PROTECT YOUR CREDIT
While you're looking for a home, protect your credit. Once you have your price range, if you incur any new
credit, such as automobile payments, credit card purchases for expensive items, furniture accounts, etc.,
these credit purchases could lower your credit score and raise the interest rate you would have to pay.
PLAN ON A HOME INSPECTION FOR THE HOME YOU PLAN TO PURCHASE IN GERMANTOWN
Home inspections are very important if you plan to buy a home with an in-ground basement, older home
or home with additions. Most home inspections do not reveal significant defects. But, if you believe
you'll be more comfortable with a home inspection, Homefinders.com will prepare your purchase offer
to include a home inspection contingency.
TERMITES IN YOUR AREA?
When you buy a home in Maryland, with the exception of some foreclosures, the Contract of Sale will
protect you if the termite inspection reveals an infestation or damage from earlier infestations.
WALK-THROUGH THE HOME BEFORE SETTLEMENT
The pre-settlement walk-through inspection will be scheduled a day or two prior to settlement. Your homefinders.com agent will be there with you. If any defects are found, appliances that do not work,
damage to the property from movers, recent roof leaks, etc., the home seller will be presented a bill
for repairs at settlement.
The above is just a sample of the many steps that our buyers go through to buy a home in Germantown.
Homefinders.com will be there with you . Let's go find a home for you.
