The plumbing is one of your home's most mysterious systems. The pipes are hidden in the wall, and when you have a problem, you have to call in a plumber. Since plumbers' rates are hefty, prospective buyers are often frightened away by evidence of leaky pipes, ceiling stains below shower pans, or antiquated bathroom fixtures.

If you are planning to sell your home, it is a good idea to solve your plumbing issues before you place it on the market. Take care of any cosmetic damage that leaks may have caused after the plumber has finished his work. Plumbing repairs are cost-effective, because most sales agreements call for all systems, including the plumbing, to be in working order. If you have a problem, you will probably have to repair it before the closing anyway, so by doing it ahead of time, you eliminate that issue. Plumbing that is in top condition will make your home appear to be well cared for and will make it more attractive to potential buyers.

Outer Banks Real Estate - The Most Important Tip You Need to Know Before Buying Property on the Outer Banks

The most important decision you must make before purchasing Outer Banks real estate is selecting the agent you will work with. Choosing the right agent will save you time and money; choosing the wrong one may cost you both.

More than 70% of real estate buyers deal with the first agent they speak with. Don't make this costly mistake!

Research has shown that many people spend more money on their second home or investment property than they do on their primary residence. This means that your Outer Banks real estate purchase may well be the most valuable financial decision of your lives.

With so much at stake, it's important that you secure the best possible agent to represent your interests.

Why would you settle for less than the very best?

When selecting the right Outer Banks real estate agent for your needs, consider these tips:

1. Is your agent a member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing?

Members have received extensive training in handling exceptional properties in the upper tier market.

Whether or not you are considering a home in the million dollar range, shouldn't you choose an agent who has received the highest level of training?

I am a proud member of the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing. Only 4 other agents in the entire Outer Banks real estate market (936 agents strong) can make this claim.

2. Has your agent received the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation?

Unlike many other designations, this one is performance-based, which means that the agent has achieved a solid track record of sales in the upper 10% of their market.

I have earned the coveted CLHMS designation, and only 2 other agents on the Outer Banks have received theirs.

3. Has your agent been recognized as a Million Dollar Guild member?

Million Dollar Guild status is accepted by real estate consumers the world over as the industry's elite. Success in the million dollar and above arena has been demonstrated and certified.

Simply put, it doesn't get better than this.

My strong performance in the luxury home tier has earned me membership in the exclusive Million Dollar Guild club.

Now that you realize that not all agents are alike, shouldn't you be calling the very best agent to assist you?
