Home Showings
As a real estate broker, I believe it is crucial to provide clients with valuable information regarding the house showing process, enabling them to make well-informed decisions. Here are several essential aspects to emphasize: Preparation is key: I encourage clients to conduct thorough research on the property and the surrounding neighborhood beforehand. It is important for them to have a clear understanding of their budget, essential features, and deal breakers. Appropriate attire: I advise clients to dress comfortably and wear suitable footwear, as they may need to navigate various areas of the property during the showing. Documentation and visuals: Bring along a notepad or utilize a mobile app to make note of important details regarding each property they visit. Some homeowners don’t want you to take pictures of the property during the showing. Because of this, bringing a notepad is imperative for detailing what features you like or don’t like for a particular property. Attention to detail: Be observant of the property's condition, both inside and outside. Be on the lookout for signs of maintenance issues, such as water stains, cracks, or uneven floors. Inquiring wisely: Ask pertinent questions about the property, such as the age and condition of major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), where these major systems are within the home and how to access them, recent renovations or repairs, property taxes, homeowners association rules, and any known issues. Testing functionality: Take the opportunity to test various features and appliances within the property, including lights, faucets, windows, doors, and appliances, to ensure everything is in proper working order. Assessing the neighborhood: Emphasize the significance of evaluating the surrounding neighborhood. Clients should consider factors such as proximity to schools, amenities, public transportation, noise levels, and overall safety. Identifying warning signs: Remain vigilant for any potential red flags during the showing, such as indications of pests, unpleasant odors, water damage, or structural issues. Please share your concerns with me. Visualizing living arrangements: How do you see yourself living in the house? Evaluate room sizes, layouts, storage spaces, and how well the property aligns with your lifestyle needs. Allow ample time: Don’t rush through the showing process. Allocate sufficient time to thoroughly explore the property and ask all necessary questions. In certain cases, a second showing may be necessary to gather additional information.

Real Estate Brokers and Niches
What is a CPRES? A Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES) is a real estate broker who has completed specialized training and has the expertise to assist clients in the probate process. The probate process involves the legal transfer of assets from a deceased person to their heirs or beneficiaries. In the case of real estate, this can involve the sale of the deceased person's property to settle their estate. A CPRES is trained to navigate the complexities of the probate process, including understanding the legal requirements, working with attorneys and court-appointed representatives, and managing the sale of the property. They are knowledgeable about the unique challenges that can arise in probate transactions, such as title issues and disputes among heirs. In addition to their expertise in probate real estate, a CPRES may also have experience in other areas of real estate, such as residential or commercial transactions. They are held to a high standard of professionalism and ethics and are committed to providing their clients with the best possible service during this difficult time. If you are involved in a probate transaction and need assistance with the sale of real estate, working with a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist can help ensure a smoother process and a successful outcome.
