Roof Woes

If you read your home inspection report carefully, you might spot a disclaimer about the status of the roof and a recommendation for an additional inspection (which should be completed by a certified roof inspector). Inspectors who are licensed with the NRCIA may also issue a roof certification guaranteeing the life and quality of the roof. While this service may cost a few hundred dollars, requesting that the seller address any issues with the roof before closing could make it well worth the cost.

HVAC Problems

While an inspector should confirm the unit is functional at the time of inspection, they will make no guarantee that it will keep working once you purchase the home. An HVAC specialist, however, will not only give a status of the unit but also will certify the findings of their inspection. If the HVAC unit of the home you're considering is old or the sellers can't tell you when it was last serviced, an inspection or presale tuneup could pay off (and give you peace of mind).

Water damage

External water damage is pretty easy to spot with a visual inspection; it's the damage hidden within a home's walls that can be difficult to detect. Unless your inspector is using an infrared (IR) camera to locate and document any moisture intrusion, you may not know your dream home is waterlogged. For a more thorough inspection, seek out a home inspector who knows how to wield an Infrared (IR) camera. If they spot hidden problems, they can potentially save you thousands.

Flooring Trouble

Inspectors check for obvious signs of wear and tear and any potential issues in plain sight.But what about flooring problems that are covered up with carpet, tile, or laminate? If floors and subfloors are warped or spongy, the home may have a moisture problem and a costly one at that.Use your feet to detect an issue; soft spots where the wood is weak will give way as you walk across the floor. But you can also use your sense of smell: A weak subfloor will have a moldy, musty smell a clear indication of wood rot. If you spot the signs of a potential problem or just want to be sure you can find local experts through the National Institute of Certified Floor covering Inspectors.

Appliance performance

While a home inspector can verify that appliances are in good working order, they won't be able to guarantee how long they will last. Understand the health of your big-ticket appliances by asking the owner for warranty manuals, original purchase receipts, and maintenance records.

Disturbed Asbestos

Sellers are required to disclose any known presence of asbestos. However, the presence of asbestos-based building materials in a home isn't necessarily a reason to call off your purchase: Asbestos is not dangerous unless the material is damaged and fibers are released and inhaled.

Arrange your financing.

If you wait until after you've found a home to start the mortgage pre-approval process, you might lose the home in this market to someone who already has their financing ducks in a row.

Act fast.

To be successful and not make a rash decision, be as prepared as possible before you start looking by knowing the type of home and neighborhood you desire.

Put down a decent amount of earnest money.

The more earnest money you contribute, the more serious you look to the seller.

Be prepared for bidding wars.

In hot markets, buyers should be prepared for bidding wars. Fortunately, bidding wars aren't always just about money. A shorter closing, willingness to rent the house back to the seller, a super-quick inspection period, and offer letters can help make a lower offer the best offer.

House hunting is fraught with frustration and challenges. Keep these quotes in mind to keep you sane. Shady brokers, bad plumbing, wildly competitive open houses, misleading listings, sky-high prices, and ever-escalating offers: there is a terrible lot to contend with when finding a new place to live. But there's also no other process that deserves your time and attention like discovering a new place to call your own. Here are seven quotes that will help keep you sane during the emotional marathon that is the home search.

"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet." Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"The root of suffering is attachment." The Buddha

"We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." Winston Churchill . "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." Mark Twain

Very simple, curb appeal, cosmetic changes such as painting the front door, changing worn carpeting in front hall and on stairs, often adds more value than cost. Next is the foyer, often overlooked but aside from the Front(Curb Appeal), it's the first and last place a buyer looks when inside the house. Make sure everything from this vantage point is appealing. Kitchen and bathroom remodels generally add to a home's value but contrary to what a lot of people believe, you generally won't get back the amount you put into the remodel, so you should do it for your living enjoyment, rather than for trying to make a profit. At least that way, you'll have the benefit of the pleasure a new kitchen or bathroom offers. Focus on simple items such as fresh neutral paint, updated lighting and electrical switch plates and dimmers.

If you want to sell your home quickly, you'll need to be proactive about facing its faults. Overpricing a home is the number one way sellers sabotage their ability to get the most money for their property. So let's discuss how you can take proactive steps before you list. After all, you want to be in the position to command the highest selling price in your neighborhood.

Reality check 1:

Your kitchen and master bedroom need an upgrade

These rooms can make or break a home, so spending cash makes dollars and sense. The key to upgrading is to keep the finishes in line with other homes in the neighborhood. Simple upgrades like faucets, lighting, cabinet pulls, don't cost a lot and may be enough to give the house a fresh look.

Reality check 2:

Your home is cluttered and it's scaring off buyers

A clean and clutter-free house shows buyers that you take care of your home. If confronted by messy, overstuffed closets, they will start to wonder if you've paid attention to other home maintenance.

Reality check 3:

You need to keep up with the Joneses

Pay attention to the trends in your neighborhood. If most homes have a "bonus space" that your home is lacking, consider finishing a portion of your basement.

Reality check 4:

Your home has problem areas

Replacing worn and outdated flooring can take a home from zero to hero very quickly. The same is true for wallpaper: old and tired wallpaper delivers a negative visual punch and it's a pain to remove. The more tidy and well kept the property, the more justified you can feel in the asking price.

So when looking to sell or buy the Best in Taos or Angel Fire Real Estate check with the ladies at New Mexico Mountain Properties. Are you looking for the perfect home in Angel Fire or Taos,maybe a condo in Taos, close to the plaza or a home or condo close to the slopes in Angel Fire we are the ladies to call on.
