  When an offer is made on a house in Kingwood Texas, it's usually accompanied with a check. This check is what is known as an earnest money deposit, made to let the seller know that the buyer is earnest in his or her attempt to purchase the home. An earnest money deposit distinguishes serious buyers from those who aren't so sure about the purchase. The deposit amount is different from one purchase to the next. Many factors can sway the amount of the deposit. In seller's markets, earnest money deposits are often larger than in buyer's markets. This is because properties tend to have more inquiries in seller's markets. Thus, it takes a little more to convince the seller to accept a certain offer.   In a steady or buyer's market, you shouldn't make an earnest money deposit in an amount th... 09/07/2009

1. Don't Get "Pre-Qualified!Do you want to get the best house you can for the least amount of money when buying a home in Kingwood Texas? Then make sure you are in the strongest negotiating position possible. Price is only one bargaining chip in the negotiations, and not necessarily the most important one.

This means that you spend a few minutes on the phone with a lender who asks you a few questions. Based on the answers, the lender pronounces you "pre-qualified" and issues a certificate that you can show to a seller. When dealing with certificates that hold no value, sellers are becoming more wise, so ... 09/04/2009
