What does it cost me to have you as my buyers agent? ZERO - NADA - ZIP - ZILCH Choosing an agent can be confusing, especially when there are so many to choose from. Among questions about an agent's experience, local market knowledge credentials.  Here are nine questions to ask an agent before deciding he or she is the right one for you. Do you work full-time or part-time as a real estate agent?   Full-time work typically means more attention for you. How well do you know the area(s) I am interested in?   An agent who specializes in the area in which you are interested is preferable. He or she will be able to advise you as to home prices and how quickly you'll need to act based on the demand in that area. How many other buyers are you representing now?     The busiest agents often are t...

Low Prices, Low Rates = Opportunity The best time to buy something is when no one else wants it = yes, another Opportunity Housing prices have fallen dramatically all over the country and rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are already close to 5 percent. Experts say it's possible, with government encouragement, that rates will fall as low as 4.5 percent. I believe this is the way the market will go. So ...... Now is the time for buyers to step up. Here are some things to consider: •    Prices have always softened in the winter. As temperatures fall, bargain hunters will have bigger then usual opportunities. •    New homes are likely to become scarce. Ian Shepherdson, chief United States economist for the research firm High Frequency Economics, said he believes that a steep drop-off ...

A bit of good news for low-down payment financing.  FHA requires 3.5% down, and that can be a gift.        The revised 2009 limits for the Chicago MSA are as follows:         One-Unit:   $410,000       Two-Unit:   $524,850       Three-Unit: $634,450       Four-Unit:  $788,450     Evan Geiselhart President Giving You the Keys to Success!  847-517-1700 Phone847-517-1711 Fax847-571-8136 Mobileegeiselhart@hometrustmortgage.com HomeTrust Mortgage Corp.1475 E.

The Power of 3 What’s the most asked question that I receive from people about real estate?  What’s the #1 tip that I could pass along? Well there’s actually 3 things that are enmeshed together – location, price and condition.  All 3 actually make your home either sell or be rejected by prospective buyers. So a real estate mantra in case you don't know it: Location, location, location! There's that 3 again but there is a reason that it is used over and over.  Nobody listens! The location of your home makes a 'price' difference to buyers from the town that it's in,  the street that it's on and the school district the kids will be attending. Obviously different towns have different socio-economic benefits for living there.  Maybe you need the train to go to work?  Maybe you've grown up in...

Well there’s actually 3 things that are enmeshed together – Price, condition, location.  All 3 actually make your home either sell or be rejected by prospective buyers. Price - Obviously in this market with the elevated inventory you have to be ‘spot on’ with your homes price.  Too high and no one will take your home seriously and it will be passed over.  Too low?  Well that really doesn’t happen too often except in distress sales, foreclosures and the like.  A fair price – what a seller is willing to accept and a buyer is willing to pay.  That’s what we normally strive for. When an agent puts your home on the market, it has to be sold three times. The ...

Why is it so tough to find an interest rate payment chart?This is another post in the 'Real Estate 101'series where I have attached an interest rate payment chart for buyers interested in knowing what a payment would be with each interest rate jump either up or down. You wouldn't think in this day and age that it's a big deal - but it is!  I've went to countless mortgage websites, both big and small, and came up short.   We've got plenty of fancy 'calculators' but nothing where you can actually see 5% is ???  5.5% is ???   I've got bad credit so mine is 6.5%.This is a classic example where you can see WHY your credit report score is so important to your payment.  If your credit score has a few bumps in the road it definately means you are paying a higher interest rate and you should wor...
