5 Tips to Make Sure You Close the Deal on Your Lake of the Ozarks Home

Finding a buyer for your home is obviously an important step to selling your Lake of the Ozarks Home - but during the weeks to come, it is critical that you do everything you can to make sure the deal closes!!  

 Here are a few tips that will help keep your closing date on schedule and your contract in tact.
  1. Do Not Ignore Contingencies - Some contracts will require that you do something before the sale is complete.  If your contract designates specific repairs or improvements, be sure to do the job and do it well.  The buyer will notice and it can delay your closing date or stand in the way of finalizing your contract.
  2. If it's broken, Fix it!!  The buyer will have the opportunity for a pre-closing walk through - this should be a very exciting and happy time for the buyer.  However, if the buyer notices that things are "falling apart," it leaves a bad impression with the buyer and could prompt the buyers to back out of the sale.
  3. Take Deadlines Seriously - Deadlines are not to be taken lightly - if you have been given a deadline, make sure you treat it with respect.  If you have a deadline to accept or reject a home inspection, make sure your decision is finalized with the time frame.  Make sure you move out a few days early so you are able to turn the key over at the closing.
  4. Negotiation is KEY - Keep in mind that the price you have agreed upon initially may not disclose your final profit on your home.  For instance, any problems uncovered during the inspection will have to be fixed at your expense.  Or the appraisal may come in at a price below the agreed purchase price - be ready to negotiate with the buyer.  
  5. Disclose Liens on Property -  There is no reason to try to hide liens on the property - A title search is going to show any liens that have been filed on the property.  Lack of disclosure will only compromise the confidence of your buyer and possibly cause them to back out of the deal.

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and
