louisville real estate: Buying a home? How many should you see first? - 10/25/12 12:54 AM

By Greg Hardy | Buyer Specialist
An important first step when you're ready to buy a home is to hire a Realtor.  You want an agent who is willing to work with you to make that dream of owning a home a reality. They should listen to you and your needs and show you homes that match your criteria. You should also speak with a loan officer to become pre-approved so that you know exactly how much home that you can afford.  This is a crucial step in the home buying process.
So how many should I look at before I buy?
Even if the first home … (0 comments)

By Greg Hardy | Buyer Specialist
In any home transaction there needs to be a buyer and a seller.  Most of the time there is at least one real estate agent involved.  The listing agent’s sole purpose is to represent their client, the seller, so how can they equally represent you?  They can’t!
A buyer’s agent sole focus is on you, the buyer.  Many people think that If they don’t use a buyer’s agent that they're saving money on commission.  They reality is that you don’t save money because the listing contract has the commission already agreed upon.  … (0 comments)

louisville real estate: What Is A Short Sale, And Should I Buy One? - 06/14/12 05:19 AM

By Greg Hardy / Buyer's Specialist

The homeowner has fallen behind on the payments and wants to sell the home instead of letting the home fall into a foreclosure. Also, the homeowner could be up to date on payments but the value of the home has fallen far below what is owed.
Now of course when a short sale home comes on the market … (0 comments)
