What is the ten-day lead inspection period, and can a buyer waive it?
A federal disclosure rule gives a buyer of a home built before 1978 ten days to conduct a lead-based paint inspection or risk assessment before becoming bound to the purchase, since older homes may contain lead paint that later renovation or damage can expose. A buyer can waive that period, but only through a separate written agreement, not by simply skipping it. Joel Boss flags this period for buyers considering any older home across his coverage area.
Should I renovate before selling to get more money?
Renovating before a sale pays off only when the cost of the project is lower than the value it adds for buyers in that specific price band, which varies by neighborhood and by what buyers in that pocket actually prioritize. Cosmetic work like paint, flooring and decluttering tends to return more than major structural upgrades right before a listing. Joel Boss walks sellers through which projects are worth doing and which ones a buyer would rather handle themselves at a lower price.
How long do Alpharetta renovation permits actually take?
Renovation permit timelines in Alpharetta vary with the scope of the work and current volume at the Fulton County or city building department, so no single number of weeks fits every project. A straightforward interior renovation typically clears faster than one involving structural changes or new square footage. Checking current turnaround directly with the permitting office before committing to a contractor's schedule avoids planning around outdated information. Ask Joel for the right department contact to get today's actual estimate.
