This Month in Real Estate

The Russell Group Top 5 Tips

1.  Location matters! What's most important?  School, work, shopping?  Decide this up front and hold this thought.  If you find yourself having difficulty deciding between properties, this could be an important deciding factor.

2.  Top 10 "Must Have's" Checklist. Make a checklist of your top 10 items of importance, the really serious items you must have in this property.  If a property looks really interesting and you find yourself having a hard time deciding if it's "the one" be sure to look at this list.  Make this list include things that are so important to you that if the property does not have it/them, then we call that a "deal breaker." 

3.  Get Pre-qualified or Pre-approved by Lender for Loan.   This is extremely important.  If you do not know a reliable lender, please let us know.  We have a list of reputable mortgage lenders, both mortgage loan companies and banks, we are happy to share with you.  Before you start looking for property it is a good plan to know that you can indeed get a loan, and also based upon the type of loan and what it will cost you, we then will determine what your price range will be.  The Russell Group supports the goal of keeping you within your comfort zone and will not knowingly entice you out of that financial range where you feel most comfortable. 

4.  It's OK To Be Excited, But Patience May Also Be Required.  We may find "the right property" right away, but it can also take some time.  We are with you every step of the way, whatever the time frame. We're with you from start through to finish.  It will be exciting when we hone in on the right property, though.

5.  Be Prepared.   If you have done the required preliminary steps listed above, then when we find the right property for you, there will be no hesitation.  You will feel ready to make a business decision and take action by writing an offer.  We will work through that together.

Welcome to the best resource for searching for homes, provided by Kay Russell, The Russell Group, Keller Williams Realty
