Smart Hints to Close a Real Estate Deal

March 4, 2012 by The Inside Press

By Bonnie Golub

In order to ensure a smooth transaction in real estate, participation is required by both  buyer and  seller. Understanding your role in the transaction as either buyer or seller can go a long way to reach a happy conclusion.

Buyer:
·  Retain a Realtor who will represent your interests  and will provide you with comparables so that you understand  the value of the house in which you have interest.
·  Choose an Inspector who  does all the inspections required,  so that they may be completed quickly.
·  Choose an Attorney who is familiar with local law and practice and who is available.
·  Choose a mortgage company with a solid reputation.

Seller:
·  Choose a Realtor who is experienced and knowledgeable and heed his/her advice on tips to get your house market ready. (certificates of occupancy, painting, decluttering)
·  Allow reasonable access to the house to accommodate showings.
·  Choose an Attorney who knows local law and is available to you most of the time.
·  Dig out your old title papers and have all documentation  available to the attorney and to your buyer.
·  Know where you intend to move so that you are not caught  short when you receive an offer.
