Home Buyers Stay Informed With Property Check
by
Jill Vived
Tim and Maria have been married for several years now and had finally saved enough to purchase a home. Since they were both first-time home buyers they qualified for assistance under a first-time home buyer program, and happily set out to find the home of their dreams.
The couple had looked at several homes; however one distinguished Victorian seemed to stand out more than the others. Tim and Maria just knew it would be perfect for them to start a family and so they began to initiate negotiations with the seller. A good faith deposit was given as earnest money, and as they moved further along in the process they grew more and more excited as the date of closing approached.
One evening Tim and Maria shared the news with Steve, a long a time friend of theirs and savvy real-estate investor. Steve was happy for the couple, but brought to their attention that enough research was not done on the property. Although Tim and Maria had researched the local public record, Steve pointed out that they needed an extensive and thorough public property records search to ensure that the seller was completely open and truthful about every detail of the home. Steve even pointed out that a public property records search can even reveal items that the seller was not fully aware of.
Tim and Maria wanted to know what items could this type of report reveal. Steve pointed out that a public property records search can reveal items such as, but not limited to:
• The property's sales history
• The lot size
• The current value on the market
• The current legal description
• The current mortgage information
• Liens or clouds on the title
• Possible Neighbors
• Neighborhood Information
• Local Sex Offenders
It can also reveal important information concerning the seller as well. Steve purchases at least two investment properties per warm month and indicated that he uses an instant public property records search every single time. Since he goes online to do this his yearly membership fee covers unlimited look ups. This saves him time on making trips to the local courthouse and the costly processing fees involved. Being a trusted friend and sophisticated investor, Tim and Maria took Steve's advice and did some research online. They decided to use the same service Steve does and now enjoy instant access to unlimited searches online in a very convenient manner.
Tim and Maria did find out a few details about the home that were not disclosed upfront, but they were not deal breakers. The seller simply adjusted the price of the property and at closing Tim and Maria were handed the keys to their dream home. They owe their thanks and gratitude toward Steve and the information that a public property records search delivered to them.
Seek answers and opinions on finding the best services that can provide a thorough public property records search, and remember that a public property records search can help both home buyers and investors make a more informed decision on any property purchase.
