Why You Should Have A Pre Inspection Before Listing
Without a pre-inspection of your home, you're risking exposing surprises throughout the home and a loss of interest from buyers. This kind of lack of due diligence affects sensitive time during the selling process.

Why A Home Warranty Coverage Is Important
A home warranty coverage is crucial when listing a property for sale. If something breaks or fails during a listing period, as a seller, you may be stuck with the large bill, and worse, you could lose the interest of a buyer who is also surprised by the damage to the home.

A Key Benefit of a Home Inspection
I share an example where a client of mine was about to buy a home but after a home inspection, an outdated roof was revealed. Plus, there were leaky spots and other cosmetic issues.

The benefits of a thorough home inspector as a seller is also crucial. In this situation, the seller lost time and potentially a seller due to the oversight. As your realtor, I'll make sure you pass a 4-point inspection without any surprises when accepting buyers.

What To Expect When Buying Or Selling A Home During Coronavirus
I discuss with my client what to consider when buying or selling a home during a pandemic. During an outbreak like Coronavirus, as realtors, we must uphold the highest level of safety for our clients.

As a buyer, I'll help you manage those expectations before we go to any public open houses. As a seller, I'll help you prep your showing so any guests who enter are wearing protective coverings and limiting their amount of touchpoints within the home.

Become A More Knowledgeable Home Owner This Year
Prior to purchasing a home, make sure the home will meet your needs for the years ahead. It is a long-term financial commitment, so be sure to check the must-have items off your list.
Before you purchase a home, make sure it will meet your short and long term needs so you’re satisfied with the decision even after closing day.
Check Off The Must-Haves
Are you considering an open floor plan? Although it’s the most sought after feature for many homeowners, will you feel like the room is too much of a shared space or lacks privacy?
Think about day-to-day experiences with your loved ones or with other friends and family members who visit. Picture your holidays and weekends and see how comfortable you feel at the thought of the house’s layout.
Laundry Upstairs or Downstairs?
An upstairs laundry room can be convenient to some, but could turn into an irritation with noise. Do you have kids who track in dirt often? How about pets? What layout fits your habit most when it’s been a long day outside?
Pools
Pools are wonderful for entertaining and also enjoying the outdoors to cool off on a hot day. But are you ready to keep up with the maintenance? Typically maintenance costs can run up to $100/month if you prefer to hire a professional.
Hardwood or Carpet
Hardwood floors or high-end vinyl is more commonly appreciated than carpet nowadays. With more household pets, carpets can lead to more mess and hassle. A smaller private room may be most comfortable with a carpet to dig your toes in after a rough day. Bathrooms of course are more commonly seen without carpet but if you live in a cooler environment year-round, should you have heaters installed?
Ask yourself, what do I like to step on when I run through the house or when I tiptoe in?
These are a few items to consider when looking for that next place to call home.
Have You Received A Financial "Gift" For Your Home?
As the student loan crisis continues, many homebuyers need to realize (especially first timers), that buying a home comes with a lot of upfront costs.
Many (first time) buyers must realize that buying a home comes with a lot of upfront costs. These include inspections, appraisals, down payment, closing costs, and any necessary repairs or wish list items that may come thereafter.
In most cases, buyers ask Mom and Dad for some help.
Gifting Is Common
On average, parents or relatives are giving (gifting) approximately $39,000 to assist their children with their home purchase or to alleviate the buyers’ down payment amount and/or down payment. A gift letter is required if financing is involved. This states, the funds deposited in the buyers’ account are provided as a “gift.” The lender would require this letter to be provided with the proof of deposit into the buyers’ account; however, there are no expectations for the money to be repaid to the gift giver from the lender. The lenders require this letter due to their own bookkeeping for the financing allotted to contribute to the buyers’ purchase.
Realistic Expectations To View Your Home As An Investment
When buying a home, it’s important to keep in mind that houses are bought as wealth-building tools to avoid throwing your money away on rent.
When you buy a home, you are buying a wealth-building tool to avoid throwing your money away on rent. Although there will be booms and busts, your home’s value most likely will not outpace inflation. Overall, however, you’re saving your money instead of throwing away monthly rental payments.
Your Home’s Expenses
The purchase of your home is not the only cost you should be prepared for. Expenses such as annual insurance, taxes, and maintenance, should also be part of your budget plan. After calculating these expenses, factor in estimated costs you would be paying in rent and deduct your annual expenses. This will give you a more accurate figure for your return on your annual investment.
Your Leverage In The Market
Owning a home builds equity. Similarly, margin trading boosts stock market returns. Utilizing a mortgage for leverage can boost the cash-on-cash return of a real estate investment. With this leverage, there are risks, but it’s important to compare and consider a real estate return as if you are paying cash.
