Why Should you do a Final Walk-through?
Most people visualized a final walk-though of your home will be done as a vacant property. That is absolutely the case with new-construction, but you may not have the opportunity with a pre-owned home to conduct a final walk-through as a vacant property. You may however, still do a walk-through. I encourage it to be […]
When Does the Negotiation Start?
“The most dangerous negotiation is the one that you don’t know that you are in.” -FBI Lead International Hostage Negotiator Chris Voss. I have seen many times when a seller has set themselves up to be held hostage by the market. What do I mean by this? Everything rests on the basis of the first […]
Expecting Continued Service After the Sale
“It’s what happens after the sale that makes all the difference!” Dasha & Joe bought a fabulous top-level condo with amazing vaulted ceilings.

Need to Update to Sell, but Don’t have the Money

Possession to Your New Home- Negotiation & Issues
You just signed all the documents to purchase your new home. Shouldn’t you get the keys right away? That would be nice, but it doesn’t happen quite that smoothly.

Closing Costs: Should you Budget or Negotiate?
When I ask the question “Have You Budgeted for Closing Costs?” many first-time home buyers give me the ‘deer in the headlights’ look. What are closing costs they ask? When buying a home there are a number of fees that are due. They are usually the costs required to get a mortgage. “Closing costs” is […]
What to know about using your VA benefits.
Thank you for your service to our country. You have earned your benefits. Buying a home with your VA loan is one of them. It seems straight forward. You get a better interest rate and you don’t have to use your own money towards a home purchase, right? I wish it was that simple. There […]
