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

How to Overpay for Your Next Home

How to Overpay for Your Next HomeIt all starts with the best intentions. You have a list of all the things you want in a new home, as well as a budget that you’re going to stick to.

Almost invariably, however, home buyers fall into the same trap. They tour a home that meets those original parameters, but it’s slightly above that budget purchase price. The home buyer gets caught up in something they didn’t initially consider but realize they now must have.

The problem is, only so many homes are available with that must-have, which likely means they’re going to overpay to get it. That’s how the free market works.

Overpaying for a home can be disastrous, yet it happens just about every day. If you want to join the ranks and pay more for your next home than you should, here’s how:

Let your eye wander

When people set their must-have lists for a new home, it’s mostly a practical matter. They need this many bedrooms, these many baths, perhaps a finished basement. It’s more of what they had in their last place. For example, a family living in a three-bedroom home will have their lives complete if they could just get four bedrooms.

But temptation sets in, and home buyers see a home that’s slightly above their original price range but has a “man-cave” in the basement. A home that’s 400 square feet bigger than their current dwelling has the perfect tinge of blue in the granite countertops, and now a 600-square-foot-larger home without that blue-specked granite just won’t do.

These shiny objects cause the buyers to stray from their original commitment to spend only so much because they need just so much more. When it comes to home buying, there’s always greener grass, which is also more expensive for home sales.

Ignore the math

If you find a home that fits your original specifications but is missing those new-found desires, consider what it would cost to add them yourself. For example, if the only thing that otherwise perfect home is missing is that man-cave or blue-specked granite, do some research. Find out if you can spend $20,000 less on a similar home and pay $10,000 to bring it up to your (new) standards.

The most significant mistake overpaying home buyers make is to assume that only this one home can have this thing they want. They dismiss the idea that they can add that to an otherwise perfect home for less money.

Go it alone

This point has nothing to do with wandering eyes or amenities you didn’t even know you wanted but for which you now will pay too much. It has to do with people and negotiation.

A listing agent has a responsibility to one party: the seller. They might be super-nice to you, accommodating your every request. Offer to talk to the seller about coming off their asking price. But make no mistake, they’re bound legally to represent only that seller.

And that means the best way for a home buyer to overpay is to try to negotiate a price by themselves, with that super-friendly listing agent legally bound to represent the interests of the seller.

If the home seller has an agent representing them,  why not have a buyer’s agent to serve you and negotiate on your behalf? If you were heading into court, you’d want qualified legal representation, right? So why not get qualified real estate representation to negotiate what might be the most significant purchase of your life?

Homeownership can be great, whether you’re a first-time buyer or moving up from that first home. You know what you want (or thought you did), which is excellent, but it makes no sense to overpay because you don’t recognize what makes you a candidate to pay more than you must.

Don’t be a sucker, that is, unless you want to overpay.
