YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
During our first face-to-face meeting, my buyer looked me straight in the eye and stated, “Val, I watch those Home Shows, and the REALTOR® always shows a house above the buyer’s price range.” Showing frustration, she asked, “Why do they do that?” Noticing that her guard was slightly elevated, I explained (for one), that’s theContinueContinue reading “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR”

“You did WHAT before closing day?!?” Here’s a list of things that can KILL YOUR MORTGAGE LOAN APPROVAL: 1) Car shopping- “BIG NO-NO!” Once you have a mortgage pre-approval, it’s not a good idea to shop for a sports car. The credit check alone can “ding” your credit score. Let’s say you need a 620 FICOContinueContinue reading “The Mortgage Murder”
THE INTERVIEW – A true story
The other day, I received a call from Mr. Seller. Mr. Seller was referred to me by an acquaintance. Mr. Seller started the “phone interview” by saying he was looking to sell his house and he had ONE very important question for me.

HOUSE-HUNTERS
HGTV is my MTV and “House-Hunters” is one of my favorite “music videos!” HGTV has been airing “House-Hunters” over and over and over again. The scenarios with each couple are also repetitive. On each episode, there are two people buying a home for the first time. They have THREE categories to seriously consider… 1. Price 2.ContinueContinue reading “HOUSE-HUNTERS”
