However, it also requires a huge commitment and investment, and can have repercussions in your life for years to come. That’s why I want to share my three top tips to help first-time homebuyers protect themselves during this crucial period: 1. Know what you can afford The fact is, your mortgage is only a part of what you will need to pay when you buy a home. Homeownership comes with other expenses as well, including closing costs, taxes, property insurance, maintenance costs, and homeowner association fees.  Once you have a clear idea of all of these items, you can compare this to your stable income and your current monthly expenses. This way, you can figure out the kind of home you can honestly afford, without getting carried away, and without getting bogged down in debt. 2. Choose your lender ...

Search all homes for sale Two out of three of us have a pet, and 61% of pet owners say they have trouble finding a home that is a good match for their pet. In fact, a recent survey noted that 31% of animal owners don't put in an offer because a home would not suit their pet. This means that if your home is a good match for a pet, it will be attractive to animal owners. On the other hand, 67% of Realtors also estimate that having a pet in your home can make it harder for you to sell. So what should you do? There are three things I typically recommend: Number one, repair any damage From the floors, to the walls, to the doors, and the yard — these are areas that pets love to chew on, scratch at, and dig up. Repairing this damage is an investment that will pay for itself many times over in terms of a highe...

However, accomplishing that feat isn’t as easy as it sounds. How do you ensure that your next sale goes for top dollar?

They’re likely to bid up properties that are slightly underpriced, especially in places with low inventory. 2. Hire a real estate professional.

Looking to sell your Home? Get a FREE home value report Looking to buy a Home? Search all homes for sale Last week, CNBC ran an article quoting self-made millionaire, David Bach, explaining that not purchasing a home is the biggest mistake millennials are making, because buying real estate is an escalator to wealth. Bach went on to explain that if millennials don’t buy a home, their chances of actually having any wealth in this country are little to none. The average homeowner to this day is 38 times wealthier than a renter. According to Bach, as a renter, you can easily spend $500,000 or more on rent over the years, and in the end, wind up right where you started, owning nothing. Or you can buy a house, spend the same amount paying down a mortgage, and wind up owning your own home free and clear. “ If you want to gain wealth, you need to quit renting. ” ...
