My Simple Treasures


As the New Year unfolds, I am going to try to make a conscious effort to appreciate and savor the simple treasures of my everyday life and to live in the moment.

Here are a few of mine:

A quiet house in the morning

A hot & steamy mug of coffee

The warmth of my home

A beautiful sunrise

A clean kitchen

Chatting with a friend on the phone

My husband's kiss

A hug from my kids and grandchildren

Good food to eat

A nice warm shower

An evening swing on the porch

Good clients to work with

And a few moments to say a prayer at night

 
I know it's nothing super exciting, but these precious moments bring me much joy.

I take pleasure in each day that God blesses me with. I love all things family and home.

And I hope you will take the time to recognize a few of the simple treasures in your life!

Being a Real Estate agent is more than just knowing how to sell homes.  It is about building a lasting business relationship with you. And yes, many times our relationship becomes more than just business! As we spend quite a bit of time in my vehicle or at your kitchen table, we tend to get to know each other. e talk and laugh together and sometimes we even shed a tear together! I have been blessed over the years to have the opportunity to get to know some really great folks plus help them buy or sell real estate.

WHAT IS A FHA 203(K) LOAN?



Are you looking or have you found a home that is a "fixer upper"... you know a home that you really like but it needs work?  But now you are thinking you just don't have the money for the down payment and the money to make the repairs? Well, the FHA 203(k) loan might just be the right loan for you. This program will allow you, the borrower to include the repair and improvement costs into the loan amount on either a purchase or refinance with a one time closing. The funds for the repairs and improvements are held in an escrow account, and are released when the work is completed. The mortgage amount is based on the projected value of the completed project. FHA has made this loan easier and faster to close than ever before.

Now you know that you have options when you find the perfect home that needs repair.

And as always, if you or someone you know is considering a move, I can help you find the home you are looking for...it's what I do!

Here are The Advantages of a FHA 203(k) Loan ...

It can be for Purchase or Refinance
Standard FHA Down payment
Finance up to 6 months mortgage payments
Special HUD down payment programs
An FHA assumable mortgage
One-to-Four Family Dwellings
Repair and improvement work is completed after your loan closes

Real Estate Assessments


As I have been going about my travels in Locust Grove Va for the past few days I have noticed the county assessment car so I thought I would give you a more indepth explaination about real estate assessment.

A real estate assessment is conducted periodically by your local government to assign a value to your home for taxation purposes. An assessment isn't the same as a private appraisal, and the assessed value of your home isn't necessarily how much you could sell it for today. Real estate assessment notices are mailed to homeowners every two to three years, depending on where you live.

Your notice will include some information about your property, such as lot size or a legal description as well as the assessed value of your house and land. Some additional details like the number of bedrooms or date of construction can often be found in the property listing on your local government's website. Your property tax bill will usually be calculated by multiplying your home's assessed value by the local tax rate, which will vary from town to town or county to county.

If you think your home's assessment is higher than it should be, challenge it immediately. The clock starts ticking as soon as the notice goes out. You generally have less than 30 days to respond but the procedure is usually outlined on the back of the notice.

If you want to know your homes current market value I would be happy to provide you with a Market Analysis.

Let's Look at the Bright Side!

 

Let's Look at the Bright Side!


If you still believe in homeownership, then you are not alone. Survey results confirm homebuyer confidence is alive and well.

  •  70% think this is a "good" or "great" time to buy a home

  •  79% expect real estate prices to increase over the next five years

  •  92% believe homeownership is a good investment

  •  75% said homeownership is better than stocks and bonds

  •  72% prefer homeownership to mutual funds
       (Source: Prudential Real Estate and Relocations Services, Inc. 04/28/2010)

These are some pretty compelling reasons to make a move. Do you agree with these statistics? I am interested to know what you think!

And if you are ready to start house hunting, let's turn seeing into believing while home prices remain attractive and interest rates are at historic lows.

Fly The American Flag on 9/11

 

September 11, 2011...Fly the American flag of any size on 9/11.


On Saturday, September 11th, 2010, the American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display the American flag on the ninth anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies. Please do this honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms. The American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

Honestly, I think we as Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.

PS: My Flag is flying!

God Bless You and God Bless America!!!

Buying More Home For Less

 

The Wall Street Journal ran an article July 24, 2010 pointing out how record low interest rates and low home prices "are presenting unusual opportunities in the housing market these days-even for so-called underwater borrowers." Some intrepid homeowners are intentionally taking a loss on their current house, and writing a big check to retire their old mortgage IN ORDER TO BUY TWICE THE HOME FOR NOT MUCH MORE MONEY. Click on the link below to read the full article:

Try to Plan for A Stress Free Move...If there is such a thing!

 


Try to Plan For A Stress Free Move...If there is such a thing!


Moving can rank right at the top as one of the most stressful experiences a family goes through. Not only do you have to try to pack up all your belongings while still feeding and clothing your family, but you have to find a way to get everything safely to your new home, no matter whether it's across town or across the country. Careful planning can make the process much less stressful.

Time to Get Started


Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to pack your household goods. Many families report that it takes them about a month to pack their entire home. Use your calendar to give yourself deadlines, such as by this date the family room or kitchen will be packed, and try to track your progress.

Find A Good Moving Company

Once you have begun packing, take the time to find a reputable moving company. Have them look at what you have that needs to be moved and give you an estimate of how much the move will cost. Always check the referrals and reviews of a company, and avoid the temptation to use the most affordable mover.

Time to Pack


Remember that your family members will need some supplies to live with while you are packing. Use a suitcase for each family member, packing it with a few days' worth of clothing and some items for entertainment, and keep these separate from your packing area.
You can make the task less overwhelming if you pack one room at a time. This allows you to stay focused, and also helps you purge those items that you simply do not need or want anymore.

First Night


You might want to consider creating an "OPEN ME FIRST" box for each room. This box should hold the most important items that you will need for your first night in your new home. Clearly mark this box so the moving company will know that you need easy access when you get to your new home. Label all boxes and put the boxes in the room they will go in along with a basic description of the contents.
Nothing can completely remove all of the stress of a big move, but being organized as you pack should help make the stress a little easier to handle.


And if you or someone you know is considering buying or selling a home, I can help. It's what I do!
