It is a common misconception in the world of real estate that as a buyer you start looking at homes first, and then get pre-approved for a home loan.  There are few reasons why it's important to have your pre-approval done before you start actually looking at properties.  1)      If you talk to a...

I have come to realize in my real estate career that a lot of people aren't aware of the fact that there are agents in the real estate business that actually specialize.  Some know there are agents that work commercial, others that work a particular area or neighborhood.  Interestingly, most don'...

I ask this question all the time before I decide to start working on some...
