mchenry county realtors: How Much Should You Spend to Prepare Your Home For Sale - 04/12/08 01:09 PM
In preparing your home for the market, spend as little money as possible. Buyers will be impressed by a brand new roof, but they aren't likely to give you enough extra money to pay for it. There is a big difference between making minor and inexpensive polishes and touch-ups to your house, such as putting new knobs on cabinets and a fresh coat of neutral paint in the living room, and doing extensive and costly renovations, like installing a new kitchen. Your REALTOR® is familiar with buyers' expectations in your neighborhood and can advise you specifically on what improvements need to … (3 comments)

mchenry county realtors: Why Use a REALTOR When Buying New Construction? - 04/10/08 06:23 PM
Many buyers that I have talked to and worked with were unaware that they can and should use a REALTOR when buying a new home from a builder.  They also assumed they didn't need a home inspection.

mchenry county realtors: Choosing the right REALTOR - 03/24/08 02:06 PM
Choosing the right REALTOR to represent you can make it or break it when it comes to selling your current house or buying your dream home.  Look for an agent that is committed to providing you with the best experience possible.  Agents are not one size fits all.  You will want to do your homework to see who fits your buying and or selling style and who can truly guide your towards your goal.

Buying a home is a big step in your life!  Whether you are a first time home buyer, or doing this for the second or third time, it is a large financial investment.  It may just be the most expensive thing you will ever buy!  This is why it is so important to hire your own REALTOR to assist you with the process.
 Think of it this way:  If you have to go to court, you are going to hire a licensed attorney.  If you have a medical problem you will probably go to a doctor.  When it comes time to make … (0 comments)
