The Hoagland Group Launch Strategy

The Hoagland Group Listing Launch Strategy increases the odds of receiving multiple offers which not only drives up prices, it also incents buyers to include very attractive terms. Is this really necessary in this market? Yes! Without a Launch Strategy, there is a good chance sellers are leaving money on the table.

Building Your Dream Home on Acreage in Indiana

Several times every year, we talk with clients who are considering purchasing land and building a home.  Is this your dream?  To get out of the hustle and bustle of the city or suburbs and spread out on your own little piece of heaven? A few end up taking the plunge, but amazingly, most people end up purchasing an existing property or never making the move.  Why?  Because it’s more complicated, and usually more expensive than they thought.  Here is a list we put together for our clients to consider when looking at land.  We hope it’s helpful for you too!

Top Seller Question: Why do I have to pay property taxes when I sell my house??

Hand Holding Cash

“Why do I have to pay more property taxes when I sell my house?? I already paid them this year.” That’s a question that comes up with nearly EVERY property sale. The answer is both simple and complex. The simple answer? The majority of purchase agreements request taxes to be pro-rated to the date of closing (although in 2021’s seller market, this is starting to change). The complex answer requires understanding how Indiana bills property taxes.

What home SELLERS should know about… Inspections!

Very few people like to take tests. Tests are scary – particularly if you don’t know the topic. When selling your house, the biggest “test” (with the most unknowns) is the inspection. This is the point in a real estate transaction that our sellers stress about the most. What will they find? How much will it cost? Do we have the money to repair whatever it is? Will the buyer back out?

The Hoagland Group aims to provide a stress-free move. And we mean it! Below, we will equip you with answers to frequently asked questions, a short-list of the “usual suspects” (that you can easily check your home for now and correct), and the “Big 3” could be deal-breakers; plus, how a great real estate agent handles things for you. The inspection process does NOT have to be a test you are unprepared for.
