It's no surprise how fierce the competition is right now in many communities across Northeast Ohio. I am always pleased when I show a home and the comments read "new furnace"08, new windows '06, etc...". Call it years of experience or skepticism based on years of experience, I don't believe it til I see the invoices. I have found more than once that the MLS information provided by the agent does not match the invoice once we receive a copy.
This generally does not sit well with buyers, making them feel as though they have been misled. But I don't think that's the intention of most sellers. Time flies quickly and what may seem like 2 years is actually 4. The best thing sellers can do is to make copies of all the invoices and give them to your agent. He or she can scan them and keep an electronic folder which can be made available should the buyer's agent request it.
Be sure to black out all personal information on the invoice, in particular, a credit card number. In some cases the invoices can even be uploaded to the MLS, making it super easy for the selling agent to access the information.
It may seem like a small thing but, trust me, the sooner I can get my hands on the information that is pertinent to my client, the sooner I can write an offer on your home.
