Buying a Home

USE A REALTOR (R)

As a buyer, it usually costs nothing to hire a real estate professional to help you find and purchase a home--your Realtor will likely get a portion of the commission the seller pays to his Realtor. When choosing an agent, get referrals from friends, relatives, and co-workers, and then interview as many agents as possible. Pick an agent that works in the neighborhoods you're interested in. Listen to your agent, but make your own decision.

 

CHOOSING THE RIGHT HOME

Your New Home's Features


There is an endless variety in home features in Las Vegas, Nevada. You probably have decided about a few of the features you need, such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. A good way to be prepared to decide whether a home's features fit your needs is to create a prioritized list. Would you really like a pool, but it's more important to have a two-car garage? When you know what features are most critical to your life in a new home you'll be prepared to be flexible in your search.

Location in Las Vegas Where You Want to Reside


The price of a Las Vegas homes for sale is determined by its location. Moreover, the location of the property also decides the level of satisfaction regarding a particular home. To ensure maximum satisfaction, you need to search for Las Vegas homes for sale in the regions where you want to reside. On the other hand, it is also possible that you may not find the perfect house that satisfies your fixed priorities. Hence, you should establish what you are willing to sacrifice (i.e. the perfect home or the perfect neighborhood).

SELLING YOUR HOME

Hire a REALTOR
Studies show that home sellers who use a REALTOR to represent them generally get a better price than those who sell the home themselves. REALTORS are up-to-date on critical processes and can help keep you out of trouble. They can also help you get your home sold at the best price in the right timeframe.
Equally as important, REALTORS add objectivity to an inherently emotional transaction: the sale of your home.


Before Your Home Is Listed
It's important to have your home in good showing condition before buyers start going through it. Here are some steps to take:
Touch up interior and exterior paint as needed.
Install new carpeting and flooring if it appears worn or dated.
Make sure the front is clean and spruced up – curb appeal will create a favorable first impression.
Trim bushes and plants as needed, and make sure the lawn is kept mowed and trimmed. In autumn, rake the leaves.

Keep the interior clean, decluttered and odor-free. Eliminate evidence of pets.
Minimize personal items such as family photos. You want buyers to see themselves living in the home.
Consider putting excess furniture and belongings in storage. Now's the time to clean out the garage and basement and sell, give away or throw away items you don't need anymore.
Consider having a pre-listing inspection performed. Buyers will be hiring professional inspectors; here's your chance to address problems in advance.

AVOIDING FORECLURES

Are you behind in your mortgage payments, or concerned that you soon might be?

Have you received a preforeclosure letter from your lender?

First of all, don't be ashamed. Millions of homeowners are in your situation – many times through no fault of their own. A job loss, a serious illness or other circumstances can put you in danger of foreclosure.

The economic downturn has led to many homeowners being "under water" in their loans, meaning they owe more than the home is worth, making it impossible to refinance.

If you've become one of those millions, don't panic. Foreclosure, and its accompanying effect on your credit, is not inevitable. There are many options out there, and your circumstances may make one of those options feasible and desirable for you.

To keep your options alive, you need to communicate with your lender. Many homeowners have lost their homes to foreclosure without ever having contacted the bank.

This would also be a good time to consult with a tax advisor and your agent.
Many lenders would rather not foreclose. They take a large financial hit on a foreclosure. So in many cases, they'll consider alternatives. Some of these options may keep you in your home.
Loan Modification

While only certain homeowners will be able to take advantage of this alternative, it is your best option because it keeps you in your home and preserves your credit rating.

Your lender may be willing to modify the terms of the loan.
