Hire a Professional Katy, Fulshear TX Real Estate Agent
A qualified, competent real estate agent will help you
navigate the myriad of decisions that arise when buying and selling
a home. An agent provides value to the homeowner in many ways:
- Pays for all marketing and advertising
costs.
- Adds experience and expertise in all aspects
of the sales process including marketing, financing,
negotiations and more.
- Handles all showings.
- Brings a network of known, trusted real
estate professionals. If your agent doesn't have the answer, he
or she likely knows someone who does.
- Always has your interests in mind so you
always have someone on your side.
- Can handle and advise on all price and
contract negotiations.
- Provides you with all the possible options
and opportunities without holding back.
- Gives an unbiased, realistic view of your
home and your options. Unlike buyers and sellers, an agent has
no emotional attachment to property.
- Has the knowledge to help you ask the right
questions.
- Being a third party, potential buyers are
more likely to tell your agent the truth about your home, even
if it is unflattering. This objective viewpoint will help you
make the necessary changes to get your home sold.
- Your time is valuable. A real estate agent
allows you to spend your time how you want.

The real estate market in Katy and Fulshear area is certainly
volatile, and all of the information about buying a home can be
overwhelming. We can help.
Shopping for a new Katy, Fulshear home is an emotional experience.
It’s also time consuming and comes with a myriad of details. Some buyers,
however, caught up in the excitement of buying a new home tend to overlook
some items. Their home purchase turns into an expensive process. These
errors generally fall into three areas:
* Paying too much
* Losing a dream home to another buyer
* Buying the wrong home
When you have a systematic plan before you shop, you’ll be sure to avoid
these costly errors. Here are some tips on making the most of your home
purchase:
Bidding without sufficient information
What price do you offer a seller? Is the seller’s asking price too high? Is
it a deal? Without research on the market and comparable homes, you could
lose thousands of dollars. Before you make that offer, be sure you have
researched the market. A professional realtor, can offer an unbiased opinion
on the value of a home, based on market conditions, condition of the home
and neighborhood. Without knowledge of the market, your offer could be too
much. Or worse, you could miss out on a great buying opportunity.
Buying a mis-matched home
What do you need and want in a home? Sounds simple. Yet, clearly identifying
your needs and bringing an objective view to home shopping, leaves you in a
better position. Sometimes, home buyers buy a home that is too large or too
small. Perhaps they didn’t consider the drive to work, the distance to
school, or the many repair jobs waiting for completion. Plan ahead. Use your
needs list as a guideline for every home you view.
Unclear title
Before you sign any document, be sure the property you are considering is
free of all encumbrances. As part of their services, a realtor can supply
you with a copy of the title to ensure there are no liens, debts,
undisclosed owners, leases or easements.
Outdated survey
Before the purchase is completed, an updated survey is essential. This
report will indicate boundaries and structural changes (additions to the
house, a new swimming pool, neighbor’s new fence which is extending a
boundary line, etc.).
Unexpected repairs
For $300 - $500 a professional inspector will conduct a thorough inspection
of the home. This way, you’ll have an idea of the cost of future repairs.
Make the final contract subject to a favorable report.
Shopping without pre-approval
It only takes a few days to get financing pre-approval. When you are
shopping for a home, this gives you more power. A seller is more likely to
consider an offer from a serious buyer.
Simple Steps to Ensure a Smooth Katy, Fulshear Home Purchase
Buying a home can be an emotional, time-consuming, and complex process.
There are a few things that you can do to help make the process go as smooth
as possible:
1. Check your credit.
Before you apply for a home loan, regardless of your credit, it's a smart
idea to obtain a copy of your credit report from the three major credit
bureaus and review the information. If there are errors or things that need
to be addressed, it's easier to address them before you have found a house,
than after you have found a house and are trying to close your loan.
If you know that there are a few blemishes on your credit, let your lender
know what they are, why they are there, and why you are a still good credit
risk. Lenders look at your credit to determine how likely you will pay back
the loan. If you had extenuating circumstances - like a loss of a job or
medical bills - let them know so that they understand that it is not likely
to happen again in the future.
2. Get approved before you buy.
An approval means that a lender has reviewed your credit history, verified
your assets and employment, and has approved your loan before you have found
a home to purchase. As long as the home appraises for at least the purchase
price, the loan should close.
Getting approved also gives you an advantage over other buyers. Your firm
approval makes it easier for you to negotiate on the price of a home, than a
person who is not approved or is pre-qualified.
While getting pre-qualified may sound official, it is really just getting an
idea of what you can afford. Its having a person plug in a few numbers that
you give them - your monthly income and your monthly debt - and getting an
approximate payment calculated. From the payment, the calculator can
approximate the house price range that you can afford. No information is
verified. Because your assets, income or credit is not verified, a
pre-qualification has little value when purchasing a home.
3. Find a great buyer's agent.
Traditionally real estate agents represent the sellers in a transaction.
When you are not working with a buyer's agent, they are less likely to
negotiate the best price or contingencies for you.
A buyer's agent's job and fiduciary responsibility (meaning legal duty) is
to you, the buyer. Before working with an agent, establish if they are a
buyer's agent or a seller's agent. After spending a lot of time with a
Realtor, it's natural to feel like you're a team. But if they are not
negotiating for you, then they are not on your team.
