Delta Township, Grand Ledge Buyers and Sellers Get Real Estate Facts

Sep. 16, 2009

Buyers and Sellers need professional consulting in a challenging real estate market like we have experienced the past few years in Delta Township, Grand Ledge and other greater Lansing areas.  Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. There are many negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings.

Buying a home can be an emotional, time-consuming, and complex process. There are a few things that you can do to help make the process go as smooth as possible. Number one is consulting with a Realtor to obtain all the tools and advice needed to make a smart purchase that will not have disappointing surprises prior to the closing. Attached here you will find four helpful reports on buying a home, which will give you some insight to get started.

Selling a home requires top notch marketing by qualified responsible professionals who understand syndication of properties, search engine optimization, and how to obtain additional exposure using social media, like Blogging, Twitter, and pinging.

In todays real estate market sellers should also expect a complete written report on recent market statistics, that include competiing properties, Solds, and those that did not sell. A Realtor can provide information on market current conditions ike mortgage interest rates, legal issues and year to date information on what is happening in the marketplace. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, a shorter amount of time, and with minimum hassle.

Recommend repairs or cosmetic work
will enhance the salability of your property. First and lasting impressions will net more money for sellers who have shown pride of ownership in their home with clean, spacious rooms, basements, and garage's.

By precreening, providing a pre-approval for a morgage, and consulting potential purchasers with what's involved to buy a home in advance, a professional real estate agent can help prevent unqualified buyers from putting sellers through the emotional roller coaster of time delays and surprises of unworthy credit. A Realtor can objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing

Lastly it's important to have a real estate professional that has a positive attitude, has experienced tough times, knows the market, understands Internet technology, real estate law, has negotiation skills and someone who is not shy about being brutally honest with you about your real estate challenges.

Don’t Be Left Behind, Greater Lansing Home Buyers.

Sep. 7, 2009

Don’t Be Left Behind, Greater Lansing Home Buyers. First time home buyers in the Greater Lansing, Michigan real estate market during 2009 has been around 50 percent. Historically, first-time home buyers account for approximately 35 percent to 40 percent of purchases. This has increased due to the first time home buyer tax credit that expires December 1st.  There is strong support from real estate agents for the Government to extend the tax credit for buying a home. I would suggest caution to make sure you are in contract no later than October 15th to meet the deadline, in the event this program is not extended. If you’re not,  you’ll probably miss out on the tax credit

Long-term mortgage rates were barely changed this week, remaining historically low, which is helping to sustain a high level of affordability in the home-purchase market, said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. Low rates contributed to existing home sales rising for the fourth consecutive month to an annual pace of 5.24 million in July, the most since August 2007, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Buying or selling a home in today’s greater Lansing, Michigan real estate market can be complicated without having the proper expertise and guidance throughout the process. Community information – about services, restaurants, parks, things to do, tourist information, local government and issues, buildings, and development projects, are only a few of the many services you should expect from your Realtor, in addition to the availability of financing. You can obtain additional information on buying and selling at my website.
