This is not your father’s real estate market!
The new year has brought another round of new laws, rules, regulations, procedural changes, etc. Cumulatively in the last twelve months or so the volume of these changes has been monumental. What with new mortgage loan underwriting requirements, appraisal rules, truth-in-lending regulations, agency laws, closing procedures, fair housing laws, tax code changes and so much more, it’s enough to blow your mind! Add to that the expanding role of short sales and bank-owned properties in the market, with the varied nuances of buying or selling these, and it’s easy to see how a homebuyer or seller can feel overwhelmed. And let’s not even get into the challenges of valuation in a market that’s still trying to find its legs.
Face it, today’s market is far more complex and fraught with risk that anything our parents had to deal with. Now more than ever, it is crucial to seek out the advice and counsel of experts. This is not an era where it makes sense to go it alone. Your REALTOR® can guide you through the minefield of today’s real estate market, assist with financing needs, recommend competent local real estate attorneys, home inspectors and other service providers critical to a disaster-free transaction.
