8 Questions to ask ANY Real Estate Agent Before You Sign ANYTHING! Find your home at http://www.yourrealestatespecialists.com/View Our Seller Services at www.YourVirtualShowing.comEverywhere you look, there are advertisements for Real Estate, and for Real Estate Agents. We're everywhere! The reason is pretty simple: It's not extremely difficult to get your real estate license, a college degree is not required, and the income potential is pretty high. Unfortunately, this means that there are a lot of BAD Real Estate Agents out there. The BEST way to find a good professional - in any industry - is to ask for a referral from a trusted friend or colleague. This does not, however, mean that any person referred to you is a quality professional - everyone has a brother, sister, aunt, uncle, or... 01/04/2008

Have your housing needs expanded along with your income? Are you are thinking about selling your property and looking for a new home? The transition can be accomplished smoothly by using a systematic approach. As part of your selling strategy, it is advantageous to have your present house under contract before you begin a serious search for a new home. This will make you attractive to sellers in two ways. You won't have to include a contingency in your offer to cover the sale of your present home. You will strengthen your negotiating position by improving your financial circumstance with an accepted offer. In a situation where there are multiple offers on the new home, the chances of your offer being accepted are better if it isn't dependent on selling another house before you can make ... 12/20/2007

There is an old adage that says if you can improve your interest rate by at least two percentage points, then it is a good time to refinance.  While that may work as a general rule of thumb, the truth is there are other reasons to refinance:1. Lower your interest rateSecuring a lower interest rate is one of the top reasons for refinancing.  This can make a big difference in your monthly out-of-pocket costs for housing and save money on financing fees.2. Build Equity FasterIf you are in a position to make higher monthly payments due to an increase in salary or other good fortune, you may want to switch from a 30-year loan program into a 15 or 20-year loan structure.  This enables you to build equity faster and save a tremendous amount of money on financing fees.3. Change your loan progra... 11/27/2007
