"We absolutely love our new Ryan home, which is ready to move into. Jon, the construction manager was true to his word, and had the Home completed by the end of May. However., DO NOT GO WITH NVR MORTGAGE! We were supposed to close June 7, and Martha from NVR knew we wanted an early June close, I was retiring July 1st, and our mortgage was based on my pension MONTHS AGO. Now, a few weeks before closing after we scheduled a TON of services including movers, truck, friends taking off to help, babysitters for kids, and have a buffer of 3 weeks before we have to move out of a rental end of June; Martha tells me they require a certain letter from the pension that I will not receive until mid-july. Because of this they initially said we couldn't close until July. Then it is June 20th. If she provided us with this information months ago, we could have planned differently. Now we are scrambling to figure out what to do. So, I repeat, DO NO GO WITH NVR MORTGAGE. I'm not the only one either. I just spoke to our new neighbors who broke off with NVR and Martha after 6 months before closing because of similar issues. DO NOT GO WITH NVR MORTGAGE!!!! it should be NO STARS FOR NVR MORTGAGE."

Real estate transactions are complex events. Because of that, people looking to buy a home or investment property usually request the help of a real estate agent to help them through the process. It will be up to the real estate agent to use their knowledge of the real estate market to assist potential buyers in securing the property that they desire. A prospective buyer may come to a real estate agent with specific requirements for a house. This could include size and a budget. The real estate agent will then find the best area and properties on the market that meet the buyer's requirements. Together, the real estate agent and potential buyer will visit the properties until the right one is located. People looking to sell their homes will also seek out a real estate agent. They can help to market the property by listing it in a general real estate directory of homes for sale. A real estate agent can also assist by drawing up a contract and negotiating the terms of a sale with a potential buyer. A real estate agent will also make sure that all things related to the sale of a home are handled appropriately. This can include a title search to make sure there are no issues regarding the ownership of the property. If termite or mold inspections were required, then the real estate agent will verify that they were completed.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Yes, a well-built fence can increase your home value as it improves your property’s curb appeal and also provides enhanced security. Online studies show that fences have a 50% recovery rate, meaning investing $10,000 in a new fence can potentially increase your property value by $5,000 in the end. The number may fluctuate depending on the quality, material, and design of your fence.

If you are trying to sell a home with asbestos siding, most jurisdictions force you to disclose this in official documentation about the home. Some potential buyers may not want to purchase a home with asbestos siding, which could negatively affect their health if the siding becomes disturbed. However, as long as the siding is in good condition, some buyers may not see it as a disadvantage. You could take on the cost to replace asbestos siding if you have concerns over this material affecting your home’s resale value.

Yes, mixing siding types will affect your home value, and in most cases, it will improve curb appeal and add to the value of your home. This is especially true if you get the benefit of the high-end appearance of brick or stone siding but save on siding costs by covering most of the exterior with more affordable vinyl or fiber cement.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

A shed that connects to water or electrical services is likely to be assessed for property taxes; however, tax assessments vary around the country. Since every state and local municipality differ regarding property taxes, you should contact your city to determine whether or not you’re required to pay property taxes. Some states consider sheds or detached garages taxable if they have water, sewer, and electricity installed.
