Are you selling your home this spring or summer? That is the peak time for home buying. Given how competitive the market is among prospective buyers, you can count on a lot of folks checking out your property. Hopefully it won’t be on the market long and there are some proactive steps you can take to insure landing a good price. Every repair you can take care will be one less problem for a home inspector to report about. While those repairs are going on, you’ll also want to think about getting rid of any rubbish or junk items. Those buyers want to see as much open storage as possible. Besides, getting rid of the rubbish will be a big help when it is time to pack up everything else. To help with that task you’ll want to set up a session with Junk King Minneapolis.

All Gone at Once

Junk King prides itself on getting a lot of junk cleared in a single session. The standard Junk King truck can hold the equivalent amount of six pickup trucks full of rubbish. If you think that what you’re getting rid of will fill up the truck, then you should consider scheduling the first pickup of the day. You’ll also appreciate the packing skills used by the Junk King crews. They can certainly cram what might take up a whole truck into just half of that space. That works in your favor because it will mean that you’ll be paying the low end of the price scale. It is not about how much stuff you’re getting rid of but how much space that stuff will use up on the truck. One session and it is all gone at once.

All the Work

The Junk King crew who will be assigned to your appointment is going to do all the work of lifting and loading. Don’t hesitate to ask them to go up to the attic or down in the basement to get what you want removed. And if something has to be taken apart before it can go out the door, then the Junk King squad will be happy to break out the tools and get it done.

Before your home can be market ready, you want to clear out all the junk. Junk King Minneapolis is ready to make it happen for you.

Making the decision to buy a home is a huge step forward for your life. Thanks to that decision, you’re going to find yourself learning all about real estate and financing. You might have had a passing interest with these subjects but now you’re going to take a “deep dive.” Here’s what you need to know:

Financial Options

With regard to financial options, first-time homebuyers are actually in a stronger buying position than someone who is buying a second home. There are many federally back loans that can help you make a purchase without putting down 20% deposit. There could also be state programs that can be utilized. It is to your advantage to shop around with all of these options to find the best mortgage rate. Remember, this is something you’ll be paying for a long time so you want it to be manageable.

Making an Offer

When you find a home that meets your requirements you’ll want to make an offer. This is where working with an experienced real estate broker is going to be a big help. That first offer is often meant with a counter-offer. This could set off several rounds of back-and-forth offers until you both settle on an agreed price. With that offer accepted, you should put int a good-faith deposit to lock everything in. At that point, the seller takes the home off the market and you go into escrow while waiting for the finances to be locked down and the results of the home inspection.

Using the Home Inspection

The home inspection is make or break for your purchase. It could uncover problems with the home that the owner didn’t disclose. When that happens, the offer can be taken back along with your deposit. There could be some issues that the owner wasn’t aware of that require repairs. That could result in you asking for a reduction in the price. That might be good for your final mortgage but just know that you’ll have to pay for those repairs out your own pocket.

If everything is locked down and agreed to, then it just becomes a waiting game. This is why getting pre-approved for a loan is advantageous. You’ll already know that the money will be coming in. During this time, you can start packing. You should also be getting rid of junk. You don’t want to bring old rubbish with you into your brand new home. Junk King Minneapolis can help with that particular task. Once you’ve decide what you won’t be bringing, set up an appointment with Junk King. It only takes one session with Junk King Minneapolis to keep all your old junk out of your new home. That’s a smart move!
