New Orleans Real Estate - Home Buying Guide - Part 8 - Closing

New Orleans Real Estate - Part 8 - Home Buying Guide - Closing

This is Part 8 of my exclusive New Orleans Real Estate Home Buying Guide.

Welcome to my final installment of my New Orleans Real Estate Home Buying Guide! WooHoo!

This is the part when you sign on the dotted line and get the keys to your new house. I guess it is a bit more complicated than that...but it is a very straight forward process. So what goes in to a closing?

In New Orleans, we typically use a title company to execute our closings. Most lawyers are able to complete a closing but the title companies are so well versed in real estate closings that their rates are typically much cheaper. How do you choose a title company? Your buyer's agent will have knowledge of the local title companies and will be able to suggest the right title for you.

New Orleans Real Estate - Home Buying Guide - Part 7 - Inspections

New Orleans Real Estate - Part 7 - Home Buying Guide - Inspections

This is Part 7 of my exclusive New Orleans Real Estate Home Buying Guide.

Congratulations! We have found your perfect home and negotiated a great contract. You are now under contract! Now what...? You have already begun the financing process so keep that train moving by letting your lender know that you are under contract. After that, we have inspections to complete.

The inspection clock in ticking. In New Orleans, we typically have around 14 calendar days to complete our inspections. Remember, the inspection process is very important because if you find something completely wrong with house, you can get out of the contract...you won't be able to if you find things wrong after the inspection period. When you buy a piece of New Orleans real estate, you will almost always conduct an overall property inspection and a termite inspection. There are other times when you will conduct a video pipe inspection.

First of all, how much do these inspections cost?

New Orleans Real Estate - Home Buying Guide - Part 6 - Offer Strategy

New Orleans Real Estate - Part 6 - Home Buying Guide - Offer Strategy

This is Part 6 of my exclusive New Orleans Real Estate Home Buying Guide.

Strategy...How are we going to best position our offer to get you the house? This part of my home buying guide will focus on the price, terms, and conditions that make up offers. We will use these items to specifically create the best offer for the situation at hand.

Leverage. Buyer's leverage is basically the amount of bargaining power a buyer has based on specific information surrounding the property. How badly does the seller need to sell? How badly does the buyer need the house? Is is a buyer or seller's market? These are just a few questions that can affect the amount leverage a buyer has. I am really just talking about who holds the power...whoever holds the power drives the negotiations.

Regardless of the type of market that we are experiencing, the primary goal of your offer is to get the seller to accept your terms. The secondary goal is to get them to the negotiating table. Ok, here we go with some specifics:

Step 1: Figure out your intentions. If the goal is to buy the house as quickly as possible, you have to come as strong as possible with your first offer. If the goal is to see if you can steal the house, you can put in a low ball offer. Keep in mind that low ball offers can offend the owner and ruin any chances of you buying the house so make sure to keep the offer reasonable. Your ultimate intentions will drive how you determine price, terms, and conditions. Is your intention to get the house at a low price? Is it to close at a much later date? Is it to get cash out of the seller to help with closing costs? All of these intentions will affect the strategy of the offer.

New Orleans Real Estate - Home Buying Guide - Part 4 - Finding a Home

New Orleans Real Estate - Part 4 - Home Buying Guide - Finding a Home

This is Part 4 of my exclusive New Orleans Real Estate Home Buying Guide.

Finally! We are at the fun (well, I think it is fun) part of the home buying process. Now that you have addressed the first three parts of the home buying guide (Financials, hiring a buyer’s agent, and mortgage/insurance), it is time to find you perfect piece of New Orleans Real Estate. How should you begin?

I suggest that you take some time and make out a shopping list. Sounds a bit elementary, I know, but it can help keep you organized. But what should your shopping list look like? Well, that requires a bit more thought. It is time to answer some hard questions…such as:

  1. Do you want a single family home, condo, or multi-family
  2. What size property?
  3. How many bedrooms and bathrooms?
