Veterans can take advantage of several programs and benefits to help them buy a home. These programs are primarily offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in the United States. Here are some key ways veterans can benefit from these programs:

• No Down Payment or Mortgage Insurance: One of the significant benefits of VA loans is that they do not require a down payment, and Veterans do not pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI). This can save veterans a substantial amount of money upfront.
• Competitive Interest Rates: VA loans offer competitive interest rates, which can result in lower monthly mortgage payments.
• Flexible Credit Requirements: VA loans tend to have more flexible credit requirements compared to conventional loans, making it easier for veterans with less-than-perfect credit to qualify.

The short answer: if the buyer requests it - yes! ⁣
⁣
Here’s why:⁣ a home warranty protects the buyer from unexpected repairs and replacements for a year after closing. Buying a home can be stressful so any added layer of protection you can provide will always be warmly received.⁣

Here’s a quick list of how to be 'as cool as a cucumber' when viewing homes that make your short-list: ⁣
⁣
1. Before a showing, read over your wants vs. needs list and revisit your budget. Having this fresh on your mind will help you stay objective and focused.⁣
2. Take pictures and videos to jog your memory later and to help you process with friends and family.⁣
3. Remember, you can’t change the lot or the location so make sure you love both.
4. Don't let yourself get distracted by decor or staging. These things will be gone by the time you move in, so try to stay focused on the things that cannot be changed as easily.⁣
5. Take your time. If a home makes a good first impression, let us know you’re interested and that you’d like to spend a bit more time looking around! This is one of the largest purchases you’ll ever make so it’s worth it to learn as much as you can while you’re there. ⁣

According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors), around 37% of contracts fall through because of repair issues sellers could have addressed before listing their property. ⁣
⁣
This alone shows that while your home doesn’t have to be perfectly flawless, you should invest time and money to get it in working order. Here are a few must-fix items:
⁣
• Faulty wiring⁣
• Grading and drainage issues⁣
• Roof leaks and shingle problems⁣
• Foundation issues⁣
• Heating and air-conditioning problems⁣
• Plumbing and septic issues⁣
⁣

Chances are you’ll recoup some or all of the cost you put in when you sell.⁣ When in doubt, just ask us when we meet with you.
