My tip - if the inspection reveals problems, adjust your offer to compensate for YOUR contractor to make the repairs. Don't agree to allow the seller to fix things. They will do the minimum as cheaply as possible. You will likely end up fixing their fix.
Thanks for sharing your experience with others here on this channel. Truly appreciate you watching and commenting. It’s always better to do your research before making any purchases.
My property had 11" of asphalt paving encroaching from the adjacent lot. The owner got ready to sell it, and had the parking/driveway repaved. When the crew showed up to do the work, I met them and asked if they could kindly stop 11" short of where the old pavement was, and today there's no encroachment. If you're patient you can sometimes fix these problems with just a few minutes of conversation. Sometimes.
It’s amazing how a simple conversation can lead to such a positive outcome! Communication really is key in resolving property issues. Thanks for sharing your story here on this channel for other to see and thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Hope your having a great day!
Advice is like pizza - it’s best when shared! 🍕 Glad you enjoyed it! I truly appreciate your support and glad you are enjoying these helpful videos. See you in the next one!
My parents built a home in the late 80's and I was playing pool in the living room and it started raining pretty heavy and rain started to come in the front of the fireplace so my Dad got on the roof and tarped it the house had many problems! A few years ago we sold my Grandparents home built in 1962 they were the second owners in 1964 and they always took care of their home when little things would arise so yes few owners and pride of owner ship means a lot. These lipstick flips scare me as someone looking to buy.
You always have very useful information, Jerry. There’s always something new to learn even for someone like me who’s owned a few houses throughout the years. I like the way you present your content: you go right to the point without wasting time talking about irrelevant things. 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

Absolutely! Having a GOOD and reliable buyer's agent and a thorough inspector can make all the difference in the home-buying process. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! And thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment here on this channel!
How does it work now? The buyer pays for the buyer’s agent during closing? What if the seller provides for buyer’s agent fees when they list the property?
@@goldenparachute392 that’s the way it’s been happening around here. Sellers still wanna sell their homes and many are willing to pay the buyers agent compensation. But every situation is different if you need help finding the local real estate expert where you live just give my office a call and I can hook you guys up.
@@goldenparachute392 As I understand it-All of the above. It will work any way you want it to work. Confusing as all get out, but that's how it is now.
Do not rely on your agent connecting with a good inspector. Find your own independently. Remember that all agents are just trying to get the sale to go thru and the buyer is their least concern. Inspectors are often untrustworthy.
Do not buy where there is a home owner association, if possible. If buying on a private road, be careful. Have a lawyer review all recorded documents, title, easements, etc. if you have no experience. But do not expect a seller will tell you about neighbor issues. Instead, see if you can contact others in the neighborhood. They might have something to say, but keep it confidential and not share it with the sellers or your agent. For sure, take a good look at the neighborhood at minimum.

@@PatamaGomutbutra everyone needs a home and a place to live. Usually that’s what’s driving in the marketplace. Thanks for taking the time to watch and to comment here on this channel. Truly appreciate you doing so.
True. I think that is why it is so hard for normal buyers to find a house. Speculators with cash in their deep pockets are out bidding and buying properties as-is. Seller are taking the path of least resistance. 10 years ago, homes in our neighborhood topped out at $500K. Today they are at $I Million and rising.
Hey Jerry, love your channel. Im hoping you can help me figure out what I need to do. I did a lot of plumbing and electrical work in my then new house that I probably should have pulled a permit for. Now it's 28 years later. If and when I sell, how will this affect my value and what do I need to disclose?
Thanks for reaching out! It's important to disclose any unpermitted work when selling your home. It might affect your home's value, so consulting the local real estate expert could help you navigate this situation more smoothly. It's not all bad. Just depends on what type of work and the extent of that work. Hope this helps. If you need help finding the local expert in your area, feel free to give our office a call 843-839-9870 let them know what town you live in and we will connect you with the expert. Hope you having a fantastic day! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Unless your inspector overlooks important faults.
@@margaretames6522 It is important to hire an inspector that will do a thorough job.
Never buy a flip.

Unless they sell it to you at a loss lol
@@jer1776 that’s a good point
If they floor is covered with LVP, run.
Tell the agent not to use air freshener. It may conceal a serious aroma, such as a destroyed carpet from an indoor dog that peed everywhere.

Why?
It sounds like you've had some interesting experiences with your neighbors! Communication can really make a difference, though.

Houses are being manipulated as speculative assets - this will not end well.

Why is the image of the person on the Promo not the same as the person who shows up when you open???????????

@@JerryPinkas Thank you very much for your helpful response. That tells me what I need to know.
Quick ownership changes? Like septic system problems?
I would not care to answer questions about neighbors because that could be subjective and I can only verify my own placce, not the neneighbors
That is a good point! Thanks for watching and commenting here
Thank you Jerry.
