Get Pre-Approved
The first step of buying your property is to figure out how much house you can comfortably afford. Work with your preferred lender or ask us for a recommendation, as we have working partnerships with reputable local loan officers who can assist you in getting your pre-approval letter.

Start With a Showing
Now that you have your pre-approval letter, we’ll show you all of the newest listings online so you can select your favorites and fine tune your preferences. Then, we will arrange to visit the homes you select, together and in-person, to find the right home for you.

Make an Offer
Once you’ve narrowed down your list and have a clear favorite, collaborate with us to make an offer on a home. This entails negotiating your preferred terms, and specifying the terms of the sale.

Schedule Home Inspection
As soon your offer is accepted, our first step is to schedule your home inspection. You or your agent can be present for this inspection. Costs range from $250-1000 depending on the size of your property and scope of work.

Meet Contract Deadlines
When your offer is accepted, you have three days to pay the Earnest Money Deposit. After that, the clock is ticking, and your Hardin Realty agent will keep you informed so you’re equipped with all of the information you need to make smart decisions.

Close Escrow
As the buyer, you’ll typically choose the title company for your title search and the closing (your Hardin Realty agent can recommend reliable title companies). As soon as you close, title and monies will be transferred appropriately in accordance with the escrow instructions.

YES. “1031 Exchange” means exchanging “like kind” investment properties. We can list your property for sale, secure a buyer, and assist you in identifying a replacement property, working with your Qualified Intermediary to ensure compliance with IRS section 1031.

When executing a 1031 Exchange, it is important to involve your lawyer and your CPA, as well as a designated “Qualified Intermediary,” or QI. There are many professional organizations which offer QI services, including some banks such as Wells Fargo.

Your CPA, attorney, real estate broker, family members, and other business partners are prohibited from acting as your Qualified Intermediary. However, almost anybody can technically act as your QI, although it is important to use a provider you can trust who is familiar with the myriad compliance items and timelines involved in 1031 Exchange scenarios.

Maintenance is a constant concern when managing rental properties. Our tenants expect all utilities, appliances, and amenities to work properly at all times. At Hardin Realty & Property Management, we believe in preventative maintenance to stop breakage incidents before they occur.

QUARTERLY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

• Air Filters Changed
• Test HVAC

•  Kitchen and Bath Appliance Inspection

Our preventative maintenance program is designed to protect your expensive HVAC hardware, avoid safety violations, and keep your property looking its best at all times. Expect a $100 charge for each service. Owners can opt-out at any time.

See our fee schedule for more information about maintenance fees.

YES! You can also track progress by unit in your owners’ portal, with full visibility into preventative maintenance, repairs, and document management. As a real estate brokerage, we take our obligations as a fiduciary very seriously, always keeping your money safe in trust.

Everybody’s accounting systems are different. Some clients prefer an entirely hands-off asset management experience, wherein Hardin pays all utility, tax, and mortgage payments on the owner’s behalf. Others prefer to use our tenant management services, but handle accounting on their owner.

No matter your preferred method, we are here to provide a seamless experience, and we provide a variety of financial reports for you and your CPA or bookkeeper.
