There's nothing more frustrating than getting an offer on your home for sale at the Lake of the Ozarks with hopes that it closes quickly, only to find the deal put on hold or the buyer asking for a lower price all because of some unexpected issues that showed up on the inspection report. This is an issue that could be avoided before even listing your home. Team Andy Gibson, the best real estate team at the Lake of the Ozarks , understands that frustration and wants to help you overcome this issue. So this week we're sharing with you 3 reasons why it's a good idea to have a home inspection done before listing your home for sale: 1. Can Save You Money It can seem daunting to make repairs before you list your home, but it can save you in the long run. If issues show up in the buyer’s inspection report, the buyer will likely ask for a price reduction, a credit, or have you make the fix yourself. If the buyer is in a hurry to move on closing, any red flags that show up on...

As a homeowner trying to sell a home , there are many forms that you'll be requested to complete by your agent to ensure your listing is as accurate as possible. One of these forms is the seller's disclosure form. This is a statement that discloses important or relevant information to a real property buyer. In real estate disclosure, a seller has to disclose to a buyer the latent defects in the property. While many people may not see the importance of completing this document in its entirety, we're discussing why your completion of this form is an essential part of the listing process. Take a look: Provides the Buyer with a Sense of Security A disclosure statement that is barely filled in can raise some serious red flags for buyers. They may either think the seller is uninformed about the property or trying to cover up something. Make it a point to sit down and thoroughly fill out your disclosure statement. Use this opportunity to convey your knowledge about the prope...
