Is A Fixer-Upper Right For You?, by Clyde Brown, Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose Real Estate Expert

There are many reasons to consider purchasing a fixer-upper in the Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose area, according to real estate expert, Clyde Brown of Legacy Real Estate & Associates.  Sometimes buying and rehabbing a property is the only way a buyer can afford to become a homeowner.  In other cases purchasing a fixer-upper allows the buyer to purchase in a neighborhood they otherwise would not be able to afford.  However, rehabbing a property is not for everyone.

Clyde Brown advises buyers to be realistic.  There are many factors to consider with regard to the fixer-upper.  Will you be living in the house during the renovation?  If so, imagine how you will function without a working kitchen for several months.  If living with a hot plate, microwave, and bathroom sink are something you can deal with in order to achieve the end result, then a fixer-upper may be right for you.  There are many great fixer-uppers on the market in the Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose area - check out http://www.ClydeBrownHomes.com for more information.  I would be happy to discuss your real estate needs with you.  I can be reached at 510-371-4237 or email at Clyde@ClydeBrownHomes.com.

Before committing to any rehab project try and get a clear picture of what the total project is going to entail before you begin.  Chances are there will be surprises along the way.  Be sure to build this into the budget from the beginning!  Surprises cost both time and money.  Be prepared.  Being realistic will help your project run smoothly.

Working with a professional real estate agent can give you an advantage.  It is the job of the professional real estate agent and broker to know the area market and trends.  Use this to your advantage.  Additionally, check with zoning regulations and if you are considering purchasing in a historic district check for any requirements before you purchase and begin your fixer-upper project.  Work with an experienced real estate professional in the Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose area to make the most out of your project.
