first time home buyers: Find You Niche and Focus - 07/23/19 07:58 PM
Find Your Niche and Focus!
 
This real estate business has so many different avenues to follow.  Residential. Commercial.  Multi-family.  Rentals.   No matter what you decide to do, find your niche and focus.
I see so many new agents flounder and leave the business before they even find their niche.  Years ago, I  dabbled in commercial real estate and found that I didn't have the knowledge or focus to understand that part of the real estate industry.  It was exciting to run with a different type of clientel, but I kept finding myself coming back to my roots.....helping buyers and sellers find and sell … (2 comments)

first time home buyers: Costly Mistakes First Time Home Buyers Are Making In The Springfield Market - 04/25/10 01:34 PM
Costly Mistakes First Time Home Buyers Are Making In The Springfield Market As the Stimulus package draws to a close, many first time home buyers have not taken advantage of the Stimulus money and here's a few reasons why:
Many have bad credit scores.  Abusing their credit has caused some first time home buyers to be denied on their loan.  
Shopping for furniture, cars and other items before closing on their home.  Overextending their credit before closing, can cause buyers to be denied on their loan.  
Failing to save enough for a down payment.  Some loan programs still allow … (4 comments)

first time home buyers: There Is Movement In The Springfield Real Estate Market! - 01/29/10 07:23 AM
There Is Movement In The Springfield Real Estate Market!
Seven of the eight Springfield homes I marketed in North Valley Estates in Springfield went under contract in January. 
Price ranged from $110,000 to $149,000.  These were only a few years old, but included stamped concrete driveways, open floor plans, more square footage, with a great location. 
The highest priced one was a finished walkout basement, that recently had new carpet and paint added to it. 
Wonderful buy, now just waiting for the right home buyer.  Just down the street, new homes are being completed, with less square footage, less amenities, … (0 comments)

first time home buyers: First Time Home Buyers - There's Still Money Available - 09/27/08 02:38 PM
I love working with first time home buyers selling Springfield Mo real estate.
For those of you that have worked with first time home buyers and now are unable to find 100% financing for homes in rural areas, I have a great lender that can still work with these clients. 
Working with first time home buyers has been easy over the past few years.  Now, with the banking industry tighening up on these groups, finding financing is difficult.  Many will now have to save to put money down of their own, or have a co-signer with money down.
