Protesting Your Taxes on Residential Real Estate

This educational real estate video is about protesting your tax value on your home. Usually your tax authority will send you an assessment sometime around the beginning of the year telling you the amount of money they are assessing your homes value at. This will determine the amount that they will tax it at for the year. If you think that they assessed your taxes on a higher value you would want to have a trusted Realtor run an advanced market assessment of your homes values compared to recently sold similar homes so that you can have data that supports your decision. This can result in a major savings for you on your taxes.

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.

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!
