FAQ

Why you can trust
M. Robert Signature Homes

The market value is determined by a comparative market analysis (CMA), which looks at recent sales of similar properties in the area, adjusted for differences in size, condition, and features. A professional appraisal may also be used.

This varies, but you can check listing history on real estate platforms or ask the seller’s agent. Longer times may indicate pricing issues or lack of demand.

A home inspection will reveal the condition, but sellers often disclose known issues. Look for recent maintenance records or upgrades to gauge upkeep.

A detailed inspection report will identify repairs. Common issues include roof leaks, HVAC problems, or foundation cracks. Sellers may provide repair history or disclose defects.

Property taxes depend on the local tax rate and assessed value. Check with the county assessor’s office or the listing agent for the exact amount, typically available in the property listing.

A title search, conducted during the purchase process, will reveal liens, mortgages, or other claims. Sellers usually clear these before closing.

Typically, fixtures like lighting, built-in appliances, and window treatments are included, unless stated otherwise. Clarify with the seller about items like furniture or specific appliances.

Research crime statistics through local police reports or online tools like CrimeReports. Talking to neighbors or visiting at different times can also provide insight.

Homeowners’ Association (HOA) fees vary, often covering amenities like pools or landscaping. Request the HOA bylaws from the seller or management company to understand rules and costs.

Check school ratings on sites like GreatSchools or contact the local school district. Quality can impact property value and appeal, even if you don’t have children.

Sellers may disclose past renovations, damages (e.g., floods), or other events. Public records or a property history report can show previous owners and sales.

Most listings allow for negotiation, depending on market conditions, time on market, and seller motivation. Your agent can advise based on comparable sales.

Average costs for electricity, water, gas, and internet can be obtained from the seller or utility companies. These vary by home size and usage habits.

Check FEMA flood maps or ask the seller for flood zone status. Properties in high-risk areas may require flood insurance, impacting costs.

Closing typically takes 30-60 days, depending on financing and negotiations. Move-in dates are set in the purchase agreement, often aligned with the seller’s needs.
