After months of searching, you've finally found your dream home! But before you can close the deal, you have to do a dreaded home inspection. What if the inspector finds major problems that scuttle the deal? How will you know if the issues are serious enough to make you reconsider, or if you can handle them?
The good news is that the home inspection process doesn't HAVE to be scary. In this episode, Lance talks with Richard Hull, a professional home inspector and owner of a Bloomington-area Pillar to Post home inspection business. Lance and Richard break down how home inspectors do their thing, what they're looking for, how to parse and understand a home inspection report, and how sellers can do a pre-inspection to prepare their homes to go on the market.

Managing a Contingent Offer

Btown Real Property Talk

play

10/24/23 • 21 min

You're in the market for a new house, and you finally find the perfect one!
BUT ...
The offer you submit is contingent on selling YOUR house, so you have enough money for a down payment.
And just when you think the house is yours, someone else swoops in with a non-contingent offer ... giving you 24 hours to withdraw the contingency.
Which ain't gonna happen. And so, you're back to square one.
In this episode, Lance and his former client, Eric Doades, tell the story of how Eric and his family dealt with the roller coaster ride of making contingent offer and how Lance not only expertly managed the process but also dug deep into his network to give the story a happy ending!

Realtors often get a bad rap.
At first glance, it might seem like they cash in without doing much to earn their commission.
But when you take a closer look, you'll find that Realtors do a lot of work behind the scenes to help make the home buying and selling process easy and less stressful for their clients.
In this episode, I get into the important work that Realtors do to educate their clients, schedule showings, negotiate to get the best deals, and much more, and why it all matters.
