Buying Highlands NC Real Estate, Prepare For New Home
Meadows Mountain Realty, Highlands NC real estate
Prepare for a new home when buying Highlands NC real estate. There is a lot to know about a new home. From actually moving to the set-up of mail delivery, internet service, and cable TV there are myriad details to work out. Additionally, you need to get to know your new home, including its systems and maintenance history. The more prepared you are the easier moving can be. An experienced Highlands NC REALTOR can ensure that you have a checklist in place and all of the information you need.
Learn as much as you can about a new home
A buyer will learn a lot about a Highlands NC home for sale once it is under contract. During the due diligence period, there will be a home inspection that will reveal a home’s condition. HOA documents and condo documents should be read during this time as well. Additionally, title work will be completed which will reveal any encumbrances on a property, like liens and easements for starters. However, there is always more to know. Ask your REALTOR to check and see whether maintenance records, warranties, and receipts are available for appliances, systems, and renovations.
Get to know the home
Moving will involve getting to know your new home. Learn where the fuse box is. But it can also be helpful to know what electrician has been used in the past as well. Someone familiar with the home, whether a plumber, landscaper, electrician, or handyman, can be helpful. Ask your REALTOR to get a list of numbers from the seller that will be useful. Another important thing is to get the locks re-keyed. You have no way of knowing how many people may have access to your home prior to its purchase.
