One of the best things you can do for yourself if you are looking to buy a new home is to get pre-qualified. Getting pre-qualified tells you approximately how much home you can afford to buy based on your credit, income, and assets. You might find that you can buy more of a home than you really want to pay in a mortgage payment. The other might be true in that you find that you do not qualify for as high of a mortgage payment as you think you can make. As a Realtor, this step is key to my success in working with Buyers. I encourage you to contact one of our preferred lenders and get pre-qualified today.
Please contact Dana Bryant at Home Loan Services by clicking on the link below and get Pre-Qualified today!
Living near a vacant home doesn’t have to mean putting up with overgrown grass and unshoveled snow. Does your community use these eight common local laws, programs, and regulations to force owners to maintain vacant homes?
With the foreclosure crisis, you may have noticed a vacant home or two on your block. Rather than see the home free-fall into disrepair, push local officials to take action before the untended house lowers the value of your own home. Continue reading →
With foreclosure rescue scams widespread as more homeowners fall behind on mortgage payments, be smart if you seek help.
A record high 2.8 million properties were hit with foreclosure notices in 2009, putting even more Americans at risk of facing foreclosure rescue scams. Homeowners who fall behind on mortgage payments need to tread carefully when seeking assistance, since foreclosure rescue scams come in many guises. A day spent researching legitimate options, from a mortgage modification or principal forbearance to a short sale or deed-in-lieu, could keep you from becoming a scam victim. Continue reading →
Foreclosure counselors can make the difference between losing your home and keeping it. Here’s how they work and how to choose one.
If you’re facing foreclosure, your foreclosure counselor will be a key part of your foreclosure team. As you start looking for one, however, you need to know what exactly they do, what they don’t do, and how to choose one who’s legitimate and qualified.
What a foreclosure counselor does
• Reviews your finances

• Explains your non-foreclosure options, such as loan modification, short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure; helps you navigate the process with any chosen option

Add attic insulation to lower heating and cooling costs by as much as $600 per year.
Save about $600 per year by boosting the amount of attic insulation from R-11 to R-49. Depending on the type of materials you use, figure on paying an insulation contractor about $1,500 to insulate an 800-square-foot attic, which pays back your investment in three years. You’ll spend about half that to do the job yourself.
Do you need more attic insulation?
A good, quick way to check if you need insulation is to look across your attic floor. If the existing insulation comes up just to the tops of the joists, then you probably need to add insulation. If you can’t see the joists and the insulation is well above the tops of the joists, you’re probably okay and you won’t recoup the cost of adding more. Continue reading →

According to a study conducted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) in 2001, 97 percent of home buyers who received home inspections believe they received a good value for their money. A home’s history gives it character and charm, but also takes a toll.
Over time, roofs sag, mortar cracks, and furnaces lose efficiency. Beyond this normal wear and tear, older homes can harbor mold, water damage, termites, or other structural threats that can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix. Continue reading →
