Atlanta Real Estate Tips

How To Buy A Home in metro Atlanta

Protecting yourself

Two things can add to your peace of mind as you enter the final stages of home buying: home inspections and home warranties.

A professional inspection of a home prior to closing can lessen the chance for surprises.  Even if you've arranged to have an inspection, you should still plan to take a "walk-through" of the property immediately before the final papers are signed.

A home warranty can protect sellers before the closing and buyers after the closing against the failure of major home systems during the warranty period.  In most states, GMAC Real Estate offers a Home Protection Plan.  This plan will pay to repair or replace items such as heating and cooling units, plumbing and electrical systems and appliances for 13 months after the sale.  Ask your sales professional for specific information.
