buying a house: Refrain From Buying Anything On Credit When Purchasing A House
- 04/12/13 05:05 AM
I have a message that I share with all of my clients. It is about, "Now That You Are In A Contract". In fact, it goes something like this: "Now that you are in a Contract there is something you must not do until after we've met at the closing table." I usually pause just for a moment, make eye contact, and then I say, "Do not go out and buy ANYTHING on Credit!" I remind them, "If you do, you might sabotage this deal". More important, I always have my clients verbally commit to me they will not do anything … (3 comments)

- 02/03/10 06:47 AM
Buying a house can be a great experience. On the other hand, it can also be a nightmare many people would just as soon forget. Through the years that I've been involved in Real Estate, I've met several individuals and couples who have phoned and later met with me that truly did not know, "How to Buy a House". In fact, many people think it's simply about touring houses first and then doing whatever else is necessary to make the purchase happen. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Please note, if there is anything at all about Real Estate that … (1 comments)
buying a house: All Important Steps To Follow When Buying A House
- 07/29/08 12:26 AM
Stressful, intimidating, sometimes down right difficult, being stripped of privacy, all are terms I've heard used for first time home buyers who are either in the process of or have concluded the purchase of a home. The question becomes, what kinds of things need to be thought about when getting ready to look for and then purchase a home? 1. You must deal with the mortgage right upfront. Have you been pre-qualified for a mortgage? Getting pre-qualified before you begin touring homes is the best way to know what is truly affordable. Many people fall into the trap of looking first, falling in … (0 comments)

buying a house: Listing Agent: Be Careful Your Sellers Don't Over Promise
- 04/24/08 02:09 AM
I have always been under the firm belief that Sellers MUST be absent from their home when it is shown to prospective buyers. My reasoning: Most sellers can't keep quiet about their house. They forget that sometimes, words spoken without having given them serious thought can come back to bite them (the seller) later. A few years ago, in Michigan, I had a client that wanted to see a house on beautiful Sutton's Bay. This was a water front property. The owner was home and was very cordial. In fact, she was almost too nice giving away to much information to … (1 comments)
buying a house: Knowing When To Buy Or Sell Real Estate
- 04/15/08 02:05 AM
The media at the present time is engaged in keeping the public informed about the housing market. This is good and somewhat helpful. One thing to keep in mind is often the statistics you are hearing and reading about are combined numbers for the entire nation rather than how we are doing locally. When you factor in some states, the national averages go way down. When you take the same states out of the averages, the numbers for our region become considerably stronger. So, how can I know if the time is now for me to Buy, Sell or Both? Well, … (0 comments)

buying a house: The House Needs TLC But Is It A Good Investment?
- 04/07/08 01:12 AM
Throughout my years in Real Estate I've observed several individuals and couples who have done well with Fixer Uppers. They have purchased a house at a good price, made necessary upgrades and changes to the property and then cashed in at the end when re-selling the house, realizing a good profit. On the other hand, I've also noted several who haven't done as well and in street terms, they were miserably unsuccessful and lost money. Why? Here is what I've discovered. Some people may be inclined towards purchasing a house that needs some work. These kinds of individuals appreciate a challenge. … (2 comments)
buying a house: Renters Can End Up Homeless Too
- 04/06/08 07:23 AM
I had a phone call a while back and was asked a simple question: "I'm thinking of renting from a private owner. If somewhere in the middle of my lease the property-owner is foreclosed on, could I end up on the street, even if at that time I am current on my rent?" Sad to say, the answer I had to give was "Yes!" The next question was: "How can I know if the Landlord is in trouble before I sign on the dotted line of the lease?" I responded, "It's not always possible to know, but you could ask him/her … (0 comments)
