So ... what can you do to prepare your home?
Look around the outside everywhere. Are the shrubs neatly trimmed? Is there fresh mulch? Is everything … (4 comments)

asheville realtor: Options For Coming Up With Your Down Payment - 09/05/18 08:07 PM
Calculate how much and how quickly you want to save   Consider the price of the house you can afford and determine 20% of the value. That’s your target. Let’s say it’s $50,000. Divide that number by your time horizon. If you want to buy in five years, divide by five — you’ll need to save $10,000 per year. Divide that number by 12, and you’ll get your target monthly savings goal: $834.
Perhaps you want to buy a home sooner. You can shorten your time horizon by saving more each month if your budget allows.

It's not Fool Proof!  An experienced agent usually can nail it pretty good, but there are many variables, the most influential being the seller themselves not wanting to hear the truth. Therefore, there may be little or no showings until … (0 comments)
