Many of us have created a list of goals to accomplish for this new year and, while goals are great to have, it’s important you have a plan in place to achieve them.  If buying or selling a home on Lake Nacimiento is top on your list, you’re probably already aware that this large undertaking will require working with a seasoned professional.

As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I have worked with buyers and sellers who’ve attempted to navigate the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market on their own.  They then find themselves reaching a point of being either completely overwhelmed or frustrated, and will seek out an agent to help them fix the situation.  My advice is to hire a trusted Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent from the very beginning, and you’ll find the entire home buying or selling process to be a seamless and stress free experience!

Here are ten of the key reasons you’ll want a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent on your side as you embark on buying or selling a home in 2012.

1. Education and Experience- Their years of training and experience in the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market will be a great asset to you!  You don’t have to put pressure on yourself to learn about the market or how to negotiate a deal since a real estate agent will be fully trained and know the ins and outs of the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market.

2. Agents are Buffers- You won’t have to deal with multiple phone calls from buyers or other agents.  Buying or selling a home can get personal and your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent can act as your personal shield against pushy buyers or bad deals.

3. Area Knowledge- If you’re buying a Heritage Ranch or Oak Shores home on Lake Nacimiento as a vacation getaway, your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will know what homes are available and can give you great insight into the area!

4. Price Guidance- Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent can guide you in what you want to offer on a home and help you come up with a price that works within your budget.  They can also give you advice on pricing your home correctly from the beginning.

5. Market Condition Information- You’ll get an inside look into the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market such as what homes are currently selling for on the market or when a home is a good deal.

6. Professional Networking- Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent may already have a connection to an interested buyer for your luxury home or condo!  They will also have contact with other Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agents and brokers and can get the word out about your home being on the market.

7. Negotiation Skills- Negotiating a contract can be tricky and your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will be able to navigate through this process to ensure you are happy with the deal.

8. Handling Volumes of Paperwork- There’s a lot of paperwork that goes into buying or selling a home.  Your real estate agent will be able to take care of this for you and make sure every “i” is dotted and every “t” is crossed!

9. Answer Questions after Closing- Sometimes there can be issues that arise during the closing or taxing authorities can get behind in their paperwork and call you months after closing.  A good real estate agent will stick by you even after you close a deal to take care of any after effects.

10. Develop Relationships for Future Business- Finding a trusted Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent can be tough, but once you find one; you’ll want to develop a great relationship with them!  Whether you are looking to buy or sell again in the future, you know that they’ll be your first choice so building that relationship is key!

There are a number of details that go into buying or selling a home, and it’s a process you won’t want to go through alone!  If you need to sell your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home this year, or are searching for your dream home on Lake Nacimiento; let me know!  My years of experience with the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market will ensure that you succeed in your real estate goals for 2012.

I look forward to hearing from you!

As a result, the business page has now reached over 1,100 fans,” says Gable.

The success of the Oak Shores Realty Facebook page has allowed Borzini and her company to utilize social media as a way to connect with their community, expand their business and gain more leads. Similarly, the people in the Lake Nacimiento area or people thinking of relocating or buying a second home in Lake Nacimiento have benefitted from using the Oak Shores Realty page as a community resource, for everything from what the weather is expected to be to what festivals are happening over the weekend to where to go for a great slice of pizza. The fans of the Lake Nacimiento Facebook page use it as a community guide and rely on it for the most up to date information about the area.

The goal of Oak Shores Realty in setting up this Facebook page was to expand their business and position themselves as the community and real estate expert in Lake Nacimiento.  Borzini, who is also a proud home owner in Lake Nacimiento, genuinely wanted to share her love for the lake with everyone that was interested.

Are you thinking of selling your Lake Nacimiento home this year? If so, you might be wondering if 2012 will bring more home buyers to the Lake Nacimiento area.  Here’s some information about how buyers are viewing the real estate market as a whole.

According to a study released last month by the Mortgage Bankers Association, 80% of surveyed Americans believe that now is a good time to buy a home. This overwhelmingly positive sentiment for home ownership was revealed despite concerns with the economy.

Who are the most enthusiastic home buyers? Per the survey, younger buyers who are well-educated are responding to low mortgage interest rates and affordable home prices. These buyers do their homework.

Nationally, there is already some buying momentum. The Pending Home Sale Index, which tracks contract activity for home buying, rose by 7.3% in November 2011.  This puts the Index at 100.1, the highest level we’ve seen in 19 months. 

Another boost comes from foreign buyers, who continue to scoop up homes in warm-weather states such as ours, along with Florida and Texas.

Will Lake Nacimiento see more home buyers this year? It’s quite possible, but we’re not out of the woods. The hangover of foreclosures will be with us for awhile, keeping prices soft. And while buyer interest is strong, there are hurdles to jump for mortgage approval. Also, lowball appraisals can knock a deal off the table, leaving both the buyers and sellers frustrated. It takes patience and flexibility to see some deals through.

What can you do, as a Lake Nacimiento home seller? First, contact me for the most up-to-date information on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market. In today’s market, things can change quickly. Having an experienced real estate professional on your side is a must! As your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I have the expertise you can count on throughout the home selling process.

Are you thinking of becoming a Lake Nacimiento homeowner this year? You may already know that being pre-qualified for a mortgage is important. Reviewing your credit history before the banker does could save you time and money! Here’s how to obtain your own credit history, and how to address any issues.

Pull your credit history from annualcreditreport.com. This is the official website of the credit industry; beware of substitutes!  You can also pull the credit score at MyFico.com. There are tips on this website about what goes into your credit score, which could help you improve it.

Check your credit history for any errors. Keep in mind that a debt can be sold from one company to another; a loan through GMAC may now read as Ally.  Check your history carefully to make sure dates and balances match up. Be on the lookout for debts that do not sound familiar; identity theft can happen to anyone.

If you find an error, file a dispute directly with the credit bureau. You will need to back up your case, so be ready to supply proof of payment or other facts that support your dispute. The credit bureau will flag the disputed item and investigate it.  Overall, it can take weeks for a correction to be processed on your credit report, depending on the complexity of the matter.

Last but not least, if you are struggling with debt, ask for help! The National Foundation for Credit Counseling can refer you to an approved, trustworthy credit counselor. Avoid quick-fix promises advertised on the internet; there’s no overnight cure for damaged credit, and you could be taken in by a scam.

When you are buying a Lake Nacimiento home, you don’t want to leave anything to chance. Knowing your credit situation, and knowing your mortgage qualifications, put you that much closer to living on Lake Nacimiento.

As your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I am always ready to help you with your questions about the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market. For information about recent sales, or about our wonderful communities of Oak Shores and Heritage Ranch, contact me today!
