Home Buying and the Buyers Responsibility

As you begin your home search keep in mind that there are things that you, the buyer will need to be responsible for.  Sure you have a Realtor, but there are some things a Realtor can’t tell you.

Is this a high crime area?

As a Realtor, I can direct you to where to find the crime statistics for the area, but I can’t tell you whether it is a high crime area or not.

Is this a Good neighborhood?

This question can be answered 10 different ways by 10 different people.  What one person may perceive as a bad neighborhood another may perceive as a great neighborhood.  It is all in what an individual perceives it to be and in what expectations they have of a neighborhood.

Are the Schools that serve this area good Schools.

Again this is all going to be based on what the buyer perceives to be a good school system.  I can direct you to sources that rate school systems, but it is certainly a good idea to contact the school systems in question and even set up a meeting with the superintendent or principal of the school that is being considered.  A meeting and tour of the school can answer many questions for you.

This is not an all inclusive list but these are the most frequently asked questions of a Realtor.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you have a question and if I don’t have the answer I can be the source of the source to find the answer!
