About Us Braselton Ga., Hoschton Ga., Jackson County Ga. Real Estate Specialist |
Braselton Ga., Hoschton Ga. and Jackson County Ga. is our specialty areas for real estate home, land and commercial sales. We also represent Winder, Jefferson, Buford, Auburn and Commerce.
One of the most complex and significant financial events in peoples lives is the purchase or sale of a home or investment property. Because of this complexity and significance, people typically seek the help of real estate brokers and sales agents when buying or selling real estate.
Our Braselton, Hoschton and North Georgia sales agents have a thorough knowledge of the real estate market in our communities. They know which neighborhoods will best fit clients needs and budgets. They are familiar with local zoning and tax laws and know where to obtain financing. Select's agents also act as intermediaries in price negotiations between buyers and sellers
.
We will arrange for title searches and for meetings between buyers and sellers during which the details of the transactions are agreed upon and the new owners take possession of the property. We can help to arrange favorable financing from a lender for the prospective buyer; often, this makes the difference between success and failure in closing a sale.
When listing a property for sale,our agents compare the listed property with similar properties that recently sold, in order to determine a competitive market price for the property.
Select Brokers sells residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, land and other types of real estate. Every specialty requires knowledge of that particular type of property and clientele. Selling or leasing business property requires an understanding of leasing practices, business trends, and the location of the property. Selling or lease industrial properties requires know about the region’s transportation, utilities, and labor supply. Whatever the type of property, Select Brokers knows how to meet the client’s particular requirements.
Before showing residential properties to potential buyers, we meet with them to get a feeling for the type of home the buyers would like. In this prequalifying phase, we determines how much the buyers can afford to spend. Our agent then generates lists of properties for sale, their location and description, and available sources of financing. In some cases, we use computers to give buyers a virtual tour of properties in which they are interested. With a computer, buyers can view interior and exterior images or floor plans without leaving our office
Our agents may meet several times with prospective buyers to discuss and visit available properties. We identify and emphasize the most pertinent selling points. To a young family looking for a house, they may emphasize the convenient floor plan, the area’s low crime rate, and the proximity to schools and shopping centers. To a potential investor, we may point out the tax advantages of owning a rental property and the ease of finding a renter. If bargaining over price becomes necessary, we must follow our client’s instructions carefully and may have to present counteroffers in order to get the best possible price
Once both parties have signed the contract, we must make sure that all special terms of the contract are met before the closing date. For example, we must make sure that the mandated and agreed-upon inspections, including that of the home and termite and radon inspections, take place. Also, if the seller agrees to any repairs, we must see that they are made. Increasingly, we are handling environmental problems as well, by making sure that the properties we sell meet environmental regulations. For example, we may be responsible for dealing with lead paint on the walls. While loan officers, attorneys, or other persons handle many details, we must ensure that they are carried out.
What is Buyer Agency
Buyer Agency simply means that we are contractually bound to represent you and only you throughout the entire home or land buying process.
* We will tell you everything we find out about the seller and reasons for selling.
* We will point out the negative aspects of each property, not just the positives!
* We will tell you if we think the listing is overpriced.
* We will offer a wide variety of comparables, and we won't stop showing you property until we find the right one. You won't waste your time driving
around with agents that only show their own listings. We show them all without prejudice--any agent, any company.
* We will also help you formulate an offering price and negotiating strategy.
Without a buyers agent helping you get the right house at the right price and terms, you might buy a home that perhaps isn't marketable.

Need More Water in Braselton, Hoschton, Jackson County? Dig a Well
Home owners in the Braselton, Hoschton and Jackson County areas who have been faced with water restrictions because of the lingering drought in the area are drilling their own wells to keep their lawns lush and their pools full.
So far this year, for instance, there have been 305 permits to drill new wells issued in Atlanta’s Fulton County and 95 permits in Raleigh, N.C.
Drilling companies bore holes usually 300 to 600 feet deep into fractured rock and then extract the water with an electric pump discreetly hidden in the shrubbery.
The practice has outraged water conservationists and other less-well-heeled home owners.
Legislators in North Carolina tried but failed to pass a law that would have imposed the same watering restrictions on private wells as on municipal water.
Jim Kennedy, Georgia’s state geologist says the practice could become a problem if a significant number of homeowners dig wells and pump a lot of water, “But so far we’re not at that point,” he says.
Before you drill contact your local water authority in regard to latest rulings.

I'm Selling My House , Do I Have To Disclose Material Facts? Yes Disclose, Disclose, Disclose
Sure it can be frustrating, exhausting and time-consuming to sell a home in some markets, but don't try to cut corners by failing to make the proper disclosures.
Not only is it illegal for you and your agent not to disclose certain material facts that can affect the value, desirability or salability of a home, most savvy buyers will quickly walk away if he or she suspects deceit.
If you lie by omission and get caught, not only can you face both local and federal charges, you'll still have a home to sell in a less-than-hospitable market. The extra time to sell your home and your day in court could stigmatize the property.
Of course, if you honestly don't know about an issue, or there's little if any chance you could have known, you obviously can't report it.
It's not a bad idea to get a home inspection so you do know. An inspection reveals your attempt at discovery, it will help you determine which items need repair or replacement (not that you are required to make certain repairs), you can use it to price your home and it's a good negotiating tool.
In any event, a good rule of thumb, when it comes to whether or not something should be disclosed: "If you can't figure it out, don't leave it out."
