5. Thoroughly Investigate Issues Of Concern.
There are many other tests and studies Buyers can do in deciding whether to purchase a property. These include, for example, a radon test to determine if the home has elevated levels of radon, mold tests to determine if the property has high levels of certain kinds of dangerous mold, tests for lead based paint (normally only a concern with properties built prior to 1978, when the use of lead based paint was outlawed.), well water tests when the property is served by well water and septic systems inspections when the property is served by septic system.
Many factors can affect the value of a property and the ability of an owner to use and enjoy it. These include, for example, the school district in which the property is located, whether the property is subject to flooding, the availability and cost of property insurance, whether the property is subject to recorded covenants and the nature of those covenants, the governmental jurisdiction in which the property is located and whether the property is on a historic registry or in a special tax or zoning district. Before buying a home, buyers are encouraged to use reasonable diligence to investigate the properties they are buying for issues of special concern to them.

4. Have The Home Inspected For Termites And Other Wood Destroying Organisms
Termite damage to homes in North Georgia is very common. Before buying a home, buyers are therefore encouraged to have their homes inspected for evidence of termites and other wood destroying organisms. In Georgia, this inspection can only be performed by a Licensed Georgia Pest Control Operator. The results of the inspection should be contained in an official Georgia Wood Infestation Report, which among other things identifies areas in the house where there is evidence of both past and present infestation from termites and other wood destroying organisms.

Transform Your Home For Spring And Set The Stage!
I am very glad to bring back friend and colleague Tonia Mosteller with Redesign + More. Tonia is going to tell us a little about getting your home ready this Spring to sell. Now more than ever it is imperative that if your home is on the market, especially here in the North Georgia Mountains, that it be ready to show at ALL times. Let’s face it, if your home is not in a Pricing War, then chances are it is most definitely in a Beauty Pageant. So sick back right there in your rocking chair and welcome Tonia to “The Porch” for some great Springtime Home Staging Advice to help your home looks it’s Best!
Springtime brings lots of sunshine, warmer weather, May showers and plenty of opportunities for home staging. Make the most of this season and prepare you home for sale. Use these fresh updates that are sure to attract potential buyers to your home.
Create Curb Appeal
You have an open window when you’re selling in the spring; you need to get your yard in shape as quickly as possible to take advantage of the fresh and sunny spring days. Clear winter yard debris, and get frost-resistant plants that won’t be affected if a late cold spells and make sure they work in your planting zone. Harmonize with your home’s surroundings such as your landscape and other homes in your neighborhood. Coordinate your exterior paint colors with your home’s existing features-roof shingles, stone or brick. Remember your home’s appeal starts at the curb! Create an unforgettable first impression.
Bring The Outdoors In
Spring is a beautiful and colorful season but it is also a fragrant one too. Bring the amazing aroma indoors and add them to your rooms. Scents have a profound effect on mood, so infusing scent into your decor with diffusers, candles, fresh cut plants/flowers, or incense can change the overall feeling of a space and not to mention the natural beauty you have added to your space. Plus, most of the time it doesn’t cost you a thing, unless you make a trip to your nursery or local Farmer’s Market.
