<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">We're a little over a week into the government shutdown and many are wondering whether the closing of federal offices has or will impact the housing market.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The short answer at this point is no. But since none of us can predict how long this may last or what the outcome may be, it's hard to say with certainty that no glitches will arise.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back the majority of mortgages in the U.S., and thus far have not been affected by the shutdown. However, the Federal Housing Administration is operating with a reduced staff, which means that FHA loans may experience delays in processing due to the lack of staff.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">In fact, news sources say that the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the FHA, has just 64 of the nearly 3,000 employees who normally work at its offices reporting to work right now.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">What could create delays in the mortgage market is the lack of an IRS form that lenders use to verify borrowers' incomes. Since the IRS is closed as part of the shutdown, they're not releasing verification forms at the moment. While a portion of the loans in process now would already have ordered these forms, some may be waiting for this in order to resume closing. If the shutdown lasts for more than a week or two we could reach a point where a small backlog occurs.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">A few buyers are already caught up in mortgage <a href="http://interorealestate.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=480e95760bd6c8bf1a107fdad&id=0771123b32&e=9228255eaa">purgatory</a> because of the shutdown. If the shutdown persists, there will come a point where no mortgages can move forward. And those who were seeking FHA loans likely would be out of luck.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">However, as the Wall Street Journal <a href="http://interorealestate.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=480e95760bd6c8bf1a107fdad&id=a724b90a3b&e=9228255eaa">points out</a>, if the shutdown lasts longer than a week or two, income verification forms would be the least of anyone's worries. Some government employees may face falling late on their mortgage payments. FHA could lose funding authority, effectively shutting off all FHA-backed loans. And failing to raise the debt ceiling would have much broader consequences for the housing market and the economy than process delays.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">At this point, it's all speculation around what happens to the housing market and greater economy if the shutdown affects the debt ceiling. But we're all watching nonetheless.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">If Congress resumes in the next week, home sales likely will be unaffected in the grand scheme of things.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Let's hope for the best.</span></span><br />

One of the ones we still hear today is, "How do you prounounce the name of your company?" Well, we are happy to answer that question! So, say it with me, IN-TEAR(not a tear you are crying, a tear like you are ripping paper)-OH. One more time. IN-TEAR-OH. Good. Now that that's settled let's talk about WHO we are. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span 12pt="" calibri="" font-size:="" sans-serif="">When Intero Real Estate Services was founded ten years ago, its founders set out to create a company that was different.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The experience of owning your own home and being able to personalize it is one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever enjoy.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Are you up to speed on title issues? How important are inspections and what does code compliance mean? What happens during escrow? Will you be able to find the opportunities that can tip price and rates in your favor?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some people think they can get by with “just enough” knowledge, relying on a mortgage agent or lender that may or may not have their best interests at hand. The truth of the matter is, the more you know, the better position you will be in when it’s time to sign papers. And <a href="http://www.yourteamdonday.com/">the right team</a> will make an enormous difference on the outcome of your home buying adventure.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is where we come in - offering the guidance, information and assistance that <a href="http://realtalkrealestate.blogspot.com/2013/07/who-does-realtor-work-for-anyway.html">only a qualified Realtor</a> can provide.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You may be at the point in your home ownership where you are thinking about making some improvements. Here are remodeling projects that yield high returns right now according to the National Association of Home Builders: </span></div>
<ol type="1">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Small Kitchen Remodel: A simple re-facing of the cabinets, new flooring, appliances and hardware can transform a kitchen. Easily the most satisfying remodeling job I know of. Check out <a href="http://www.southernliving.com/home-garden/decorating/kitchen-design-ideas-00400000065247/">this article</a> and our <a href="http://pinterest.com/teamday615/kitchens-we-love/">pinterest board</a> for some great ideas for a small kitchen.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bathroom addition: Older homes particularly benefit from this kind of change because they have a low bathroom count or the baths they have are very small. We have found some amazing bathroom ideas on <a href="http://pinterest.com/teamday615/bathroom/">pinterest</a> - a great resource for ideas and inspiration. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Major Kitchen Remodel: Who doesn’t love a state-of-the-art kitchen? And with new materials dropping the remodeling costs all the time, this can be a worthwhile project that will transform your life. Check out our <a href="http://pinterest.com/teamday615/kitchens-we-love/">pinterest board</a> for some great eye catching kitchens! </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Keep in mind that priorities on which projects to choose now are different when you’re getting ready to sell. When it’s time to put your home on the market, your energy is better spent on ‘elbow grease’ projects like fresh interior paint that ‘lightens and brightens,’ plumbing repairs, and new exterior paint.</span><br />

<br /></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To Move or Improve – that is the question! To help you with this age-old dilemma here are a few suggestions that will shine more light on this subject. </span></div>
<ol type="1">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first step is a basic reality check - assess if your remodeling plan is feasible. Check your building codes and ordinances. Consult with a qualified contractor and/or architect with experience in your area. You’ll also need to know what structural requirements are necessary if you’re planning to build above the ground floor.<br /> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The next step is to obtain an estimate of the cost. The very same contractor or architect can help you determine how much you’ll need to spend in order to create the additional space you need.<br /> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The last step is to investigate the current real estate market and determine what is available that meets your needs. The market is still quite favorable to buyers who are looking to trade up, and you can take advantage of interest rates that remain low. You’ll also find that the market is somewhat softer at the higher end, with a broad selection of homes offering very attractive options to meet your needs. At this level you’ll often find that a new home might give you much more than your current home ever could - even with the improvements you’re planning. </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It’s essential to know what your project will cost, so you can understand everything that’s involved and what the net gain will be when the dust settles. With this information in hand, you may decide that it’s simply not worth the cost or effort to add on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It also helps to keep tabs on the market and look at larger homes as they become available. Knowing what’s on the market will ultimately help you decide whether to stick with your current home and add on, or to trade up to a new home that offers everything you need, right from the day you move in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

If you’re in the market to buy a new home and you’re looking at builder’s subdivisions, you might think that you really don’t need a Realtor. But while the process may seem simpler than choosing from a variety of different homes, you’ll still benefit tremendously from having a Real Estate professional to guide you through the sale - especially one who has been in and out of all the different projects in the area and knows the reputation of the local builders.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We can help you guide the process to make it as smooth as possible for you. From the beginning to closing escrow, we will make sure everything is on track and on schedule. As a matter of fact, you will find that most reputable builders are pleased to work with a Real Estate professional, because they trust that the consummation of the builder contract will be without incident. And you can rely on our knowledge to make sure that you have the representation you need for your own peace of mind.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So if you’re in the market for a builder home, please give us a call (Chris at 615-406-1212 or Don at 615-406-7348) or email either one of us. We are confident that we can help save you valuable time and money so you can unlock the door to your new home sooner and without any surprises!<br />

To help you get the best deal on your home loan, here are a few of the major pitfalls that you should know about when beginning the process of getting pre-approved:<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Beware of advertised loans with incredibly low interest rates. Your loan rate is critical, but many lenders use ‘bait and switch’ tactics or they fail to reveal that these kinds of loans usually have increased up-front costs.</div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Go with a local lender. Our market is unique, and out-of-town lenders don’t always understand its nuances. If they are inexperienced with lending against the type of property you buy, you may not get the most favorable rate. Other brokers often fail to get the loans placed because they don’t understand which lenders will loan against which types of property.</div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Go with an experienced loan professional. There are scores of new mortgage brokers and loan representatives in the market right now and not all of them have adequate oversight. An inexperienced mortgage professional can kill your deal through mismanaged paperwork and delays in escrow. They also don’t always know where to go for the best rates.</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Please call us if you need a recommendation about which mortgage broker or lender is the best one for your situation. We can provide you with excellent contacts that have proven track records and satisfied customers. We want to help you take this very important step with confidence - and enjoy greater peace of mind.</div>

To find the right home, you may explore several different web sites to get information. Unfortunately, what appears to be available inventory often isn't because some companies aren't keeping their sites current and displaying information about listings that are already sold or no longer on the market.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">
</div>
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To save our clients time and frustration, we stay on top of the market and know about everything available; homes listed in the multiple listing service, builder’s new homes, and even homes for sale by owners.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Having one resource working for you to find what is on the market can save you considerable time. We've also been inside many of the homes available and can offer you an ‘insider’s perspective’ on how they look like inside and whether they are a good value and/or worth the time to view.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We hope that you will call so we can get to work and help you find the perfect home for you that much sooner. Don't forget to check our <a href="http://www.yourteamdonday.com/">website</a> to see the homes we have listed before they are gone (like the beautiful one pictured above)!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Do you know exactly who real estate agents are working for? You should because it may not always be you. Real estate law stipulates; <em>“an agent may represent either party to the transaction, both parties in some instances, or neither party.”</em></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes, it’s all very confusing, but that is why I recommend that you choose a Realtor that is specifically working <em>for you</em>. Please contact us and we’ll explain the different types of Agency representation, what they mean, and help you decide which one is right for your needs.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You’ll be amazed at the difference having a dedicated Realtor on your side can make!</span></div>

Sometimes home-buyers take on the project of finding the home they like without knowing exactly what they need or want. This can make for a random and frustrating search that often wastes unnecessary time. On occasion, some people think they can even outsmart sellers while negotiating purchase price, while in reality they might be getting a worse deal altogether.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We've compiled a short list of the most common mistakes home-buyers tend to make: </div>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">
<br />
<li>Viewing all of the homes that become available, instead of focusing on the ones that are in their price range.</li>
<li>Not knowing about all available financing options.</li>
<li>Not completely understanding the subtle art of negotiating price.</li>
<li>Over or under-estimating the actual value of specific home amenities.</li>
<li>Choosing inspectors who may not be fully qualified.</li>
<li>Not requesting all of the appropriate inspections to be made.</li>
<li>Failing to consider all aspects pertaining to the new home, including the location (and reputation) of schools and other services.</li>
<li>Falling prey to exorbitant fees and outrageous rates.</li>
<li>Falling for the belief that bigger is better, thereby putting oneself in a precarious situation and buying the largest or most expensive property. </li>
</blockquote>
<div>
Our job is to guide you through the process and help you identify pitfalls and opportunities.
