Your listing contract will include a clause that says the home is being conveyed “as is,” which means you’re selling the property in its current condition with no intention to make repairs or improvements. That doesn’t absolve you of responsibility to the homebuyer—you’ll still have to provide a state-mandated seller’s disclosure attesting to what you know about the home’s condition.
If the buyer includes a home inspection contingency in the sales contract, it allows them to come back and ask for repairs before closing or they can ask for a price reduction. You can refuse, and the home will go back on the market, wasting precious marketing time. In the event that the buyer intends to tear down or gut the home, the sales contract can be drafted without an inspection contingency or it can be contingent to major systems only.
There’s also a stigma to selling “as is” which means the buyer is purchasing the property sight-unseen and will likely make a much lower offer—if they make one at all. Your home could stay on the market longer than you want, leaving you obligated to manage expensive carrying costs, including the mortgage, home insurance, HOA fees, utilities and taxes. |

Summer Home Décor
What pops into your mind when you think of summer? Sunshine? Vacations? Oceans, lakes and swimming pools? Watermelon and pineapple? You can make your home as relaxing as a spa, as cheerful as a sunny day, and as refreshing as an oasis. Here are some suggestions to get you started turning your home into your very own resort destination:
Color Summer colors are bright, bold and happy. Think about your favorite fruit in season. The spectacular lavenders and corals of sunrises and sunsets. The saturated greens found in meadows and grasses grew lush from spring rains. The sky, blue as a robin’s egg, salted with pillowy clouds.
Indoor-outdoor merging Don’t be afraid to go big with plants on the floor, the tables, and on the walls, especially with a collection of beautiful boho containers.
Landscape lighting around the pool, on the trees, and the fence line is an excellent way to enjoy the indoor-outdoor experience. Add solar-powered walkway lighting and festoon arbors with glowing lanterns.
Design a romantic walkway through a plush garden of roses, gardenias, tuberoses and other fragrant and beautiful plants.
Resort-style pampering The trend that hotels began a few years ago was to make travelers feel like they’re in their own homes. The Papernstitchblog.com suggests that today people want to feel as pampered at home as they are at fine hotels and resorts.
Along with a few home décor ideas already mentioned above, the blog recommends hotel-style amenities for your home, such as canopy beds with crisp white linens, soaking tubs, and showers with rain heads.
The trend is called endless summer, and you’ll love everything you do to bring summer to your home all year long. |

You may think you don’t need a first-time homebuyer’s certificate, but it’s a good idea to take a few hours to obtain one. A certificate shows you’ve completed educational requirements to prepare you mentally and financially to buy a home. Plus, completion of a course may make you eligible for some first-time homebuyer assistance or income qualified programs such as grants, down payment assistance, and zero interest loans.
Getting certified is easy as long as you make certain that the course you’re taking or the counseling you’re receiving meets the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling.
Coursework will typically include:
How to budget for a home you can afford.
Learning all about mortgage loans and interest rates.
How to navigate the homebuying process.
Property maintenance, taxes, and other ongoing costs.
Local, state and federal housing laws.
How to avoid foreclosure.
