Things to know when buying a house for the first time

by Stefan, posted in Real Estate, on April 13th, 2011

One should know and assess a number of factors before deciding to buy a house for the first time. To begin with, one needs to check their financial status and whether they can afford a new property at the time of recession. Factors like is there a steady job, is there an emergency fund to count on for at least six months and whether there is enough money for the down payment need to be considered.

One should always try and get a well informed and a credible estate broker who could provide the relevant information about the best mortgage lenders. One needs to undertake a special research on them and establish a good relationship with one or two. This might involve opening an account with these two. This provides a great help at the time of buying the house.

One would need a letter of pre-qualification from the banker and would need to know what has to be done in order to do so. The process of pre-qualification is finding out from the lender as to what is required to get a loan to finance a house after discussing the income pattern and assets. Once all this information is provided, the mortgage lender will then give an estimate of what the institution can lend. One can also try and find out what qualifies for a low down payment or no payment at all. Veterans and a few other categories might qualify for this rule.

Advantages and disadvantages of selling a house without agent

by Stefan, posted in Real Estate, on April 12th, 2011

Many of us often wonder whether it is a good decision to hire the services of a real estate agent to sell a house. This is often quite debatable as it depends on a number of factors and the answer might be different in different situations. One example could be if someone lives at a place where it is not possible to search for a potential buyer or even a person is not good at exploring then he could talk to a real estate agent to help in searching for a potential buyer. Contrary to this, if it is easy to get offers from the interested buyers then it is useless to employ the services of an agent.

There are a number of advantages as well as disadvantages of selling a house without a real estate agent. The main advantage of selling without hiring an agent is that one can have complete control in the pricing and marketing of the house and there will be no need to share or pay anything to the agent. The marketing costs are also reduced due to no involvement of the agent. One can be in direct touch with the buyers and this helps in talking to them freely while negotiating prices.
