Did you have a licensed home inspector? Did you know the age of the furnace when you purchased the home? Were you at the home when the inspector looked at the house? Was a home warranty suggested?

Price right, stage, if possible, great marketing, proactive realtor.

The reason many homes go online Thursday mornings is that the realtors are trying to get the home on the market right before the weekend when buyers are most apt to plan their weekend house viewing. Also great for coming soon listings because the open houses usually start on the weekends.

I have never seen that. Discount commissions come with discount services. The old saying, you get what you paid for is very true.,

Hire an agent who goes the extra mile and makes your home look beautiful in pictures and in person, does a full-blown marketing program and is savvy in the real estate industry. A professional stager such as myself maximizes the value of homes!

Yes, you can. Sounds like you may have chosen the wrong realtor. I would call their manager.

you would have to add it to the purchase price and have it deducted at closing.

The first step is deciding where you want to live. The second step is seeing what the community and prices are. Also, you should get prequalified to determine with taxes and fees what your monthly carrying costs will be. If you have a home to sell and need the proceeds to buy, there are wonderful programs that accommodate that. eq
