Seller Mistakes That Could Cost Big Bucks! Here are some big mistakes that sellers make, that could cost them big bucks! The Guided Tour.  Hovering over buyers and explaining every detail about your home makes them nervous.  They might want to discuss your Phillips Ranch home with their spouse or their agent, and they will feel uncomfortable if you are within earshot.  Buyers often want to have a conversation about what they like and what they would change if the home were theirs.  If you happen to hear this discussion, please keep your opinions to yourself.  If you must be present during a showing, take a walk or go sit on the front porch until the buyers are done.  Any questions they have will be relayed from their agent to your agent. The Dirty, Messy, Cluttered House.  You should al...

Mortgage Interest Rates vs APR for Phillips Ranch Real Estate Buyers One of the most confusing issues for Phillips Ranch home buyers is the difference between the interest rate they were quoted when they applied for a loan, and the APR (annual percentage rate) that is shown on the Truth in Lending form or the Good Faith Estimate, which is disclosed to the buyer before the loan is actually funded. I have had many customers who, in the last stages of buying their home in Phillips Ranch, call to complain that the lender quoted them 5.25%, but the APR on their disclosures is 5.625%.  What is going on, they want to know.  Is the loan officer pulling a fast one? The answer is no, the loan officer is not lining his pockets at the last minute because he thinks you will not pull out of the Phil...

Phillips Ranch Real Estate Agent Brett Ehart Discusses the Perks of Having a Home Warranty When you own a home you can expect, sooner or later, that things will start going wrong.  It’s not necessarily the result of buying a “lemon”: it just means that, like people, parts start wearing out as they age.  According to Phillips Ranch REALTOR Brett Ehart, having a home warranty in place may help ease the burden when they do. A home warranty is the same as any other warranty you may purchase.  When you buy an extended warranty on a TV you are in essence buying protection in case something major goes wrong with it.  That is the same with the home version.  It covers major components of the Phillips Ranch home, such as heating and air, roof, etc., for a period of one year from the date of clo...

Many Phillips Ranch home buyers don’t realize that closing costs are negotiable There’s a lot of room for negotiation in the costs of closing. Phillips Ranch real estate buyers should examine every charge and not hesitate to challenge them and try to bring them down.  Too often, borrowers just accept the charges that are presented to them. Closing costs can really add up when buying or refinancing, running anywhere from 3 to 6 percent of the price of the property. Phillips Ranch home buyers can lower these expenses by questioning their lender, escrow company, and title company. Many of the fees associated with closing are negotiable and consumers should review line-by-line estimates and challenge them. Simply ask the lender which fees are negotiable and which are fixed to find out which...

With the growth of the Internet, the prospect of 'going' FSBO — For Sale By Owner — as a method for selling your Phillips Ranch home is more attractive than ever.One of the largest expenses involved in selling a property is the payment of an agent's commission — often in the 6% range.

Now is a Great Time to Buy a Home in Phillips Ranch! Interest rates on Phillips Ranch Homes have been hovering around all-time lows for quite a while.  Recently, rates were the lowest in over 50 years.  Right now, rates are .5% lower than this time last year.  That means lower payments on your mortgage. Historically, Phillips Ranch real estate sales are very slow over the winter months.  The lack of demand puts downward pressure on prices as sellers become nervous about how long their home has been on the market.  Before Spring arrives, sellers might reduce prices or offer other incentives to make their homes more attractive to buyers.  According to the National Association of Realtors, housing is more affordable than it has been since 1970. Motivated Phillips Ranch home sellers, large ...
