Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Neighborhood Important Factor

Before you buy a house take a close look at the neighborhood. No matter how attractive the house may be, the neighborhood location is a primary importance from an investment point of view.
Look at the surrounding houses to see if they are well maintained. If there are large tracts of vacant land nearby, ask your Realtor to check with the local planning commission to find out what their future use may be. If you’re buying a house in an attractive residential neighborhood, any commercial development may have an impact on property values.
If you have children of school age, your Realtor can also help by providing information about the school system. Local Realtors are acutely aware of all local conditions that will affect homeowners in the market area. This is just one of the many professional services your Realtor can provide.
