Thinking about investing in Real Estate? Join a local networking group. There are literally thousands of REI (real estate investing) groups all across the country. Join one or two. Participate in a few. Find the ones that have the people and topics that you are interested in. Try to find groups that don't ‘pitch’ products but really educate and mentor you in the areas that pique your interest.

Why Work With A Real Estate Agent? Realtors can be an expert guide. Selling a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language. Call me if you're selling or buying. I can help! :-)

Exaggerations in listings only disappoint... People on dating sites often fudge their age or post a photo that makes them look more athletic than they really are. This works in the short term to capture attention, but when the face-to-face meeting happens, those exaggerated online claims often lead to disappointment. The same happens with real estate listings. Take what you do have and describe the best features of it. Otherwise, buyers may be turned off and disappointed.

First time home buyers... Don’t Buy a Fixer-Upper. It’s tempting to look for the house that you can get at a bargain and flip into a rental property. However, if this is your first property, that’s probably a bad idea. Unless you have a contractor who does quality work on the cheap or you’re skilled at large-scale home improvements you’re likely to pay too much to renovate. Instead, look to buy a home that is priced below the market and needs only minor repairs.

Don't Reject Low-Priced Offers Without Negotiating! Selling your home can feel like giving up something you love, so a low-priced offer can leave sellers feeling insulted. Home buyers base their offer price largely on their own affordability, but will consider raising it if the location is just right or if there is value in renovations already done. Stay open to negotiations and working with the buyer rather than turning down a low-priced offer.

TIP OF THE WEEK: It’s not wise to make any huge purchases or move your money around three to six months before buying a new home. You don’t want to take any big chances with your credit profile.
