buyers market: To Pre or not to Pre - That is the Question!! - 04/21/07 09:26 AM
Inspections & Appraisals? One way REALTORS® can ensure that they and their clients know the true condition and value of the home they’re putting on the market is by getting a guaranteed pre-inspection by a professional inspection company and a pre-appraisal.
Everyone knows pricing and condition will play a Major Role in home sales. But not everyone agrees on what is smart or how to go about leveraging these elements.

So why Pre-Inspection...
A guaranteed pre-inspection is an effective selling tool, reassuring … (6 comments)

buyers market: To Sign or Not to Sign... - 04/05/07 12:13 AM
Did You Know? Purchasing real estate is a complex and major transaction with many details to be handled. Depending on the laws in your state and the business arrangement you have with a licensed real estate agent, that agent may actually be negotiating for the seller, not you the buyer.
The best way to be certain that an agent is working in your best interests is by signing a buyer representation agreement with an agent.
A real estate buyer's representative represents the buyer who is purchasing property in a real estate transaction. Research by the National Association of REALTORS has shown … (7 comments)

Did You Know? It's a Great Time for Buyers! Top Reasons to Buy a Home Now!
It's no secret that the housing market finally, after a long while, belongs to the buyer. Home sales and prices sagged in 2006, and 2007 is not expected to be too different. According to David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, buyers have a "window of opportunity" in 2007 to take advantage of lower mortgage interest rates and seller flexibility.
A cooling housing market gives buyers, especially first-time buyers, more opportunities to snatch up a good deal. Here are the Top Reasons to … (0 comments)

WASHINGTON, D. C. December 9, 2006 -- A new tax deduction will make homes more affordable next year by allowing many American home buyers to write-off premiums for private and government mortgage insurance. The deduction, which will help families who can’t afford the traditional 20 percent down payment for a home mortgage, will be effective for the 2007 tax year.
“Making the cost of mortgage insurance tax deductible helps those who need it most: low- and moderate-income Americans, primarily first-time home buyers, who are financially responsible but simply don’t have … (1 comments)

buyers market: Is 'Your' Realtor really working for you? - 03/06/07 10:52 AM
Exclusive Buyer Agent Don't get taken advantage of! It does not cost you anything to be represented by a professional buyer's agent like myself and it could save you thousands. Sellers have agents working for them and home buyers should too!
Is 'your' Realtor working for you? As a home buyer, your interests are not represented properly unless you have told the Realtor who is showing you homes that you want them to represent you as your "Buyer's Agent." If you haven't, "your Agent" could be representing the seller.
