There are always important changes happening in the real estate market, locally and nationally. These changes can affect YOU.
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.

I LOVE MY JOB! Plain and simple. I don't have a team, I work alone with excellent systems in place and a great company support staff. I love the one-on-one contact with my buyers and sellers. I've been licensed in Missouri since 1987. I've had 7 corporate moves, living on both the East Coast, the West Coast and places in between. I personally know the challenges and stress involved in moving. My goal is to give my clients the kind of service I would want to receive -- and have fun while doing it!
