Halloween or Not.... They can still "Haunt" you later!

Just some quick reminders that there are few basic behaviors that us agents need to continue to do - no matter what the situation is. In real estate... Haunting time is not just at Halloween if you get too loose with your procedures.

• Buyer Repair Bills - Remember Buyers are quick to agree to purchase AS IS - WHERE IS: But after purchase and the repair bills start to kick in, they forget the AS IS WHERE IS and start looking to blame someone for all the problems they are having with the property! So to protect your buyers and all others...

Recommend that the buyer request from the seller or they GET A HOME PROTECTION PLAN

* Old Republic Home Protection Plan is a good one.

• Buyers not getting a Home Inspection??? Remember buyers tend to forget that you "bugged" them about getting an inspection after the purchase. So to protect your buyers and all others involved....

Recommend, recommend the buyer to get an inspection FIRST.. if they refuse (have them sign a waiver)

• Buyers would not get a Termite Inspection?? Remember buyers say it doesn't matter, but it will later on!

Recommend, recommend the buyer to get an inspection FIRST.. if they refuse (have them sign a waiver)

• Buyers not asking for more from the seller... ie. 1/2 escrow fees, transfer fees (escrow & closing fees): When its time to close, the buyer begain to feel they are paying too much to close??? That the seller should make more repairs - or all repairs even costmetics????

Recommend that they ask for what they want upfront in the initial offer submitted. Do not try to ask for less in order to get the offer and then bumbard the seller with addendums to increase the concessions. MIGHT NOT work - then you run the risk of loosing your deposit if you do not go through with the sale.

These are just a few of the "Haunting" situations that buyers find themselves in after they have submitted the offer, purchased the property and have no place to turn or no one to blame.... but they will!
