We've thoroughly enjoyed having Karen Haug  as our realtor.  She's very knowledgeable and has had a lot of patience with us - which we have really appreciated -  throughout  the process of preparing to list and in selling.   We knew it would not be the easiest property to sell but Karen works hard and brought us a buyer pretty quickly.  We're out-of-state sellers so it's been great to have good communication with her at all times.  Karen has a great personality, is easy to work with, highly ethical, and is a dedicated professional.  We're very happy with our experience and are so glad we found her.  A plus all around.

Buying with Sell 4 Free was the best decision we made in the whole process of moving to southern Indiana. Andy and Brenda are as connected as anyone in Jasper. They have a great understanding of the market and what to anticipate with each particular house.

We worked with Andy, and he worked very hard to find a house that fit our specific needs. You never have to wonder if he's yanking you around to buy a house that is listed with him like many other companies might. He's straight up on every showing. On top of that, if you're new to town, he'll connect you to the right people for everything you need both house related and non.

Upstanding people and great business!

S.W. Real Estate

After spending just over a year house hunting, it was time for a change of realtor.  After meeting with Andy Welsh, my hunt began again. Within a month, he had found me exactly what I was looking for.  It was quite honestly one of the easiest experiences I have been involved with. I can't say enough about the speed, ease, and professional nature of my home buying experience.  My hat's off to Andy and the Sell 4 Free team.

S.B. Real Estate

Andy was terrific to work with.  He guided our transition very well.  We could not have been happier with the end result.  He was flexible.  We went from exploring options to needing a patient, experienced realtor who can work quickly.  His valuable inight was really helpful.

Eric W. Real Estate

Working with Andy Welsh was truly an amazing experience! He is always very honest and up front about a property and possesses great vision when it comes to "fixer upper" properties (which is what i was looking for). He is also very informed of the real values of a home and knows the areas in which the properties are located. Andy is also able to spot most potential issues that should be negotiated during the sales/offer process. Within two weeks he found the exact property I was looking for!!

I would highly recommend Andy to anyone and in fact have several times!!

Regards,

Eric A

Eric A Real Estate

I am completely satisfied with the level of attention Andy gave us and how hard he worked to find us the right property.  There is no question if we ever need to buy or sell real estate again Andy is the first and only person I would call.

Phil A. Real Estate

Andy Welsh was great to work with.  Andy made buying a house stress free, it was a smooth process.  Sell4Free is an awesome company.

Ann S. Real Estate

Andy Welsh was great to work with in selling our home.  How could I have anything bad to say when he sold our home in under 2 weeks?

John B. Real Estate

Karen takes the stress out of the searching and buying process. She often gave up time on Saturdays and short notice to meet our needs. I would recommend her to family and friends always.

10 Real Estate Terms You Should Know Before You Sell Your Home

10 Real Estate Terms You Should Know Before You Sell Your HomeIf you’re thinking of selling your home in the near future, now is the time to brush up on some of your real estate knowledge. After all, when you first purchased the home your real estate agent may have left you feeling confused with some of the terms and jargon used in the industry.

Before you put your property on the market take a bit of time to familiarize yourself with some of the following real estate terms and acronyms. When it’s time to speak to your real estate agent you’ll be in a stronger position to understand the terms of the sales contract with confidence and you might even avoid some of the more common mistakes sellers make when selling a home.

Chattels

Chattels are any unattached goods or items in your home that you intend to take with you after the property sells. Common chattels might include your fridge, TVs, washing machines and other personal items the buyer won’t get as part of the sale

Some buyers and sellers commonly confuse chattels with fixtures. Generally speaking, fixtures are those items that are attached to the property or that will remain with the property after it’s sold. Common fixtures might include curtain rods, dishwashers and ovens, among other things.

When it’s time to sign the contract, make sure you stipulate exactly what you intend to list as a chattel and what you’ll list as an exclusion. If you intend to take mirrors, floor coverings, or any other items that a seller could commonly believe they’ll get as part of the sale be sure it’s itemized clearly as an exception. Being crystal clear about chattels and fixtures could mean avoiding arguments on closing day.

Staging

Staging is the real estate industry term that simply means dressing up your home to make it look fabulous to buyers. Most real estate agents will offer some basic tips for staging your home yourself to highlight its potential, including removing any clutter to make rooms look more spacious and packing away any personal items. If you don’t feel confident doing it yourself you can choose to hire a professional staging company to showcase your home for you.

CMA (Comparative market Analysis)

A CMA is a report that lists comparable homes that were recently sold in your area, which is one of the more reliable ways to reach a realistic listing price for your home. Sometimes real estate agents might refer to a CMA as a comp. Your chosen listing agent should research recent sales in your area and put together a CMA report for you before your list your home for sale.

MLS (Multi-Listing Service)

Multi-listing services are organizations that collect data about home sales in private databases and distribute that information to real estate agents. Data collected by MLS organizations may also be used on home listing websites

An example of the data used may include MLS home sale listings, allowing prospective buyers to see what properties are available for sale in a particular area and sellers to ensure their home is advertised effectively. Collected data can also be used to display listings of sold properties, allowing buyers and sellers to gauge how much properties in a particular area were sold for in the past and how long those homes have been on the market.

APS (Agreement of Purchase and Sales)

Once you find a buyer for your home, it’s time to complete and sign an Agreement of Purchase and Sales, or APS. Your APS is a legally binding contract that sets out the exact conditions of the sale, including the final purchase price and the closing date.

The APS should also specify all of the inclusions and exemptions for chattels and fixtures so there is no confusion about what’s staying and what’s going on closing day.

Conditional Sale

A conditional sale is one that includes a clause on the APS that stipulates the sale is subject to certain criteria being met before the sale can proceed. If the conditions listed on the contract are not met, the buyer can walk away from the sale.

For example, some buyers may make an offer on your home that is conditional on them receiving a satisfactory home inspection. Another common condition is including a ‘subject to finance’ clause, in which the buyer needs to obtain finance approval prior to closing the sale.

Other buyers may enter a ‘subject to sale’ clause within the APS that specifies that the purchase is conditional on them selling their own property within a certain timeframe before closing on the sale of your home.

Equity

Home equity is the difference between the property’s market value and the outstanding balance of any mortgages owed. For example, if your home is valued at $200,000 and you owe the bank $120,000, then your equity is $80,000.

Mortgage Prepayment Penalties

Once your home is sold and closing day arrives, the transaction will include paying off any outstanding mortgage balance you have on the property. Your lender may have included a clause in your mortgage contract outlining any mortgage prepayment penalties that may be due if you pay off your home loan earlier than the agreed term date. The actual mortgage prepayment penalty you will pay depends on your lender and the terms written into your mortgage contract.

VTB (Vendor Take-Back Mortgage)

Sometimes also known as owner financing, a VTB is when the seller agrees to offer finance for some of the buyer’s mortgage in conjunction with a traditional mortgage. Most buyers already have a mortgage loan in place through a traditional lender, so a VTB is often listed as a second lien on the home.

For example, a buyer has obtained a fixed-rate mortgage of 80% of the purchase price and needs to come up with a 20% down payment to complete closing. The home seller might offer that buyer a VTB mortgage to cover that down payment.

If the home purchase price is $300,000, then the 80% mortgage amount is $240,000. The vendor may offer to lend the seller a VTB mortgage for $60,000, leaving the buyer with two separate loans to repay.
