Buyers Looking in the Right Time Frame

Why it is important for buyers not to start looking at homes to purchase before they are ready and still have another home to sell first.

There is still time to get your $8000!

On this mornings Today Show some very frustrating and incorrect information was announced. In the real estate clip it was stated that is was too late to purchase a house and get the $8000 tax credit because ALL home loans now take 60-90 days to close, so you are too late. WRONG!!!! COMPLETELY WRONG!!!! All of my closings are 30 days and even less. This is so frustrating and really annoying. I dont know about other area, but in Wilmington, NC we can get a loan closed in 30 days just like always.

What's wrong with "looking for a house"? Wilmington, NC

Make sure you think about how you are "looking" for a home. Sometimes the looking part gets very clouded and becomes way more difficult than it should. Finding and buying a home should be a fun and exciting process. If not, you need to step back and look at why it is not.

The appraiser WANTS it to appraise, let's make their job easier!

An appraiser's job is not always easy, but it is important to remember that they WANT a property to appraise. It only makes their job more difficult when something doesn't appraise or they cannot get it to appraise with the available comparables.

Lenders reputation or lack of can tell you the bigger story, not what they promise.

When deciding on a lender for you home purchase it is important to keep in mind the reputation, or lack of, that the lender has. Often choosing someone who will cut fees and agrees to this and that, etc, that other lenders will not comes back to bite you at the closing table....if you get that far. Too many times when someone goes with the person who cuts this and that and promises all these things ends up coming to a hault half way through the process when the lender all of sudden says "oh, well that wont actually work, or we can't actually get that rate or do this bc of whatever". You want a lender who is reputable and more importantly someone who will get you exactly what they told you.....no surprises and no oopsie's. Save $300 today maybe cost you $3000 before the process is over.

First time home buyer, not unprepared home buyer.

If you are a first time home buyer, there are a few steps that are important to remember. One being that it is important to ask for advice and opinions from only a few trusted people that you decide will help you with this process. If you talk about your home purchase with everyone you know, friends, family, co-workers, etc you are going to end up with so many different opinions that your head will spin.

I am not a tour guide, this isn't HGTV.

As a Realtor in NC I am required by law to explain to a potential client or any customer, how they will be represented by an real estate agent. You can be represented as a buyer or a seller. As a buyer's agent, most experienced and educated Realtors will require that you work exclusively with them under an exclusive buyer agency agreement. This protects the buyer...if your agent isn't representing you then by law we work for the seller and must look out for their best interests not yours. And it protects the agent, who is not paid hourly or reimbursed for gas or for the time, etc, unless someone purchases a property. As an agent and a real estate consumer/buyer I will only work under this agreement. Why should I be loyal to you if you arent loyal to me?
