Saving Home Energy Dollars - 11/26/08 03:19 PM
It seems our fall weather is already a bit colder than last year and the heating bills have already started to go up. Many of us had hoped for a break of a month or two before winter heating bills hit our mail box but this year it appears it won't happen.
The question becomes, "Is there anything we can do to help ourselves with energy savings?" The answer is, "Yes" and in fact, a while back, I stumbled across this article that takes about two minutes to read. I've been preparing my house in much the same ways recommended by … (0 comments)

Think About This Before Signing To Purchase Your Next House - 11/18/08 08:34 AM
There are many reasons why some homes listed "For Sale" remain on the market longer than others. Sometimes it can be a busy road and that often means noise that penetrates thru doors and walls. Other times it can be property that is too close to industrial businesses; perhaps the builder has had a poor reputation; maybe it's the zoning or there have been issues with the house that are quite well publicized. Other times it can be the house was totally beat up by the previous owners before it went back to the bank and on the market. These reasons … (0 comments)

Thru the years, I've watched as some people have taken dramatic steps to repair their credit and do so quickly.

Why You Need A Real Estate Agent - 11/10/08 05:58 AM
Some time back, a lady sent me an email after reading one of my previous blogs and told me the following story. A couple had recently purchased a home from a builder who constructs a handful of houses every year in another state. By her own admission both she and her husband had failed to do their homework and hadn't checked the reputation of the builder. They didn't know anything about his background, such as, have there been any complaints filed against him? They hadn't asked for or checked any references and in fact, hadn't toured any of the houses he … (0 comments)

Changing Interest Rates Can Make A Difference When Purchasing A House - 11/05/08 08:42 AM
While managing a Real Estate office I watched one of our agents work with some clients who wanted to buy a house and had gotten their pre-approval for a loan. The realtor's assumption was this couple, with that approval, were actually ready to make the purchase. His clients continued to look for a house but unfortunately were taking longer than what the agent thought they would take. The clients were first time home buyers, purchasing an entry level house, which was really all that they could afford and in fact, barely qualified for the mortgage. Here is the kicker and something … (0 comments)
