In a strong real estate market, sellers can be more selective in the final buyer they choose to negotiate with. In such a crazed seller's market, it's not uncommon for a home seller to receive multiple offers on their property. With that said; there are certain things you can do to make certain that your offer is the one Seller goes with. The vast majority of Purchaser's today go about the process entirely wrong, putting themselves at an overwhelming disadvantage! Let's look at this from the Sellers perspective for a moment. If you were the Seller and had multiple offers on your property, all things being equal, would you accept the one with Certificate of Financing Approval or the one that was still conditional on Financing? The answer is obvious. Why then, do so many buyers wait to start the financing until after they have found the home? What I have found is that those buyers are usually very good, qualified buyers and are not worried about getting approved. Even though they usually are correct and will ultimately be Approved, the Seller in most cases has no guarantees. Lastly, from a cost savings perspective... As a prospective purchaser, it makes all the more sense to start the financing early on so you can get a firm handle on your interest rate and estimate of points and closing costs. If you do this before finding a home, you are not under any time constraints and are less likely to over pay like a buyer who has found a home and is under strict time constraints. Should you decide that you wish to take advantage of Pre-Approval, simply complete the attached confidential mortgage application. We will locate the absolute best mortgage rate and lowest closing costs possible and process your application without any cost or obligation.

The Sunday Tour of Homes is a quick and easy way to preview several homes in a couple of hours without any pressure or hassle. The Sunday Tour of Homes is a great way to get an overview of what homes and features are available in your price range. Here's how it works: Each Sunday, we conduct one or two tours of six homes each. The tours run between 1:00 and 3:15 pm, and you can meet us at any home on either tour. Feel free to drive by the homes before their scheduled tour times, but once the tour starts, don't be late for the one(s) you want to preview. There will lots of other buyers on the tour, and show times are exact. Our Sunday Tour is Very Different Than a Traditional Open House Traditional open houses are sometimes uncomfortable for both buyers and sellers because you've often got a hovering agent watching your every move. Most importantly, they're NOT very effective at selling homes either. In fact, according to industry statistics, less than 1% of homes are sold as a result of a traditional open house. That's why we don't do them. In contrast, our well-organized and efficient Sunday Tours are much more convenient and productive for both buyers and sellers. We found that most buyers can determine within a very short time-frame whether or not they're interested in a home they've previewed. If you see a home on the tour that you're interested in, a second private showing can easily be scheduled for you (often later in the same day). See you this Sunday!

Unlike the experience of buying a first home, when you're looking to move-up, and already own a home, there are certain factors that can complicate the situation. It's very important for you to understand these issues before you list your home for sale. Not only is there the issue of financing to consider, but you also have to sell your present home at exactly the right time in order to avoid either the financial burden of owning two homes or, just as bad, the dilemma of having no place to live during the gap between closings. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a FREE Special Report entitled "6 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving Up to a Larger Home". The information contained in this report will help you make informed choices before you put your home on the market in anticipation of moving to a larger home.

A new report has been prepared which identifies the most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for. And knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their home is listed, a FREE report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.
