Here’s what’s lurking behind most deals:

Agent Fees — Often rolled into closing costs, but negotiable if you know the real value.

Home Inspections — One inspection is rarely enough; follow-ups or specialist reports (plumbing, electrical, foundation) add hundreds or thousands more.

Something to Think About: The average cost for a standard home inspection in the US typically ranges from $300 to $500. However, the final price can fluctuate based on several factors, including the home's size, age, location, and the specific types of inspections required.


Homeowners Insurance — Your closing costs can skyrocket depending on the policy and property risk factors.
Undisclosed Repairs — Sellers should disclose, but they don’t always. Missed repairs mean surprise costs after move-in.

properTrater membership gives you access to:

✔️ Member-shared inspection reports and updates — so you know what’s been fixed and what hasn’t.
✔️ Transparent reviews on agents, sellers, and photographers — cutting through the marketing fluff.
✔️ Verified property issues and suggested remedies — giving you the leverage to negotiate fees, costs, and deal terms with confidence.

Why Membership at properTrater.com Is Your Smartest Move...Yet.

Buying a home is so much more than just the down payment — it’s a maze of hidden costs that can quietly drain your budget if you’re not prepared.

When you join properTrater, you arm yourself with the information that gives you real negotiating power and protects your hard-earned money.
