It's Time to Own Your Own Home

In my experience, many people who live in apartments continue to do so because they feel that they connot afford to own their own home. In fact, if you're like most people, you can't afford not to.

The advantages in home ownership can make more financial sense, in both the short and long term, than continuing to pay rent each month with nothing to show for it. By owning a home, you build equity and are able to deduct the interest from your income tax. Also, you can now remodel and decorate to suit your own tastes.

And with current market conditions, home ownership is now more affordable than ever. Now is the time to own your own home!

Planning ahead

It's hard to believe that January 2010 is half way over. Before you know it, Spring time will be upon us. Have you thought about preparing for the season as of yet. How about planning out your flower beds, getting around to the "honey-do" items that we all have. With a little thought and preparation during the cold months, you and your house will be ready as soon as the dafodils start to bloom.

Why a Real Estate Agent?

For Most people, a house is the largest investment they will ever make. Yet when it comes time to sell that investment, some will choose to do so on their own, without the help of a real estate professional. These do-it-selfers; are known as FSBO's or "for sale by owners."

While it may be tempting to go it alone, many actually end up listing their home with a real estate agent in the long run. That's because an agent offers many advanatges such as:

1. Local Market knowledge.
2. Negotiating Skills
3. Exposure to listing/Selling sites
4. Ability to prequalify potential buyers

These are just a few of the invaluable skills a trained professional can bring to the table. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at anytime.
