by the Texas Real Estate
Commission and Texas Association of
Realtors. Both you and the seller should
have a clear picture of what is expected
in your contract, including inspection
contingencies, loan information,
disclosures from the seller, what
happens if the contract is breached, and
many other items. The current contract
used by real estate professionals is
eight pages. It is our job
to guide you through the contract, allow
you time to feel comfortable with it,
make the contract fit your needs, answer
your questions and make sure all parties
are abiding by the requirements set
forth in the contract.
If you think you can buy a home and
be well protected without the help of an
expert that can foresee potential
pitfalls and recognize any red flags,
you might think again. The price of
someone protecting your rights, watching
out for your interests, and guiding you
through the maze to ensure you are 100%
informed is more than worth the security
you will enjoy.
