4 Common Real Estate Myths Debunked
Wednesday, October 12, 2016
If you are in the process of buying or selling a home, you may have already come across some of these common real estate myths. Real estate myths are abundant and are quite prevalent in the real estate world. Below you will find a few real estate myths to be wary of whether you are buying or selling a home.
- Some folks believe that if you don’t use a real estate agent you are likely to get a better deal. This is totally false because no matter which one of you have the agent…one of them is going to get the commission be it the buyer’s agent or the sellers agent. The only way to get around dealing with paying a commission to a realtor is if you sell or a buy a home that is for sale by owner. If you do decide to purchase or sell by owner, be very careful because there are a lot of things that can and perhaps will go wrong when you try to go it alone. Real estate agents deserve all the commission they get because they do a lot of work that you don’t have to worry about doing yourself.
- Another common real estate myth is that you should set your asking price higher than what you expect to make. If you price your home too much above the market value you are likely going to be doing yourself an injustice. Folks are going to pass your home by because they know that it is not in their price range. Setting your home at a reasonable price is a good way to get buyers to show some interest and not be scared off by sticker shock.
- Yet another common real estate myth is that all of the houses listed in the multiple listing systems are all available to look at online. Most of the houses on MLS are listed online but if you don’t tell your realtor that you want your home listed online he or she may not do so.
- Another real estate myth is that having an open house will basically guarantee that you home will sell. While open houses are good to get folks out looking at your house, they don’t always bring the buyer to your door. Typically those that look at your house during an open house are just browsing and likely won’t give you an offer.
Do your part not to let these real estate myths fool you by knowing them ahead of time before you buy or sell a home.

How to Eliminate Smells So That Your House Might Sell
Tuesday, October 4, 2016
If you have recently put your house on the market and want it to sell quickly you may need to take a look at a few of these tips on how to eliminate smells so that your house will be more likely to sell. While selling your home quickly may sound good to you, you may not be thinking about exactly how clean your house smells when you have a last minute showing pop up. If you are caught in a bind with a last minute showing and you need to get rid of a few household odors, be sure to read below for some ideas.
- If you have pets you already know that they have a smell all their own. Pets that may not be house trained yet may be hard to deal with during a house showing. If you need to cover up the smell of pet urine quickly there are several ways to go about it. One way to get rid of pee smell in the carpet is to soak the area with enzyme spray. Another way to get rid of the smell all together (however it may take a bit longer) is to get rid of the carpet once and for all and put in hardwoods.
- Another way to eliminate smells so that your house might sell is to open up your windows while you are cooking. If you know you have a showing one night, be sure to keep your windows open while you are cooking with the hood fan on as well. Another good way to get rid of the smell of a recently prepared meal in your home is to set a bowl of coffee grounds on the countertop over night (if your showing doesn’t happen to be the same evening of course.) If you don’t want to take any chances of having your dinner linger during the showing you could always just go out to eat for the evening.
- Garbage smell in a home is some of the worst odor possible. One easy way to get rid of that particular smell is to be sure and take it to the curb before you leave for the showing.
These are just a few ways that you can get rid of smells in your home so that your showing might go well and you may be more able to sell your home. Hopefully they will get you started in the right direction.

Tips to Assure Your Pre-Approval is Valid
Wednesday, September 21, 2016
.jpg)
If you are in the market for a new home then the very first step you need to take even before you begin your search for the perfect place is to receive a pre-approval on a loan. Most Realtors won’t take you serious about looking for a home until you have your pre-approval. There are a few things that need to take place to assure your pre-approval is valid. If your lender tells you that you are pre-approved within just a few minutes you may want to do some investigation to find out if it’s legitimate pre-approval. Below are a few suggestions about what you need to do in order to receive a pre-approval.
- Submit an application with the lender of your choice
- Provide all documentation that the lender requires of you
- Given the go ahead and approval for the lender to pull your credit
- Your lender must have found that you meet all the credit guidelines. They will look at things such as your debt-to- income ratio as well as your assets.
- The lender will have talked with you about what money you need to have together for closing costs as well as what your mortgage payment will be monthly. Your lender will also go over any or all programs that you may qualify for.
- An automated underwriting must be made by your lender before you can move forward with your loan.
If you have a good lender, he or she will talk with you about the different requirements to get a pre- approval and they may even determine that you need to work on a few things first and give it a bit of time before you apply for a pre-approval. Good lenders will spend the time needed with you to figure out where your finances are so that you don’t end up getting in over your head with a home you cannot afford. Take your time looking for a lender so that you have a good match and one that you can trust. After all, buying a home is a big deal and you need to be able to trust those who are leading you into your future and home ownership.
