I’m not a fan of dealing with real estate agents, but if you want to buy property sometimes it’s a necessary evil.
- I have bought and sold homes without real estate agents, but sometimes it helps to have a second set of hands on deck.
Sometimes they’ll find properties that you’re not even aware have been listed. In these situations, it could be helpful to consult with a real estate agent even if you don’t use them for the final sale. There could be certain things about a house that you don’t know to look for especially when you’re hiring an inspector for the first time. I didn’t know how to find water damage in homes when I was a new home buyer. But nowadays I can figure out even the most hidden water damage problems. On top of that, you might not know about finding out if you can make certain adjustments to homes after the fact. For instance, some homes will only take certain heating and cooling systems. I bought an old house down south once that had such a small addict I couldn’t use a traditional ventilation system. I could not get metal ductwork so I had to use flex duct. Right now I’m dealing with a house that I’m trying to renovate but I am starting to wonder if I should just get a package style air conditioner for it. A package style air conditioner has one large component that contains both the condenser and the evaporator coil. It’s sort of like a window air conditioner but much larger. Of course the evaporator coil is inside the house while the rest of the component is on the outside of the house. Sometimes you’ll see a package HVAC system on the side of a house or on its rooftop.
