Avoiding Closing Derailment
Like
a train, a transaction can get derailed
at any point on the track. A closing can
be hit by a clouded title, a home not
appraising for value, a rapid change in
interest rates, an undisclosed credit or
income issue, or one of countless other
unanticipated issues.
Choke points cause delays and
delays cause all kinds of problems for
buyers, sellers, and agents. Moving
plans get thrown into disarray. Interim
housing or early-possession requests
become necessary. Contingency plans need
to be thrown together. Nerves get
jangled. The resulting situation can be
a nightmare

|
|
for everyone involved in the
transaction.
Eighty percent of the
problems in closing transactions
fall into three basic areas.
Stay on the lookout for these
problems to steer your home

Moving Made Easy,
Keep It Simple
The
moving industry is complicated.
It uses a lot of lingo that most consumers
don't understand: You get your estimates as
"binding" or "non-binding"; movers use a
"tariff" to determine rates; when the mover
ships your goods, you receive a "bill of
lading."
And when you go to check out your mover,
you run into a mass of regulations. If you're
moving within your state, your state government
regulates your move; if you're moving across the
country, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration does. Finding (and understanding)
information about your mover on either of these
agencies' Web sites can be hard, too.
It's understandable, then, that most
people don't put in this kind of gumshoe work.
However, there are three basic moving pitfalls
that, if avoided, can help save you from a lousy
experience with poor moving companies.
1. Not getting an in-home estimate.

Home Hunting Without Fear
As
any daredevil, extreme sports addict or
adrenaline junkie knows, well-grounded
preparation for the specific task at hand is
what takes the fear out of trying.
The sometimes risky sport of home buying
is no different.
Those who've suffered the agony of defeat
in what's likely the most dangerous consumer
game, learned the hard way that sheer
fearlessness isn't enough to become and remain a
homeowner -- through good times and bad.
With the rules of the housing game changed
forever, preparing to just squeak by the home
buying ordeal isn't enough to achieve a decisive
and lasting victory.
The idea isn't just to buy a home. The
goal is to keep your own roof over your head.
Preparation is key, according to the
National Association of Realtors (NAR).
From NAR, here's how to get ready to be
and remain a homeowner.
Create a wish list. Write down
housing wants and needs. Include all the
physical characteristics you want or need.
Include style, size, layout and room
configuration. Look at the number of bedrooms
and bathrooms, and the basic amenities you must
have. Include critical features such as location
and services

Can Trees Help
Sell Your Home?
The
population of the U.S. nearly doubled from 1950 to 2000
but with that growth our water demands more than
tripled, according to the Environmental Protection
Agency. The government predicts that there will be water
shortages in 36 states by the year 2013. That's
disappointing news to homeowners who love their green
lawns and think that they add value to their homes. The
good news is that a yard can still look attractive and
yet use less water to maintain its beauty.
