- 07/12/11 09:14 AM
What could be better than an immaculate 2 bedroom ranch-style unit? How about if that unit has 1 bath, central air and the laundry machines in the unit? Or if the living room/dining room offers a vaulted ceiling, skylight and ceiling fan with sliders to a deck offering more storage? And how about if I throw in a garage and your own private storage closet? Well...if this all sounds too good to be true, then visit me on Sunday, 7/17 from 12-3 to see this gem that is sited in a 6-unit complex in a quiet location, but convenient to everything! … (0 comments)

- 08/10/10 08:41 AM
YADDA YADDA YADDA...Remember that Seinfeld episode when Elaine is recapping a date and she says something like, "We had the bisque and then yadda yadda yadda." Jerry says, "Hey you left out the best part of the story", to which Elaine replies, "No. I mentioned the bisque." Think about your home....what would someone who comes to see it at an open house say was the best part? Here's some comments I've heard: "The colors here are just beautiful" "Obviously, this is the boys room"...decorated with pictures of half naked girls "Are these owners smokers?" "What is that smell?"...oh, just a … (0 comments)

FSBO... What does it stand for? HAFA... potentially the trickiest acronym of all in the Real Estate field, but not if you know the process. In order to reduce the number of foreclosures in the US, the Treasury Department introduced a new federal program that makes it easier to process a short sale for people unable to keep their homes. Check out www.makinghomeaffordable.com for more information. And by the way, Home Afforable Foreclosure Alternative (HAFA).

shelton: FHA... Did you know...
- 07/01/10 08:44 AM
I really enjoy my dictionary.com word of the day (can you tell I also like the thesaurus option on that site). I've really become smitten with not only knowing the word, but from whence it came, or its origin. I really do have a point here, and that is, that as a Realtor articles come across my desk everyday. Yesterday, I found an interesting one on FHA loans... In 1934, the Federal Housing Administration(FHA) was created by the National Housing Act for the primary purpose of insuring residential mortgage loans while promoting home ownership in the US. Today, FHA is the … (0 comments)
shelton: Be Prepared
- 06/30/10 07:34 AM
Semper Paratus... The old boy scout saying is true, be prepared. When the time is right to buy you need to be prepared. Don't wait until you have found your dream home to speak to a mortgage broker and to get your finances in order. Remember, getting a pre-qualification can take time, time you may not have when you are anxious to make an offer. Look for important documents, like bank statements, taxes and W-2's. Spend time deciding how much money you have to put down on a home and where will your deposit come from. Be sure what price range you are comfortable with. … (0 comments)
shelton: Don't you just love a bargain!
- 06/29/10 08:25 AM
My heart skips a beat when I see a red CLEARANCE sign. I don't go into a store without my coupons. It's not like I believe I should get something for nothing (although I do play the lottery), but why pay more when you don't have to? I never come home and tell my husband what I spent. I come home and tell him how much I saved. Yes, yes, yes...the receipt may say $200 on the credit card, but I saved $75! I believe that everyone should get a bargain too, so when I hear that you can lower your … (2 comments)
shelton: Tell me how you really feel...
- 06/28/10 03:56 AM
I love the home! If that's how you feel, tell your agent. Too often buyers will take the stance that 'if it's meant to be, it will be' or 'it's ok if we don't get it'. Every agent has had this happen. A client loses a home, either in a bidding war or by not moving on it fast enough or waiting for 'something' to happen that never does. Then they compare every home from that point forward to the home they 'lost'. Buyers need to tell their agent, 'I really want this home' the agent will take the lead from there, preparing and … (3 comments)

If now is the time to buy for you the following five steps will be helpful in your quest to be a homeowner. 1. Get Educated.
