However, I find when you work with an<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"441.71152941176484\">Independent Agent like myself you know when you call or email for any questions that you will<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"718.0795882352942\">be getting ME answering all of them and in a timely manner. There is no confusion who will be<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"684.2911176470587\">representing you in your transaction. Being an independent Agent allows me to put all my<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"277.37499999999994\">focus, energy and hard work into my<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"433.9543529411766\">client\u2019s and their Real Estate needs. Although I represent myself and my brokerage, being independent I also work alongside with a great group of Realtors\u00ae. I have a \u201cTeam\u201d behind the scenes. A group of us who work alongside one<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"208.80976470588232\">another for support. As we all know life happens, but I never want my valued clients worried if for some reason I cannot be there, and that is when I have my alliance behind me for coverage if ever needed.

As a new buyer or any buyer, getting a Pre-Approval is a<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"152.06676470588235\">great step. If you already have a Realtor\u00ae in mind, they may have some great referrals to different Mortgage agents they could recommend you to. You will want to get a few opinions to see what options work best for you. With the constant changing Interest<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"53.23735294117648\">Rates, it is a good idea to lock in at the best rate that you can afford. A rate usually lasts when<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"725.4078823529412\">locked in for about 4 months. If you are not sure what other things you should do when looking<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"398.1520000000001\">to buy, these are some other very important factors:<div class=\"textLayer\"><div>&#8211;<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"138.88329411764704\">Saving for a down<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"565.0618235294119\">payment of at least 20%. This will allow you some flexibility on your house<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"125.42011764705886\">hunting journey.<\/div><div>&#8211;<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"689.0088235294119\">Building your Credit Score and having stable Income. Having creditworthiness is a tool that<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"517.027\">lenders must obtain to seek for a mortgage loan. A score of 600 is th<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"204.96847058823525\">e typical minimum lenders<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"726.9182941176473\">look for, however having better credit can positively affect your interest rates. To build a strong<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"704.4672352941176\">credit score, make sure payments are not late, credit cards are low or do not hold a constant<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"265.8697647058824\">balance and limit inquiries on your<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"432.742294117647\">accounts. The biggest advice I can give to buyers is when<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"708.606882352941\">going through your purchase DO NOT make a large purchase such as a new vehicle until after<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"430.486\">your home closes. This may affect getting your financing.<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"390.97288235294127\">Those are some major steps before even considerin<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"323.302705882353\">g purchasing. Once you have a good down<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"695.2369411764705\">payment, good credit and you have a mortgage commitment with a locked in rate, the next<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"721.8649411764708\">step is to consider affordability. Working with your Mortgage specialist and realtor\u00ae determine<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"237.97376470588233\">which locations best suit your a<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"461.08582352941175\">ffordability. Remember, just because you are approved for a<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"696.8219411764708\">certain amount, does not mean you should always purchase at your max. Be sure to budget<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"718.7135882352942\">yourself accordingly. Consider closing costs, lawyer fees and costs of daily living before making<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"80.70447058823528\">the move.<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"637.7107647058825\">Once you are set to go, let the house hunting journey begin. Remember to have fun<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"709.0357647058825\">with it. Try to have the ability to picture yourself and your family in a home and what you can<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"218.84188235294118\">make of your new purchase.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1093\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1093\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How do I know when it is a good time to buy or sell my home?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1093\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1093\"><div data-canvas-width=\"712.5787058823529\">As we know the market is continually changing.

However, when<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"385.91952941176476\">needing to do both, it is not always that simple. Sel<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"334.47229411764715\">ling high in a seller\u2019s market leads to buying<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"671.0144117647059\">high. With a seller\u2019s market inventory to purchase can often be low which in turn causes<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"677.6900588235295\">bidding wars and overpaying. The same happens in a buyer\u2019s market but with so much to<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"264.37800000000004\">choose from prices can often drop.<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"453.2727058823528\">So, you see how the tables can turn in each type of market.<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"695.9455294117647\">The ideal market would be considered a Balanced Market. This is the best time to make the<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"707.3761764705882\">move on both ends. The average sale time when selling your home in a balanced market is 60<\/div><div>&#8211;<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"100.8619411764706\">90 days. This<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"612.0337647058825\">is where we start to see conditions in offers like Financing and home inspections<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"701.3904705882353\">come back into play. This is an ideal market as it allows time in decision making. You will still<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"582.6646470588237\">see your home sell with time and be able to find the next \u201cperfect\u201d home wit<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"127.2848235294118\">hout the rush or<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"711.3666470588234\">fear of losing out which in turn causes inflation in the market by overpaying what the home is<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"678.025705882353\">worth.

As a new buyer or any buyer, getting a Pre-Approval is a<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"152.06676470588235\">great step. If you already have a Realtor\u00ae in mind, they may have some great referrals to different Mortgage agents they could recommend you to. You will want to get a few opinions to see what options work best for you. With the constant changing Interest<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"53.23735294117648\">Rates, it is a good idea to lock in at the best rate that you can afford. A rate usually lasts when<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"725.4078823529412\">locked in for about 4 months.

The biggest advice I can give to buyers is when<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"708.606882352941\">going through your purchase DO NOT make a large purchase such as a new vehicle until after<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"430.486\">your home closes.

Remember, just because you are approved for a<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"696.8219411764708\">certain amount, does not mean you should always purchase at your max. Be sure to budget<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"718.7135882352942\">yourself accordingly. Consider closing costs, lawyer fees and costs of daily living before making<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"80.70447058823528\">the move.<\/div><div data-canvas-width=\"637.7107647058825\">Once you are set to go, let the house hunting journey begin.
