buying a home: Is HGTV Poisoning Homebuyers Today? - 12/20/22 07:34 AM
Has HGTV impacted the real estate market? You bet, but not in a good way. Buyers are addicted to the shows on the popular housing network, and they're doing crazy things when they get out into the market.

buying a home: A Different Twist On Using School Zones When Buying A Home - 11/28/20 06:01 AM
If you are buying a home and you DO NOT have school-aged children (or you do but they attend private school), there are still reasons to consider the strength of the schools for which each prospective home you like is zoned.
You probably realize that buyers with school-aged children always prioritize school zones in their home search. But did you realize that those without public school needs should be doing so too?
And it's not for the reason that you might think (many agents will tell you that resale values are higher in certain school zones).
I have produced a short video that fully explains the benefits … (18 comments)

buying a home: Who's Job Is It To Figure Out The Value Of The Home You're Buying? - 08/29/20 09:26 AM
So you find a home that just hit the market, and you want to make an offer. To whom do you turn to figure out the right amount to offer?
Determining the right value is among the most important tasks required to successfully buy a home today.
As a matter of fact, I was recently asked this question “Who is primarily responsible for determining the market value of the home you want to buy?”
Questions about valuations are very common from buyers of all experience levels because nobody wants to overpay for a home. I have summarized what you need to know in this short … (50 comments)

buying a home: And Another Thing ... Buying A Home Should Be Fun! - 10/19/14 11:27 PM
When you decide you want to buy a home, you should prepare to enjoy a fun and exciting home buying process.
Of course, this won't just happen automatically, you must select the right real estate buyer's agent who can guide you through the seen and unseen aspects of the move that often times ruin the experience for other buyers going it alone (or worse, working with a terrible real estate agent).
Today's post was inspired by a reader's question, who now has a problem that was completely avoidable and is seriously considering canceling the purchase and staying in a home she has outgrown.

buying a home: How To Avoid Over-Priced Home Seller Traps - 04/26/11 01:43 AM

If you are thinking about buying a home in Tallahassee, you better beware the trap that many overpriced home sellers hope to set for you. I always urge our buyers to read an article I wrote on How To Buy Overpriced Home Listings, but despite my best advice, they are still willing to walk into the trap, so I thought I would reiterate a few of the reasons to beware the over-priced home seller.
The way most real estate contracts work, when buyer and seller have come to terms on a transaction, is that the buyer goes into a period … (2 comments)

buying a home: CNBC and USA Today: Shameful Journalism In Real Estate Reporting - 03/21/11 03:17 AM
Have you ever started reading an article and realized that its author was hell-bent on making a point, who just started grabbing clips and pieces of conversations that supported her point? I found a shameful piece of "journalism" yesterday at the USA Today Housing website, and thought I would write a rebuttal piece for people who are on the fence about buying a home.
Just to clarify my position from the start, I make my living helping people buy and sell homes, so I obviously have a bias as I sit and write this. But also know that I authored the … (2 comments)
