Have the Appraisal Done during the Finance condition period

If you buying a house, and it is very unique or in below average condition, confirm when the appraisal will be done, you might have to wait for it to remove the finance condition. Normally appraisals are done about 1 week before closing. Under recent market conditions this could cause problems on closing. 

Should I renovate before SELLING my HOME? YES!

Thinking for renovating or fixing before Selling? Good idea, many purchasers are not able to look past needed repairs or worn out decor. A small investment may pay out big. This is especially true if you have already upgraded parts of your property. If you have a completely renovated kitchen, you have now put people's expectations that the bathrooms should be renovated, or at least not falling apart. Remember cosmetic is everything, if it looks good, you will get a good offer, if it works good, then you get to keep the offer that you received. Keep an eye on everything furniture, appliances, odors, lighting, landscape, noises, and overall feel.

Buy a house that feels right for you.

When I first started as a REALTOR in 1994, I would always advise clients to get the most for the money. The biggest, most upgraded or best area for the MONEY. As TIME went on and I saw different odd things happen and also seeing many cultures beliefs, I changed my tune. I now advise me clients, choose the home that FEELS RIGHT for you.
