Are You Selling Your Home?



Hi Prospects & Friends,

If you're thinking about selling your home at any given time, I want too quickly share with you some valuable tips. Most sellers really don't bother trying to get an appraisal and a inspection just for "personal reasons" and they rather just let the buyer and mortgage company present them with any issues that may arise once the buyer buys and has them as leverage in the contract. A valuable tip would be before you hire a real estate broker to sell your home, to just hire a independent appraiser and a independent inspector to provide these reports for you just for your own benefit and knowledge of what's going on with your property, before it hits the market. These reports can become costly for some, and maybe a out of pocket expense well not worth it, but if you had to just pick the one most likely to benefit you more, it would be the inspection report, and you could just hire a real estate broker to provide you a CMA (competitive market analysis) which is free and provides you with an adjusted value from the listings and solds recently on the market that are comparable with your property, instead of paying for the appraisal. At least having the current inspection report on hand, would really benefit you since it would list what needs be repaired, as well as things that mayn't be up to the newest a/c, plumbing or electrical codes. So before you think twice about ignoring hiring a inspector before you list your home, you might just want to call around and get some quotes on an inspection for your home, because not knowing is one thing, but coupling that with neglect and deferred maintenance going on in unforeseen areas of your home can be much more worse, by the time the buyer uses their "option period" to inspect your home with their inspector, and you might just lose a sale if the issues are far more worse from the buyers eyes.

Renting A Luxury Apartment

 


Hi Prospects & Friends,

Wanted to briefly share what makes a luxury apartment different from regular apartments. First and foremost luxury apartments are more expensive, because they come with higher quality upgrades with the interior/exterior, appliances and the amenities. Some will offer:

  • Valet parking
  • Maid service 
  • Coffee shops 
  • Inside retail mini boutiques for shopping normally located on first floor of the apartment building but above the apartment complex garage
  • Golf courses
  • Indoor pools/spas

While others will just as I mentioned will offer higher upgraded interior/exterior amenities within the apartment complex and the apartment itself. Knowing if this kind of apartment is for you would require you to know what it is you must have, coupled what you have too have. Hiring the appropriate apartment locator for this type of renting journey can help assist you much better along, versus trying to find your luxury apartment yourself. Doing this kind of apartment search yourself could cost you thousands, because of not knowing which apartments are running the specials, and yes even luxury apartments run apartment specials from time to time too. So if you are a luxury apartment renter book your virtual appointment with us, and we will gladly assist you.
