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 […]

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 […]

Which Should You Do – Rent or Buy Your Next Home?

August 30, 2012 by Lara

Are you on the fence about home ownership? It’s no wonder, with all of the negative press these days about the state of the economy and the huge increase in foreclosures. That’s enough to scare off any first-time home buyer. But don’t let that deter you from taking the leap and purchasing a home – […]

Which Should You Buy – Resale or New Construction?

August 28, 2012 by Lara

When it comes home buying, one size definitely does not fit all. As you begin house hunting, the big decision will be whether you want a brand-new home that no one else has lived in or an existing home with some history and maybe a bit of character. When deciding on buying a new home […]
