BUYING:

5 Questions To Ask An Agent How do you know if an agent is the right fit? Real estate pros recommend you start by asking these questions:

3. HOW MANY HOUSES DID YOU SELL LAST YEAR? “The answer you’re looking for is not necessarily how many houses they sold, but what they say about how many houses they sold,” Marsh says. If their numbers are lower because they’re not a full-time 1. WHY ARE YOU A REAL ESTATE AGENT? agent, that could mean the buyer won’t get the time “I would find out what that person’s value system and attention he or she wants. is,” says Kelly Marsh of an Atlanta-based agency. “You don’t want to work with someone who’s just 4. THOSE HOUSES THAT YOU SOLD, doing it because they think they can make a lot of WHERE WERE THEY? money; you want to hire someone who loves what Especially in bigger cities, buyers will want an they do.” agent who is not just local, but hyperlocal. They will benefit the most from a professional who has 2. WILL YOU BE REPRESENTING ME, THE BUYER, worked and sold homes in the specific area of the EXCLUSIVELY? city in which the buyer is looking, Marsh says. For agents representing both the buyer and the seller, it can be difficult to get the optimal price for both parties. “Always understand who the agent is representing,” recommends Bob Larson, real estate agent in Milwaukee.

5. HOW WILL YOU KEEP ME UPDATED THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS? Does the buyer want to be contacted once or twice a week? By phone or text message? Setting these expectations will keep both parties happy. “The number one thing we know to be important in any service industry is communication,” says Elizabeth Mendenhall from Columbia, Missouri, and a past regional vice president of the National Association of Realtors. “It’s critical in a complex real estate transaction.”

Seasonal Maintenance Guide  Follow up on moss treatments for your roof. Assuming you applied anti-moss treatments in the fall, spring is a good time to touch up the job. Remove any remaining moss with a garden hose and a whisk broom. Whatever you do, don’t use a pressure washer, it’s much too powerful, and can damage the shingles and force water underneath them, where moisture can rot sheathing and roof joists.  Tackle vegetation while it’s still small. Spring is the best time to trim back shrubs and bushes that are close to the house.  Inspect the roof and chimney. Now is a good time to look for shingles that are missing, brittle, curled, or damaged.

 Check gutters. Even if you cleaned your gutters in the fall, they’ll likely need another once-over in spring.  Schedule your biannual HVAC check. In preparation for the cooling season, have your HVAC professional come for your air conditioner’s spring tune-up. Make sure your air filters are changed, and inspect and vacuum out all your floor registers. Spending a weekend or two on maintenance can prevent expensive repairs and alert you to developing problems before they become serious.

Before Buying a Home, Make Sure to Check it Twice A PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTION IS A MUST-DO BEFORE THE FINAL PURCHASE CONTRACT

hat you don’t know could hurt you – at least in the case of a real estate transaction. That’s why every homebuyer should ensure a contract is contingent upon a satisfactory home inspection. Especially for older construction, building standards and construction materials have drastically changed. Plus, many properties on the market now have been vacant or in disrepair due to the foreclosure crisis and economic downturn. With those uncertain variables in play, it’s critical to hire a professional home inspector. “A home inspector in the early 1970s didn’t have to concern themselves with lead-based paint or asbestos – those materials had yet to be deemed unsafe,” says Reggie Marston, president of a residential home inspection company in Springfield, Virginia. “In the early 1980s, no one was concerned with radon gas or anti-tip brackets on stoves. 8

In the early 1990s, mold was not on everyone’s high priority list, and composite building materials were just starting to be installed.” Those are just a handful of the problems that today’s home inspectors can detect. It’s also essential to check staples like the HVAC system, wiring, roof and foundation. In addition, home inspectors are uniquely qualified to catch hard-to-see problems like code violations. Hidden hazards can include improperly spaced balusters on railings, defective garage-door safety features and inoperable windows that reduce the number of fire exits in a residence, says Kurt Salomon, past president of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Once, he says, an inspector found residual chemicals in a house that had been used as a secret meth lab. And, the rash of repossessed homes has only made their jobs harder. Since many foreclosed properties have sat

vacant for months – even years – damage from water, mold, deterioration and vandalism are prime concerns. According to a 2012 poll conducted by ASHI, nearly 90 percent of all American homeowners surveyed said home inspections boost their confidence in a home purchase. Eighty-four percent said they would be more likely to purchase a foreclosed or short-sale property if it passed a home inspection. “The purpose of a home inspection is not to assemble a list of normal wear-and-tear or cosmetic items but to identify the home’s most pressing problems to be addressed in an effort to save the buyer money in the long run,” Salomon says. After the inspection, the buyer and seller negotiate to see if any of the problems will be fixed or if there will be price allowances for necessary repairs. Even if the contract doesn’t change, Salomon says, “The buyer will still benefit from having the knowledge of defective or

unsafe components and systems.” Some sellers will have a home inspection completed prior to listing a home, says Susan Aviles, broker with an agency in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. In other cases, a real estate agent may insist that a home inspector of the buyer’s choice conducts the inspection. Either way, Aviles says, she would never recommend that a client forgo a home inspection. Regardless of the age of the structure or appearance, an inspection is necessary. Even brand-new homes could have issues with builders cutting corners or recent DIY home improvement projects gone awry. When shopping for a home inspector, choose one who meets state licensing/ certification regulations (visit www.ashi. org for more details). He or she should have several years of experience and come highly referred by someone you know. February 20, 2015

Q&A

NOW COULD BE THE TIME TO SELL A NEW HOME AND EARN A SLICE OF THE REAL ESTATE PIE

ASK OUR BROKER By Peter G. Miller

Do We Get The Appliances? Question: If we buy a house is the owner obligated to clean up the place and leave behind things such as the washer and dryer or the microwave?

Answer: Rules and customs vary, but in general a sale agreement is likely to talk about the obligation of the seller to leave the property “broom clean.” This means the owners have removed all personal items and trash but left behind such items as keys and garage-door openers. A second obligation is to leave the property in substantially the same condition as it was on the day the contract was signed. In other words, the buyer has a right to expect that the property will not be damaged prior to closing. This is one of the major reasons for a pre-closing inspection of the property. In some areas it’s the custom for the washer and dryer to remain with the property while in others it is not. If you want the washer and dryer be sure to clear up any potential conflicts and list them in the sale agreement as items that specifically will remain with the property. As to microwave ovens, the answer will vary. If the microwave is built into a cabinet it’s generally regarded as a fixture and not

February 20, 2015

personal property. A “fixture” can be seen as something physically attached to the property and therefore intended to remain with the home while personal property leaves with the seller. Thus a carpet would stay while a rug would go. But, suppose the microwave is just sitting on a kitchen counter. In that case you have personal property because it’s not physically attached to the property (the cord can be pulled) and not intended to be part of the home. There can be real debates regarding what stays or does not stay after a sale. The best approach is to see what the proposed sale agreement says and to then specifically list any items you want to keep. Such language effectively defines what is or is not a fixture and thus what stays and goes. While it’s important to get the sale agreement right with the help of a broker or attorney, as is appropriate in your jurisdiction, there is still another complication with this question: Sometimes buyers and sellers – being human – just want to work things out. For instance, if you’re on good terms with the owner perhaps the nice barbecue and patio furniture will be left behind and not sold in a yard sale. Or, rather than just broom clean, maybe the owner will carefully clean out cabinets and appliances. Sometimes being cordial and friendly pays – and besides, maybe the owner didn’t really want to have a yard sale or lug that barbecue 1,200 miles.

IN PRINT AND ONLINE Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people. “When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors.
