Tips For Buyers in Richmond, Virginia - Glen Allen, Midlothian, Manakin-Sabot, Mechanicsville, Henrico, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Powhatan, Louisa, Amelia, Cumberland, Prince George, Fort Lee, Dinwiddie, The Entire Richmond VA Metro Area

If no one wants to catch a case of buyer's remorse, why are there so many people out there who suffer from it? The answer is simple, most of these people engaged in a transaction without enough knowledge and information.

The best way to make sure that you choose the right home is to properly prepare yourself. The purchase of a home is a tremendous investment, both monetarily and emotionally. The purpose of this page is to in provide you with some tips that will help your transaction progress smoothly and result in you being a happy homeowner.

Remember, if you have any questions I am always just a phone call or email away.

• Get help. Your home is likely to represent one of the largest investments in your life. In order to make sure that the transaction goes smoothly it is of vital importance that you choose the right agent to represent your interests. The right agent will be someone whose experience and personality makes you feel comfortable. You should try to find an agent that is familiar and knowledgeable about the area you plan to move into.
• Get pre-approved. Do you already know how much home you can afford? There is nothing more frustrating than looking for a home, finding the perfect home, and then discovering that it is out of your price range. Speak with a lender to learn about the different financing options available to you. When you find the right lender get the paperwork processed so that you will be ready to buy when you find the right home.
• Avoid major purchases. In order to determine the amount of home you can afford a lender uses your debt-to-income ratio. This ratio is the percentage of your pre-tax income that you spend on debt. Your debt ratio will include: monthly housing costs, car payments, credit cards, student loans, and any other installment debt. If you take on more debt right before buying a home it is going to have an impact on the amount of the loan that the lender will finance.
• Sign up for Property Watch. In order to make an educated decision you need to know what is available and how much it is going for. You can browse all the active listings from my website. Once you have found some homes you like save those searches and sign up for property watch so that new listings will be emailed to you. The best homes move fast so you need to make sure that you are on top of the available inventory at all times so you do not miss out.
• Ask Questions. No one knows the home better than the seller of the property; however it is not always in the seller's best interest to disclose all the information. If you find out the seller's motivation for selling you might be able to negotiate a better deal on the home. Try to find out the last time service was performed on the roof, furnace, and water heating. Asking the right questions now can end up saving you a lot of money in the long run.
• Get inspected. The last thing you want to discover after you have bought a home is that you have purchased a "money pit". By "money pit" I am referring to a home that is full of defects that are going to end up costing you a lot of money. Save yourself a lot of time in future litigation and renovation by bringing in a licensed home inspector before you buy. If any problems are found it will steer you away from a bad decision or help you negotiate a better price.

RE/MAX, short for "real estate maximums", was founded in 1973 by Dave Liniger, an agent who saw a flawed system and set out to fix it. He felt that agents should pay their fair share of the office expenses and keep the remainder of their commissions, just like doctors and lawyers. The company he worked for turned his idea away, so he set off on his own and created RE/MAX. He didn’t realize it at the time, but his revolutionary ideas would produce the largest, most successful real estate company in the world.

He set up a business model that allows agents to keep their commissions, run their own businesses, and simply pay an agreed upon fee for their fair share of the overhead. Liniger’s concept put tremendous pressure on the other companies to change the way that agents are compensated. Agents across America have financially benefited from the RE/MAX system.

Today, RE/MAX has more than 120,000 agents in he United States and over 65 other countries. It is the only real estate franchise company in the world to achieve nearly 400 consecutive months of growth (and counting) an achievement RE/MAX accomplished one agent at a time.

Each RE/MAX office is an independently owned and operated franchise. We all share the famous balloon logo, the national advertising, and many amazing corporate resources, like the RE/MAX Satellite Network, but each franchise offers its own unique values and benefits. RE/MAX Allegiance has the size, technology, products and buying power to give agents benefits that smaller franchises could never afford. We are the world’s #1 RE/MAX brokerage. We’re not just RE/MAX, we’re RE/MAX Allegiance.
