    Answered Questions

    What are some questions you wish you asked when buying your first home?

    These are some good questions to ask: Do you have experience representing buyers and sellers in the neighborhoods I'm looking at? Do you have experience representing buyers and sellers with the sale or purchase of homes similar to the homes I will be looking at? Can I preview your Buyer Representation Agreement now? Followed by, what fees do you charge? How are you compensated? What happens if a Seller is not willing to cover your entire fee? Do you have a list of preferred lenders that I can speak with? Do you have any past customers or clients who would be willing to speak to me about their experience with you?

    Who has responsibility of tree near my property?

    The answer to this is going to vary state by state. For example, in Florida the tree is the responsiblity of the person whose property it is located on. However, if your neighbor's tree branches are encroaching on your property you may trim and maintain them. If their tree falls on your property, the damage would fall under your insurance policy. Recently Florida tried passing a law that would have made propery damage from a neighbor's tree the neighbor's responsibility, but the legislature did not pass it. I would speak to an attorney in your state.

    Should I waive the home inspection to make my offer stronger?

    ABSOLUTELY NOT! There are many other ways to make your offer competitive, including a very short inspection period. There are so many unknowns and for most buyers waiving an inspection would be a tremendous risk.
