Q: Is hiring a real estate agent worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they&rsquo;ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.</p></div>

Q: What types of repairs should I make before scheduling an appraisal?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s often a good idea to take care of any health and safety <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-improve-appraisal-value.htm">repairs before an appraisal</a> to make sure the mortgage can move to underwriting without having to pay for another appraisal. Replace any broken glass, fix uneven or sloping floors, ensure all steps have appropriate handrails, and have a professional get rid of mold, asbestos, and lead paint. Beyond these repairs, you can update appliances or fixtures and focus on aesthetic improvements like new paint to add the most value before scheduling an appraisal.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a mobile and a trailer home?

• <div><p>The difference between a mobile home and a trailer home is primarily between construction standards and usage. Mobile homes built after 1976 meet HUD safety regulations, offering more durability and livability. Trailer homes, an older term, often refer to smaller, lightweight units primarily designed for temporary travel or camping.</p></div>

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: What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?

• <div><p>An estimate is more informal than a quote. Estimates are based on the contractor's prior experience, and they are expected to be off by 10% to 15% of the actual project cost and timeline. Quotes are more formal and require far more detailed information outlining the scope and cost of the project, including a thorough inspection of the area where the contractor will work. This is because the quote is expected to become a binding contract while an estimate does not have this expectation. </p></div>

Not counting this one, I've bought 5 homes or condos over the years. I've never had a real estate agent do so much at his own expense to please both the buyer (me) and the seller. He corrected several "issues" that were noted on the home inspection on his own and out of his own pocket. He didn't...

Every time the wind would blow or we would get a little rain, the satellite would go out. They tell you that your price is going to be one thing and it ends up being a big balloon. They don't have good quality T.V. The technicians that come out are real good.

I liked everything about them. He does house remodeling and does real good work. The price is kind of high. He is not sure about how much he charges, but he does really good work. They are the best. They clean up their mess everyday. They are not the cheap guys in town.
