Asheville Real Estate: 10 Steps to Buying Your Home....
Step 10 - Post Closing
Congratulations
on the purchase of your new home!
Now that you have taken ownership of the
property you will need to have your local services such as electricity,
cable, and phone set up. To do this online, click here to go to
Asheville Links as
well as to more of my concierge services at
My Favorite Things.
Also, you should
already be aware of the expenses that are typically associated with owning a
home. Neighborhood Association fees, landscaping costs, and annual taxes
should be budgeted for throughout the year to keep from getting into a
financial bind.
I
can save you time and money by helping you coordinate the set-up of these
local services. I know who the local vendors are for such services as water
and electricity, as well as others, so I can help provide you with a list of
contacts.
Again, I
can save you time and money by being present at the closing reading the
documents on your behalf and answering any questions or helping to resolve
any issues that may come up. I will also be available to manage any last
minute or unexpected details that come up.
So I hope you can see that having the right real estate
professional by your side can greatly improve your home-buying experience. A
good rule of thumb is to interview a minimum of three candidates. Here are
10 questions to ask during an interview:
- Are you a full-time professional REALTOR®? How long have you worked
full time in real estate?
- What geographic areas do you specialize in?
- Do you have a Website? What information can I find there?
- How will you keep me informed during my home search and throughout
the transaction?
- Do you have a staff or a team? If so, what roles will they play in
my transaction?
- Will you show me properties from other companies’ listings?
(Some real estate companies do offer their buyers’ agents a higher
commission if they are able to sell “in-house” listings. In those
instances, there can be added incentive to limit the range of homes you
are shown. This may affect your home search and how much your agent’s
fee will be.)
- Will you represent me exclusively, or will you also represent the
seller? May I have that in writing?
- How will you get paid? How are your fees structured? May I have that
in writing?
- What distinguishes you from other real estate agents? What is your
negotiating style?
- May I contact some of your recent clients as references?
