Bonus Step #31: After Recordation: Home Value, Vendors, Refinance & More 

After Recordation: Your realtor should always be there to answer questions or address any issues after closing. You should receive monthly market updates about your property so you know how the value of your property is changing. 

Many of our clients contact us when they need a good vendor such as a handyman, plumber, electrician, roofer, or flooring professional. We are always happy to refer a trusted vendor and if we do not have the professional you are looking for we can always ask other realtors in our office. 

Some common reasons our clients contact us other than above include: 

• Refinancing
• Adding an individual to title 
• Removing an individual to title 
• Marriage / Divorce 
• Having a Baby 
• Looking to Upgrade 
• Wanting to Downsize 
• Helping a family member buy a home 
• Tax Questions 
• Property Exemption Questions 
• Renovations

Our team sends out updates to our clients regarding the real estate market as well as the mortgage market. If you can save money by refinancing into a better interest rate or a more favorable loan program you will most likely hear from us in the future.

When the time comes to sell the property you purchased or purchase the next property we can go over the next steps to building your real estate portfolio.
