Today, we want to talk about the phase of a real estate transaction called the buyer's due diligence period. This can be a difficult concept to understand; the Residential Purchase Contract for the state of Arizona has over 416 points, 86 of which are focused on the buyer's due diligence! Let's see if we can simplify this a bit.

The average time frame for a home inspection is 10 calendar days. During this time, you have the opportunity to inspect anything that is a material fact to you. These items may include, but are not limited to: heating, plumbing, cooling, mechanical, and electrical items. Home inspections can be up to 100 pages long, as the inspector goes through the home and itemizes any defect of importance they found that may affect your decision-making process. 

Once you make it through the home inspection process, you are going to use the report to make an informed decision on whether you want to move forward with your purchase contract.

If you would like additional information on this process, or have any questions about real estate in general, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you and assist you in any way possible! Thanks, and have a wonderful day!

5 Reasons to List Now

Hey there, thanks for tuning back in. With the holidays around the corner, many of you are thinking about gifts, entertaining, and if now is a good time to list your property for sale. 

We can definitely answer that last question with an emphatic yes! Right now, there is a great window of opportunity to take advantage of the real estate market. Many agents will tel their clients not to bother with listing their homes at the end of the year, and this creates the best circumstances for you for 5 different reasons:

1. Serious Buyers
Buyers out looking for homes during the holiday season are very serious. They have only one goal in mind: finding and purchasing a good home. 

2. Less Competition
Many sellers decide to un-list their homes during the holidays and wait until the first of the year to put it back on. This creates less competition for you.

3. More Time
Buyers have more time to look at home during the holidays. A lot of people have PTO built up, and are able to take weeks at a time to narrow in their search.

4. Taxes
Some people have to buy at the end of the year for tax purposes.

5. New Hires
People who are transferred by companies at the beginning of the year won't have the luxury of waiting until April to look for a property, so you really need to capture this market. 

Thanks for watching, we will be working through the winter so if you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to give us a call or send us an email.
