Why I Ask my Buyers to Get Pre-Qualified Copy

February 15, 2019 by Lara

You have been wondering, maybe even dreaming of owning your own home. You just aren’t sure how it works, how you could afford it, what you have to do. I was there once. When my husband and I bought our home, many moons ago, I was not in real estate, and I had the same […]

Should I Get a Survey?

April 4, 2016 by Lara

There are so many expenses when you buy a home.  Some of those things are optional, such as: home inspection, radon test, lead based paint test, well & septic tests, and surveys.  So, how do you decide what to do when something is “optional?”  Today I want to specifically focus on one, the survey.  How do you […]

Buyers, Did you know that my services are FREE?

April 1, 2016 by Lara

There is no such thing as a free lunch, but you can get a free Realtor(R)! I recently took a call from a gentleman who was looking at investment property.  He wan’t calling on my listing but found me online and wanted to ask how much a house was listed for that he drove by […]

I’ve Seen it All, but not EVERY house!

March 18, 2016 by Lara

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m a real estate agent not a shape-shifting, time-traveling superhero who can be everywhere at once and has encyclopedic knowledge of every home for sale right up here (psst! I’m tapping my forehead to indicate my all-too-human brain).  That said, I am a really good real estate agent with a proven track […]

How Do I Get in to See that House?

March 4, 2016 by Lara

I recently had a client ask me: “How do we get in to see that house?”  It reminded me that Real Estate can be so confusing, so how do you get in to see that house? You drive by a house with a sign in the yard that catches your eye, or you find it […]

How Do I Get an Agent for FREE?

February 19, 2016 by Lara

“Buyers, did you know my services are FREE?”  I explained what I can do for you as a buyer’s agent that doesn’t cost you anything. So, how does that work?  Nobody works for free, right?  Right!  I don’t actually work for free, that would be nuts.  I do get paid, just not by the buyer. In […]

Why You Don’t You Get The Keys To Your New House…

September 16, 2014 by Lara

You are at the attorney’s office, you just signed a bunch of paperwork promising to pay your mortgage.  So, why aren’t you getting the keys? Quite simply, the house isn’t yours…yet.  When you go to the attorney’s office and do all the paperwork that is called “settlement.”  The house isn’t your until “closing.”  Closing is […]

How to Get More Dirt on Any House Than What is Online

September 9, 2014 by Lara

Finally, you think you have found the house you want to buy!  It is in your price range; it has the fireplace you dreamed of, and it is close to work.  The house looks good, but you aren’t sure what the neighborhood is like.  Do they socialize? Are they fun?  Does everyone keep to themselves? […]

What is PITI?

August 13, 2014 by Lara

The real estate and mortgage industry have their own language. I guess that is true of most industries. Sometimes we do a bad job of making sure others understand what the heck we are talking about. PITI is one you should know if you have a mortgage, are thinking about getting a mortgage, or if […]
