Why Are You Here?

I’m curious about something.
 
You are reading this blog, and I am wondering…why are you here?
 
  • Is this your first visit?
  • Have you been reading for a while?
  • Are you subscribed through the RSS feed?
  • Did you just stumble on this blog or find it through a search engine and are curious?
  • Are you a buyer or a seller, or both?
 
These are all valid reasons for being here, of course, and I hope the reason you ARE here is because you find the information helpful. That certainly is my intent – to provide useful articles for buyers and sellers engaged in a relocation (although certainly many of the posts will still apply even if you are selling and moving nearby) to make their transaction smoother and more effective.
 
From my perspective as an agent (and a consumer), I think blogs like this are great for both buyers and sellers.
 
  • Blogs provide a wealth of free information that can assist you whether you are buying, selling, doing both, or just thinking about it
  • They provide some information that you don’t already have, and give you some important issues to consider
  • And probably raise some other questions.
 
I also like writing blogs because they give the consumer an opportunity to learn more about the services that someone like myself can provide to help you navigate your real estate transaction. And you get to know more about me – who I am, how I work, how I think, what’s important to me, and so on.
 
I always welcome questions, and will share the information with readers in general so that they might learn too. So don’t be afraid to ask.
 
Why are you here? Well, it really doesn’t matter. I’m glad you are, and appreciate that you are taking time to visit and read. I hope you come away with some helpful nuggets. And will come to visit again and again.

First Time Buyers

If you are a first time buyer, owned a home in the past, or perhaps have not bought a new home for many year (things have changed!!), there is some helpful information that may be of interest on my new blog for First Time Home Buyers. There are also some related reports that are free by email on my website.

First Time Home Buyers and Loans

I recently posted an article on my other blog, Fans of Coastal San Diego, about zero down loan programs for first time buyers (or buyers who have not owned a home for 3 years or more). I also talk a bit about secondary loans for downpayment assistance (up to 3% of the purchase price) and assistance with closing costs. Check it out. If you need more information, let me know. I have a great loan person in the San Diego area - can help throughout Cali and other states as well) who would be happy to answer all your questions and help you get approved. These programs are for California, and there are income and other guidelines. But income guidelines are pretty generous for individuals and families. Hope you find this helpful.
