buyer tips: Time is of the Essence. Yes, that means something. - 08/11/10 10:40 PM
Erica Ramus, Broker/Owner in Portsmouth, Va. says a mouthful in just a few concise paragraphs.
We, the real estate agents, are the professionals and, as such, the onus is upon us to keep the real estate transaction running smoothly. Erica uses a calendar system to keep on top of dates and times. I do this as well and I email my buyers their own personlized time-line so that we are partners in the entire process.

buyer tips: He Who Hesitates... - 11/01/08 12:22 AM
...loses the bid and loses the property.

buyer tips: Buyer Tip: Let's Get It Straight - They're Not All Created Equal(ly)! - 04/20/07 11:23 PM
A Home Warranty is different from Homeowners' insurance.
While a Home Warranty provides coverage for items in a home that routinely need servicing (for example, air conditioning, ductwork, plumbing, appliances) -- Homeowners' Insurance provides coverage in the event of damage to a home (for example, fire damage).
Many sellers provide a Home Warranty for their buyers. In the event that your seller doesn't, I'd recommend that you buy one yourself. It's worth the extra few hundred spent at closing to have some peace of mind. If your air conditioning breaks down in mid August, it won't break you to pay … (0 comments)
