Step 10 in the Home-Selling Process: Closing Day – Handing Over the Keys

This week on the Jay Garvens Home & Mortgage Show, Jay is explaining “The Rhythm & The Cycle of the Home Selling Market.” Jay has proof of the best times of the year to buy... The post THE RHYTHM & THE CYCLE OF THE HOME SELLING MARKET – 9-20-25 appeared first on Jay Garvens.

Send us a textUnexpected challenges can reveal valuable lessons in real estate transactions. When one of our inspectors encountered a malfunctioning jetted tub that temporarily sprayed water onto nearby surfaces, what should have been a minor incident quickly escalated into something much more complicated.The heart of this story illustrates the vulnerability of For Sale By Owner sellers who lack professional representation. Despite our inspector promptly containing and drying the affected areas within minutes, the buyer's agent began pressuring the seller with exaggerated claims about damage—even suggesting water was dripping from exterior soffits (it was raining that day) and falsely claiming inspection panels had been removed. Without an agent to serve as a buffer, the seller faced direct harassment through calls and texts demanding concessions that violated their "information only, no remedy" agreement.We personally visited the property to conduct thermal imaging and moisture testing, confirming no damage had occurred, but the incident highlighted why professional representation matters in real estate transactions. A good agent protects sellers from unreasonable demands, understands and enforces contract terms, distinguishes between legitimate concerns and exaggerated claims, and provides critical advocacy throughout the process. While saving on commission fees might seem attractive initially, the protection an experienced agent provides often proves invaluable when complications arise.If you're considering selling your home, we strongly recommend speaking with a reputable home inspector about recommended agents in your area. Home inspectors interact with hundreds of agents annually and can identify those who maintain high ethical standards and truly advocate for their clients. Remember that proper representation ultimately protects everyone involved in the transaction, ensuring a smooth transfer of property built on honesty and professionalism.Support the showTo learn more about Habitation Investigation, the Three-time Winner of the Best Home Inspection Company in the Midwest Plus the Winner of Consumer Choice Award for Columbus Ohio visit Home Inspection Columbus Ohio - Habitation Investigation (homeinspectionsinohio.com) NBC4 news segments: The importance of home inspections, and what to look for | NBC4 WCMH-TV Advice from experts: Don't skip the home inspection | NBC4 WCMH-TV OSU student's mysterious symptoms end up tied to apartment's air quality | NBC4 WCMH-TV How to save money by winterizing your home | NBC4 WCMH-TV Continuing Education for Ohio Agents Scheduled classes Continuing Education for Ohio Agents Course lis...

Send us a textEver wonder what happens when the delicate dance between home buyers, sellers, and inspectors goes sideways? We dive into a revealing situation that unfolded during a recent inspection that perfectly illustrates the emotional complexities of real estate transactions.When a seller erupted in anger because our inspection ran just 15 minutes over schedule, it highlighted something crucial about the home selling process that often goes unacknowledged: the deep emotional connection sellers have with their homes. We explore how years of memories, life milestones, and personal circumstances create a fundamentally different perspective than buyers have – who've typically spent less than an hour in the property before making an offer.The confrontation took a surprising turn when our inspector simply explained why the extra time was needed: the buyers had questions because they were genuinely interested in purchasing the home. This single moment of clarity completely transformed the seller's attitude, shifting from antagonism to understanding in seconds. It's a powerful reminder that most buyer questions don't indicate criticism but confirm interest.We also address the growing challenge of difficult sellers, international buyers unfamiliar with American housing systems, and why patience during inspections actually helps close sales rather than hinders them. As one particularly poignant moment in our discussion reveals: "We're not here to rip your house apart – we're here to keep you from getting sued."Subscribe to our podcast for more behind-the-scenes insights into the fascinating world of home inspections and real estate transactions.

A significant part of the home buying process is the time allocated or afforded to the buyer to select an inspector (or inspectors) of their choice to come in an check out the home.  This independent impartial party and their findings and report are an integral part of the process for the buyers.  As of this recording both of the siblings, have active buyers who are just completing their inspections.  What better time to discuss: Why this is important and How it assists the buyers and their agents in determining to "Walk Away" because of major hidden defects or to negotaiate with the sellers for some items to be serviced and repaired. Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage.
