Now is the right time to buy!

Buying a Home in A Challenging Market –

What’s most important



You want to buy a house. Fantastic – Go for it…. Now is a great time to buy.. Inventory is at a high, interest rates are at a low, prices are reasonable and it is a true buyers market.



Now more than ever it’s important that you work with an experienced residential real estate agent that knows the area, is up to date on market trends and is an advocate for you every step of the process.

Your agent will give you all the tools you need to make a smart buying decision in this market, including:



1) Homes currently available, ones that have just come off the market or ones that may come available in the near future.

2) Analysis of recent sales, market statistics and pricing trends to prepare for an offer and negotiate in your best interests

3) Lenders, Inspectors, Attorneys and service providers that will assist you as the contract terms are satisfied



The most important thing to remember as you buy a home now is that it will be your home, a place where you spend holidays, make memories and relax. The buying process should be fun, informative, exciting and most of all rewarding.

If you’re ready to buy a home but haven’t made the move to do so, please let us know what’s stopping you?

Would you get your hair cut at the Barbershop?

Who do you call?

These days we are inundated with information and options. Want a haircut- Google can find 20 barbers in a 5 mile radius faster than a speeding bullet. BUT- the real question- what will you look like when you walk out of that salon door? It is crucial to know your service providers are the best of the best. The key is to get referrals- I always reach out to friends, family, coworkers, mailmen- you name it- to find out what kind of service I can expect. In today's wacky real estate market-you have to ensure you are using the best Realtor to fit your needs. Instead of using your mom's best friend's 2nd cousin's daughter as your agent- talk to a Realtor's past clients to see how that agent operates in a "real estate relationship"- does he know various areas or just one? Are emails and phone calls returned promptly? is she a barracuda at the negotiating table? Does he always talk about himself in the 3rd person? These are the things that can really impact your transaction... (my experience: always avoid people who refer to themselves in the 3rd person)
