August 22, 2021August 22, 2021 / in Helpful Tips / by Maggie Sutton

In order for your home to be comfortable, efficient, and save you money, you need to understand the systems in your home.

Open House: Yes, You Can Afford To Buy A House

July 25, 2021July 24, 2021 / in Buying a House / by Maggie Sutton

There are a lot of factors that are bringing more and more people into the housing market race. Lowest mortgage rates in history, the emergence of flexible work options and working from home, stimulus payments that allowed some Americans to remove debts, and a need to be closer to family.

Open House: Selling Your Home Online – The Real Cost of Convenience

July 11, 2021July 11, 2021 / in Helpful Tips / by Maggie Sutton

We all have seen the news articles pop up on our news feeds and screens: the housing market is HOT. Interest rates are low. There aren’t enough homes for sale for the amount of buyers looking. You think, maybe it’s time to move? Plus, being stuck inside for the better part of a year or more is enough to make anyone realize you could really use more space. So, you decided to enter the housing market to sell your home. Now the question is: are you going to sell traditionally, or sell your home online?

With the rise of national websites offering to pay cash for your home, promising no showings and fast closings, it can be tempting to sell your home online to these companies. But what would you lose by doing so? Read More “Open House: Selling Your Home Online – The Real Cost of Convenience”
