Cosmetic Improvements >Handle Needed Repairs Early

There is a standard chain of events that occurs when an offer comes in on a home. After a meeting of the minds, the buyer often brings in a home inspector who may find a few items that need to be repaired. The real estate agent gives the homeowner a list of the requested repairs. What comes next?

In most transactions, the seller will take care of the repairs. Many sellers wait until the week before the closing to call someone to do the work, because they want to be sure that they are going to make it to the closing table before they spend money on repair work. If you are responsible for making repairs to a home you are selling, make sure you have the work done well in advance of the closing date by licensed professionals who will stand behind their work. If the work is done at the last minute and is incomplete or unsatisfactory, it could cause complications at the closing. You should provide the buyers with all the receipts and the names of the persons to contact in case there is a problem with the repairs.

Q	What is considered the primary factor distinguishing buyers of prestigious properties from the average home buyer?
A	Financing doesn't worry these buyers; they often put down 40 percent or more or pay cash for a property

During my nearly 20 years as a Realtor, I have closed transactions in many different market conditions. Because the real estate industry has become more sophisticated and challenging, you need a professional who understands the business and is positioned to stay ahead of the game. My grasp of the local real estate market will provide you with invaluable insights into buying or selling your home.

I constantly research the market so that I know how your property should be priced effectively for sale. And if you're buying, my knowledge of the neighborhood will help you choose the perfect home. I've been awarded a Lifetime membership in the New Jersey Association of Realtors' Distinguished Sales Club. I'm a member of the West Essex Board of Realtors and Garden State Multiple Listing Service. I'm a full-time Realtor since 1984, and I've closed more than $35 million worth of transactions since 2000.
