Buying a home is an enormous life
changing event in anyone’s life. The
challenges that come into play when buying a home are many. There is a laundry list of action items that need
to be performed before making that all-important decision to buy a specific
house. From polishing your negotiating
skills and working with only professional agents, to closely analyzing your
budget and performing full home inspections, it is critical that you not feel
pressured when buying your home and allow yourself all the ample time needed to
find, fall in love with, and buy that special home.
Figure out your Budget
House prices vary drastically and
certainly you want to be certain to buy a home that works with your budget and
one you can actually afford. It is
important for you to set down and take an up close and personal look at your
budget, perhaps create a spreadsheet of all your monthly expenses in your
efforts to determine an affordable price for the house you set out to buy. In addition, it is important to calculate and
determine the amount of your monthly mortgage payment and to be certain that
the dollar amount fits into your monthly budget. There is nothing quite as challenging and
upsetting than finding out after all the paperwork is through that you really cannot
afford such an extravagant mortgage.
When computing a monthly mortgage
payment that fits within your budget be certain to allocate monies for the
taxes and homeowner’s insurance that you must also pay when obtaining your
mortgage. For this reason, our team of
qualified home specialists at From the Ground Up recommend that you work with
real estate professionals and a bank loan officer who can offer you professional
advice and direction on the mortgage payment amounts that will fit into your
budget.
Don’t Forget the Home Inspection
Every home for sale presents with its
own problems and maintenance issues. The
odds of purchasing a home that requires no maintenance or repair at all, and
has no problems or issues upfront are minimal.
Regardless of the age of a home, there is always some issue that needs
to be addressed and some negotiating that typically comes into play. There is a wide range of issues that could
raise questions and concerns when buying a home, including:
- · Old HVAC systems, ventilation systems, and heating systems that require repair or upgrade
- · Worn out floors, carpets, or cabinets that need replacing
- · Walls and rooms that need painting
- · Bathrooms that need upgrading
- · Windows that may need replacing for more energy efficiency
- · Landscaping that requires maintenance and upkeep
- · Water issues and leaks
- · Mold spores and infestation that need to be managed and eliminated
Each of the above-mentioned problems
are critical issues that need attention whether by the Seller before the actual
sale can take place or by the Buyer once the sale is completed. These types of problems can turn into major
issues over time requiring substantial repairs and high costs. Negotiating the repair of these issues is an
important part of the buy/sell process and will ultimately affect the final
sale price of the home.
Mold Spores and Infestation
When homes experience water leaks and
issues over time the development of mold spores is inevitable. Mold spores spread rapidly, causing mold
infestation throughout your home. Mold
spores, as we all know, are not visible to the human eye, which is one of the
reasons why a professional home inspection need be an important part of your
home buying process. Mold spores are
very harmful to humans. They affect the
health and well-being of those who are subjected to the spores and should not
be taken lightly.
At From the Ground Up our team of
expert inspectors are committed and dedicated to providing the most effective
home inspection, which includes everything from that old air conditioning
compressor, to those cracks in the foundation in both the basement and attic
that can cause water to seep into the home from time to time. It is these cracks in the foundation that
typically, over time, lead to the formation of mold spores. At From the Ground Up we are confident that
if the home you are anxious to buy has any mold spores present or has
experienced any type of mold infestation, our expert inspectors will surely
find them.
Our teams are equipped with only state
of the art equipment, tests, and innovative software programs that are all
mandatory to performing a superior and efficient home inspection. The inspectors at From the Ground Up have
been recognized in the industry time and time again and continue to afford all
our clients today with top of the line before and after home inspections. Recognizing the health hazards of mold
spores, our inspectors are diligent in their search and inspection to
effectively determine the presence of mold spores and advise clients on the
recommended procedures needed to resolve the problem at hand. They will perform all types of mold sampling
in the home and make appropriate recommendations to potential buyers as to the
remediation process for the mold spores and infestation.
The Dangers of Mold Spores
Mold spores are accountable for a
wide range of health issues. The
presence of mold in your home can cause allergic reactions, breathing issues, itching
eyes, sneezing, consistent coughing, asthma attacks and in many cases can even
cause permanent damage to your lungs. Sadly,
most people have no idea at all that there is mold growing in their homes and
that mold infestation is taking place.
For this reason, the experts at From the Ground Up offer our clients the
peace of mind needed when we perform our home inspection and find that there
are no mold issues present. If, however,
there is a positive finding of mold spores in a home, we will promptly notify
potential buyers and help find a professional mold remediation company to
eliminate the presence of mold and restore the home’s healthy and safe
atmosphere.
