How to save thousands when buying Roanoke TX real estate

Kirby Smith talks Roanoke TX real estate!

Roanoke TX real estate is hot hot hot.  look for homes for sale in roanoke tx or look for homes for sale roanoke tx.  lots of people prefer to look at houses for sale in roanoke tx and then some people just want to look at roanoke tx homes for sale

Buying a home is a great investment, possibly the largest investment you will ever make, so it seems logical that you would want to invest your money wisely when the time comes to purchase a new home.  The following will tell you simple but often-overlooked procedures that will allow you to maximize the dollars you spend on your new home.

Most homebuyers have two primary considerations when they start looking for homes for sale in Roanoke TX.  First, you want it to meet your needs and desires, and secondly, you want to get the best buy possible to obtain your new home.  Successful homebuyers emerge from a sale with the features they want in their new home at the best price available in the market.

For starters, you must know what you are looking for in a home.  You must have a list of needs as well as a list of desires, but be sure when choosing the actual home that you go with the one that fulfills most of your needs.  It is not uncommon for someone to start out with very specific needs and wants but fall in love with a home offering different features.  Ideally a house will come along that has all of your needs and desires, but sometimes that doesn’t occur.  Be careful not to get caught up in the excitement of home shopping and end up with a home that is not as close to perfect as possible.

You should be pre-approved for a loan by a professional mortgage lender.  By understanding what you can afford, you will not spend time looking for homes that are out of your price range.  You also need to understand the various financial aspects of the sale, from whether to spend more up front or make a smaller down payment and work with a larger loan.  There are several costs to consider in the process
of buying a home. 

Your Roanoke TX REALTOR can recommend a reputable mortgage lender who has the reputation of providing excellent service and good rates.

Choose your Agent wisely. Any agent will show enthusiasm and will want to help you locate your new home; they need

  1. Experience at assisting buyers in locating the best home.
  2. Ability to use technology to search the market thoroughly.
  3. To review with you comparable home sales in the area you choose.
  4. Information pertaining to new homes coming on the market that other agents do not
    know of.

Working with a full-time professional Roanoke TX real estate agent is a must. Choose your agent by asking questions of him or her.  Find out how knowledgeable they are about houses currently for sale in your price range and also of houses that have recently sold.  Can your agent recommend a good lender that has the reputation of excellent customer service and low rates to assist your new buyer with financing?  A good listing agent can get your house sold quickly at TOP DOLLAR and help you find a new home.

Divorce and Real Estate

Divorce and Real Estate

Kirby Smith, Broker/Owner of Kirby Smith Realty discusses Roanoke TX real estate.

As we continue in our real estate boom it seems as if though a lot of couples are considering this as a good time divorce. I won't get into the many reasons why people divorce.  I'm going to stick with discussing how you can have a successful home sale while divorcing.

With the Roanoke TX real estate market continuing to grow at unprecedented rates, residents are seeing a lot of profit in their homes right now.  Perhaps this is why many couples are seeing this as an opportune time divorce.  They see that there will be proceeds from the sale to help both parties start fresh.

Many area Roanoke TX homeowners are seeing their home's value increase by 25 to 30% in the last 3 years.  For many people, this will represent and increase of $50,000 to $100,000 in their home's value.

Many times a judge will order a home to be sold to be a part of the divorce.  When this happens, what is the best way to go about selling.  Usually for the sake of selling your home, it's best if one of the spouses moves out of the house.  Most of the time this will have already ocurred.  But if it hasn't happened yet, the couple should seriously consider this as a first step.  Selling a home is stressful enough as it is, without having to see your soon to be ex every day.

Once one of the spouses moves out, then the remaining occupant can get a gameplan together with their Roanoke TX real estate agent to discuss such things as home staging, showing schedule and more.  A good Roanoke TX real estate agent will always keep both spouses in the loop with everything that is going on.

The main thing to know about divorce and selling real estate is that both parties need to be on the same page and both need to put aside any differences they may have and work with their agent to help get the house sold as quickly as possible.  As long as a divorcing couple can do this, you can expect a very fast home sale.  The market continues to be hot (strong sellers market).  As long as the market continues as it has, going through the process of selling the home will be very fast as compared to the divorce itself.

This is just a brief overview of how to sell a home when divorcing.  I've helped quite a few people over the years that have sold a home as a result of divorce.  Please call Kirby Smith at 682-237-1440 or email at kirby@kirbysmithrealty.com to schedule a private consultation.

Get that homestead exemption for 2016!

Is a new Roanoke TX home in your future?  If you are thinking of buying real estate in Roanoke TX in the near future, consider pulling the trigger sooner rather than later.

In order to qualify for your homestead exemption for 2016, you need to purchase and close on your new Roanoke TX home on or before December 31, 2015.

Everyone gets to claim a homestead on their primary residence.  Most cities, counties and school districts will discount the taxable value of your home from 10 to 20%.  This could potentially save you a lot of money on your ad valorem taxes.
