So you’re tired of paying rent and you are ready to buy. What type of home should I buy? Well, that depends on many factors. The reality is that you will probably not be able to buy your “dream home” first time around; there is almost always some sort of compromise (house size, lot size, location, condition). Here is what I recommend:
How to Stage Your Home for Sale
Thinking of listing your home? What should you do to get ready? Here are a few suggestions. No matter what your objective – whether it be to sell “as-is” (putting little to no money into it) to totally updating to get top dollar – there are things you can do to help you get more profit.
Should I Back Out?
So, I hate to say it, not every transaction runs just the way you would like it to. Sometimes in the home buying process it is necessary to “pull the plug” so to speak. Things do not always go the way you want them to. You have found your dream home and have chosen to do some inspections, and then suddenly you run into trouble. Oh, not fun.

Starting the Home-Buying Process
The whole home buying process can be overwhelming for the first time buyer. I get that it can defiantly be a huge, confusing process. It will involve a lot of learning. Almost all buyers nowadays are starting there searches on line: Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Realtor.com, etc. They search and search then suddenly they have found their “dream home.” Who do they often call to see that property, the listing agent? Who do they represent, the seller.
Should I Buy a Historic Home?
Hello from the Hagerstown Tri-State area. So having lived and worked in an area rich in history and loaded with historic homes for the past 30 years– 18 as a realtor– I have personally owned and sold a number of turn-of-the-century and pre-turn-of-the-century homes. When using the term “historic” I am referring to properties built pre-1930, which there are a lot of in this area.

This Tri-State area has several small towns offering […]
