Steps to Stop Renting and Start Owning a Home

You don’t need to feel trapped in your apartment or house rental.  Before you pay another cent in rent to your landlord, consider what it would be like to STOP RENTING and START OWNING your own home!  You don't need perfect credit, in many cases, you could own for less than renting.  

Consider some of these little known facts about owning your own home:

1. You don’t need a large down payment.
2. You may be able to get assistance with your down payment and closing costs.
3. You may be able to find seller financing options.
4. You can buy a home with less than perfect credit.

If you dream about being a homeowner, contact TCP Real Estate today to find out your options for buying a home.

Tips for Home Buying and Home Selling

TIPS FOR HOME BUYING AND HOME SELLING

Our experienced real estate team of agents have helped countless buyers and sellers throughout the Austin area and want to share their knowledge and tips of what works for home buying and selling with you.

Home Buyers Should be Prepared to Modify Their Lists – Right now, many home buyers in Austin are facing a challenge finding suitable properties.  Homes are receiving multiple offers and buyers are feeling frustrated at the lack of homes available.  Consider making adjustments to your wants and needs list.

Home Sellers Should Beware of Being Greedy – Often the first offer is the best offer but sellers tend to get greedy and think they should hold out for another buyer to come along.  After the first wave of excitement, buyers tend to lose interest and move on to the next property.  If your property doesn’t receive an offer in the first few weeks or month on the market, think about readjusting price or showing condition.

Home Buyers Need to Be Ready to Purchase – Sellers like offers from home buyers with their financing ready to go.  Be sure that you have your lender’s pre-qualification and pre-approval letter attached with all offers.  And the fewer conditions you have, the more attractive you will be to the seller.  Which leads us to the next tip….

Sell Your Home First if You Can – If you are a move-up buyer who needs to sell their current home to purchase a new one, then you’ll need to make a decision on whether or not to sell your home first.  Many times,  your home buying purchase will be contingent on selling your home.  If so, then you will want to make your home buying offer as attractive as possible.  If something does go south with your home sale it could jeopardize your home purchase.   Another option is to close on your current home and ask if you can lease back the property until you close on your new home purchase.

Experience Counts When It Comes to Your Real Estate Agent – Pick a real estate agent and brokerage that has experience and knowledge with the local market.  Ask friends, family and coworkers for referrals.   It’s also important that you feel comfortable with the agent you choose since you will need to trust them with one of the most important transactions of your life.
