The True Meaning of the Holidays

As the Holidays approach and we look forward to spending time with friends and family, it’s important the think about the less fortunate among us who may be struggling this Holiday season. Though the housing crisis is over in many areas, and there are areas that are flourishing again, countless homeowners still find themselves owing more on their mortgage than their home is worth or are unable to make their monthly mortgage payments.
 

It’s our duty as friends, neighbors and family to offer assistance to those who need help during the holidays. If you know of anyone who is struggling with their mortgage, let them know that there are options available to them. As a CDPE®, I can help. My services are free. Please don't let someone you know is struggling suffer through the Holidays with an unmanageable mortgage. Have them contact me so that they can learn their options.

Thinking about selling? What can an agent do for you.

If you’ve thought about selling your home but wondered what exactly a qualified real estate agent can do for you, here are just a few examples of why using a real estate agent makes sense.

First, an agent is a market expert. He or she has access to valuable home price information in your neighborhood or area, and knows how to value homes so that they’ll sell. An agent handles the paperwork in what is typically a complicated transaction. An agent knows when a buyer isn’t serious or unqualified, so you don't have to waste your time. An agent is a rational advisor, and an expert negotiator—good agents understand when to make concessions and when to hold out for more. An agent can market your property better than you could alone, as he or she typically has access to a number of sites and marketing strategies that increase the exposure of your home and present it in the best light. An agent has a network of trusted professionals, such as appraisers, inspectors, contractors and mortgage brokers that you’ll need along the way. Lastly, if you’re behind on your mortgage or underwater, a qualified agent such as a CDPE® knows your options and can help you avoid foreclosure.

This is what an agent can do for you. If you’d like to know more about today’s market, please contact me and I’d be glad to share my local and national expertise.
