Catherine, there is no set answer to this question. The best thing to do would be to refer to the particular lender for each given transaction. I have had a lender close a loan under the new guidelines in a little over 20 days, and I have had anothe more...Posted 8 years ago - Last Answered by codydm
I must also agree with the general consensus here. I have paid for trulia and Zillow leads and felt very taken at the end of it all. The first red flag should have been the fact that you can not judge your experience after one month and cancel. If a more...Posted 9 years ago - Last Answered by ACulem
I would think it would be something that the new buyer is going to have to take up with the HOA. If it is just like that on this one property (versus the whole street for example) I would assume you would have a better chance in getting the HOA to more...Posted 9 years ago - Last Answered by KDS
New listings usually generate a lot of traffic during the first 2 weeks and if you do not get any offers during this time, then it's a sign that buyers feel your home is overpriced or there is something about the home they don't like. It could be a lack more...Posted 8 years ago
It can take up to 5 days to show up on Homes.com, and occasionally not ALL of the pictures are seen on other sites. In the Houston area serious buyers are looking at har.com for listings and nationwide realtor.com, so I would tell you not to worry about more...Posted 8 years ago

Pools can be very expensive to repair, and there can easily be underground leaks, gunite deterioration, and other large problems that the average person would not notice. I would not use a typical real estate inspector either...pay a little extra and more...Posted 8 years ago
I would first make sure you are investing in an area that has many other homes that have also done major improvements to their properties. You never want to be the most expensive home in a community as it will have no comparables for an appraiser. Secondly, more...Posted 8 years ago
I have found that Angie's List is a good first place to start. A good contractor will have many excellent reviews. The next best source is from friends, neighbors and realtors. I agree that any contractor that asks for money up front is an immediate more...Posted 8 years ago
I would say yes to the higher end price points in a few rooms, like the powder room and maybe formal dining room. In the lower price point I would say "no", most if not all buyers under $500K are not going to like wallpaper. Wallpaper is such a personal more...Posted 8 years ago
I saved a lot of money on my bathroom remodel by not using a general contractor that subs out all of the work and handling that myself. One did the tile on the shower and floors, another for the counters, a plumber etc...it will take more of your time more...Posted 8 years ago
In addition to the other responses, some agents are not diligent about closing out their listings in the MLS after the sale is complete and funded. In just the last month I have had to remindtwo listing agents to please close out the listing for my buyers, more...Posted 9 years ago
