Today I wanted to talk to about buying the wrong house. I’ve heard from quite a few people who feel they have bought the wrong house, and this is for a couple of reasons.

One of the things they don’t consider seriously when looking to purchase a home is the condition of the property. After they buy the house, they just keep putting more and more money into it and it becomes a money pit before they know it. It’s vital to get the home inspected before you decide to buy the home. If you’re unsure who to call to provide a trustworthy inspection, we can provide a few references for you.

Some buyers also fail to notice where the home is located before they buy it. Many make the mistake of buying the home before considering its proximity to schools, activities for the kids, and their places of employment.

It's vital that you get your home inspected.

If you give us a call, we can talk more in depth about these mistakes that homebuyers make and find solutions to get around or avoid making those mistakes.

Assisting Senior Citizens in Their Move

We work with lots of elderly people and when they move, they often have a lot of stuff to get rid of. It’s a tough path to navigate in the real estate world. It’s a tough sell.

Helping seniors downsize is a challenge on many levels.

We moved my folks out of their home and we moved my wife’s folks out of their home, and I’ve been with three people this past week who are helping their parents move out. Give me a call and let’s talk about helping the senior members of your family into that next phase of housing. It’s easy to go up in size, but when you have to come down on the other side to a smaller place, it’s really tough.

Give me a call if you need a hand.

My team doesn't just sell homes in Omaha, we can also help you remodel them. I'm remodeling my own home right now, and I've found that it's a tremendous way to put some value back into your property whether you're selling it or not.

It's also important to maintain your home because you don't want to have to spend $20,000 or $30,000 when you end up selling it. Deferred maintenance can really cost you in this way.

Specific repairs can add more value than others, so please don't think a massive remodel is going to double your value. Oftentimes a lot of small repairs can add a lot of value to your home.

So, if you want any names for my trusted vendors and tradesmen, please just give me a call. I can refer you to the best people in town. 

As always, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would have no problem coming into your home and giving you pointers on how you can improve your value.
