Tools Everyone Buying a Home Should Be Using

February 25, 2016 by Nick & Cindy Davis

As you have heard so many times before. There’s an APP for that. What we would like to share with you are some essential tools that are available to you when you are buying a home. All these APPS, sites are totally free and we have utilized them and can say that they are worth having in your tool box when you start the process of buying your new home.

Tools to Assist you in Your Home Purchase

Mobile APP: 

Want to stay up to date with homes that are on the market? Try our mobile application: getmobile.remax.com/nick.davis The APP is available for all smart phones, Ipad and Tablets, once you download the APP Nick & Cindy Davis’s Agent Key is: nick.davis

Tools for buying a homeProbably the best feature about this APP is that it will show you all the different statuses of the homes. You will be able to know whether the home is Active on the Market for Sale. Under Contract to be Sold or not even on the market at all. You will be able to Find Nearby Homes for Sale, complete very detailed search by adding filters to find your perfect home. Save favorite listings and Share your favorite homes with us, request to schedule showings.  Get directions to the home. This will make your home buying experience the way it is supposed to be. We will be working with you and for you throughout the entire time you are looking to find your new home.

HomeSnap

Take a photo find out about the house! Nick & Cindy Davis have set up HomeSnap just for you. We love the technology that is here for our clients! We just were in a neighborhood and tried it out. It is pretty cool and it’s free. https://www.homesnap.com/Nick-Davis

homesnap

As you can imagine this is definitely one of the tools that you will want to have at your disposal. You will be able to see all the details about the home like last sale price, all the pertinent details about the home, which schools your kids would be attending if you made the house your new home. You can send us messages and we can then go to work and schedule a showing, do a market analysis to assist you in making an offer that the owner will accept.

Home Disclosure

This a relatively newer site. It is a little scary what you can find out while using the site. You can sign up for free. Complete your searches and save reports. They will stay in your portal for a set time frame.

Tools for buying a home

Home Disclosure was created to empower real estate consumers with critical information they can’t find anywhere else in one place, and some of which is only disclosed to buyers at the closing table — if it’s disclosed at all. In each property report, Home Disclosure provides more than 40 categories of real estate data, along with hyper-local neighborhood and environmental data impacting the health, safety and financial security of the homeowner or renter.  https://www.homedisclosure.com/

“There is no other property report — let alone property listing website — that will identify nearby registered sex offenders and drug labs, while also giving potential home buyers comprehensive loan history and financial details such as the current equity position on each property,” said Rob Barber, CEO of RealtyTrac. “We’re able to provide this unique combination of property due-diligence data to consumers thanks to RealtyTrac’s nationwide footprint of publicly recorded real estate data along with the neighborhood and environmental data we gather through our subsidiary Homefacts.

Is My House in a Flood Zone?

 

Fema Website answers this simple question, and a lot more! With a database covering over 100 million US residential addresses, the FEMA website is a great source of valuable information: Search for your address to instantly see your home’s current flood risk level. You can use FEMA Website if you are looking to move into a new area, renting, selling or buying a residential property, or to find out if your home’s flood status has changed since purchasing. To begin, simply type your address, city, state and (optionally) the zip code below. When complete, press the Search button to view your flood risk status.
 
RE/MAX Rewards Program
realty-rewards-logo_large
HOW IT WORKS RE/MAX REWARDS is an online shopping portal that gives you access to local and national discounts at online retailers and in-store offers. This is a service that Nick & Cindy Davis will invite you to have in your tool bag after you close on your new home. You can choose from an exclusive offering of deals for local restaurants, spas, family activities and much more. IT’S SIMPLE: The more you shop, the more rewards you get. Many purchases made via RE/MAX REWARDS earn you WOWPoints, which can be exchanged for cash, donated to charity or used for other purchases. It’s a win-win! We know we said that the tools would just be beneficial while you were going through the home purchasing process. This is just a perk for you are valued client! Hopefully all the tools provided will be useful to you. This is just a small part of the service that Nick & Cindy Davis provide for all their clients. We look forward to assisting you in purchasing your new home.
