Reasons Why Residential Real Estate Deals Fall Through

Reasons Why Residential Real Estate Deals Fall Through

Purchasing a home is exciting. However, once someone finds their dream home and makes an offer, that excitement often turns into nervousness about the uncertainty of whether or not the sale will be finalized.  Our next series of articles will cover some of the most common reasons why a pending real estate deal may fall through. Let’s get started:

Inspection

The one percent real estate experts at One Percent Guys Full Service Real Estate Pros recommend that our buyers make a sale contingent on a professional home inspection.  This can include, but is not limited to inspecting the roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, and even an inspection for termites. If the inspection finds issues with the property, then you have the option to move forward with the sale, move forward with the sale pending acceptable repairs, re-negotiate the sale price, or choose to abandon the sale.

Appraisal

Financial institutions require an appraisal before approving a mortgage. If you are paying cash, the one percent real estate experts at One Percent Guys Full Service Real Estate Pros will still recommend that you make the sale contingent upon an appraisal. If the appraisal comes in lower than the offer price, you may choose to either make another offer or abandon the deal.

Our next article will cover more reasons why a residential real estate deal may fall through.

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.

This is the policy of many other real estate agents as well.  If you plan to make anything other than a cash offer on a home, then a mortgage pre-approval letter is a must.
