Newly Listed Homes Get 3.4 Times More Online Views Than Those With a Price Drop
"It is critical to put your absolute best foot forward the moment your home hits the market. Price it right, include the best quality photos, and make sure all the details are just right. You’ll never be able to replicate the surge of attention your listing gets on its first day on the market."

4 Tips For Finding The Right House When You're Relocating
"There's no getting around the fact that buying a home is a big decision. Conventional wisdom says that, whenever you buy, you should plan to stay in the home for at least five years in order for the financial investment to make sense. That's an even bigger commitment to make when you are unfamiliar with the area in which you plan to buy."

Stay on top of your finances! If you are having trouble with your mortgage, here's what to do.

Here's What To Do If You Get Behind On Your Mortgage
"If you've hit hard times and fallen behind on your mortgage, the most important thing to know is that there is hope. As long as you're willing to talk to your lender, there are plenty of options available to help you avoid foreclosure."

While it’s never a good idea to try and buy a home without the professional representation of a real estate agent, this is especially true with bank-owned homes and short sales.

Real estate transactions can be complicated. Some of the most complicated of all? Distressed properties.

Figuring out how much to offer on a distressed home can be difficult. When was the last time you negotiated with a bank? A bank has a real estate expert on their side; why not have one on yours? In a market of multiple bids and counteroffers, an agent is a must.

Simply put, your agent knows your real estate market and what it takes to buy a home in today’s competitive market.

Agents can help you decide whether you’re getting enough of a bargain to stick with the often time-consuming and frustrating experience of buying a distressed property – or if you should just walk (or run!) away. Having an agent on your side while you’re buying a distressed property is one of the smartest things you can do to make sure your home purchase is a successful one.
