INSPECTIONS AND REPAIR NEGOTIATIONS
Steps while in the “Pending stage”
- Assist with the negotiations for items that present themselves during the inspection.
- Discuss options including negotiating actual repairs prior to closing, requesting a credit for repairs, or accepting a property as is.
- Coordinate Buyer’s appraisal appointments and requirements.
- Help navigate through local challenges that may arise including outstanding permit and lien issues.
- Act as a liaison between the Buyer and the title company/escrow holder.
TITLE INSURANCE
- Title insurance is a crucial type of insurance that can provide you with peace of mind when buying a property.
- It helps protect you or your lender from any prior rights or claims that other parties may have to the property, such as liens, unpaid taxes, or undisclosed heirs.
- It can protect you from any outstanding debts of previous property owners, such as mortgages or unpaid bills.
- By obtaining title insurance, you can ensure that you are the rightful owner of the property and that your investment is protected.
- If you are interested in obtaining title insurance, we would be happy to refer you to local title companies who can provide the necessary protection.
Final Contract
We are almost at the finish line! However, there are still several tasks that need to be accomplished. These include:
- Meeting final deadlines,
- Delivering necessary documents,
- Coordinating the final appraisal,
- Liaising with the your lender regarding the mortgage,
- Coordinating with the title company or attorney,
- And scheduling the walk-through.
If we are also handling the sale of your property and a new purchase simultaneously, we need to be mindful of your property exit, and schedule both transactions accordingly.
