Landscaping for Residential Real Estate

This real estate video discusses the topic of landscaping. This will be important if you are selling your home or are thinking about selling it. There are a few quick and inexpensive landscaping things that you can do to really make your house pop. Use colorful flowers near the front door to draw the home buyers eyes towards the front door. A yard full of green lush grass is inviting to a prospective buyer driving by the home. You’ll want to keep trees trimmed below the first floor of the house. If you show the house in the evenings, landscape lighting can have a tremendous impact on a prospective buyers view of the home. These are just a few ways that you can use landscaping to make a dramatic impact on the look of your home.

Home Inspections

This real estate video covers the topic of home inspections. When a potential home buyer makes an offer to a home seller and they accept, they go under contract. The buyer then gets a chance to inspect the general systems of the house. The purpose of the home inspection is to ensure that there aren’t major safety hazards, problems, or costs that the buyer will inherit at the time that they purchase the home. All homes will have some problems because no home is perfect. The inspection report will have items that may need to be addressed but the thing to keep in mind is that the buyer should really focus on the major issues involved with the home and not all the small details that can be corrected inexpensively over time.

Pre-Inspections

This real estate video is about pre-inspections, which are a little different than standard home inspections because they are done by the home seller instead of the home buyer. A home seller would hire a professional home inspector to come out and fully evaluate the home in order to determine what things should be corrected before putting the home on the market. The main benefit a seller receives from a pre-inspection is that they get a chance to remedy any problems before a buyer sees them and begins to worry that the problem could be much worse than it actually is. Pre-inspections end up saving the seller money in negotiations.

Surveys

This real estate video explores the concept of surveys. Any type of land that will be transferred from one owner to another will need a survey, including residential, land, farm and ranch. The survey is a simple concept, but an extremely important one. It’s basically the document that dictates the boundaries and foot print of a property and dictates what is owned. A surveyor will create a sketch of the property outlining the physical boundaries of the property. This may include a fence line, or easements that the city may have utilities in. In a residential real estate transaction, a seller can use a previous survey that they may have had created when they purchased the home, which can save a few hundred dollars.

Earnest Money

This real estate video discusses the topic of earnest money. After committing to the price the home buyer is willing to pay for the purchase of their new home in the contract, they are agreeing to the earnest money that will be put up in order to demonstrate to the home seller that they are a serious buyer and are committed to the transaction. Earnest money is typically 1% of the purchase price. The conditions of the earnest money are written into the contract and as long as everything goes according to plan and the buyer buys and the seller sells the earnest money will be applied to the buyers closing costs.

Closing Costs

This real estate video discusses the topic of closing costs. Closing costs are the financial commitment that each party has made that will be settled up at closing. Closing costs consist of the items that will be required to legally and ethically transfer ownership of the homes title. Sellers generally pay the sellers title policy and buyers tend to pay their loan related fees. Keep in mind that all closing costs are negotiable.

Selling Overview

This real estate video gives an overview of the process of selling a home. If you’re not selling it by owner you’ll want to choose a trusted real estate professional. You’ll want to review the agents marketing plan and game plan for getting your home sold for top dollar. Then, you’ll want to agree on the price that you’re willing to accept and think about how you’ll prepare the home for the sale. After you have an accepted contract it could take a few more weeks before everything is completed so during that time you’ll want to decide if you will be buying another house or renting. Then all that’s left is to decide when the house should be packed up and ready for your next move.

Home Buying Overview

This real estate video gives an overview of the home buying process. The process would start with meeting with a real estate expert that you find comfortable to work with and whom you think will do an outstanding job for you. Next you’ll want to speak with a reputable lender in order to get your budget in place and know the amount you’ll be able to afford if you’re financing. Then you can begin the fun part of actually going out to check out homes. Once you find a home you’re happy with you’ll want to have your agent submit an offer on it. Once the offer is accepted you’ll want to begin to plan for your move and begin to get things in order. Once the home is closed and funded it’s yours and you’ll be able to move in and begin enjoying it. Don’t forget to keep in touch with the professionals who helped you throughout the process. Congrats on your new home!
