PHOENIX, ARIZ (PRWEB) DECEMBER 15, 2015 The Arizona Association of REALTORS® (AAR) today released the top frequently asked real estate questions of 2015. With an ever-changing real estate landscape, property transactions can be complicated and, as top industry experts, Arizona REALTORS® are uniquely equipped to address consumer questions. To act as a resource for those looking to buy or sell a home, the organization compiled a list of some of the most commonly asked types of questions, and answered them. “Buying and selling a home is one of the biggest and most expensive decisions someone can make,” said Paula Serven, 2016 AAR President. “It can be a technical and oftentimes confusing process, especially now with new mortgage rules. As REALTORS®, we are committed to giving back to our community and it is our job to help people feel comfortable and confident as they enter the home buying and selling journey.” Questions range from how to prepare a home for sale to lease contracts and pricing. A sample of the Q&A has been provided below and the full list can be found on aaronline.com in the blog section. Q: As a first-time home buyer, where do I start? A: First, get pre-qualified with a lender. If you don’t have a lender, ask a REALTOR® for referrals. To find a REALTOR®, look at for-sale signs in the neighborhood you want to move into, ask your friends or family and try the FIND A REALTOR® tool on AARonline.com. Q: I’ve found water damage since buying my home – including in a weight-bearing wall less than a week ago. What can I do? A: Pull your inspection report and ask the inspector to review it with you, then call your REALTOR® to voice your concerns as well. Q: I’m thinking about buying a condo soon because rents are rising. What should I be aware of, what are my first steps and who pays my REALTOR®? A: Contact a lender and a REALTOR®, and be sure to review any home owner’s association governing documents before completing your purchase. As far as a typical buyer-broker agreement, the seller pays a commission to their own agent, and the seller’s REALTOR® pays a commission to the buyer’s REALTOR®.
