Brian was great! He sent us homes as soon as they were listed which helped us find our home faster. We only saw three houses before putting in our (first) offer and actually buying the home! Brian is definitely your guy for real estate in Atlanta.

My husband and I were first time home buyers at the absolute worst time, but we could not have picked a better agent! Brian was there with us every step of the way. He had countless recommendations when we didn't know where to start; he was honest about the potential problems he saw in each home; he was patient and help explain our next steps. It took us forever to find a home we loved, and even longer to go under contract. He helped us find what we were looking for, and make our offers competitive enough to win. We got frustrated with the market, but Brian never did. He helped us manage our expectations while not compromising on the things he knew were most important to us. He is an excellent realtor, and I'm certain we wouldn't be in our dream home without him!

Brian DiMaggio helped my husband and I out tremendously and was there when we needed him for any questions we had. He was just a phone call and text away from getting us the advice and answers we needed. We felt like he was there for us all the way through our process with finding and buying a home.
Answered Questions
This is going to vary on the home, but usually it will be located just inside the home opposite of the spigot. Sometimes there is an access panel if it is in finished space. Hope this helps!
Not at all as long as there is nothing signed!
Yes, but typically you may be different levels of service for varying commission rates. An agent should work for their commission so find out what they are doing for you.
In my state (Georgia) closing costs are negotiable, so it depends on other aspects of the offer. I.e How competitive you want to be, purchase price, terms etc. Commission is typically paid by the Seller.
Explain that you are unhappy and would like to go a different route.
Typically, yes.
I think this depends on the location, but I find that the one story is the better of the two.
Everyone has a different tolerance level and budget so this depends. I typically advise my clients to avoid situations with foundation issues, major termite damage, issues with neighboring properties, bad locations, mold or water damage.
Typically just to get it listed may not cost very much if any. I would say it is more elbow grease in getting the property de-cluttered and cleaned. The agent should cover all photos and marketing expenses. Upon closing, there is typically a 6% commission (here in Georgia) prorated taxes, and any closing costs that were negotiated (lender fees, attorney/title fees etc)
Personally I hold all my real estate, its my retirement plan! Overtime, real estate trends upward. So regardless of the dips your investment is good. Two years the market can dip and you could lose money, but if there is a large increase and you are looking to pocket cash then sure why not!
I think you will get better service from agents if your provide proof of funds. You can then have them do virtual tours and you could visit during the due diligence period. It is always best to see them in person or have a trusted partner on the ground though.
Here in Georgia it is typically 6% total paid by the Seller to be split in half with the buyers agent.
I always advise my clients comb though google streetview, visit the neighborhood at night, and do local shopping in the area.
Hey Matthew, I live in the area and have worked in the business for 8 years. Would love to help. 404-788-7946
You will definitely want to speak with a lender. Typically they are looking for no more than a 50% monthly debt to income ratio, often called DTI.
Absolutely. Some agents specialize in lake property.
Contact some local realtors. Ask friends for a good realtor!
I always recommend asking friends for trusted realtors.
You will definitely want to reach out to a local agent
May be different in your state. Here in Georgia we would find comparable sold listings form the past 6 months, no more than 5 miles away from the subject property, and resubmit them to the appraiser. There are no guarantees unfortunately.
Here in Georgia closing costs are negotiable and the down payment is not included. That is a separate buyer expense.
Hey Blaze, from my understanding it means an attached home, also know as carriage homes, garden homes, cluster homes, and courtyard homes.
I would recommend reaching out to a local agent to give you that value. One thing you could do on your own is look online for recent sales in the area that match the style, size, age, and square footage of your home. best of luck!
Some states require attorneys, other require title companies. Best to contact a local realtor and find out what yours requires.
Each home sale situation is unique. Definitely contact a local agent to see what challenges you may encounter
The best way is to contact a local agent and ask for a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) you may be able to get an idea by going online and looking at recent sales near your home that are similar in size, age, style, and square footage.
Instead of charging commission as a percentage of the home sale price, they charge a flat fee.
You could offer that as an option for buyers.
Not necessarily the value, but the sale price yes.
I would say it is not a dollar for dollar return, and it depends on the condition of the pool.
Generally, if the home or basement is below street level it will need a sump pump.
Depends on what your goals are! I would pay more attention to the economy and growth surrounding the area.
In Georgia, it is typically 24 hours. Although, in some situations more or less time is allowed.
There are a lot of variables that go into answering that questions. I would definitely recommend finding a good CPA
I would find an agent that will do what it takes to negotiate and get you the most for your property. Typically, the more you make the more they do, so that is incentive for them to get the most they can on your behalf. If they accept less commission, they may be less motivated.
If you see a lot of new construction in the area that can be a great sign that growth is coming. Redoing the streets, adding sidewalks, etc are all good signs as well.
Depends on you and your situation/goals. Typically the market is the most active in Spring going into the Summer.
Competitively with the recent sales comps in your area. A local agent should be able to guide you on this. I am in the area and Commerce is growing so it should garner a lot of attention.
It all comes down to price. If a home is priced correctly it will sell. Even if it has major major issues. If the price reflects that then it should sell, given it may take a little longer than usual.
Kitchens and bathrooms definitely have the most impact on value when doing renovations. Get some quotes. There are also companies like curbio that will renovate for you and then take the payment off the top of the sales price.
A local realtor would be able to handle most of the sales process for you.
There are some loan programs that will help with this, so be sure to ask your lender. Hard-money may be an option, albeit an expensive one.
