New Construction: If a walk-through inspection reveals a problem, but I choose to go through with closing anyway, can I retain a percentage of the down payment (or mortgage amount) - - not to be paid until the repairs are made?

Remodeling home...consult architect or interior designer first?

david5675 — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:23:57 GMT

I am planning on remodeling our very tiny galley kitchen and adjoining family room by expanding out about 8 feet. The problem is, neither one of us has an eye for what goes together. We both know what we like/don't like when we see it, but just aren't creative enough to coordinate things on our own.

So, are we better off getting an interior designer's perspective first, or hiring an architect? Are architects trained in any way to help people decide on things like what countertop color looks best with a particular cabinetry color? On the flip side, would an interior designer be aware of things like plumbing & electrical requirements/codes? This is the home we plan on staying in for at least the next 15 years, until our children finish school, so we'd like to make it very much "ours".

Can anyone help?

Are Referral Fees/Consultant Fees allowed in Australia?

Can anyone tell me if compensation is allowed for people who bring us buyers that purchase our luxury homes? In the US we are able to pay fees and have paid as much as $100k USD for a buyer referral.

We want to be sure that we abide by your laws and use proper documentation. If it is allowed there, can someone send me the agreement that is acceptable there? We have also established JV Partnerships with others in different countries so that we can work on many deals together.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
