Real T Team's experience will be invaluable in making sure that everything is completed on time and in a professional and legal manner. Once your offer has been accepted, your REALTOR can help you coordinate the different vendors you will need to communicate with. Below are a few examples:

Inspection
A property inspection, a foundation inspection, and an environmental inspection may need to be completed to ensure that the property is up to the standards set forth in your written agreement. Any problems at this point will hinder the contract process so having these procedures completed in a professional and timely manner is imperative. A licensed professional should be hired to conduct a thorough inspection of the home as well as inspection for termites. A buyer has a right to be present during the inspection and many inspectors encourage you to do so. The primary purpose of the inspection is to educate the buyer in order to make an informed buying decision. Many of the more severe and expensive problems such as mechanical, electrical, structural and plumbing are not noticeable to the untrained eye. Certain issues uncovered during the inspection can delay or nullify the contract. The inspection report should be reviewed carefully and timely in order for you to understand your options.

Repairs
All repairs should be completed by professionals with the proper experience to the related problem. Make sure you receive a signed receipt detailing the repair work.

Insurance
Homeowner insurance is critical at this point and the closing cannot proceed without it. Insurance experts recommend that you obtain insurance equal to the full replacement value of the home. Also remember to only insure you home and not the land. Your insurance agent will be able to walk you through the options such as deductible levels and help you decide what best suits your unique circumstance.

Home Warranty
Home warranties are no longer just for new homes. Warranties can save you time and money down the road. They are cost justified and can ensure you get exactly what you paid for.
