Reason to look for home or investments without a/c a hot day.

(1) You may be only on looking.
(2) If your the only one looking your the only one bidding or making an offer.
(3) If your the only offer the seller sees to day your the only offer the seller is considering unless its the offrs will not be looked at for several days or notice is needed to get in to the property.

PS: bring plenty of cold liquids in a cooler. Unless the property is cool expect to be dripping wet after entering closed up properties. You can always go to an air condtioned location or car to writ eup an offer afterword. Remember your approval or proof of funds and checkbook on every offer.

Looking out doors. Bring plenty of bug repellent. Where look pants and sleeves to avoid ticks and poison ivy, oak or summac and bug bites.

How to show the seller your a real buyer.

(1) Get preapproved or approved for a loan. Cash buyers need proof of fiunds in the form of a lender letter or bank statements/investment statement with you full name & address on it. Allfunds or loan data needs to be within 30 days. Remmber you don't need to show your max only what proof that it meets your loans or cash needs for the purchase.
(2) If you need a referral get one from you current lender or Realtor.
(3) Don't look at anything with out knowing what your limits are to buy prior to looking.
(4) Share this information with types of loans or information on if you need to sell or need seller contributions to purchase nwith your realtor to include with your offer.
(5) Sellers that don't see proof of funds to close will in most cases ignore offers until this is provided. So don't miss the home you want by trying to get this done after you find a home or someone else will be buying your dream home if 2 offers come in & the other has support to buy & your offer doesn;t have this.
(6) Remove as many contingencies as possible.

Beat the heat suggestion

Here's a few suggestions on how to beat the heat.

(1) Add to, turn on or, or consider buying homes with indoor air conditoning of all kinds: full system with duct work, window or wall units either portable or built in, fans of all types (whole house, desk top or floor).
(2) Pools either public or private. Kid pools, wadinpools, lap pools. Skip the hot tubs today.
(3) Beaches at ponds, lakes or oceans.
(4) Cold or cool showers or baths, sprinklers or hoses inside or out.
(5) Cooling towels or wet towels.
(6) Ice, ice water, cool drinks.
(7) White clothing reflects the heat away. Dark colors absorb the heat.

Buying with your senses.

We all do it.

(1) Sight: Curb appeal & first impressions count.
(2) Hearing: Noise or traffic detract buyers that want a tranquil location to relax and enjoy.
(3) Smell: Plesant smells or not so pleasant smells effect buyers. Consider allergies when using fragances that are friendly to all such as bakery scents. Don't forget to use non flammable scents to avoid an inadvertant bump or wind (avoid candles).
(4) Fell: You want to make your buyer feel welcome and comfortable. Avoid making them step over, around, or under obsticles and pets( or their supplies), Uncomfortable buyers don't buy and may even spread the word not your house is to be over looked. Clean and clutter free in photos as well as at showings is part of how a buyer feels. Touching surfaces as small as a door knob can say "I'm clean" or " I need work and cleaning" to a buyer. I'm clean is good. I need work or cleaning means missed potential sales, buyers buypassing your listing, or buyers not making offers or lower offers.
(5) Taste: Every buyer has 2 types of taste. One is personal preference. The either like your style or they don't. Some buyers are visual they can only see what is in front of them. Others are conseptual they can see what is beyond what is there. Its import to prepare buyers for homes hta need a conceptual buyer if your home need work prior to a showing; this way buyers are open to the properties potenail and not "shell shocked" with unexpected repairs and walk away feeling flat. The seond type of taste is in your mouth. Buyer never should feel like they are eating anything unless its positive. Example the smell of apples and cinnamon or chocolate mint makes them want to bake in their potential next kitchen.
(6)The sixth sense is emotion or comfort level. Strange noises like sqeaking doors that need oil need to be oiled. Dark rooms need to be filled with light. Dark walls need to be made brighter with paint &/or light. Clutter and extra furniture, clothing, and trash need to be completely removed from your property now befor the first showing, listing, or sign goes up.

Sellers check that all your senses have a positive feel for a potential buyer prior to your house going up for sale. Bring in a fresh pair of eyes that will help you tweak your home to its best showing potential.
