Seller Myths #4
I need many open house signs at multiple key intersections.
Wrong again. Savvy listing agents put out tons of signs because they are free advertising. Buyers who have seen the home online do not need directional signs to find the home. With open houses dates and times syndicating to all the major web portals, buyers simply use the GPS feature in their phones.
As for the neighbors, they will not come because you posted signs at far away intersections. To get them, you want signs close to the open house.

Let's talk about contractors....from roofers to flooring guys and everything in between...they should be licensed, bonded, and insured. REQUIRE a copy of their insurance, bond, and license. THEN CALL their insurance company to ensure their coverage hasn't lapsed. NOBODY starts a job without providing this information to you! Oh the horror stories from folks who did not make this a requirement...

Hey all you VA buyers out there - the VA has removed the cap on the amount of $$ they will guarantee on a home purchase! That means you no longer have to pay 25% of the difference over the prior cap! 100% no down payment, no matter the price of the home! Yay! (i.e. prior loan cap was $484,000 so if you wanted to buy a home worth $584,000 you would have to pay 25% of the difference, or $25,000 - yikes!).

How much does it cost to buy a home? It's more than just the price of the home!
What kind of inspections should I do when I'm buying a home?
1. General Home inspection - cost depends on size of home, typically around $400. This is a general overview of the 6 main systems of the home: heating, cooling, roof, crawlspace, plumbing, and electric. It should also identify cosmetic issues, and issues with blown window seals.
2. Radon test - $125 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Surgeon General’s Office have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon. https://www.radon.com/radon_facts/
3. Mold inspection - free, by professional mold inspection company, visual only
4. Mold air quality test - $300, tests for mold spores not visible during the inspection. Only way to determine quantities and types of mold in a home.
5. Well test - $300 for potability, flow, and contaminants
6. Septic - $400 for inspection and pump
7. Asbestos test - $50 - many older homes still have asbestos in the ceiling texture. Asbestos is not harmful until airborn, so if you don't disturb it, shouldn't be a problem. Removing it can only be done by an asbestos abatement company, and there are strict EPA guidelines to doing so. Yes, the test is cheap, the removal not so much, but removal is not required. https://www.epa.gov/asbestos/learn-about-asbestos
8. Additional system-specific inspections, depending on outcome of the general home inspection could include: roof inspection ($150), electrical inspection ($250), plumbing inspection ($150), HVAC inspection ($200)
Average cost to determine you have done everything possible to ensure you are purchasing a healthy home: $800-$2500.
