Q: How hard is it to buy a house for the first time?

• <div><p>Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do pergolas add value to a home?

• <div><p>Not only does adding a pergola to your landscaping add value to your home, but it also provides an excellent selling point to potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living.</p></div>

Q: How do I get the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a home inspection and a home appraisal?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-home-inspector.htm">A home inspection</a> evaluates the property visually to determine whether there are any structural problems that the current homeowner must repair before selling. A home appraisal is a thorough evaluation of the property and its surrounding area to determine its current market value, which informs homeowners of the value of their home to help set the asking price. The appraisal will guide the mortgage company&rsquo;s lending decision.</p></div>

Q: What if the appraisal is lower than the offer?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re selling a home and the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-appraisal-low.htm">appraisal comes in lower than an offer</a>, you&rsquo;re effectively getting more for your home than it&rsquo;s worth. If you&rsquo;re a buyer, it means you may be overpaying. Some buyers may try to reduce their offer amount to match the appraisal, but if they signed an agreement already at the offer price and the agreement didn&rsquo;t make the sale contingent on the appraised value, there&rsquo;s often no option to negotiate. Keep in mind that a low appraisal may push your loan-to-value ratio too high, meaning a lender may not give you a mortgage.</p></div>

As the seller's agent, I requested a quote, and forwarded that to the buyer. They did contract with them, but I had no further interaction. I was very impressed with his response to the request for a quote

The move went very well. Goods were delivered and unpacked in a timely manner. Just a few broken items but it's difficult to move and have every single thing make it in perfect condition. There are a lot of bad moving companies out there. This is a good one. They may cost more but they are the...
