How we helped Patricia find a home by being open and honest

 
"He found what I was looking for! He did an awesome job. When we were looking at houses, he was always honest about what repairs the home needed, because we weren’t prepared to make all of the repairs. I really appreciated his honesty!"

What's the Best Strategy for Dealing with Multiple Offers?

Hey everybody, what I want to talk about today is dealing with multiple offers. We are seeing multiple offers at a tremendous rate in Louisville right now.  Our market is hot, our inventory is low, and it's almost like they are printing money with such low interest rates out there.

One thing you need to understand about the Louisville market is that competition for good homes is fierce right now. In this economy, you may get asking price or even higher, and you're likely to receive multiple offers.

When it comes to receiving multiple offers, the biggest and best offer is not always the biggest and best, and cash is not always king. These offers need to be broken down into the particulars, like time, financing, and if cash really is cash, and not equity or a $401k.

You need an expert to help navigate through all of the difficulties that arise when it comes to accepting the right offer. If you have any questions, we would love to answer them. Give us a call or send us an email, we'll talk to you soon!

Hey folks, today I want to talk to you about one of the questions I am asked the most: "Is now the best time to buy a home?"

When it comes time to decide whether you should buy a home or not, it depends on your personal situation. But I can tell you this: the experts say yes. We know that interest rates will continue to rise. Just this last week, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said in a recent address that the rate hike will come gradually, and interest rates will start to creep up come September.

When you do decide to purchase a home, you are going to have to pay a mortgage no matter what. With prices and interest rates continuing to rise, wouldn't it make more sense to pay the mortgage at a lower interest rate, like one that you could lock in now?

I have access to a database of real estate information that’s not widely available to the public. Over at Keeping Current Matters, they have just recently released their Spring Report, and it looks like the experts agree now is the time to make your move. Here’s why:

• Prices will continue to rise.
• Mortgage interest rates are projected to increase.
• Either way you are paying a mortgage.
• It’s time to move on with your life.

When buying a home, you need to concern yourself with the long-term cost of a home, not just the price tag of a home. This means you need to look deeper than the purchase price if you want to make a profitable decision.

If interest rates rise even slightly, as they are projected to by the end of the year, your purchasing power will take a hit. In other words, if you wait, you could be paying a whole lot more money for less home.

We’re coming to an end of a long stretch of favorable market conditions. Like all good things, low rates and rapid home appreciation must come to an end. The experts seem to agree that 2015 will be the last stellar year before the market really starts to normalize.

I would hate for you to hesitate, and miss out on once-in-a-lifetime conditions as a result, if your on the fence about buying or selling.
