Your home is your castle, your own piece of the American dream. But lately your little corner of the world has been feeling cramped and you find yourself eyeing a larger home. Is it time to pull up the stakes and move on from your starter home? Growing Family If you have added to your family in recent years, you may have more people than bedrooms. A two bedroom home may have been a great idea when it was just you and your spouse but with two kids, you are out of space. Overflowing With Stuff When every closet is packed so tightly with shoes and coats you risk an avalanche every time you open the door, your home just does not have the space to keep all your things.

Buying a Condo is Different Than Buying a House

Many buyers assume that choosing to purchase a condominium rather than a house is a decision based upon preference only but there are differences that should be considered. Home Owners Association All condominiums come with some type of home owners association. The HOA generally handles common areas such as landscaping, snow removal, exterior of the buildings and amenities such as a swimming pool or fitness center. Not only are there monthly fees required to pay for the maintenance and repair of the common areas but HOA’s normally have rules that need to be followed. Many condos will not allow fences or sheds to be installed and some have pet restrictions. When purchasing a condo, buyers will weigh the costs and restrictions of each HOA versus the benefits they offer. The HOA [...]

You have spent months looking for the perfect home. You found it, wrote an offer and it was accepted! You already provided your lender with your income and asset statements before you even started looking for a home, so you know you qualify. So what else do you need to do except wait for closing? There are actually several things you still need to do before you can put your feet up! Inspections The very first thing you need to do is schedule your home inspection. Contracts usually allow a buyer seven to ten days to perform a general home inspection as well as more specific inspections.

Many people question the value of a Realtor often wondering if the commissions they receive is worth the time and effort they put in. The simple response is Yes! There are several reasons why Realtors should be used to sell a property. Local Real Estate Knowledge A great Realtor has a lot of knowledge about the local real estate market. They have an understanding of and can provide you with a realistic parameter of what you can expect to sell your home for.

Critical Steps to Buying a Home

By JZ On January 14, 2019 · Add Comment

Purchasing a home is likely to be the largest investment that a person makes in their lifetime. Therefore it is critical to be aware of the steps a purchaser should take when buying a home. Be Credit Worthy Chances are that you will have to depend on a loan to purchase your new home. For this reason, it is important to make sure that your credit is in good shape. A lender makes their decision to finance in a large part upon a borrower’s credit score. This will also impact the interest rates a lender is willing to offer which affects the monthly payment and the overall amount that you will have paid for the home. Save Some Money You should also be aware that most lenders require some type of [...]

  • How You Live

    The home you purchase says a lot about your lifestyle. As new home buyers consider their purchase, they also consider how they want to live in the home. If they love to cook, they visualize making a fantastic meal in their new kitchen. If they love to entertain, they may imagine their friends enjoying a cookout on the patio. If their home is their place of solitude, they may see themselves curled up on the couch with a good book and a glass of wine. Your home is a reflection of you and the way you live. What kind of life do you want to live? Listing your top five interests is a good way to start. For instance, my top five interests are: Real Estate, Cooking, Community, Boating and Health. So my ideal home would be one that is near the water with an open kitchen so that I can cook while entertaining my friends and family! As a Realtor for 14 years, I have helped many home buyers purchase their perfect home! Let The Zingales Team find the home that best fits you and your lifestyle. JZ
