Surveys, Appraisals & Titles... Oh My!


Are you wondering about the steps involved in a real estate transaction?

Your team of real estate professionals is what your Realtor is all about.

We all hold hands to make the transition smooth.

The first step in buying is choosing a lender and getting prequalified and preapproved. I can recommend several lenders to you. The lender orders the appraisal after a contract is ratified.

For closing you'll need an attorney or title company. Again, I can make local recommendations.

If you need a survey, your attorney or title company can order it, but many lenders don't require one. But you may want to know your property lines.

Buyers' Market Is Here!


There are still low interest rates, motivated sellers, and "let's create"!

The only thing that's missing is 100% loans, replaced now by 97% loans.

Some sellers will pay closing costs of 3% which on a $200,000 home amounts to 6%.

Personally I think we're at the bottom of the market now and starting to rise out of it. I'm seeing lots of contingents and pendings now.

So call today as at any time the mortgage market could get tougher and 97% could be replaced by 95% loans. I heard last week from a local lender that they received such notice from one lender already.
