Happy Monday,

Here is a quick reminder if you're planning on buying a home in the future.

There are many people that when planning to buy a home only budget for the Down Payment and completely forget about closing costs. Closing costs are different fees that are necessary to close a transaction like the recording of title, title insurance, underwriting fees, etc... and they range from 1% to 3% of the purchase price.

Closing costs can be negotiated in the sale and have the sellers pay for the home however every case is different and unique and it will take preparation to do this.

As always, if you have any questions I'm a message away.

Saving for a down payment is a key step in the homebuying process, and it’s not the only piece you need to include in your budget. Another factor that’s important to plan for is the closing costs required to obtain a mortgage. What Are Closing Costs? According to Trulia, “When you close on a h...

When you write an offer on a home, you're basically saying, "Dear Mr. Seller, I've seen your home, I like your home and I want to buy it, however my offer is contingent upon a few things... I'm not a contractor and I don't know a lot about construction, I'm not an electrician, I'm not a plumber, so I would like to get a home inspection to make sure all these things are in working condition.."

The beauty of a home inspection is that it allows for a second round of negotiations if there are issues with the home. It's extremely important that you talk to an experienced agent to guide you through this negotiation process.

If you have any questions please reach out to me!

You made an offer and it was accepted. Your next task is to have the home inspected prior to closing. Agents often recommend you make your offer contingent upon a clean home inspection. This contingency allows you to renegotiate the price you offered for the home, ask the sellers to cover repairs

Many buyers back away from condominiums because of the HOA cost. About 90% of buyers that I talk to want a single family home and run away from condos because of the HOA.

Something to keep in mind is that an HOA can actually be a good thing depending on your life-style. Some HOA costs can be a little to expensive in my opinion, however, there are some complexes that have a very reasonable HOA cost and the condo purchased could be a very good real estate investment.

An HOA will take care of certain damages to the property like the roof and exterior paint. Also, it'll take care of the landscaping to keep the outside of your home always looking nice. A single family home is a lot of work to maintain if you are a busy person and specially if you're single.

If you are a first time homebuyer and want to get your foot into real estate, give me a call!

When searching for a home, you may end up selecting a property in a community with a Homeowners Association (HOA). Before you buy, it’s important to know how an HOA works and what they mean for you. According to a recent article on realtor.com, “In a nutshell, an HOA helps ensure that your commu

Are you renting right now?

Buying your first home may not be as far into the future as you think.

I've had clients in the past think that they don't qualify for much, but then were surprised to see that they qualified for more than they expected.

It doesn't hurt to speak to an experienced lender and get one step closer to owning a home.

Send me a message if you have any questions about the process.

Some Highlights: According to the US Census Bureau, “millennials” are defined as 18-36-year-olds. According to NAR’s latest Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the median age of all first-time home buyers is 32. More and more “old millennials” (25-36) are realizing that homeownership is w

Have you ever thought about re-financing your home?

If you have built equity over the years then it may be a good decision, however, it really depends on why you want to do it.

With interest rates being the lowest they've been in a couple of years, re-financing may allow you to pull money out of the home while still keeping a very similar monthly payment.

Please send me a message if you have any questions, I work with a very experienced lender that can consult you on the best path to take.

With the recent lower interest rates, many homeowners are wondering if they should refinance. To decide if refinancing is the best option for your family, start by asking yourself these questions: Why do you want to refinance? There are many reasons to refinance, but here are three of the most
