 Common Questions Buyers Ask
Welcome > For Buyers > Common Questions Buyers Ask ...

Below is a list of common questions I get from clients. If you have a question, just drop me an email at Jim@JimClauser.com and I'll get you the answer! 


Question:
Do I need a home inspection on new construction?
Answer:
Yes, you should get a home inspection on any property you have made an offer on. 

Question
Who will schedule my closing?
Answer:
The closing date will be determined at the time of contract. Your realtor or loan officer will call the attorney's office and schedule a date and time for closing. 

Question:
Can I write a personal check for closing costs and down payment?
Answer:
Georgia law does not permit a closing attorney to accept a personal check. You will need a cashiers check or money order. 

Question
What is a Competitive Market Analysis?
Answer
Setting the right price is an important first step in the process of selling a home. Is it necessary to spend $200 to $400 for a professional appraisal of your property before placing your home on the market? 

A professional appraiser's opinion of a property's market value is based on the recent sales of similar homes in the neighborhood, and on the square footage and condition of the property. Different appraisers might come up with different figures. Even if all of them agreed on a value, there is no guarantee that you would receive that amount for your property.  

An alternative to a professional appraisal is to ask a professional real estate agent for a written market analysis of your property. This analysis will include information about recent home sales in your neighborhood, as well as how those homes compare to yours. Real estate agents may provide this service with no charge or obligation. If you are still unsure of the value of your home, you may wish to pay for an appraisal.

Real Estate Tips
Closing or Settlement >Preparing for the Walk Through

When moving out of a house you have lived in for a long time, you may discover years' worth of dust that was previously concealed by your home furnishings. If you don't have the time or energy to clean your house for the new owners, a useful option is to pay a professional to do the job.

Before going to the closing table, your buyers will have a last chance to walk through the house and check the appliances, mechanical systems and overall condition to make sure everything is consistent with the sales contract. Even though they really want the house, at this point "buyers' remorse" may be prompting them to look for a reason to call the transaction off. Because an otherwise minor problem or defect can sometimes trigger last-minute cold feet, your best insurance is to make the house look great. Everything should be working properly, and all the agreed-upon repairs should have been made before the buyers arrive to look at the house. You can promote a more relaxed, positive atmosphere for the closing if you take special care in preparing for the walk-through inspection.
