The RULES HAVE CHANGED!  How Critical is Your Credit Score?  I know that we do not like it but in some sense, the lending rules needed some serious reform in order to sift out the people that can and should be homeowners from those who should not have a mortgage.  The American DREAM is not a dream if there is no work patience and responsibility involved in acquiring it. Part of the WORK involved is to have a good credit score.  If you are not somewhere in the range of a solid 620 or higher, you will probably NOT get a mortgage.  I recently had a potential home buyer make the remark that her credit was SO bad that she did not even think that she had a credit score.  Another person wanted to know if he could "add up several peoples scores to accumulate a 620 score."  The fact is....YOU mu...

  Now that we have submitted an offer and it has been EXECUTED, there are some Last Minute Details  that we want to address as we move forward.  Both the buyer and seller have agreed upon the terms and are moving forward with the purchase so we need to keep the ball rolling.  Upon EXECUTION, the clock begins to tick and "time is of the essence."  We more than likely put into the contract a "10 day OPTION PERIOD" for a minimal fee.  (usually $100)  This is inexpensive insurance that gives you 10 days to perform your inspections, and further investigate the property.  If for any reason you decide to walk away from the deal, you only forfeit $100.  This is probably one of the most challenging periods of time during the whole transaction for everyone involved.  Once the OP or OPTION PERIOD ...

I spent a few hours on two back to back days with a client who was looking quite seriously at purchasing within the next month or so.  This couple wrote the book on HOME BUYING TIPS that are good for us all  to remember.  They were not in a huge hurry but they were serious. They were renting and under no pressure to leave his lease.  For he and his wife, the time had come to purchase their own home...again....they had owned homes in the past and thought that they would try renting a house.  They did not like it after a few years so it was time to end the experiment and get back into the swing of home ownership. There were a few things that impressed me about this buyer.  He carried with him a notebook and a camera.  Each home that we looked at, he not only took a LOT of notes about it b...

What in Heavens Name is PMI and Do I Even Need It?  Seems like almost everything concerning real estate has an acronym so it is easy for the consumer at times to ignore the things that they do not understand.  This could however be a costly mistake as some of these ACRONYMS cost you your hard earned money.  PMI would be one example of this.   In short, PMI stand for Private Mortgage Insurance.  It is insurance that lenders require on most loans that are more than 80% of the homes value.  So, if you put less than 20% down on the purchase you are normally required to pay PMI.  Depending on the value of the loan, this can add up to a substantial amount of money every year as it is in addition to the Interest and Principal payment every month. What does PMI do?  It is designed to protect th...

There is no question that there are many considerations for the purchase of a home.  Yes, IT IS A BIG DEAL!  You are about to make probably one of the biggest expenditures and long term commitments of your families lives.  It needs to be approached carefully and with the guiding hand and council of a professional Realtor like myself.  This is the one time time that you cannot afford to make a mistake.  Surrounding yourself with professionals will in fact cost you some dollars up front but it can save you untold thousands down the road.   Another fact of surrounding yourself with professionals is that it will in fact save you TIME AND MONEY.  I had a client a few weeks ago supply me with a list of 25 homes that he wanted to go and "look at."    He and his wife needed to make a purchase i...

I remember the first time that I did IT.  Do you?  I was in LOVE and had pretty much made up my mind that I was going to do IT no matter what anyone else said or thought.  I met her at the house and we did it, right on the kitchen table no less.  A few friends tried to council me NOT to do IT but I was not listening.  It was quite an exhilarating experience.  I remember getting flush all over, my heart was racing, should I or shouldn't I, what will my mom and dad think, what will my friends think, for that matter, what will my priest even think.  Am I doing the right thing?   And then it happened.....I picked up the pen right in front of her....my Realtor .....and signed the contract to purchase.  The deal was consummated and I had just begun the process of purchasing my first home.  Wi...
