faifax mls: Real Estate 101 - When Going House Hunting
- 05/15/11 08:42 AM
Someone phoned me some time back indicating they had been referred to me by a previous client. Here is what they shared.They had their preapproval for Mortgage and were ready to begin the search for their next home. In fact, they told me the home finding mission had to happen very fast. In Real Estate we would say, "Time was truly of the Essence". So the question was: "What can you do to make this happen as quickly as possible?" I suggested that perhaps the question should be worded a bit different: "What can WE do to make this happen as … (0 comments)
faifax mls: Prioritizing Is A Must When Shopping For Your Next Home
- 04/08/11 02:50 AM
Prioritizing is truly a MUST when shopping for a house. As many of my readers know, I am a firm believer in getting pre-approved before you or anyone begins their home search. The fact is, without pre-approval, we really don't know your price range to search in. Additionally, you won't be able to make an offer as a prepared and ready to deal purchaser. Most important, you will always have a measure of doubt as to whether or not you can even get approved. The truth is, NOT Knowing is NOT Better! You need your pre-approval! Let me say it again, … (4 comments)

By the way, the thoughts shared within the above article can certainly be used for someone wanting to buy a house? For example: “Do we save for the new house or pay off debt first?” I hope … (0 comments)

- 03/09/11 06:59 AM
I love Real Estate. In fact, I have a serious passion and inward drive for doing what I do. I know there are many in the working world that calls going to work every day, “A job”. I refer to it as an opportunity, a chance to help people fulfill their dream of a lifetime, that of purchasing a home. This isn’t a job for me, it is a joy; a great moment to serve others. Having said this, I’m reminded of a moment within several contracts over previous years where my buyers nearly made a fatal mistake and almost crushed … (3 comments)
faifax mls: Some Thoughts About Your Financial Behavior
- 01/31/11 02:40 AM
I am primarily a Buyers Agent! Sometimes I will take a listing, especially if it is a previous client or someone that I know personally. Most important, I simply enjoy working with Buyers, helping their dreams come true.I've noted, with great interest, that many people are having difficulty getting their pre-approval for a Mortgage lately. They think going into it, there won't be any problem and are quite surprised when all of a sudden they hit a roadblock, and are turned down for the money.This has caused me to seriously consider how my clients and prospective clients are living when it … (0 comments)

- 10/05/10 05:32 AM
How can I ever forget the first time I decided to use my Veteran status to help me secure a Veteran’s Loan? It all happened about 40 years ago, before my Real Estate days and I have to admit, I was really quite uninformed about how to use my Veteran benefits. Remember, although I hate to admit it because it dates me, we are talking about the days before the internet. The process just seemed awkward. I recently found this excellent writing, something to guide all Veteran’s thru the home buying procedure, specifically securing a VA Loan: VA Loans Offer Good … (0 comments)
faifax mls: How To Break Away From Paycheck To Paycheck Living
- 10/04/10 04:47 AM
I’ve had many prospective clients down through the years say, “We just can’t manage to save for a house”. They continue on to indicate they live paycheck to paycheck, have bills, college debt and are raising a family with huge expenses. Again, I hear, “We can’t seem to save!” One of the leading obstacles to home ownership is most often centered on finance and money within many households seemingly in short supply. In fact, it is known that many Americans literally live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck. This goes on week after week; month after month and year after year because … (2 comments)
