HOW TO

GO FROM RENTER TO HOMEOWNER

You’ve been saving for a while, and you’re finally ready to move out of your apartment and take the leap to home ownership. Becoming a first-time homeowner is both an exciting and a stressful process, but the payoff is well worth it once all the papers are signed and the keys are in your hands. Be sure to read on for some useful tips for preparing for home ownership and what to expect once you move in.

Chances are, you’ve been renting from a landlord who was on the hook for minor repairs and major upgrades, not to mention yardwork and a lot of other upkeep. Now, all those tasks fall on you.

Set Some Money Aside

A good rule of thumb is to set aside one percent of your home’s purchase price per year for maintenance. So, if for example, your home cost $300,000, you should put aside $3,000, or about $250 a month, for home repairs. If you’re buying a new construction home, you shouldn’t have major repairs right away and you’ll likely have a new home warranty covering any maintenance costs. By saving this money now, particularly if you’re moving into an existing home, you won’t have any surprises if a hot water heater breaks or if you need a new roof down the line.

Inspect Before You Buy

A proper inspection of your new home will alert you to problems that already exist. There shouldn’t be any issues in a new construction home, and, if anything, only minimal issues in an existing home, but an inspection can ensure that everything is installed properly or that you can negotiate with the seller for any minor repairs to be incorporated into the purchase price.

Stay on Top of Maintenance

This doesn’t just mean keeping up with yard work and cleaning, even though they’re important. You’ll want to do an annual survey of your major appliances and know what they look like when working properly. Keep your eye on the roof or visible pipes as well –

catching a problem early is key to preventing expensive repairs. Keep the name of trusted plumbers, HVAC repairmen, and electricians just in case.

Get a Hold of Your Finances

Finally, another major difference between renting and owning is the status of your finances. The first year you own a home, your taxes will become much more complex – so this might be the year you turn to a tax professional (if you don’t already do so). Second, start to budget. Chances are, you’re going to need to fill up your additional square footage with new furniture or electronics. Other things like lawn mowers, grills, and other seasonal products will be needed too, so make sure to comparison shop at the right time for a great deal.

THE ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT

Buying or selling a home can be a complex and overwhelming process, and it's often challenging to navigate the real estate market on your own. That's where a real estate agent comes in. In this article, we'll explore the advantages of working with a real estate agent.

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE

Real estate agents have extensive knowledge and expertise in the local housing market. They can provide valuable insights and advice on pricing, negotiations, and market trends. They know how to assess properties, including their value, potential issues, and opportunities.

ACCESS TO LISTINGS

Real estate agents have access to a broad range of listings, including properties that may not be available to the general public. This means they can help you find the right home or buyer more efficiently. They also have access to information about properties that have recently sold, which can be helpful when determining the appropriate price for your home.

NEGOTIATION SKILLS

Negotiating the purchase or sale of a home can be challenging. Real estate agents have excellent negotiation skills and can help you get the best possible deal. They can provide an objective perspective, which can be helpful in preventing emotions from clouding your judgment. They can also negotiate on your behalf, which can be a timesaver and help reduce stress.

ASSISTANCE WITH PAPERWORK

Real estate transactions involve a lot of paperwork, from contracts to disclosures. A real estate agent can assist with this paperwork, ensuring that everything is completed accurately and on time. They can explain the documents to you and help you understand the terms and conditions. They can also help ensure that you have all the necessary documents to complete the transaction.

In conclusion, working with a real estate agent can be a significant advantage when buying or selling a home. They have the knowledge, expertise, and professional network to help you navigate the real estate market efficiently and effectively. If you're considering buying or selling a home, consider working with a real estate agent in this magazine to help you achieve your goals.

EXPLORING THE BENEFITS OF OPEN HOUSES

Open houses have been a traditional part of the real estate industry for many years. They provide an opportunity for potential buyers to view a property in person, ask questions, and get a feel for the space. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of open houses and why they can be an essential part of the home selling process.

ATTRACT POTENTIAL BUYERS

Open houses can be an effective way to attract potential buyers to your property. By advertising the event in local newspapers, online listings, and social media, you can generate interest in your home. Many buyers prefer to attend open houses as it allows them to view multiple properties in a short period, making it easier to compare and narrow down their choices.

SHOWCASE YOUR HOME

Open houses provide a unique opportunity to showcase your home in the best possible light. By decluttering, deep cleaning, and staging your home, you can create an inviting and attractive space that will appeal to potential buyers. It's important to ensure that your home is wellmaintained and in good condition before hosting an open house to make the best impression.

RECEIVE FEEDBACK

Open houses can be a great way to receive feedback from potential buyers. By talking to visitors and answering their questions, you can gain insight into what buyers are looking for in a home. This information can be valuable when making future decisions about the sale of your home, such as adjusting the price or making repairs.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS

Open houses can also be an opportunity to build relationships with real estate agents. Many agents attend open houses with their clients, and by networking with them, you may be able to find an agent who is a good fit for your needs. You can also get a sense of the local real estate market by talking to agents and asking them about trends and pricing.

INCREASE EXPOSURE

Hosting an open house can increase exposure for your home. Even if visitors aren't interested in purchasing your property, they may know someone who is. By spreading the word about your open house, you can increase the likelihood that someone will see your property and consider it as an option.

In conclusion, open houses can be a valuable part of the home selling process. They provide an opportunity to attract potential buyers, showcase your home, receive feedback, build relationships with real estate agents, and increase exposure. If you're considering selling your home, talk to your real estate agent about hosting an open house and how it can benefit your sale.

Trust in Print.

Print is still the most trusted form of advertising. Give your listings the trust they deserve through The Real Estate Book.
