First time home buyer tips come in all shapes, sizes, and sources!. From little tricks of the trade related to the mortgage process to insider information on selecting a real estate agent, there surely is no shortage of guidance available to a first time home buyer.
If a home is being sold for less than what the current owner owes on the property—and the seller does not have other funds to make up the difference at closing—the sale is considered a short sale.

- 03/30/16 08:43 AM
Before you even decide to install a swimming pool, you’re likely to start focusing on one key factor – size. After all, how can you even begin to envision how a new pool will look in your backyard without considering how much space it will take up?

- 12/10/09 10:34 PM
Im still amazed at how many sales people think New Media is going away. I was part of a panel yesterday for Twitter, Facebook, Blogging and using Video to create inbound conversation about you and your product. I find that we all hear the buzz words and know its something people are doing but why, and who has the time is the objection often most heard. Well for one New Media allows the consumer to get to know you and your product BEFORE they make a choice to pick up the phone, best of all its on their time and their … (3 comments)

Hampton Roads' Real Estate market is in good shape. I'm a full time Realtor in the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk sales market. I don't think Short sales and REO's are taking over the market. I do think there is a good inventory of homes to choose from of these types of homes but I also see a lot of traditional listings.

If you're a buyer and you're still thinking asking yourself, "Is this the right time … (0 comments)
