Taking care of clients

Is your real estate agent taking care of you? When you want to put in an offer does he get you the milleage rates for the area? Will he get you the school information you need? Will he direct you to to several contractors to call to find out how much something would cost to fix? Does he pull comparable houses that have sold in the last 6 months or does he just let you put in an offer. If he just lets you put in an offer with out checking what has sold in the last six monthes, in the area, and in the general same square footage then he or she is not doing you justice.

How can you buy a home without comparision shopping? Sure it is beautiful home, sure it has everything you need and want..... but how much are you willing to pay extra for it? If money is no object then buy it. But if you want to make a sound decision, a good financial start then you need to know the prices of homes that have sold recently. You want to make money on this home when you sell it. There are quite a few people that bought homes at the top end of the price range (that kind of overpaid) that are paying the price now. The home is no longer worth what they paid for it or they can't sell it for what they bought it for. If they had bought it at a bargain price they might be in better shape to sell it.

It does not matter whether it a good market or bad market you need to make good financial decisions. You need to get a good price on a home whenever you buy one. Don't overpay. Unless of course your significant other just has to have it and it is going to cause major problems in your relationship with your significant other. If you want suggestions on what to look for for when buying a home go to my website www.russravary.com (in the site map look for buyers information and then what adds value or what subtracts value) Or search for bargain Michigan Homes May life treat you and your family well this week Russ Ravary
