Home Inspection - a good investment

Oftentimes, buyers believe a real estate professional is a first-line of information about a home. When you work with a buyer's realtor, the person does not necessarily have the same familiarity with the home as the realtor for the seller, and he or she is interested in making the sale. Of course, realtors are obligated by law to disclose known problems...but what about those sneaking things even the seller of the house never knew were going on?

A home inspector can help with these seemingly small problems that can become costly once you own them, such as lead, mold and other structural issues homes may have. There may be moisture in the basement, cracks in the foundation, issues with wiring or house settling that has been structurally unsound. I can recommend a quality home inspector and set you up with a good buyer's representative realtor, then, I can help you negotiate the purchase and sale process and handle the closing--to bring you substantial savings. Give my office a call and we'll work together to keep your investment safe and save you money!

To refi or not refi...

Rates are definitely at all-time lows. If you positioned yourself well and have equity in your home, you may be able to drastically reduce both the time in which you may pay off your mortgage, and also the ultimate cost of borrowing.

I have contacts in the mortgage industry who can help you lower your interst rates and payments, and maybe also the terms of your loan at the same time.

Give me a call and I will work with you to help you save money!
