There is a Christian music radio station that I love to listen to called 95.5 the Fish. One of their promises is that you will never hear objectionable music on their station and it's true.
Lately one of my favorites is called "A More Beautiful You" by Jonny Diaz. In a day and age when teen boys and girls care so much about looks and getting the guy or girl, this is such a refreshing change.
Listen carefully to the words..they are so meaningful. Enjoy.
Trust. It is such a powerful word. Merriam Webster defines it as such: 1 a: to place confidence :depend<trust in God><trust to luck>b: to be confident :hope
I think I speak for all agents when I say that it is our hope that you will be able to trust us to help you buy a home. We would also like to know that you can trust your lender, title rep, and home inspector. In short, everyone involved in the transaction.
But do not forget to trust yourself.
If your lender qualifies you for a loan of $200K, should you borrow that much? Only YOU can decide that. Based on recent events, perhaps as a buyer, you should ask more questions, really examine your comfort level (or lack thereof) with the monthly payment. If the little voice in your head is telling you it's too much, LISTEN to that voice. It's a good idea to spend a little less than the max. Then you can enjoy a dinner out or a vacation once a year.
If you have a home inspection that does not go well, (I'm talking major issues here) by all means, try to resolve it, but if the voice in your head is telling you to walk away, then do it, provided you have provisions in your contract to do so.
If an agent is trying to CONVINCE you to buy a home, ask yourself why? If an agent is not showing you homes in the areas you like and in a price range that is right for you, find a new agent. No one should be convincing you to buy a home or anything else.
Do you remember your Mom saying "I Don't care what so and so does. If they told you to jump off a cliff would you??
The above is what a lot of parents said to their kids when they thought their kids were being, shall we say, improperly influenced by a friend. My Mom's twist was a little different. She used to say, "I don't care what so and so does or says, I only care about what YOU do or say."
When I was a teen my Dad used to add, "I trust you, it's all the boys I don't trust":)
It would be nice to trust every person we ever met but sadly, we can't because it isn't realistic.
There is one person you can trust and that IS and should be YOURSELF, especially when it comes to one of the largest purchases of your lifetime. Listen to the voice in your head. It's there for a reason.
Some people hate to grocery shop but I don't mind it at all. In fact I have been so busy listing and selling that I barely have time to shop. My daughter attested to this during the summer by asking me "Mom, are you ever going to go grocery shopping again?"
The reason I don't mind grocery shopping is because of a wonderful store called Heinen's. It's located at 8383 Chippewa Rd in Brecksville, right around the corner from my office at ReMax Trinity.
The produce is fresh and often locally grown, the meat and seafood are fresh and reasonably priced, the bakery...well what can you say about a bakery...and great weekly specials.
But here is what impresses me the most. When you ask someone where an item is located, they walk you to the item! With a smile.
And that's another nice thing about Heinen's. Everyone greets you with a smile. When you get to the checkout, if you have an item that might leak, a rubber band goes around the container to prevent that. And then of course, there is the parcel pick up. Take a number and pull your car up so that your groceries can be placed in your trunk or back seat! Fantastic during the winter months!
If you have not shopped at Heinen's, make it a point to go there. You will enjoy the experience.
Below is a chart from NAR's website detailing the differences in the credits.
So if you have been waiting to buy because of the possible extension, IT'S TIME TO GET BACK IN THE GAME!
Be sure though, that buying a home is the right decision for you. As always, speak with an attorney or certified public accountant if you have any questions.

The other day I was thinking about how quickly Christmas will be upon us. I started reminiscing about last year and the lovely gift my daughter Erin gave me, with the help of her aunt. (my sister Helen.)
Erin was complaining that I was getting forgetful....or that I couldn't remember the important stuff...what the heck, she told me that I suffer from
C.R.S
So to help me remember how much I forget she gave me this lovely mug.
And now everyday I can REMEMBER how much I forget!
I am sure my daughter and sister would be happy to share with you where they found such a treasure, so that you too, can enjoy it like I do. Maybe you'd like more than one so you could, you know, give it as a gift too!
Below is a screen shot of one of the best ways to search for homes in all the areas you like if you will soon be a new home buyer and also a great way to stay in touch with the market if you will soon be a home seller.The records come directly from the MLS, offering our best efforts at timely and accurate information!
Through the Multiple Listing Service, you can sign up for the Client Portal and it costs you nothing. All you need to do is call me or send me an e-mail with your requirements i.e., number of bedrooms and baths, garage, basement, subdivision etc.. and I will create a search that is specifically for you. Every time a listing meets your criteria, including homes that are reduced into your price range, you will receive an e-mail. You can view them at your leisure, discard the ones in which you are not interested and save the ones you like. And if you change your mind on one of your parameters? No problem, just send me an e-mail with what you would like to change and I'll take care of it.
It's that easy!
Call me or e-mail me today and you can soon receive listings that meet you criteria, and you can cancel at any time.
