We wouldn't be writing if we didn't expect our blogs to have an impact - but what kind? Sometimes they're informative or helpful, sometimes they provide love and light and then again sometimes not. We can have a myriad of effects on those people that read our Blogs.
Our Blogs carry with them their own energy. They can be fresh, creative and inspiring...or negative, critical and stagnant. They can bring laughter and tears and their own special 'Aha' moments.

Although not a comprehensive list here are some tips.
1. Get preapproved for a mortgage. I know we like to leave this for later in the game. But do yourself a favor and do it first! Rather than guessing or estimating how much you can afford to spend, ask a lender or mortgage broker to pre-qualify you - and while you're at it - get him to give it to you in writing.(please note the pre-qualification guarantee will be good for 30-90 days and if you have … (16 comments)

What's Your Commission? On Hiring a Realtor Based on their Fee...
I always say (oh well maybe somebody did say it before me) - if the Realtor cannot negotiate their own Commission then how are they going to negotiate the best price possible for your home? Negotiation skills. I would think, given a choice - you would want an aggressive negotiator, not someone that either doesn't believe in their own ability or the value of your home!
The question that begs to be asked is....Why do some Real Estate Agents offer Discounted Fees? Is it because they're the Good Guy? They just want to … (28 comments)
