What to know when selling your house! Audra Lambert

Audra, Thank you for your videos. We are selling in the spring (in MN). How far in advance should we get a pre-inspection?

If I sell as is, how low will it sell below market value? Or selling to cash buyers? Thank you!

I found liens on a property I was buying when the title company did not. I just went down to the county building as gave the owner's name. Beware, professionals aren't necessary competent.

Shopping around the Western USA I see a huge number of houses dropping large amounts. But few sales. Montana, Idaho, Oregon specifically.

This is gospel. Thanks so much!

Great information!!!

Which is the proper name to call a REALTOR or REALATOR?

Great information. I came across your channel while preparing for a class presentation. I changed my subject at the last minute because my mom passed away a few weeks ago and now I have a house to put on the market.

Half of the last four homes I sold were from buyers that came from neighbors.

👍

I love yr channel, watching you from New Zealand. We have bought and sold properties in Florida and think your advice is invaluable

Great info

I just bought my home in 2020, my inspection was good so why not have my buyer pay/receive the inspection? And also staging is overrated when clearing and setting up your home without paying someone to bring in items is just as possible.

I appreciate the manner in which you deliver advice. Thank You from Florida

Girrrl, reduce the damn price by 30%

Always watching your videos. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

I paid 10% rate at one of the houses we owned... cant remember exactly when. But it def lmtd what our family could buy.

Thank you Audra for sharing your great experience it is very helpful.

So much for the 30-day escrow ... back in the day.

Thank you...good information...

I had a realtor once who didn't have the money in our bank for three days...she took advantage of us even knowing that my husband had cancer, and to top it off he worked with her part-time, and she picked the price of our home knowing that she already had a buyer....she is about as evil as evil is...lied and even stole some items out of our vehicle while we were in the house with the buyers on the closing day...THAT'S CALLED BURGLARY TO A VEHICLE, I so wanted to file a police report, but I know that one day she will pay for what's she done....one way or another. She's a thief and the worst realtor we ever had.....

Yes!!!! This is vital info! I put my home on the market years back and had NO clue about the psychological impact of strangers touching everything in your home, getting dirty, I had people take a paint chip off of the fireplace mantle!!! Also, 2x, I got out of the shower and there was a realtor and clients looking at me in my robe😳 I found myself crying in frustration between showings. I was not in my home anymore for months🥲

Good job 👍 keep up the great! work 🙏

love the videos, right to the point (refreshing to a New Yorker) - plus how you laugh at your little jokes is priceless. I can see why you're successful in real estate. thanks for all the great info.

Just discovered your videos, and there is SO most helpful information in them-- thank you so much!
Really appreciate all your help!

A pet peeve for me is people who can't pronounce "realtor" correctly ..but add a syllable, saying it as "real-uh-tor" instead. And I hear you doing that, which really surprises me, because you are so polished, professional,nand savvy, yet pronounce it the same as someone with no education.

It's like fingernails scraping a chalkboard to me, and I can't be the only one. I would respectfully request that you alter the pronunciation when you use that word, please.

Thank you for your time and attention.

You want your viewers to believe you really are a Real Estate expert? Say Realtor correctly. Real-tor (2 syllables.) Not real-a-tor. Please

So do you suggest sellers do the inspection much before putting on market or after listing it?

What is a realitor?

You're awesome 😄

Audra, what are contingencies?

Great video! We purchased our home (Fairfield County, Connecticut) in 1999. Due to poor economy in the previous city we lived in, we were "in the hole" so to speak-had to pay to get out of the condo. Ended up with PMI because we couldn't put 20% down. We were young and not as educated on these matters. It's so great to have the amount of information for today's market. Would you recommend a list of when things were done in the house (e.g., new roof, house painted, new appliances, etc)? I remember our seller had a binder full of that type of information and what it was worth as well as the blueprints for the property (which have come in handy over the years!). It also has a surveyor's certificate for the property. Thank you for any input.

Hello there! I really enjoy your content. I’m in NY, and considering selling my coop apartment in a couple of years or so. Can you please dedicate a video on apartments regarding the process, and / or tips on selling? Do the same applies as if selling a house?

Audra, do you do this kind of video for condos and do you have any rusted and vetted network/colleague in Canada?

Hi Audra, I’m a realtor and love your videos including your beautiful and professional appearance however, the Constant laughing is a bit distraction so other than that you are a 10! Keep it up ❤

Hi Audra! There are two rooms I wanted to paint but my agent said not to bother. She also told me not to bother fixing my low water pressure and dishwasher but I'm doing it all anyway. Why would she tell me not to bother? I don't get it!

Every listing should have a professional home inspection report to go with it and be priced accordingly. The description you see on the listing is a joke and means nothing. The fact most realtors do not do this is why there is so much drama with real estate. They are trying to do everything they can to make the house look as good as they can while covering up the negatives to unethically raise the price. I inspect a home for a buyer while their agent walks behind me dumbing down all the problems as though everything costs a couple hundred bucks because they "know a guy" Give me a break. Realtors and the system they use is the problem and we all know it. Audra, how do you feel about this?

I have a question ?
What about the profit you get from the sale of the house needs to pay taxes on it ?

As soon as you go on the MLS in Florida you fill out the disclosures.

Thank you Audra! I am watching so much of you I feel like you are family!! Question: What can go wrong after all contingencies are removed?? Thank you!!!

Yes, I had to climb the ladder and replace batteries after the inspection.

Your videos are great! Thanks for all of the important information

Thank you for your video! I am in a Delma, I hope you could shed some light on it. I own a rental but not in a good location, been bringing good income only because I offer a lot like furniture, short term ,kitchens gadget, constant care. I am tired only because the income is not stable, and I want to sell it and buy a smaller one in a better location. I want to all that before the election. I know you said in other videos not to sell, but when I think about not having it I feel relieved

In NJ, up front dislosures are mandatory.

More people need an air filter at home. I have the Winix 5500-2 and it's a banger
