NT Broker advises how not to hide when buying a house

Arthur, an expert in NT's real estate agency Real Estate (NT), Capital Team, is advised in a press release on the purchase of affordable housing.

Do not link to search for accommodation only on advertising portals. First, information on home sales can be found in the NT agencies databases. As a result, brokers can find the right home for you even before it is launched on the advertising portals. Even without even launching, they sell about a quarter of their homes. You can boldly claim such an "out of the box" for your NT broker.

2. In discussing, refer to the facts. "Advertising portals often reflect sellers' expectations, which are typically 15% higher than the real price of the housing market.In the course of negotiations, the broker NT is ready – has a market badysis, verified that the Announcement contains the good year of construction, the area of ​​housing and other data.Therefore, it can reasonably be reduced to a realistic price, "says Fridman.The purpose of the brokers is to "Hear with the seller about the price most likely to be determined by the home appraiser."

3. Think twice before placing a security deposit. An unintentional agreement on an advance, you can lose both money and a decent house.In the first case, according to Mr. Fridman, buyers are so upset by the sale of the. article that they are leaving the depot badly without realizing that 39, they actually buy.

Since most of the house buys with the help of a bank, it can not afford them a loan for the total amount required. Lack of money for the first installment, buyers can not buy housing and stay ahead of time. In the second case, buyers agree on a low deposit, for example, a few hundred euros. There are unscrupulous salesmen who decide to return a deposit if they have more paid buyers. If security is low, it is even better for them to pay twice, so that they can only close a deal with other buyers.

A. Fridman is advised to perform at least a thousand euros of cash at home inspections. If the housing is really fit, you can register it with no higher risk. Why do you need a net? Because not all providers use the banking gadgets on mobile devices and can quickly check if they have received money.

4. Check the documents. Mr. Fridman advises that you always make sure that the property is shown to you by the owner or his authorized representative. Prior to inspections, the Registry Center Broker also verifies who is the owner of the property and has no restrictions on the property. The purchase of a home can last several months if it turns out that documents that are not processed are inherited, after the divorce or living in the property you live under the age of majority. You may need to understand some of the little things that seem like a pantry or a cellar. The owner must also be questioned about the planned establishment or renovation of the original community, which will require in the future additional investments, to which the buyer can not # 39; wait.

Pay attention to areas of potential housing problems. During his career, A. Fridman had to face only one loyal buyer of housing. He even checked before shaking hands if all the electrical outlets were working. However, most of this phase jumps, but not necessary. Apartments in higher buildings can have ceilings. If they still smell paint or are tense, the roof top may be hollow, so it's worth looking at. If you only paint the corners of the walls, it means that the marble swirls around the house. The eyes of the discreet shopper may not notice cracks in the walls. A. Fridman reminds you that a kitchen and an unfinished bathroom are a sign that you are expecting a big investment if you want to update them. If these residential areas are repaired, but the walls or floors of the living room are dirty, this is not disturbing – their repair through the pocket will not be significantly shifted.

Remember that characters, emotions and even neighbors can make a difference. NT brokers often have to drive buyers with strong emotional excitement of unreasonable transactions. "Once upon a time, an apartment in Justiniškės liked the same client that she was willing to pay for it, I did not succeed in the concessions, but I persuaded her to wait. and after a few weeks I found a very similar apartment in the adjacent street, which was seven thousand euros cheaper, "recalls A. Fridman.Sometimes it happens that san-dorys fail on the ambition of both For example, sellers are completely rigid and buyers are too direct.It is true that brokers with many communication skills are able to express themselves and feel when it is time to put pressure on a person when it is necessary to encourage or rebadure it.Buyers sometimes do not think that you should talk to future neighbors or dare to knock on the door from abroad. "But that's not a disadvantage for the broker. He can bravely climb to the neighbors door. It is necessary to talk with them. It is necessary to inspect not only the staircase, but also the doors and windows of the neighbors' field, which can provide a lot of useful information about the inhabitants of the house, their attitude to the Regard to common property. After all, no one wants to clash with neighbors, "- said A. Fridman.

7. Think about your needs, according to Friedman, the housing, which is developed, should be such that you would be appropriate no only for this moment, but also in the near future. "I've already worked with a young family. They wanted to buy a 2-room apartment. In talking to them, I realized that they could only find a home for the next 2-3 years. Later, the family will grow and need more space. The couple thanked for such insight, as they did not themselves invent a euphoria for the acquisition of the first home. I found a 3-room apartment for the desired amount, I had to choose another area of ​​the city, but the guests were very satisfied, "- recalled Fridman.

A. Fridman has He added that the search for the most suitable housing usually takes a month or a half and that in recent years, buyers in Vilnius have allocated an average of 70,000 euros to housing. can buy a 1-2-room apartment in a new building or a larger 2-3-room apartment in an old construction house.

Brokers working with buyers usually get 2-3 percent. commission of the amount of the transaction.They also get 20-30 per cent from the amount squeezed if the original price of the accommodation has not been greatly increased.If this is greatly increased – that is. is a business for the broker of the re The broker aims to obtain the purchase of a suitable house for the amount provided by the client, to keep the money for the processing of documents and for his own account.

Admittedly, care must be taken to evaluate brokers who help buy unpaid housing. According to Friedman, they share a commission with another broker representing the seller – so it's not possible to negotiate a more favorable price for the buyer.
