Renting a home

Renting a home obviously is the easiest of these three transactions. In order to rent a home, usually the client needs to sign a lease. The lease is the contract between the leasee and the landlord. Typically, the lease outlines the requirements that the leasee needs to meet each month. It also outlines the the rent and the other costs associated with the renting of the home/apt.
It will also tell you about pets and the need for insurance if required. One thing to remember, as a renter, you are responsible to maintain the property in its current condition. If you damage the property, the landlord has the right to subtract the costs of repairs from your security deposit, which is typically one to two months of rent collected up front. Selling a home can be a little tricky. Some people try to sell their home on their own, without the help of a real estate agent. Obviously, if you don’t use an agent, you will probably save about 6% which is the typical fee the real estate agent will charge. However, most people believe that the 6% is well worth it.


The agent will list the property on the internet, but also put it on a Multi-listing service that most Agents subscribe to. This can give your home the exposure that it needs in order to be sold. One final thought on selling a home, its important to make all the minor repairs to the home that need to be made. People want a home in move-in condition, they won’t want somebody else’s problems. Buying a home can be very challenging. The first step should be selecting a lender to help you decide how much you can spend on your home. In my opinion, you should have at least 10% down on a home that you are looking to buy. For example, if the home cost is $100,000, you should have $10,000.00 to put down. Don’t forget, closing costs on a home like that could run you about $3,500.00.
The more money you can put down, the better it will be for you, more of a down payment means a smaller monthly payment and typically, less over all interest paid to the bank. After that, you can try meeting with a real estate agent, they should have a variety of properties for you to choose from. The multi-listing service (MLS) is a very good way to search for properties. Remember, the real estate agent usually does not charge the buyer because they are paid by the seller of the property. Other people try to find homes on their own, that seems to be a bit more complicated, especially if you’ve never purchased a home before. In my opinion, a real estate agent is the way to go.
