Homeowners

Short articles of particular interest for Homeowners who maybe considering Buying or Selling a home or property. Owning a Home is one of the most common dreams. Homeownership is, however, not without it's challenges. Let's face it, things worth having aren't cheap and things worth doing aren't easy. But with effort and risk come reward. Home equity and wealth building are ironically not always the primary reason for Homeownership. Many times just being able to decorate your own space is the motivator. Whatever the motivation, questions arise. While it might seem strange to engage a REALTOR® once you own a home, you might be surprised at the potential benefits. REALTORS® know things, they also tend to have quite the network of resources. Plumbers, electricians, decorators, painters as well as people "downtown".(Folks at the Tax office, title company, county, city, etc.) Once again, though the Buying process is over, the REALTOR® comes to the rescue. Most REALTORS® are more than happy to share those resources with Homeowners. You would like to access to that database, wouldn't you? If you didn't have questions, would you even be reading this? Knowledge is power and in todays market we need all the power we can muster. Read through the posts but don't hesitate to reach out with questions. The question on your mind is probably also on the mind of someone else. Let me be a source of information for you. If you need representation, reach out. Having someone protecting your best interests always has value.
