The End Is In Sight~The Closing

Joan Mirantz- Concord New Hampshire Realtor : Real Estate Agent in Concord, NH

You did it! You have found your home. You made an offer...and it was accepted! signThe End is in sight!!

From the names I provided to you,you will choose a Home Inspector, let him know the tests you wish done and set a time.

We have already discussed that the Home Inspection is to bring to your attention any major defects or issues we may not be aware of. The Home Inspector will also give you suggestions and tips and what to expect as far as "maintaining" your new home. As he goes over all the systems and particulars...be sure to have your questions ready!questions

Assuming the Home Inspection goes smoothly.... you will sign off on any conditions

Next on the agenda:

  • Arrange for your move. Will you be going traditional or will you be using the new Pod system? Either way...book it now!
  • Check in with your Lender about any loose ends or paperwork he/she may need from you at the same time...ask for an estimation of closing costs...we don't need surprises!
  • Call your Insurance Company and arrange for a rider.
  • Call the Electric Company and the Gas Company and arrange for the service to be changed to your name..change the phone too!
  • When we are one or two days away you will get your final figures and whatever monies you need to get from the Bank. There will also be a final credit check....so stay strong and push away that temptation to get that new living room furniture!
  • Just before closing we will have a final walk-thru to make sure all terms and conditions on the contract, as far as condition, have been met!truck

Who will be at the closing? In most cases your Lender, your Agent a Representative from the closing company,the Sellers, their Agent and anyone either side would like to invite!

You will sign what seems to be an endless stack of papers...money will be exchanged ...and the keys will be handed over!

Congratulations.....you have completed the process and keys you now own your own home!

Reverse Agency~ For Sellers

Joan Mirantz- Concord New Hampshire Realtor : Real Estate Agent in Concord, NH

Dear Concord, New Hampshire Seller, realtor angles

Educating Sellers on Agency, Explaining what they can expect from me and working on and within that Relationship....is a major part of my job. It is one of the most challenging parts.

Sadly (for us Realtors) in many cases we (myself included) neglect to educate our Sellers on their part in Agency in regards to us. In other words...what we expect from them.

The list isn't long but in my opinion...it can make or break a good working relationship.

How To Be The Perfect Seller

  • Remember..you have hired me to Market and sell your home! My opinion as to Value and Selling Price are based on my knowledge of the Market and your competition....please value and accept that opinion.
  • You need to act on any "staging' suggestions I may have such as personal clutter, curb appeal, or affordable sprucing up. It Matters!
  • Be sure your property is in good repair, don't hope something won't be found....consider doing a pre-sale Home Inspection
  • Disclose all you know about the property....no secrets!

speaking

  • Be honest with me in your motivation to sell.
  • I also need to know your equity situation
  • Be flexible and co-operative on showings
  • When we receive an offer on your home....be reasonable and thoughtful...don't be greedy! The objective is to sell.

( Reverse Agency~For Buyers)
