Advice for sellers

I found some great advice for home sellers. Click here to go to the site.

The point of the article is that we live in a very "lawsuit happy" world. And there is no reason to expose yourself to more risk than is absolutely needed.

This article has some very practical tips.

Getting the best interest rate

Here is a link to an article that I wrote on Helium.com

"Dirty Little Secret"

This article covers some very practical advice for anyone that is currently shopping for a mortgage.

It also touches on a hot spot within the mortgage industry.

Take a read (it is a little long--1500 words). It does give some very practical, actionable advice at the end.

Thansk!

Real Estate Agents

I found this article on Real Estate-News on Blogger. They talk about the value of traditional listing agents versus Flat Fee Agents.

This is a hot issue. Traditional agents despise the flat fee agents and in some states, have actually been able to get laws passed that put them out of business. The National Association of Realtors has a very powerful lobby.

Read this article. It spells out some of the good and bad about traditional versus flat fee agents. The writer stands with the flat fee, but it is still good information.

What it really comes down to is what am I willing to do myself and what do I want to pay someone else to do.
