Of course the very first person you must look for when buying an Aventura real estate property is the real estate agent. Having a buyers agent is greatly helpful especially if you're none too aware of the intricacies of real estate. But dont just hire any agent you find. Show some diligence in researching and knowing everything you can about your candidates. Connection, knowledge, experience and seniority are all important characteristics of a stellar agent.
Closing agent
Before buying the Aventura real estate property, you must first know if the seller actually owns it; and you can do buy hiring a title company. The company will determine if the seller has the right to sell the house and guarantees the buyer that the property will be free from any lien. In addition to the title company, consider hiring a closing agent to help you deal with the closing meeting and help you handle the transaction during escrow.
Appraiser and Home inspector
To make sure that the property youre about to buy is priced just right, you must hire an appraiser. Choose a state-licensed appraiser to help you with research on the citys market trend. The appraiser is always needed in order to ensure the lender that the amount your borrowing is equal to or less than the value of the property youre planning to purchase.
In addition to the appraiser, hire a home inspector. In home-buying, checking the condition of the home is de rigueur. You must know if the property is safe from the foundation up to the roof, and if there is any pest infestation.
Insurance agent
Dont be surprised if your lender requires you to hire a homeowner insurance agent. As a homeowner, you must provide the lender with an insurance policy for the home before closing day. But before hiring just any insurance agent, dont forget to at least visit three companies and obtain quotes. Once thats done, decide on paying the premium.
Attorney
If you cant understand the contents of the purchase contract of your Aventura real estate property, you have the option of hiring a real estate attorney. The right attorney can help you not only with your purchase contract but with your other real estate documents as well.
