Once you Find a House

Y

ou’ve found a house has walked through hundreds of houses and knows what you want to make warning signs to look for.

Ask questions of your agent, your home. Whether it’s neighbors if possible, a homebeen weeks or months of owners association and anyone looking, this is an exciting else who can give you an idea of what the neighborhood is step. Before you fall in love like.

When you’re ready to make with it, make sure you’ve an offer, talk with your agent kicked the tires, so to speak. about price. Don’t be afraid to

Turn on water faucets, flush toilets, check fireplaces and stoves, look closely at walls, ceilings and floors for any signs of structural damage. According to the Guide to Buying a Home, your real estate agent is a great resource; he or she

negotiate, but know how much you’re willing to pay and be careful not to overextend yourself. Get a pre-approval from your lender.

The offer document is dozens of pages long (all filled out by your agent, but read each page carefully)

and includes information about the home itself, including potential drawbacks like living near an airport or previous issues with the structure.

When your offer is accepted, you’ll put a small amount of money down with the title company. This starts the escrow period, a set amount of time during which certain steps must be completed.

Your agent can help you find an assessor, who examines the house to make sure it’s in good condition and what repairs are needed. You can ask the seller to make those repairs or negotiate a lower price or other trade-off.

States allow only a certain num-

ber of days for the assessor to come in and for the buyer and seller to negotiate repairs, so start the process quickly.

Your lender will send an appraiser, who looks at the home itself and also at similar nearby homes that have sold recently to determine the home’s value. You likely will not be able to get a loan for more than the appraised value of the home; if it comes back less than the asking price, the buyer and seller may have to renegotiate the price or the buyer puts more money down. You can also appeal an appraisal if you believe it to be incorrect.

The National Association of Realtors has a guide that explains the responsibilities of the seller and what to expect when you’re moving out.

GeT YouR Home ReAdY You don’t need to fix everything, but the better condition your home is in — and the better it looks — the higher a price you can expect. Small repairs like wood rot around door frames, water stains near doors or windows, leaks, slow-draining bathtubs, discolored hardwood, broken handles and so on can be fairly easy and inexpensive, and while potential buyers may not notice a repaired doorknob, they will certainly notice a broken one.

Hire a home inspector to look at the big items — water heater, roof, foundation, plumbing and wiring. Again, you don’t have to fix everything that needs it, but if the house needs a major foundation or roof repair or will need a new water heater in a year or so, potential buyers will take those costs into

Selling Your House

account and offer less money for the house. outside of repairs, consider ways to make your home look nicer. If your paint is drab, freshen the house with a new coat of paint. You should also paint any unusual colored walls to a neutral color. Not everyone will appreciate hot pink.

New carpet looks good;

hardwood is even better. The National Association of Realtors found sellers got a 100 percent return on their investment by adding hardwood floors. New insulation and a new roof typically paid for themselves as well.

KNow How mucH YouR Home IS woRTH Hire an appraiser to deter-

mine the value of the house.

In addition to comparing your home to similar homes, make sure he or she knows all the assets your home has.

From there, talk to your agent about a good asking price. expect potential buyers to negotiate, so have an idea of how low you’re willing to go on price. mAKe AGReed-upoN

RepAIRS After you’ve accepted an offer, your primary responsibility is to make the repairs you’ve agreed on and be moved out by the agree-upon date. If you need longer than the escrow period to move, that should be part of the negotiations.

uying a house is a long, complicated process with lots of paperwork and steps. Whether you’re buying for the first time or you’ve done it half a dozen times, the process can get overwhelming. But there are plenty of available resources to enjoy you check all the boxes, ask the right questions and end up with a home you love and can afford.



PAGE A7  Friday, May 17, 2019

U.S. News and World Report released a Guide to Buying a Home, which walks homebuyers through what they need to know when beginning. Start with people. You’ll need: A real estate agent: Especially for first-time homebuyers, a real estate agent is critical to making homebuying more pleasant and less stressful. Your agent has a wealth of knowledge about questions you should ask, the timeline, what to look for as you’re looking for houses and more. He or she also will be your negotiator with the seller and handle all the paperwork. You are hiring this person, so look for recommendations from people you trust and don’t be afraid to interview a few agents to find someone with whom you trust.

A lender: You can start with your own bank or talk to your real estate agent about good lenders in your area. Find a lender early, even before finding a house; many sellers won’t entertain an offer if it doesn’t include pre-approval from the buyer’s lender. To get that, you’ll need several documents and a credit check,

Buying: What You Need

all of which can take time.

In the way of paperwork, you’ll need bank statements for all of your accounts, including retirement accounts, for all the people whose names will be on the loan. You’ll also need income tax returns and pay

stubs, as well as documentation for any other income or debt you have. Lenders want to make sure you have the means to make your payments.

Finally, you need to know what you want. Start with your budget; figure out how

much you can afford to pay each month, including insurance, property taxes and mortgage insurance and determine how much you can pay up front for a down payment. From there, consider your needs and wants in a house: number

of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether you want a garage or a big yard or kitchen, what neighborhood or school district you’d like to live in, the commute to work, and so on.

I

Do You Need an Agent?

f you’ve bought or sold a house before, it may be tempting to decide to go through the process without the help of a real estate agent and their fee. Know what you’re getting into before taking on this responsibility.

For both buyers and sellers, an agent is an important ally who can handle the paperwork and negotiating, which can get tricky, and make the process much less stressful for you.

Here’s what to know when you’re considering an agent.

SellerS Time Magazine reported that 90 percent of home sellers use a real estate agent. The agent understands the market and the appraisal process and can provide expert advice on how to move a home more quickly, how to market it effectively and more.

Knowing market trends, they often are better able to negotiate the details of the contract. Your agent handles all of the walkthroughs and open houses as well, making them particularly helpful for sellers with inflexible work schedules.

If you’re not sure about your agent or having an agent at all, consider signing a short-term contract, so you can re-evaluate how well the relationship is working.

BuYerS An agent can help you find a lender, a title company and an assessor and answer questions about the

types of loans available, different down payment assistance programs in your area, how much house you can afford based on your budget and the benefits and drawbacks of different neighborhoods, although many aren’t allowed to directly tell you yes or no about a neighborhood.

Agents also know what

to look for when you’re walking through the house.

You may not notice a slight hump in the floor, but an experienced agent will and knows to ask the owner what caused it. They know possible issues to look for and questions to ask depending on the neighborhood (traffic patterns, persistent noises, if a family of raccoons lives

nearby, what electricity usage is like).

Your agent works for you, so do your homework and find one you’re comfortable with. You can ask for recommendations and check online reviews. The buyer’s agent is paid through the sale of the home, not out of your pocket.
