When you’re buying or selling your home, you have to make many decisions. If you’re the seller, you have to decide what improvements that you should make to get maximum value, whether you want to hire a realtor or sell the property yourself, and a listing price that will get offers. And if you’re the buyer, you have to decide what you can afford, and whether or not the property that you choose is a place where you will be comfortable. And both the buyer and seller need to decide what title company should provide their title insurance which is always an important investment.
Buying and selling real estate is one of the trickiest transactions for most consumers, because it involves more details than most other financial transactions, and the process only happens a few times in most people’s lives. There are exceptions, such as people that are in the military or that have jobs that require them to relocate frequently, but in most cases, it’s a life changing event.
No matter how many years that you’ve spent in your home, when it comes time to sell it, the process can be overwhelming. It was the place where you created a lot of memories with your family and friends, and when you’re making a change to a new home, it can be a little bittersweet.
