   We have all known or have tested the waters as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO). A FSBO is generally looking to maximize profits when selling their home. By removing a Realtor from the equation, a FSBO stands to save, on average, 6% of the sold price for their home. Another commonly perceived benefit of selling a home without a Realtor would industry knowledge – based on the availability of the Internet information.

  Once your offer to purchase a home is accepted by the seller, the lender and the title company will start the “Closing Process”. The lender and the title companies will be working simultaneously to prepare documents and ensure the title of the property is free of liens, breaks in the title chain or claims to the home. It’s very important to work closely with both lender and title. To help with the process of closing, understanding the title company’s needs will help with an on-time closing. Upon acceptance of the offer by the seller, the Realtor will request title work from the title company processing the closing transaction.  The goal during the process is to insure there are no defects or issues with the title work before taking ownership on the home.

When scheduling the inspection, the inspector’s credentials are verified. No one should be allowed to be alone in your home without being licensed, insured and registered with the local Realtor’s association.  The lead time for the inspection will vary, depending on the terms and conditions of your purchase agreement with the buyer. Usually, most buyers request 10-14 calendar days to schedule and complete the inspection ... 04/06/2018
