Buyers Information From Cynger At The Lakes

Thank you for selecting us to assist you in your search for property in the Upstate area. We appreciate the opportunity!

The buying process can be overwhelming – there are so many properties available! The more you can tell me about what you want (and don’t want), the better we can hone in on great prospects for you to see. Make me a “wish list” – let us know what you would buy if you could have it all!

We will show you appropriate listings in your specified price range. Occasionally, we will include listings that are priced slightly higher or slightly lower if I think that the property is what you are looking for. We will also include listings from our MLS, and never restrict showings to only homes listed exclusively with my own office.

With so many agents available to serve you in the area, choose yours carefully. Your agent is your link to a smooth transaction.  In the state of South Carolina, real estate agents must work for either the seller or the buyer. We will supply you with the Consumer Information brochure, outlining your options in agency representation. Until you hire us to work for you, please note that by law,  we are working for the seller.

We are here to educate you. We want you to make an informed decision about your investment. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. If we don’t know the answer, we will find it for you. We will be giving you an information packet that will make the buying process a little easier. If you need additional information, just ask!

We know that purchasing a home or lot is a big step at any price level. We are committed to helping you make a great choice!

Home Inspection

As a prospective home buyer, are you sophisticated in identifying problem areas in your new home? Most of us are not knowledgeable in identifying potential problem areas. You are in the process of making a very large investment, maybe the largest investment you’ll ever make. For just a small investment now, you may save substantial money in the future. Can you afford NOT to have a professional home inspector survey the premises for the integrity of the internal and external components of the dwelling?

Here are a few areas that are examined by home inspectors:

Structural: Many home inspection organizations have set standards on certain areas of the home that the individual
inspector looks at to determine the integrity of the essential internal and external structural components. Home
inspectors are not structural engineers but can identify visual defects in these areas that require immediate repair or
may warrant future attention.

Electrical: Do all the outlets work? Does the home use fuses or is there a breaker box? Are there any visible
signs of fraying on the wiring?

Plumbing: Are there any leaks or drips? Are all the mechanical systems & fixtures working properly?

Built-In Appliances: Are they functioning properly?

Safety Hazards: Home inspectors are not environmental specialists, but they can identify many safety hazards or
dangerous conditions.

Miscellaneous: Other items may or may not be included in a standard home inspection. Some of these may be: septic systems,
roofs, drainage problems, wood decks, patios or other exterior structures. Be sure and verify which, if any, of these items are
included in your home inspection.

Normally Not Included: Termite (or other pest), geological or land subsidence surveys and environmental or pollution inspections which should be completed separately for your own protection.

Home inspectors provide a unique customer service in identifying existing problems, should there be any, and assisting in promoting and facilitating communication with the home seller. There are many home inspection companies to choose from. Please refer to the “Preferred Provider List” or consult the local phone directory to find an inspector.

WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL BUYERS OBTAIN A GENERAL HOME INSPECTION AS WELL AS SURVEYS AND INSPECTIONS IN SPECIALIZED AREAS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE GENERAL HOME INSPECTION.
