Home Warranty of America - 06/27/08 03:52 PM
As your buyer's agent, we will ask for a home warranty to be included in the sales contract, to be paid for by the seller. This is a negotiating point, which the seller may or may not be agreeable to.
Some sellers have already included a home warranty in the sale of their home. Other sellers have not included a home warranty and this additional item is negotiable.
From the HWA Home Warranty of America website, here are a few of the benefits of having a home warranty:
"An HWA™ home warranty allows you to never worry about … (0 comments)

Location, Location, Location - 06/24/08 07:57 PM
When you are looking for a home to purchase, you must take it upon yourself to do some research on the towns you are considering.
You might think that as your buyer's agent, that would be my job. But as a licensed real estate agent, I cannot label one town over another as "good" or "bad" - besides the fact this would merely be an opinion anyway.
You need to "Google" any of the towns you are considering and do some research.
In addition to the extensive amount of information that is available on the Internet, you also … (1 comments)

Let Me Check My Book - 06/19/08 08:31 AM
How do you keep track of the homes you're seeing?
We can all agree that everyone is different. Some people are super organized and can recall all the specifics of each and every house they've seen. Others have a hard time remembering what town we are in.
When we meet for the first time, as your buyer's agent, I will bring you a home buyer's notebook with various information including checklists for buying a home and my contact information on the front. Inside the notebook is a spot to keep the homes we've seen. I will three hole punch … (0 comments)

Private Well and Septic - How do you know if it's okay?
Chances are good, if you are searching for a home in a more rural or unincorporated area, the home could have a private well and septic system.
In the Northern Illinois area, the real estate contract used provides for such:
WELL AND/OR SEPTIC/SANITARY INSPECTIONS:
Seller shall obtain at Seller’s expense a well water test stating that the well delivers not less than five (5) gallons of water per minute and including a bacteria and nitrate test (and lead test for FHA loans) and/or a septic … (0 comments)

Lay of the Land - 06/12/08 07:30 PM
Who pays for the land survey and what does it tell me?
In the Northern Illinois area, the survey is paid for by the seller. The survey provided must be current, within six (6) months of the contract date. The survey must also be done by a professional Illinois land surveyor.
The survey is typically staked out at the four lot corners. There is also a survey on paper, that is given to you at the closing.
At the closing, your real estate attorney will look over the survey with you, to see if there are any issues … (0 comments)

Explaining a "Short Sale" - 06/06/08 10:06 AM
With so much information in the media about foreclosures, I thought I would take the time to offer some helpful information on the subject.
From the Illinois Association of Realtors, the IAR Legal Hotline:
What is a short sale?
A short sale is a situation in which the real estate seller owes more money on the loan(s) secured by the real estate than the sale of the property will likely produce on the market. The seller is in a distressed situation, but the bank/lender has not yet taken title from the seller through the foreclosure process. At this … (0 comments)

Damaged Goods - 06/03/08 05:13 PM
What happens when the house is damaged during the move?
First, it depends on the severity of the damage. Occasionally, a wall, door or window might get damaged while moving furniture. Sometimes during a move, a floor may be scratched.
If the seller is moving several days ahead of the closing, there is time to make any necessary repairs, arrange for an estimate of repair work - or offer a fair credit amount (at closing) that is acceptable to both parties.
As the seller, it is always best to be upfront and honest about any damage that occurs … (0 comments)
