Another 5 Tips for First Time Home Buyers & The Federal Tax Credit up to $8,000

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:46:40 -0500

Have you been trying to decide when the best time to buy your first home? Waiting for the housing market to hit the bottom? Well, it's here. Economists indicate that the worst is over. Read more here.

Once you decide to jump off the fence, here are a few tips to consider when preparing your home search.

1. When is your lease up? When CAN you move? Are you allowed to sublet? It may take up to six months, to talk to a lender to get pre-approved, find your agent, view homes, let your agent negotiate the best price/terms for you, setup closing and get the KEYS to YOUR NEW HOME.

2. Think long term. Are you looking for a starter home for a few years or are you hoping to stay in this home for longer? This decision may dictate what type of home you will buy as well as the type of mortgage terms that suit you best.

3. Don't let yourself be house poor. If you max yourself out to buy the biggest home you can afford, you'll have no money left for maintenance or decoration or to save money for other financial goals.

4. Don't be naive. Insist on a home inspection and if possible get a warranty from the seller to cover defects within one year.

5. Get help. Consider hiring a REALTOR as a buyer's representative. He/She will help you buy your home at the best possible price and terms. And most often, buyer's reps are paid out of the seller's commission payment. You should also use your own representative when purchasing New Construction. Read more here. REALTORS are professionals. It's our job. Let us work for you.

Will you take advantage of the new Federal New Home Buyer Tax Credit.

Why Hire a Buyer's Agent? Even for New Construction

Sat, 04 Apr 2009 08:42:07 -0500

I hear this alot, "I'm buying new contruction. I don't need a Buyers Agent" ...or do you? You want to get the best possible deal you can, right?

Well, here's my reply...It's always best to have your own professional representation, no matter the buying situation (resale or new contruction). The sellers (listing) agent is just that, the sellers agent. They owe their fudiciary to the builder/seller and will work in their best interest. They are required by agency law to do so. Therefore, they, by law, must share any knowledge they have about you that may be advantageous to the seller. You may provide this information without really realizing. Therefore, it is always best to have a Buyers Agent handle all negotiations and communications with the sellers agent on your behalf. As a Buyers Agent, I am required to provide the Buyer with what I like to refer to as LOADS of responsibility...Loyalty to you, Obey your lawful instructions, Accountable for monies, deposits, forms, etc, Disclosure of all material facts that could influence your decision making and Skill, care and deligence in respresenting and negotiating on your behalf. Let me represent YOUR best interest.

If you are thinking of purchasing New Construction or a resale, please consider Exit Select Realty for all your real estate needs. www.melissamoores.com

May your day be full of blessings!

6 Tips to increase your Credit Score

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:04:28 -0500

Here are a few tips to help you increase your credit score. Especially if you plan on purchasing a new home in the near future or even just as good practice to make sure you get the best rates.

1. Make all your payments on time. If you have had past due payments on your report in the past, make sure all payments made within the last 6 to 12 mos have been made on time. Lates make up 35% of your score.

2. Outstanding Debt makes up another 30%. Payoff whatever you can prior to applying for a loan. If that's not possible, call your credit card companies and ask for an increase in your limit. This will increase your available credit thus increasing your debt ratio. Now don't go charging up a bunch of stuff just because your limits have increased. The goal is to increase the gap from what you owe to what credit you have available to you. You can also get a GIFT to payoff any debt prior to applying for a loan.

3. Length of Credit History makes up another 15%. Do not close out your old accounts or any for that matter. This also increases your available credit. Even if you don't use the cards, keep them open. If you close one card with a $10,000 limit that will reduce your available credit by that same 10k possibly making your outstanding debt ratio reduce your score. Use and payoff balances on all cards at least once a year to keep the companies from closing your cards. Just make sure to payoff.

4. Have a good mix of cards. You want a few department store cards, like Home Depot or Wal-Mart (just to name a few, not recommending over any others). Also installment loans like car loans, and a Visa and a MasterCard. Again, just make sure you have the discipline to payoff the cards monthly or within a short period of time.

5. Review your credit report at least once a year. Get scores from all three bureaus. They may differ depending on their criteria, but you should know what each report contains and the scores.

6. There shouldn't be anything on your report over 7 years old unless it's a bankruptcy or such. If there is, you can request that information be removed. Also look for incorrect information and have that fixed.

Here's some DON'Ts after you have applied and been approved for your loan, prior to the closing.

1. Don't miss payments or pay late.

2. Don't make any big purchases like a vehicle or second home.

3. Don't open any new accounts.

Hope these tips help. If you have others you would like to add, please comment on them!

8 Reasons Why You Should Hire a REALTOR

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:49:00 -0500

8 Reason why you should Hire a Realtor

Why it's a good idea to hire a REALTOR®.

1. You will have a professional to guide you through the process. Buying and Selling a home requires disclosures, forms and setup of inspections, mortgage loans, etc and a REALTOR® has experience to help you get the best deal.

2. You can receive objective information and opinions from an unbiased professional that knows the area and the market. They do not have an emotional tie to the property.

3. REALTOR® can help you find the best property out there to fit your needs. We have access to databases of thousands of qualified agents that specialize in buying and/or selling.

4. You can benefit from your REALTORs® negotiating skills. They have been there and done that. It's part of the job. We will work to get you the best deal possible.

5. We have marketing power. Real estate doesn't usually sell on advertising alone. It mostly sells due to the vast network of past clients, referrals and friends and family of REALTORs®.

6. Real Estate, like most professions, has it's own language. We are familiar with the acronyms that most may cringe to see.

7. Buying and Selling is emotional for most homeowners and buyers. See No. 2 above.

8. REALTORs®, those that are members of NAR (National Association of Realtors) are committed
to adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and the protection of the public. We are also required to complete refresher courses to stay current on the changes to laws, forms, etc.

5 Tips for First Time Homebuyers

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:20:23 -0500

Are you aware of the New First Time Homebuyer Credit of $8,000? If not, you should be. If you have not owned a home in the past 3 years, you are eligible for this credit with a home purchased Jan 1st, 2009 up til December 31st, 2009. Unlike the first credit, this one does not have to be paid back. Truly a great opportunity for those of you still setting on the Buy vs Rent fence. Interest rates are are hovering right around 5% and more programs are opening up to get more buyers approved. So if you've thought you wouldn't qualify in the past, it is certainly worth checking out NOW!

Here's 5 Tips for YOU First Time Homebuyers that make the smart move of finding YOUR NEW HOME!

1. Be picky, but don't be unrealistic. There is no absolutely perfect home.

2. Do your homework before you start looking. Decide what features you NEED and then WANT in a home and indicate which ones are the most important to you.

3. Get your finances in order. Review your credit report and be sure you have enough money to cover your down payment and any closing costs.

4. Don't wait to get a loan. Talk with a reputable lender to get pre-approved. That way you know what price range you can buy in and will eliminate some frustration if you find that home you just love is a little out of your price range and you have to start over. Most real estate agents will not even take you out to look until you have this approval. So go ahead and JUST DO IT!

5. Don't ask too many people for opinions. It will drive you crazy. Select one or two people to turn to if you feel you need a second opinion and keep it there.

I hope you find these tips helpful and for any of those that are still setting on the fence, you just fall off to the buying side. It is truly one of the best times to buy a home. So, will you take advantage of the New First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit?

Please consider Exit Select Realty for all your real estate needs.

2009 ACC Tournament Pairings - North Carolina #1 seed

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:28:33 -0500

The ACC men's tournament kicks off this Thursday with four games, starting at Noon. North Carolina came away with the #1 seed by defeating the Duke Blue Devils for the out right regular season championship.

As each year, this one is sure to have a few surprises and I'm thinking NC State may be the team to make some noise....well, that's what I'm hoping...as long as they don't step on North Carolina's toes.

Thursday, March 12

No. 8 Virginia Tech vs. No. 9 Miami, Noon (Raycom)

No. 5 Clemson vs. No. 12 Georgia Tech, 2:30 p.m. (Raycom)

No. 7 Maryland vs. No. 10 NC State, 7:00 p.m. (ESPN2)

No. 6 Boston College vs. No. 11 Virginia, 9:30 p.m. (Raycom)

Friday, March 13

Game No. 5: No. 1 North Carolina vs. Virginia Tech/Miami winner, Noon (Raycom/ESPN2)

Game No. 6: No. 4 Florida State vs. Clemson/Georgia Tech winner, 2:30 p.m. (Raycom/ESPN2)

Game No. 7: No. 2 Wake Forest vs. Maryland/NC State winner, 7:00 p.m. (Raycom/ESPN2)

Game No. 8: No. 3 Duke vs. Boston College/Virginia winner, 9:30 p.m. (Raycom/ESPN2)

Will you be sneaking out of work to see your favorite team play? If so, what's your plan? Who do you think with win the ACC? My vote is for UNC...go heels!
