What repairs may be required by the buyer’s lender? Typically homes with major components working properly will pass an initial inspection done by an appraiser. Example: Heating and air conditioning , plumbing, electrical systems, roof, etc. Some signs that the appraiser looks for include water stains, missing light fixtures, unfinished cabinets, broker toilets, missing faucet, shingles curling or missing, broker or cracked windows, rotten or missing sliding, hot water not flowing from faucets, cold or hot air not flowing from air vents, heating or AC escaping through doors or attic entry, etc. Q. What are the different buyer loan limits? (get regular updates from a lender because limits can change) $417,000 - Conventional $346,250 - FHA Financing loan limit for most of Metro Atlanta $271,050 - FHA Financing loan limit for Non-Metro Counties (ie, Hall, Banks) $205,910 - Purchase price limit for Gwinnett Homestretch Down Payment Assistance for NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES $130,000 - Purchase price limit for Gwinnett Homestretch Down payment Assistance for PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED HOMES

Helpful seller tips For showings, if possible, please be out of the house. Prospective buyers will feel more at ease if the seller is not there. Have a pre-sale home inspection if the home is 10 years or older. Make the repairs before listing. Get cost estimate for big ticket items needing replacement soon. This is handy when negotiations start. Gather all warranties, guarantees, & user manuals, etc.(to show buyer) for items that remain with house. Make showings easy with a lock box. The easier it is to show your home, the faster you will sell. Lock up all valuables (jewelry, money, prescription drugs, etc). Agents can’t watch everyone at all times. If your home has been on the market for more than 30 days (without an offer), consider lowering the price. Interior: Air home out, eliminate all odors. For an inviting fragrance, simmer a pan of water & cinnamon on stove. Clean carpets & wax hardwood floors. Replace when necessary. Clean all woodwork & cabinets with Old English. Keep AC set no warmer than 75 degrees and heat no cooler than 70 degrees. Repaint walls, if needed, in a neutral color. This is the best return on investment that you can make. Clean windows and ledges. Take screens off on front of house. Get rid of ALL clutter/ knickknack/personal pictures, etc. Store in a POD, garage, or basement. Remove as much furniture as possible. The more floor space a buyer can see, the bigger the room looks. When showing, the more light the better. Keep ALL lights on, drapes/blinds open, and add lamps in dark areas. Dust & wash all light fixtures, fans, fixtures, blinds, windowsills, and plant ledges. Clean fireplace, remove any items that are in front of it. Be sure beds are made, clothes are hanging up, take off-season clothing and junk out of closets. Clean bathrooms well and make all chrome & glass shine. No clutter on sinks. Freshly calk if needed. Remove all wallpaper in house and repaint with a neutral color. (Buyer & seller taste is usually different.) Keep kitchen counters cleared off, appliances & sink should shine. No magnets/pictures on refrigerator. If you have pets, keep them confined to a room, basement, crate, etc. Exterior: Pressure wash driveway, patio, & walkways, and make sure front door bell is working. Clean gutters & eaves. Clean (or paint) the front door, garage door, trim & siding. Fix any broken roof shingles. Clean out garage and keep organized. Pressure wash garage floor if needed. Keep lawn mowed and well edged. Trim shrubs clean out old flower beds and invest in new flowers/plants. Front door should be in good condition (new paint or stain). Make sure welcome mat is in good condition. The buyer’s first impression starts at the curb & continues through the entrance way. Make it a good one.
