This is part 2 of 2 of Buyer Commandment 2.

From helping you avoid questionable design choices to helping you save big money on your new home, your Buyer's Agent is a key component of your new home build, and his/her services are completely free to you!  What a great deal!

It's common knowledge that if you're going to buy an existing home, you are more than likely going to need an agent.  What isn't as common knowledge is that agents are absolutely essential when buying a new home from a home builder too!

Think about it - everything the builder does and says is intended for a single purpose: to get the most money out of you as possible.  When you deal directly with the builder, and worse yet, you use the builder's inspector, lender, title company, etc, there is literally nobody in the transaction who is looking out for your best interests. 

Enter your real estate agent.  A properly trained and experienced agent will be your advocate throughout the entire process, and will provide you with the information the builder doesn't want you to know.  For instance, how much the house is actually worth based on comparable properties in the area.  Buying a house that isn't even built yet?  Your agent can provide even more value!  Best of all, the services of your agent are paid for by the builder - AT NO COST TO YOU! 

Listen to the episode to learn all the details.

In the interest of limiting the length of our episodes, this is Part 1 of 2 for this Commandment.

Does little Johnny really need his name painted on his wall? Do you think black mold is attractive? Want to know how to safely prepare your home to sell for top dollar?

Join us as we delve into seller responsibilities about cleaning your house, beefing up curb appeal, taking care of necessary fixes and working hard to get your home sold. This episode is a follow-on to episode 10 where we covered what your agent will take care of to get your home sold (spoiler alert - it's ALOT more than  you think).

Often maligned, usually misunderstood, rarely fully appreciated. There is a lot that your Homeowner Association does for you. In this episode we discuss the positives and negatives of HOAs with Pam Bailey, President and CEO of Chaparral Management group.

"Nosy neighbors.  Busybodies with nothing else going on in their lives so they get into everyone else's business in the neighborhood.  What does a Homeowner Association do for me other than tell me what color I can paint my house?"

This is a common question that real estate agents hear.  Instead of trying to answer this question ourselves, we enlisted the help of the foremost authority we could find on HOAs, Pam Bailey.  Pam is the CEO of Chaparral Management company, which since 1985 has helped HOAs operate on a day to day basis.  She is also heavily involved in the lawmaking process with the Texas state legislature.  Each year when the legislature is in session, Pam is in Austin advocating on behalf of HOAs across the state to ensure that new laws don't adversely impact the HOAs or the communities they serve.

Pam was very generous with her time, covering the specifics about how HOAs operate, and how they improve the value of the communities they serve.
