Pay Attention to This When Making and Offer on a Home

in ,

We are concluding our series of articles discussing some aspects you should pay attention to when making an offer on a home. Let’s take a look:

Review the Contract Carefully Before Signing

When making an offer on a home, it is crucial to review the contract carefully before signing. Failure to review the contract carefully may lead to hidden surprises, misunderstandings, or even legal disputes. The Orlando seller agents/Tampa Seller agents/South Florida seller agents and buyers agents at One Percent Guys Full Service Real Estate Pros will go over all contracts and paperwork with you before you sign.

Take Note of Contingencies and Deadlines

A contract typically includes contingencies and deadlines that can have significant consequences if not fulfilled. These may include an inspection contingency, mortgage contingency, or closing date contingency. Be sure to review these contingencies and deadlines thoroughly, understand them, and ensure that they are satisfactory before signing the contract. The Tampa seller agents/Orlando Seller agents/South Florida seller agents and buyers agents at One Percent Guys Full Service Real Estate Pros can explain any contingencies and deadlines included in the contract.

Have a Backup Plan in Case Financing Falls Through

Even with pre-approval for a mortgage, financing may still fall through before the closing of the sale. It’s important to have a backup plan in case this happens. For example, you could explore other financing options or work with the seller on a lease-to-own agreement. A backup plan can give you peace of mind and prevent delays or even the loss of your dream home. Our Tampa seller agents/Orlando Seller agents/South Florida seller agents and buyers agents can help you explore the various financial options available to you.

Mistakes to Avoid When Making an Offer on a Home

in ,

While it may sound easy, making an offer on a home is a very detailed and sophisticated process. Do the right things when making an offer and you can put yourself on the path to homeownership. Step the wrong way and you could lose a potential dream home. The Tampa seller agents/South Florida seller agents/Orlando seller agents and buyers agents at One Percent Guys Full Service Real Estate Pros have extensive experience with helping buyers make offers and advising sellers what offers to take and which ones to turn down. Our next series of articles will cover some mistakes to avoid when making an offer on a home.

Not Getting Pre-Approved

The first thing you should do when entering the market for a new home is get pre-approved for a loan. This not only helps you know your maximum price range, but a loan pre-approval letter is attractive to sellers. Not getting pre-approved for a loan may result in you making an offer on a home you will not be approved to purchase. You also could have your offer rejected in favor of someone who does have a pre-approval letter.

Going it Alone

Making an offer on a home without the guidance and advice of a real estate agent can be risky. Real estate agents have the knowledge and experience to help you negotiate an offer and outline contingencies that meet your goals and objectives.

A Closer Look at the Home Buying Process

Our previous article discussed the importance of finding a trusted real estate agent and also going through the process of obtaining a mortgage pre-approval letter. Today, we will look at two more steps in the home buying process.

Narrow Down Location

Once you have engaged a trusted real estate agent, you should work on exploring different locations you would like to consider. The Tampa listing agents/Orlando listing agents/South Florida listing agents at One Percent Guys Full Service Real Estate Pros will sit down with you to discuss your needs and desires and help narrow down some locations that fit with your family and lifestyle.  Some aspects to consider include budget, proximity to job location, schools for children, desire to live in the city, suburb, or rural community, etc.

Learn About the HOA’s

Many neighborhoods in Florida have a homeowner’s association (HOA). It is a good idea to know whether or not the area you are looking in has an HOA and if so, what are the dues, rules, and regulations, etc. For instance, if you have a business with a commercial vehicle, but the HOA does not allow you to park commercial vehicles in your driveway, then you may want to consider looking in a different neighborhood. Tampa seller agents/Orlando seller agents/South Florida seller agents are familiar with the HOA’s in most neighborhoods and can provide the covenants for you to review before making an offer.
