Todays Featured Listing


I love Daylight Savings Time - but the first Monday of DST is really hard! Getting up an hour earlier is not for me. Really, I have to admit that I do not do mornings well and today especially its hard to get the cobwebs out of my brain. There just doesn't seem to be enough coffee. I can't do those energy drinks either.
So I figured the best thing to do was to blog - haha!

Alrightly then, with that in mind...    Here are a few tips for Home Buyers...
1. Get Pre-approved for your mortgage financing.
This lets you know how much home you can comfortably afford as well as how much of a down-payment you will need, what your mothly payments will be. When you find that perfect property, you will be in a good position to act.
2. Determine what area you want to live in.
Look for areas with good schools and amenities you value. Remember Location, Location, Location.
3. Select an Agent
Preferrably one who is familiar with that area and also one who you are comfortable with. You need an agent who listens to you and who shares the vision of the home you want. You also want an agent who is readily available to you as well as experienced.
4. Negotiate a price on the home.
This starts by knowing what homes are going for in that area. Dont get too emotionally attached and overbid on a property. Your agent can help you with this but it's a good idea to do some homework of your own too.
5. Get a Home Inspection.
This is so important. Don't assume that the house is in good shape because it looks new and shiny. Paint can coverup a lot of flaws. A Home inspection will cover areas that you can not see, such as crawl spaces and attics. A qualified home inspector can let you know the overall condition of the home.
