House and lot for sale in Batangas


House and lot for sale in Batangas like those offering by Suntrust Properties will never run out for sure. As long as tourism is booming in the place, non-natives will not only be visitors but they may be interested to live there as well. However, buying a house is not as easy as window shopping. You try on a suit, twirl in front of a mirror, and go to the cashier. It is a painstaking process that needs a lot of patience, keen eye for details and a lot (not just enough) of money. If you’re a meticulous buyer, you’re more than willing to hire professional help no matter how money-ripping it is.


To get your dream house you must first have your own dream team – the Real Estate team. Here is the basic list of who should be in it:


1. Real estate agent

An agent acts as a middleman between you and the seller. They will do the house shopping for you, negotiate the price with the seller and be with you until you close the deal.


2. General contractor

Realestate.about.com says they are “an excellent resource for estimates of what work will cost before you buy a property.” This is to weigh if the renovation cost is more expensive than the mortgage you have to pay.


3. Home inspector

They are called the “fault-finders” for a good cause and for your own good. Home inspectors assess the overall condition of the house. They have a knack for spotting even the faults hidden by the owner and could sniff out a house “staging.”


4. Real estate attorney

Legal matters should be least of your problems once you let a real estate attorney take care of it. He can explain to you what is in the fine print or contract and can fire the right questions to the seller.


5. Mortgage broker

A buyer must be super rich to buy an entire house and lot for sale in Batangas in cash. On the other hand, a broker could help you find the right lender that is suitable for you.


6. Real Estate Accountant

What are the taxes you need to deal with? These are documentary stamps tax, transfer tax, registration fee, and realty taxes. Do you want to take off a big load on your shoulders? Let a real estate accountant handle the job.


7. Appraiser

The role of an appraiser is to give you an accurate valuation of a property, says creonline.com. They could peel off the smokescreen over a ridiculously priced house.


8. Insurance agent

Purchasing a homeowner’s insurance assures your lender that you could really pay your mortgage. An insurance agent could lend a helping hand in fulfilling this task.


Real estate business is a tricky business. Once you’re in the negotiating table, you must have an arsenal of experts who will offer their sound judgment over the matter.

Of course, it should be really a dream team and not a bunch of “professionals”. The fact that you’re fastidious in buying a house, same rules apply when searching for individuals who deserves to be in your team. According to tradingacademy.com, these are the key traits you should look for like:


  • Having a good reputation in their field
  • Having a positive attitude
  • Sharing core values
  • Being a problem solver


Another trait you must add is being a good listener – scratch that – a great listener. Now, go ahead, create your dream team first before entering the buying scene.
