Real Estate Lingo Explained

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with HomeBuyer Brokerage

Buying a Home for the First Time or Buying a Home For the First Time in Many Years?

Real estate has its own lingo. To have a successful experience, it's a good idea to learn keywords.

What is a down payment, earnest money deposit, fair market value, market value, and assessed value? What does an appraiser do and why would I need an appraisal? What is post-occupancy?

Attorney & Broker Rich Rosa, the president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents, explains these terms and the home buying process. Rich Rosa lives and works as an exclusive buyer broker in the Boston, New Hampshire & Rhode Island area. Learn more about Rich and Buyers Brokers Only LLC.

Real Estate Terms are common to us in the business, however, many buyers when entering this new arena are unfamiliar with the words and what they actually mean. And depending on where you live, things are not always the same -- state to state. Enjoyed listening to your podcast. The information shared was valuable to anyone on the lookout for a new home! Thank you.
