The good news is that as a buyer, you are not obligated to pay your real estate sales representative a fee. Rather, the seller is required to cover the associated costs of selling their property. However, some costs you may need to consider are land transfer tax, property inspection, legal fees and disbursements, closing adjustments, home, and property insurance, moving expenses, and connection charges for gas, electrical, and water. In addition to these costs, you may need to budget for any repairs that may be needed upon obtaining possession of the property which can be agreed upon before sale.

What is a good number of homes to tour prior to making an offer?
Yourmove.ge believes the best answer is “as many as it takes to find a home that works for you”. Purchasing a home will most likely be the single largest investment you will make, so it is important to make sure you find a home that meets your current and future needs. It’s best not to look at just one home, but also not to look at more than 6 or 7 in one day. It’s common to confuse the features if you view too many in one day. With all the properties listed on our portal, you can also enjoy the benefit of viewing several properties at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Square footage includes finished, heated space, also known as “livable space”. Garages, unfinished basements, and attics, for example, are not included when calculating a home’s square footage. Hallways and closets are included when determining a home’s square footage.
