Buying Greenville SC Foreclosures

I’ve found the right home, what’s next?

Do your homework before making any offers. Of course, your buyer’s agent can help you determine if the price is a good value. Once you submit an offer, it’s likely your offer will be met with a counter offer, banks also work hard to get the best price for the property. Your agent will help you with the negotiation if the lender is willing to negotiate on the price.

Once your offer has been accepted, get the home inspected. It is important that you have it inspected because the bank has, most likely, no first-hand knowledge of the home’s condition prior to acquisition. There may be no record of repairs or maintenance that would assess the home’s true condition. Most foreclosed homes are sold as-is and the cost of repairs usually falls to your hands. You may also want to have the foreclosed home appraised to know the home’s true market value. A title search is also a must. Banks generally clear the title before listing a home but that is not always the case so it is important to get the most up-to-date title information to see if the home is clear of liens and verify if the deed is correct.
