Benefits of using a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Professional
A real estate transaction is complicated. In most cases, buying or selling a home requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, title policies and settlement statements. A knowledgeable guide through this complexity can help you avoid delays or costly mistakes.
Real estate has it's own language. If you don't know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it's important to work with someone who speaks that language.
Your COLDWELL BANKER Dallas/Fort Worth sales professional has done it before. Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. And even if you've done it before, laws and regulations change. That's why having an expert on your side is critical.
Your COLDWELL BANKER Dallas/Fort Worth sales professional provides objectivity. Since a home often symbolizes family, rest, and security, not just four walls and roof, home selling or buying is often a very emotional undertaking. And for most people, a home is the biggest purchase they'll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you keep focused on both the business and emotional issues most important to you.
Your COLDWELL BANKER Dallas/Fort Worth sales professional can help you determine your buying power -- that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. If you give a us some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, we can refer you to Coldwell Banker Home Loans so that we can provide the very best in financial services to you.
Your COLDWELL BANKER Dallas/Fort Worth sales professional has many resources to assist you in your home search. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market, and it will take some investigation by your agent to find all available properties.
Your COLDWELL BANKER Dallas/Fort Worth sales professional can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property. We have access to a variety of informational resources. In addition, can provide local community information on utilities, zoning. schools, etc. There are two things you'll want to know. First, will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?
Your COLDWELL BANKER Dallas/Fort Worth sales professional can help you negotiate. There are myriad negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or equipment. The purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. We can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.
Your COLDWELL BANKER Dallas/Fort Worth sales professional provides due diligence during the evaluation of the property. Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name a few. We can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports. You will also want to see a preliminary report on the title of the property. Title indicates ownership of property and can be mired in confusing status of past owners or rights of access. The title to most properties will have some limitations; for example, easements (access rights) for utilities. We can work with your title company or attorney to help you resolve issues that might cause problems at a later date.
