What You Know About Your Home
Getting ready to sell your home? The process can be overwhelming so it's my goal as a Realtor to make each step as simple as possible. One of the necessary steps in listing your home involves disclosing information about your home's major utilities and mechanical components. Here are some tips to make the Sellers Disclosure forms a little easier. For more information or to schedule a time to review things, click here to fill out an appointment request form.
Sellers Disclosure 101
In Pennsylvania, it is required by law for residential home Sellers to complete a Sellers Property Disclosure. This 10 page document takes you through your house and major mechanicals. On the form you answer the questions about what you know about each item. This list can be overwhelming as it is very detailed.
A helpful tip is to reference work receipts that you have from repairs and maintenance that was done in the past. You are required to answer these questions to the best of your knowledge and records so the more details you have access to, the better.

Before an offer is submitted to a Seller, a Buyer will have the opportunity to review this Sellers Disclosure. When an offer is submitted, the Buyers will review and sign the Sellers Property Disclosure. This shows that they are acknowledging the history of the house that you have provided.

Addressing your concerns and breaking down the steps required to reach your real estate goals is the first part of the process when it comes to tackling the "mountain of overwhelm."
When clients come to me to begin their real estate journey, they may or may not be friends already, but we spend a lot of time together and my clients are more than a transaction.
The housing market is all the talk these days both locally and nationally. In Lancaster supply is a primary issue. The number of listings is low and, particularly at the lower end of the market, new listings sell quickly...
Its sounds a little funny to make a New Years plan for your house. But our homes do take effort and energy to continue to serve us well every day. We might as well have a plan for them to operate smoothly and beautifully...
'Tis the season to be SELLING your house. Serious buyers are always looking no matter the season or time of year. Your buyers just might be looking now.
Each transaction has it's own unique reality. Certainly it doesn't make one deal better or worse it's just the reality of that transaction and house. Maybe the garage door has a quirk when it opens and the living room paint looks pink in certain light. Life happens all around us. It's never picture perfect for long but that is the beauty of life. Enjoy your real life Christmas and holiday season!
