When I say the assessor looked at the "report", what I am referring to is an appraisal report. . Yes, before the assessor came over, I hired an appraiser to measure my unit (cost was $75). . That way when when the assessor showed up, I was able to hand him an official measurement by a licensed appraiser.

Episode 10 of The #AskDanielLosAngeles Show
In episode 10 of The #AskDanielLosAngeles Show, I answer the following 4 real estate questions:
1) The public tax records for my home are not accurate. It shows that the square footage of the house is smaller than it actually is. What should I do?
2) You keep mentioning that a buyer can back out of escrow if the home inspection doesn’t go well. Is there a way to make sure the home will pass an inspection?
3) Can you explain how a notice to perform works?
4) They make buying a home on TV look pretty easy. Is that how it is in real life?

What are my options if I cannot afford the standard 20% down payment for a home
How much of a down payment do you think is standard?
20% down to purchase a home is considered average these days.
The minimum money I recommend you put down is 10% of the purchase price of the home
You can put down less money if purchasing in a less desirable area.
.
But if you want to live in a hot part of town, you better put down AT LEAST 10%.
.
Keep in mind 20% is just average.
When is the best time of year to sell a home?
Focus on housing inventory levels, not what time of year it is.
What happens if the appraisal on your home comes in low?
What usually end up happening is that the buyer and seller end up meeting somewhere in the middle.
A low appraisal can prevent a buyer from purchasing your home
If your homes appraisal comes in low, you have 4 choices...
-
1) Have the buyer come up with the difference in cash.
-
2) Drop your purchase price to match the appraised value.
-
3) meet the buyer somewhere in the middle... you drop your price, they come up with a little cash.
-
4) cancel escrow and find a new buyer.
-
The good news with option 4 is that a brand new appraiser will appraise your property. Hopefully they will appraise your home for the agreed upon purchase price. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How do you feel about home staging?
Staging could make a buyer fall in looooove with your property. 😍😍😍
Staging can make buyers fall in love with your home
.
Since most buyers lack an imagination, staging could be critical when trying to get top dollar for your home.
.
When buyers walk into empty room, they look lost. They don't know where to put the couch, TV, art, etc.
.
Staging could make a buyer fall in love with a room the instant they see it... and isn't that what you ultimately want when selling your home?
.
Yes, it costs money, but it could help to sell your home faster a for the most money possible.

1) Is it better to stage a house before putting it on the market? Does staging even work?

3) What is the best season to sell in?
4) I want to get into the real estate market, but I haven't been able to come up with the 20% down payment. Is there a way to purchase my first home without putting 20% down?
