Thinking about an acreage or edge-of-town home in Central Iowa? Here are 5 things I check early.

- Septic: ask age, inspection history, and likely repair timing.
- Well: review water test results, flow rate, and service history.
- Propane: confirm tank ownership and typical winter cost.
- Easements: know who can access the property and where use is limited.
- Road maintenance: ask who plows, who pays, and what happens after snow.

If you're weighing one of these homes, I can help you sort through the questions before they turn expensive.

Most first-time buyers plan for the down payment and forget the rest.

• Lender fees cover the loan setup and underwriting.
• Title and closing fees cover title work and settlement.
• Prepaid taxes and homeowners insurance are often collected up front.
• Prepaid interest covers the days between closing and your first payment.

Inspection, appraisal, and earnest money can affect cash timing too.

After more than 1,900 transactions, I’ve seen this surprise buyers.

If you want, I can help you estimate the full number before you start touring.

If you're comparing offers, these four details matter just as much as price.

- Conventional: Check down payment, closing cost asks, and whether the buyer can cover a low appraisal.
- FHA: Look at condition, possible repair expectations, and how much room the buyer has if value comes in short.
- VA: Compare timing, appraisal details, and who is paying which fees.
- Across all three: cash on hand and responsive communication matter.

If you're selling in Central Iowa, I can help you weigh the whole offer, not just the top line.
