Top Three Topics to Discuss With Your Real Estate Agent When Buying a Home

property

Adapted from ColdwellBanker.com

NEWS

Whether you’re ready to settle into your first home or looking to buy your fifth; are moving to another country or across the island, it’s smart to identify which attributes of a new home are most important to you. Be sure to sit down with your real estate agent and discuss your needs and wants for your new house.

Real Estate Index Bermuda Longtail Real Estate. . Pg 15

Here are five topics to think about when buying a home:

Coldwell Banker. . . . . . . . . . . . . Pg 3

1) What You Can’t Live Without

Rego Sotheby’s.. . . . . . . . . . . . . Pg 1

Our lifestyle choices are often reflected in the homes we buy. Is a roomy garage important to you? Do you have a big family? Perhaps you or your spouse is a gourmet cook. In that case, a well-designed kitchen could be a must for you. Before your real estate agent begins a home buying search, he or she will want to know which home attributes you can’t live without.

Roderick DeCouto Real Estate. . . Pg 4

2) Family Needs – schools/ community/ etc.

Joy Lusher Real Estate. . . . Pg 6 & 11 Kitson Real Estate . . . . . . . . . . . Pg 7 Mark Orchard Real Estate. . . . . . Pg 4

Sinclair Realty.. . . . . . . . . . . . . Pg 13 The Property Group. . . . . . . . Pg 1 & 9 Tuckers Point Club. . . . . . . . . . . Pg 5 Whitecross Development. . . . . . Pg 12

If you have children or are thinking about having children in your new home, you’ll want to discuss school information and family needs with your real estate agent. Real estate is a long term investment, so not only is it important to consider the location of your home today relative to area schools, ferries and bus stops; but you should also consider the tone of your new community; how the commute will affect your lifestyle; etc. Location should be a critical factor in home selection. 3) Budget Of course, the most rigid constraint of a home-buying search is typically the buyer’s budget. Defining budget parameters quickly and early focuses a home search to a particular segment of the market. However, with the creative lending solutions available today, budget constraints are not as rigid as they once were or as many home-buyers assume them to be. Many innovative mortgage options are now available to both first-time and veteran home-buyers. Before beginning a home search, you should talk to both your real estate agent and your lender about your finance options and ultimately, your budget.

Adapted from ColdwellBanker.com While many home sellers use a friend or relative’s referral when selecting a sales agent, it is smart to interview a variety of prospective agents and invite them to show their listing presentations. Pay attention to how they plan to market the home, and find out how many homes they (and their companies) listed in the past year as well as how many of them were sold. Remember, the more prospective buyers a sales agent can attract, the better the chance for a successful sale. When selling a home, establishing a reasonable and, ultimately, profitable listing price is perhaps the biggest challenge that a homeowner faces. A home priced too high may go unsold, but a home priced too low will result in a loss for the seller.

Before settling on an asking price, take the following steps: 1) CMA Home sellers should work with a real estate sales agent to develop a written comparative market analysis (CMA). This will provide a list of recent sales prices of similar homes in the area (with comparable numbers of bedrooms, baths, square footage and lot size), the asking prices of homes currently for sale in the neighborhood and other relevant information. 2) Take the Emotion Out of It Sellers often take great pride in their homes, but it is important to set a priced based solely on factors like location, condition and size. What is the physical condition of the home? Is it a fixer-upper? Does it make a good first impression? Will it appeal to a growing family, or is it better suited for empty nesters? These are all things that need to be considered when pricing a home. 3) Closing Costs Do not forget to figure in closing costs, legal fees and other selling expenses when determining the selling price. The sales agent should be able to provide cost estimates, and negotiate with a potential buyer to ensure a fair sale price. After working with a real estate sales agent to get a CMA and considering all the other factors, the listing price will be set. But there is one more step in trying to ensure that the house sells for that price, or more. Do as much as possible to improve the home’s appearance: touch up the paint, fix leaks, seal any cracks, clean the home, eliminate clutter and rid the home of any pet odors. The house has only one chance to make a first impression.
