How to Get Your Free Credit Report

Wednesday, March 2, 2016
by The Hat Team

free credit report

Did you know that you are entitled to a free credit report once a year from all of the major credit reporting companies?  I don’t know about you but that is news to me!  If you are in the market to purchase a new home and have not had your credit report pulled lately you may be happy to find this news out!  By checking your credit report before you purchase a home or for any other reason for that matter you will be able to  see if there is anything on your credit report that is not accurate and remove it and you may also be able to find out if you have been the latest victim of identity theft.  The major credit reporting companies are Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.  If you want to get your yearly free credit report  all you have to do is go to each of these sites and click on “Request Your Credit Reports”.  You can also send a letter to each of the three major credit reporting companies.   A few tips to follow are below.

  • Be sure that if you get on a credit report website and are asked for money that you do not respond. There are many hackers out there trying to get your information and this is just one of the many ways in which they do it. 
  • Do not give out your social security number unless you are on a site that you know is secure. 
  • Check your credit report every four months or so to be sure that your account hasn’t been compromised. 
  • There are credit monitoring companies you can hire to keep a watchful eye on your credit report if you feel it is necessary to do so. 

Again, be sure that you are not asked for any monies when trying to get your free credit report. Be assured that there are many companies out there that claim they will give you a free credit report only to ask you for your credit card information at the very last step.  Step away from those companies and continue with your search until you find one that lets you leave the page without asking for any form of payment.  Once you get your report you can then be on your way to making any changes needed to help improve your score.  When you get your credit where you want it and where it needs to be, the world will open up to you in ways you never thought possible.

Benefits Of Hiring a Realtor When Selling Your Home

Wednesday, February 24, 2016
by The Hat Team

hiring realtor

Selling your home is no easy task and this is especially true if you try to do it without the help of a Realtor.  Realtors are trained to be able to assist you in the purchase of your dream home and it is always a good idea to use them when you are ready to sell your home as well.  Many times folks put their house on the market thinking they can sell it “for sale by owner” but once they do this they soon realize they have bitten off more than they can chew!  In this blog post we are going to talk about why it is important to hire a Realtor to sell your home for you.  

  • Selling your home with a Realtor helping you takes a lot of the pressure off of you.  You won’t have to deal with all of the necessary paperwork and will be able to pay closer attention to the little details of the sale. 
  • If you choose to let a Realtor help you sell your home you will be able to do things such as de-clutter your home before you start showing it.  You may also have time to do some much needed renovations that may help you get more money for your house than if you left the renovations undone. 
  • Your Realtor will be able to get your house onto the internet where it will be opened up to a large market of people.  Your Realtor will also be able to list your home in real estate magazines that are easily accessible to a large number of people. 
  • Many times Realtors will be able upload an online tour of your home.  This is a great way to get your home in front of many prospective buyers. 
  • By hiring a Realtor to help sell your home he or she will be able to negotiate with the potential buyers better than you may be able to do yourself.  Sure you have to pay the Realtor for his or her services but in the long run it is more than worth it.

 If you get a good Realtor he or she will do whatever they can to sell your home and to get the amount of money you need out of the sale. 

Be sure to do your homework before hiring a realtor to sell your home.  You need to choose someone that matches your personality and someone that you can get along well with.  If you decide to hire a Realtor to sell your home, you will likely be very glad you did!

Open House Etiquette

Wednesday, February 3, 2016
by The Hat Team

open house

If you are in the market for a new house, don't be scared to attend open houses in your area.  As long as you go armed with the knowledge of what might be asked of you at an open house you should be ready to answer without worry or hesitation. Keep in mind that Realtors who hold open houses are not like used car salesmen, they are there to help you find the home of your dreams. Be polite and remember your open house etiquette when touring an open house. 

  • You may be asked at an open house how long you have been looking for a home.  This question is only asked to find out just how serious you are about purchasing a home and in what time frame you are planning to do so.  For example if you have already been looking for a few months then you are most likely more than ready to hone in on exactly what type of house you are looking for.  Be very specific with your answer to this question.
  • Another question you may be asked at an open house is if you already have an agent you are working with.  This question is asked because the Realtor wants to know if they can represent you in your search for a new home.  You may be asked who your agent is if you already have one.  Don't hesitate to give out names because all the Realtor wants to do is call your agent for feedback instead of bothering you with such things.  By answering this question you are keeping yourself from having to give out any of your own personal information.  This way you have a buffer between you and the Realtor who is holding the open house.
  • You may be asked if you are looking to buy in the specific neighborhood in which the open house is being held.  The Realtor is not trying to get all into your business by asking this question, he or she is just trying to find out if you really are serious about making a home purchase and what area you are interested in.  Just be honest with your answer, there is no right or wrong answer here. 

The main thing I would suggest to you when attending an open house is that you go in with an open mind.  Be willing to open up and answer any questions you might be asked with a clear honest answer.   You never know you may just be walking right in to your new dream home!

  2. strong household formation (1.4 million households formed in the past four quarters ending in September)
  3. year of solid job creation (an average of 210,000 jobs per month through November)
  4. distressed sales declined
  5. home prices rose 5% to 7% nationally
  6. lower inventory levels and faster-moving inventory every month
  7. affordability remains strong with only marginally higher mortgage rates
