anacortes real estate agents: How Much Should I Pay For That House? - 09/28/08 11:03 PM
How Much Should You Pay For That House? I am asked that question all the time. I can tell you the a range that the price should sell for, but sometimes I see buyers pay to much for an emotional decision based on things such staging and the furniture in the house.  That is not a wise decision.
However if the house is one that is perfect for you and you are within the range of what the house is worth, then don't get caught in a trap of getting hung up on a number.
   What really matters is what … (1 comments)

The Home Buying Process - Part III

 Negotiations:
 
     Whenever possible, I will personally present the offer to the seller.  I gain a lot of insight into negotiating when I see the seller's reaction to the offer or hear their concerns.  If the seller presents us with a counter offer I will help you determine whether to accept the counter offer or counter the counter offer.  There is more to the offer than just price so being able to determine what is the most important aspect to the seller can often result in a lower offer being … (0 comments)

anacortes real estate agents: The Home Buying Process - Part I - 09/14/08 12:19 PM
The Home Buying Process  Part I
I hve had 2 calls in the last week from first time home buyers wanting to go house hunting. Their expectation ws that they would find a house and then see a lender.  This is actually backwards as the first step is to see a lender.  Your new home may not be realistic,

 and not only will you be wasting your time and missing out on seeing the appropriate inventory, but when you see what you can afford you might be disappointed. 

If this happens, we can suggest other neighborhoods or present bank owned properties … (0 comments)
