I had to share this information retrieved from a few different sources: REALTOR.com, westsidehomefinder.com, and car.org Your home is in escrow, and the buyer has scheduled a home inspection. Should you be worried about what the inspector might find? The answer depends, of course, on the condition of your home and how well you've maintained its major components over the years. Regardless of what the inspector may uncover, however, you shouldn't be overly concerned about the actual home inspection. Keeping in mind that disclosure laws and customary real estate practices vary from place to place, here are six suggestions as to how you might help the home inspection process go smoothly: 1. Leave the premises. It's perfectly reasonable to absent yourself from your home during the home inspe...

I wanted to share with you the most frequently asked questions a buyer has when purchasing a short sale. This is the first article in a series of five. Question #1: Buyers want to know who pays the closing costs in a short sale? As a buyer you want to ask your agent this question before you write an offer. The best time to ask it is during your first meeting. In a short sale all terms, conditions and closing costs are subject to lender approval. Sounds pretty vague, right? Let me tell you what closing costs you should ask for when writing a contract. Then I will tell you what they actually pay. Buyer should ask the Seller to pay: Sellers escrow fees Sellers title insurance Property taxes-including any back taxes County taxes City Required Reports Retrofitting Natural Hazard Disclosure T...
