Whether you’re buying your first home or your fifth, having a real estate agent helping you through the process is a invaluable tool. Below are some tips we have come up with after many years in the business!!
Even if the quality of a school district doesn’t matter to you now, remember it might someday to another buyer.
Expect lower maintenance costs with a brand-new home.
When interest rates are low, opt for a fixed mortgage.
Pay attention to floor plans. Changing layouts of rooms later, can be costly.
You can deduct on that years tax return points paid by either party on the purchase of your own residence.
If the present owner has a title insurance policy less than 3 years old, you could have substantial savings by buying a reissue of that policy rather than a completely new one.
Pay attention to the original listing date of the homes you inspect. Sellers tend to be more flexible in price the longer the home is on the market.
A house that is oriented to take advantage of the sun, wind and topography costs less to heat and cool which can save you substantially on utility bills.
Buying a house whose style is uniquely individual tends to minimize, not maximize, its resale value because the house will appeal to a more limited audience of potential buyers.
If you think you may need more space in the near future, be sure the house and lot will allow for expansion.
Redoing a kitchen can be expensive. Be sure you know what you need and want before you buy.
Before you buy a house that may have a wet basement problem, get a good unbiased diagnosis from a professional with moisture control experience. The solution could be costly.
A roof that complements the style of a home and is carefully maintained adds to the home’s visual appeal and its resale value.
A light-colored roof reflects heat and is best in areas where air-conditioning is the greater energy user. In colder weather climates, a dark roof is preferable because it absorbs more heat. In temperate climates, a middle-range shade is best.
The three most popular wall choices are brick, wood siding and stucco. About half of all home shoppers prefer brick for exterior walls; about one-third prefer wood siding; and about one-fifth prefer stucco.
Wood floors suggest warmth, quality and good taste and are an asset when it comes time to sell a house.
Most home shoppers prefer a combination of ceramic tile and vinyl wallpaper as a covering for bathroom walls, creating a positive effect on the house’s resale value. Ceramic tile is usually installed wherever water comes in contact with the wall.
Plant deciduous trees, shrubs and vines on south and west sides of the home to provide shade in the summer and sunshine in the winter. Remember trees enhance the beauty and value of a lot and house.
DON’T Make These Mistakes…..
Don’t buy an unusual home if you have to resell soon.
Don’t buy a house with foundation problems. Most foundation problems can be corrected, but repairs are usually expensive.
Never tell a seller’s broker how much you’ll raise your offer for a particular house.

Many people ask, “How do I buy a Foreclosure Home?”
A Foreclosure Home can generally be purchased just like the next resale home, with a loan from your local bank, mortgage company, or any other type of residential lender. Some foreclosures will need substantial improvements to qualify for normal financing and some sellers will offer you owner financing, but most prefer you to get your own financing locally.
A foreclosure home generally sells in 90 days or less, as they are generally priced below market and appraisal. It is not unlikely to have multiple offers so you don’t want to low ball when you make an offer or your offer might not ever be considered. You may lose the property to someone else without having a chance for a counter-offer. Besides, they are generally priced right to begin with.
Generally, Sellers of Foreclosure properties will NOT negotiate a contract if the buyer’s contract includes a sale contingency or depends on the sale of other real property.
Earnest money of 2-3% of the purchase price or $1,000 minimum is the normal amount that the Seller will require to hold the property. Earnest money just shows good faith on the part of the buyer and is credited to the buyers at closing.
The seller has never occupied the foreclosure home and will not provide a disclosure statement.Generally, there will be an addendum attached to an offer that explains this and other terms of the contract. You DO have the right to an inspection of the home, but the seller is under no obligation to make any repairs. Generally, foreclosure properties are sold AS-IS. You buy it and fix it up yourself and you can sometimes save a good deal of money.

Is the real estate section of your local paper filled with stories about how 
slow the real estate market in your area is? Is it taking months to sell the homes on the market? If this description fits your area, and you have been waiting for the perfect time to buy a house, this is the time!
This kind of market is referred to as a buyers market for good reason—it is an opportunity for buyers to select from a large number of homes that could satisfy their needs. Everyone involved is ready to bend over backwards to make it possible for you to buy your dream home. Most sellers are highly motivated and so are the local Realtors, loan officers, title companies, and other professionals involved in the transaction. It is important to remember that the real estate market runs in cycles, and conditions can change without a lot of warning. This could be the perfect time to contact a good Realtor to discuss your needs and to explore the possibilities available to you.

Gwinnett County is one of America’s fastest growing areas - and has been for the last 20 years. Gwinnett County has something for everyone. It combines the advantages of a big metropolitan area with the comforts and ease of living in a small community.
Seger Realty has been an important part of buying and selling Gwinnett County homes since 1998. We’ve grown with Gwinnett County, appreciate the character of the neighborhoods, and love the unique towns.
Gwinnett County covers 437 square miles and contains approximately 256,000 housing units. There are many towns and communities including Loganville, Snellville, Lawrenceville, Norcross, Lilburn, Duluth, Dacula, Buford, Sugar Hill, and Suwanee.
We know these communities well and enjoy showing homes here. Please contact us at 706-310-0700 or info@segerrealty.com to allow us to help you buy or sell homes in Gwinnett County.
Be sure that you use a real estate agency that is actually selling homes right now, not just one that claims they are selling homes. We outsell most other agents in the area more than 10 to 1.
We are selling a home every day of the week. We know what it takes to get things sold in any market. Call or e-mail us today before you make the wrong decision and it ends up costing you dearly or wasting your precious time.
Putting together an offer on a home is easy if the buyer has a lot of money, a terrific job and impeccable credit. Many buyers are not in that situation, however. And while sellers like to get their asking price, good listing agents prepare them for the possibility of receiving offers that involve some compromises.
Successful Realtors know how to put together creative offers and do whatever it takes to make a transaction work. If a buyer is low on cash, the agent may structure an offer that shifts closing costs to the seller, minimizing the amount of cash that the buyer needs to close. A variation of a lease purchase arrangement might be in order if a buyer has recently changed jobs or is self-employed. Owner-financing for part of the loan can make a difference in some cases. If your agent brings you a complex offer designed to get a buyer into your home, don’t say “no” until you understand the offer.

In every real estate market, there are buyers who make offers that are far below the current market value. How should you react if your agent brings you one of these low balls?
If your home is priced well, you can reject the offer and be reasonably confident that a better one will follow. In a buyers’ market, however, you may not have that luxury. Try to get an idea of the buyers overall strategy, and ask your Realtor for advice. Do they really want your house or will they move on to another property if you make a counter offer? Can they afford to pay a higher price? Are there ways to close the gap with a small owner take-back, or with terms that will increase your bottom line? It may be necessary to take a hard look at your asking price. If your price is on the high side, the offer may not be that unreasonable. We recommend that you don’t “just say no” to a low offer until you have explored all the options.
