Buying A Home - Get A Written Proof of Mortgage Pre-Approval - 06/28/08 11:28 AM
The first step in the home buying process is getting pre-approval for a loan. This will help you focus on the amount of mortgage you may obtain and the price range of homes to consider. Since sellers will be reluctant to take their property off the market for buyers who may not qualify, they will require written proof of financial pre-approval letters to negotiate with you.
There are two kinds of written proof of mortgage qualification. The first is a pre-qualification letter. This document provided by a lender tells an interested party that the buyer has provided the lender with certain financial details. … (3 comments)

Thinking Of Buying A Home - Find Out Your Credit History - 06/28/08 10:49 AM
Lenders see your credit history as a reliable predictor of repaying your mortgage on time as agreed. You should protect your credit just as you would protect your good name. A damaged credit history can keep you from homeownership.
When you apply for a mortgage a lender will order a credit report from one of three credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. A credit report will give a history of your credit. It will show past loans, outstanding credit balances, how you make your payments, types of credit accounts, delinquent accounts, foreclosures, bankruptcy, judgments, liens, and collection accounts.
Lenders also … (1 comments)

As a buyer, your goals are very different from the sellers during negotiations. You want to pay as little as possible while sellers want to sell for the highest possible price. Buyer advantage comes with market knowledge.

Thinking Of Buying A Home Tips - Your Personal Decision to Buy - 06/13/08 10:32 AM

To understand the renting vs. buying decision, analyze your personal and financial situation. The first variable is your current rent. The decision to buy rests on the advantages accumulated beyond the term of your lease. You should estimate the annual rent increases that you will have to pay if you rent longer than one year. Then factor in your renter's insurance. While renter's insurance is on contents, this amount will offset some of the insurance that you will pay as a homeowner. Normally utility costs are not factored in unless you are in a unit where the landlord pays all or … (6 comments)

Real Estate - The Basic Principle of Negotiation - 06/11/08 12:55 PM

Negotiating is a communication process wherein two parties bargain resources and seek to reach an agreement for mutual benefit. However, other elements can also favorably influence the negotiation. As a result, it is important to understand the basics of negotiation so that you can better achieve your goals and develop "win-win" strategies.
Negotiation Basics
Focus on needs, not position. Once a party assumes a position, negotiation can become stalemated. An example of a position could be a closing date. Shifting to a needs focus would examine why that … (1 comments)

This blog is dedicated to the Rockland County, NY. Real Estate Market. My Real Estate Blog provides fresh perspective on our market activity. Real Estate is not just about selling or buying properties; it is about communities, people and families. I go above and beyond what is traditionally expected of a REALTOR. I am your source to Rockland County NY Real Estate information. Traditionally, REALTORS were always the people to ask about what was happening in a particular community, since REALTORS are intimately involved in the places they live and work. I love our communities I love the villages, the towns, the schools, the restaurants, the parks, the people! And I know what's going on, because I am connected to the people and places in the communities I serve. So I would like to be your resource for real estate and community information. I will be posting my own analysis of the local real estate market, based on my expertise and experience in these markets, and I'll also be posting information and analysis of local events and happenings. Remember: The relationship between a home buyer or seller and their Realtor is based on trust, shared goals and understanding. I strive to continually improve and to do this I listen and take the needs and wants into consideration.
