| Are you interested in buying a home? |
| |
| Here is what you need to prepare for and professionals you
may need before and during the Home Purchase process. |
| |
| First you should figure that your monthly mortgage payment
should not exceed more than 30% of your monthly income:
Take your total monthly income and times it by .3 and that
will give you an idea of what mortgage payment you can afford and the price
range of the home you should be looking to purchase. Hint:
if you can afford it, put 20% down on the home so you can
avoid a PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). To Learn more about
mortgages and PMI visit the
Federal Reserve Bank Consumer Information Page. Need help making Mortgage calculations?

| Are You Interested In
Selling a Home? |
| |
| Selling your home can be more
stressful than buying a home. For a simple reason,
usually when you are selling a home you are also in the
process of buying. Trying to juggle the two is not an
easy task and a great reason to seek a professionals help. |
| |
| Before you make the plunge you may
want to know your true home value. A home Appraiser
can value your home; Visit the ListNLook

With the Appraisal results in hand you can make a better
informed decision as to sell or hold. If you have to
move; but the market value is not what you expected; you may
want to consider renting instead of selling. |

| ListNLook.com may offer FSBO For
Sale By Owner Home Listings, but we also realize the
importance of not going it alone. If not for your own
sanity, a time frame can be crucial in this whole process
and a big reason to seek out the services of a Real Estate
