For Buyers

Market conditions have never been better for buyers, but finding the right property, negotiating the best deal, and managing all the details are as complicated as ever. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a current homeowner, or a real estate investor, you need a trustworthy, knowledgable real estate professional to help you through the home buying process. You need an Executive.

Executives Versus Agents

A real estate Executive is more than an agent. An Executive is a trusted source of local information, familiar with every block of every neighborhood, and able to help you understand how and where you’d fit best. An Executive understands local market conditions, so you can make a conservative but fair offer that will get you in the right home at the right price. Above all, an Executive is a professional, with years of experience negotiating deals and managing legal and regulatory red tape. When you’re dealing with an Executive, you can relax and focus on finding the perfect home, knowing you’re in good hands.

The Perfect Home

A home is more than a number of bathrooms and bedrooms. While amenities set baselines and standards for your search, an ideal home is one that meets your needs for things that can’t be measured in bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Style, safety, history, neighborhood character, local schools, cultural resources, and how much you can reasonably afford are just a few of the factors your Executive will consider during your home search. A perfect home should stir your emotions, and an Executive will help you find the home that does just that–without letting emotions get in the way of your negotiations.

Negotiations and Financing

An Executive is an expert negotiator who knows where to start an offer, how far to push, and when to walk away. Executives can also help you understand the “hidden” costs and fees associated with the home buying process to ensure that you don’t get in over your head. Once your offer is accepted, an Executive will walk you through inspections and other contingencies, closing, underwriting, and escrow, so you can move into your new home without any worries.

I’ve included some relevant blog posts and links for your review. If you would like more information on how an Executive can help you find you dream home, please contact me.

Is this a Buyers Market?

While I agree that the interest rates are low, even that is now subject to change. Most First Time Home Buyers are unaware of how few homes are available for a clear cut loan. The prices are great but you have to pay cash or be an investor in order to capitalize on many of the very low priced homes.

I hear a lot of people talking about our market being a Buyers Market and the phrase “Now is the time to Buy” gets thrown around a lot these days. What is not being recognized is that Less and Less homes can qualify for clear cut Financing, even though there is more and more inventory being released

Now IS the time to buy but be aware if you are a first time home buyer that your dream home may not be available to you. Make sure that you talk to your loan company, because the home you want to put an offer on may not be eligible with your loan. It is very important that you educate your buyers, otherwise you or your clients might be quite disappointed.

Information on HUD Homes

HUD Homes are very interesting venue of home buying and I am no expert but I know many and I found out some interesting things about HUD homes that I thought I would share.

Did you know that ANY Real Estate agent can advertise HUD homes because they do not belong to an individual they belong to the government. HUD does appraisals and homes inspections prior to the home actually being listed. But the most interesting is…… Continue reading – Information on HUD Homes

Why Should I Buy a House

Waiting for homes to go down with the Interest rates creeping up is not always wise. As Interest rates climb, this will create a larger home purchase for you in the long run. It has been reported that the 30 year fixed Loan may go away soon and that will create unnecessary challenges for Buyers in this market. 

The Buyers who seemingly missed out and could not buy a few short years ago , are now buying those same homes for HUGE decreased values, Now!  Rents are rising dramatically. So there is no better time to buy, while mortgages are at an all time low. The extremely attractive dollar values for homes gives you the opportunity for equity building, not your Landlord.  Investors are buying the homes. Why? So they can rent those homes out and build equity at the same time.

The question is when is a good time to buy? Two years ago was a good time to buy. Last year was a better time to buy. Now is the BEST time to buy.

Home Inspections 101

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.
