Special Offers From Me To You! 

Home buyers must often deal with deferred maintenance or repairs. For example, you may have found a terrific house and like many competent home buyers, you included a structural inspection contingency in your purchase agreement. What happens when you find out that your "perfect" house needs some work? Do you ask the sellers to pay for the repairs? Before you answer "yes", there are some important considerations.

Some contracts require that all of the home's systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical and central air conditioning, be in working order. In this case, the sellers may be obligated to repair any problems with these systems. Leaky roofs, damp basements, or other structural problems may not be covered, however. If you ask the sellers to make these types of repairs, you may void the contract by doing so. The sellers might prefer to negotiate the repairs to keep from losing the sale. If there are other buyers waiting in the wings with back-up contracts, you run the risk of losing the home.

I have been active in the real estate business for over 25 years, working in both the Richmond and Charlottesville, VA markets. Having experience in both restoring old homes and building new ones, I understand the complexities of both the purchasing and the construction process. I particularly enjoy showing newcomers around the area, sharing my knowledge of local history and Charlottesville culture. In real estate, the greatest rewards for me are the friendships I maintain with my clients well after the purchase or sale of their home has closed. If repeat business is a good measure of a Realtor's success, this explains why I have been one of top producers in the Charlottesville area for the last eight years.
