condos in alexandria: Closing Costs --- What exactly do the buyer and seller have to pay for? - 01/24/09 07:23 AM
Firstly and mostly the average consumer should know that all closing costs are open to negotiation. This means that in any given contract, any expense can be paid by either the buyer or the seller. However, there are costs that typically related to the purchase and those are paid by the buyer. Likewise there are costs related to the sale and those are most usually paid by the seller.
Here's a list some of the typical concerns for real estate purchases, with specific notes for the condominium purchaser. Some of these (like Home Inspection) are optional and a few of these … (0 comments)

condos in alexandria: You've been prequalified ... what now? - 11/24/08 06:36 AM
I met with a first-time buyer over the weekend. She was prequalified by Condominium Mortgage. Prequalifying helped frame her choices. It's a waste of time and energy to look at homes that are outside of the budget, so prequalification is the first step for any home buyer. Here are the steps that we'll be taking on the road to home ownership.

condos in alexandria: Resale condos vs. new condos - 09/21/08 10:17 AM
If you're in the market for a condo, one of the first decisions you need to make is whether to by a newly built condo, or to by a previously owned condominium. Both have advantages and both have pitfalls. Here are a few thoughts to consider.

The majority of condos that are sold are existing condos. This is neither an advantage or a disadvantage---simply a fact. The majority of marketing materials and advertisements you will see for condos is for new construction.  This means that it is easier to find ads, pretty pictures and floor plans for new condos.

condos in alexandria: New Condo Buying Tip - 08/24/08 08:49 PM
If you're thinking of buying a new condo, you probably already know that every new condo development will have its own sales staff. These people are often friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the new condominium. However, these folks work to sell this property only.

When in the market for a new condo, it's a good idea to employ a condo expert such as Will Nesbitt of Condo 1 to protect your … (0 comments)
