Life is short . . . BUY A HOUSE!

Recently I have helped a string of first time home buyers navigate the waters of foreclosures and short sales to find their new "home." The most challenging thing that most young couples are facing are their expectations for the home buying experience. Thanks to the media everyone thinks that if the house is not being given away you are not getting a good deal. Also the stresses of qualifying for the loan also have your "qualified buyers" jumping through extra hoops to make it to closing. So what is my advice to REALTORS? Be patient. We do this every day and it takes the sting out of the stress of the purchase.

My advice to buyers? Life is short! This is the best market we have seen in years and may be the best for years to come!!! Interest rates are low, and the Obama incentives $8,000.00 are the icing on the cake!!! Do yourself a favor and find a great REALTOR to help you find your home, and know going into it that it will worth it in the end. When we have a seller who wants to sell and a buyer that wants to buy we need to make sure that we can make the end result happen for both parties!
