Should I Repair or Replace before I List?

Consider looking at the following items that may need some repairing or replacement:

​

•Wood rot around outside door frames, window ledges, and garage doors. Condensation and rain can cause these areas to weaken and rot. 

•Water stains on the ceiling or near doors and windows. This can indicate a leaky roof or rain seeping in from outside. •Leaks under sinks or around toilets. 

•Loose carpet or discoloration on hardwood floors, which can indicate flooding problems or an uneven foundation.

Getting Ready to List your Home 

Look for the following when hiring a real estate agent.

 

  • Test their communication skills

  • Probe their experience

  • Assess their marketing skills and availability

Under Contract?  

The real estate term “under contract” means that a binding agreement exists between a buyer and a seller involving property. The buyer and the seller agree with the terms in the contract. When a property is under contract, the seller may not enter into a contract with any other buyer. This is because the buyer is under obligation to purchase the property from the seller. The process is as follows:

 

  1. Your escrow or earnest money deposit check will be cashed

  2. Provide sellers disclosures

  3. Wait for the buyers due diligence period elapse to acquire financing options, inspections, appraisal, and association approvals when needed.

  4. Final Walk-through (the day before closing)

  5. Closing Day
