I'm so happy I found you. loved how clear and simple you explain everything. I wished I've found you when I first look at this house. I've done things much differently. There were a few tips you said that didn't know it can be done. Like, have the inspector go back to check the repairs and a few other things. But that's ok. I'm glad I found you now and subscribe so when I need you in the near future. Thank you
My closing date is on Monday and they scheduled the final walk through 2 hrs before we sign. What happens if the seller (New Build) were not able to fix all the issues. I been calling the sales rep to have my inspector inspect the home but they said it would not be done till Sunday afternoon. It just seems short notice..if my inspector finds something and they don’t have enough time to fix..What happens next?
Hi Andrew! I'm getting my first condo in 2 days. I did the final walk through with my real estate agent 2 days ago. And I found out that the seller took the lamps in both bed and living room. Its okay for them to take the lamps, but my point is there's no ceiling fans and lights in the bed and living room. Those two lamps are the only option that I can light up my condo. I asked my agent and she said she forgot to disclosure those lamps in the contract. Now I have to buy 2 back-up lights or lamps in order to light up my condo. Then waiting for the handyman installs the ceiling fans + lights in both rooms. The worst thing is my agent wont be able to come to the closing day with me. She said because she has another closing appointment on the same day. Since the beginning of the process, she did not show me any of the condos. I had to go all by myself, check everything, she did not show up at all. Until the final walk-through, its the first time and the only time she saw my condo. And she does not know that the oven is running by electricity or gas, she pulled the neighbors living next door and asking her in front of me. Then I asked her about those little machines attached on the wall such as the door bell, the alarm detector and one more, she doesnt know what are they. She is the worst agent that I've had. She refused to talk to my lender because she said they're too complicated (I'm doing the financing with BOA). She tried to convince me so many times to another lenders that she's known. I asked her are they private lenders. She said its the wholesale lenders, and I have no idea who they are. She did not tell me about the $400 Homeowner Warranty that I can credit back from the Seller. She talked to the other side by herself. And only when it came to the time I was almost losing the offer due to the unhappiness from the seller side, she told me about the $400 Homeowner Warranty. I didnt even want that money. Then she refused to re-arrange my closing day with the Tittle Company due to my personal issue. She asked me to contact the Tittle company and let her know. She does not know or understand anything in the Closing Disclosure. I asked her couple of questions about the number, she told me to talk to the Lender. I really dont know what exactly realtor job in this kind of situation. This is my first time buying the condo, and the last time having business with that agent. I love the real estate business, but I dont wanna be a realtor. I just want to invest like my mom does. I'm all by myself, and this is my first investment. I chose buying condo in order to build my credit line. And 100% this is not my only condo that I'm going to buy, I'm only 25 yrs old, so maybe that's why she does not consider me as an adult who knows things. Can you give me some tips of finding a good agent? Because I will stick around this business for a long term, but working with agent like this gives me headaches.
Wendy chen they took advantage of your youth...that’s horrible. I’d report this to the agency she works for! Totally unprofessional! Sorry that happen to you...learn, like I did...by your mistakes. Always get a reference from trusted friends! Blessings
What would you do if the seller purposely damaged the house in some way (put a hole in the wall, stained the carpet, ect) the morning of the closing? You wouldn't see it until it was too late. This could happen if they sellers are going through a divorce and one isn't happy about selling the house, or if the seller is just a jerk.
Hi Vital Forces, Thank you for watching and for sharing with us. It's great to hear from you! Not sure why a seller would purposely damage the house in some way? That wouldn't bode well. Real estate has a 5 year statue of limitations for legal recourse against a seller. If one could prove the seller"purposely" damaged the house then one maybe able to sue the seller to make repairs/ reparations. If that's your case or anyone's case that is reading this, please consult a real estate attorney. What would you like to see next? Thanks again for watching! Enjoy an amazing day!

@@AndrewFinney oooh good question. How about "prevent disasters that will kill your home value like water damage" or "is mold always a deal breaker". You're the best. Your channel deserves more views and more traffic. You've answered so many of my burning questions
@@svalentina3075 Thank you for the great topic ideas 💡! You're the best and your kind words mean a lot to me.

Most of your tips are related to a home buyer. What can someone do when moving into an apartment complex if the apartment does not seem to have been professionally deep cleaned, air filters changed, locks changed, carpets cleaned (CARPETS are gross and that is why I think apartments should have laminate flooring) A tenant usually does not see the apartment until move in day and if the place is not cleaned, where do you go until it is cleaned.
Hi doris gorgo, Thank you for watching. It's great to hear from you! Yes, your right. The video's on my channel focus on buying a house, selling a house, owning a home, and investing in real estate. To be honest, I'm not property manager and my videos are focused on my specialties. I have made some videos about renting vs buying though you may find interesting. What would you like to see next?

Hi Andrew. I am buying a Duplex and I will occupy one half and rent the other. The seller would not agree to have the tenant out before the close of escrow. Do I have any options? The contract has already been signed. I understand his hesitancy. He could lose the deal and a tenant if things don't work out.
Hi Brenda Yah, Thank you for watching and for your great question! First, sounds like a great "house hacking" plan, very smart! Does the current seller and tenant have a lease agreement in place? If so, what are the terms of the lease and the expiration date? This information should be provided to you along with the sellers real property disclosure (SRPD). The best step is to discuss the matter with your real estate agent and ask them for their advice. Specifically, what terms are you asking for in your contract? If the seller accepted and agreed to your offer (and it states that tenant must be out {depending on if a lease agreement is in effect} then the terms need to be met by the seller) As possible solution for all parties, ask your agent about the contingencies in your contract and ask your agent to chat with the listing agent to help figure out a solution that is amenable to both you and the seller. (Again, it all depends if a lease agreement is in place, the terms of the agreement, expiration, the amount of days required to give notice to the tenant to vacate, etc... A lot of variables on that one.) If no lease agreement, and just a thought, have your agent find out from the listing agent what is most significant to the seller... Renting the property or selling it. Then work to find middle ground in which the seller agrees to have the tenant vacate based upon alleviating his fear/ concern of the deal falling apart. FEAR is a #1 motivator of both buyers and sellers and quite frequently, once discussed aloud, a viable solution found that leaves both feeling much more comfortable, then terms can be ironed out that are agreeable to both parties . This will vary depending upon your state/ local "tenants rights" laws. Depending on answer... Discuss the matter with your agent and ask your agent to process an addendum to the purchase agreement that states: 1. the close of escrow will occur upon the tenant vacating. 2. close of escrow to be extended by (the required amount of days notice in your location for a tenant to vacate) In such a case, you need to prepared to walk away if the terms you aren't comfortable with aren't present and the negotiations don't go well. At the end of the day Brenda Yah, it's your call... You may want to have this conversation with your agent and/ or attorney. Hope this helps! Please let us know how everything works out for you! Wishing you the very best and that all turns out the way you want. =) Enjoy a great day! Thanks, -Your Real Estate Geek, Andrew Finney
Wondering how that worked out for you. Never a good idea to purchase a home (that you intend to reside in) in which a tenant lives in. You always want to vet your own tenant.
Your videos have been incredibly helpful -- thanks!

How about NEW Construction Initial Walk Through? Do you have any tips for that?
What would you do if the seller purposely damaged the house in some way (put a hole in the wall, stained the carpet, ect) the morning of the closing? You wouldn't see it until it was too late.
This could happen if they sellers are going through a divorce and one isn't happy about selling the house, or if the seller is just a jerk.

Hey Andrew, for some reason the video freezes at 37 seconds
It doesn’t for me
They moved the headstones but they didn't move the bodies. Now what? 😜
