There is a standard chain of events that occurs when an offer comes in on a home. After a meeting of the minds, the buyer often brings in a home inspector who may find a few items that need to be repaired. The real estate agent gives the homeowner a list of the requested repairs. What comes next?

In most transactions, the seller will take care of the repairs. Many sellers wait until the week before the closing to call someone to do the work, because they want to be sure that they are going to make it to the closing table before they spend money on repair work. If you are responsible for making repairs to a home you are selling, make sure you have the work done well in advance of the closing date by licensed professionals who will stand behind their work. If the work is done at the last minute and is incomplete or unsatisfactory, it could cause complications at the closing. You should provide the buyers with all the receipts and the names of the persons to contact in case there is a problem with the repairs.

My goal as a Number 1 Realtor is to establish an enduring relationship with all my customers while assisting them to meet their real estate needs. Since the majority of my business results from either past clients, or referrals from buyers or sellers, it is of the utmost importance to me to have a high reputation of honesty, integrity and expertise between myself and all those with which I conduct business. Couple this with the many years of experience I have in the industry, as well as the business and marketing tools I implement to assist my buyers and sellers, and you will find that real estate transactions can actually be an enjoyable experience! I am a lifelong resident of the Philadelphia Area and personally know how much this city and surrounding suburbs has to offer. I have raised my own family here and am conversant in all aspects of the vicinity, from shopping and the best driving route to work, to great restaurants and historical sites. My first hand knowledge of the area will be invaluable in assisting you with your real estate transactions.
