HOME BUYERS:

7 Ways to Prepare Your Finances Did you know many homebuyers are financially unprepared to purchase a home? According to a recent survey by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling® (NFCC®), almost half of respondents report being “least prepared” to buy a home – a sign that education is needed, especially for first-time buyers. Prepare your finances well in advance of searching for a home. Here’s how.

1. Make a Financial Plan Knowing where to start means conducting a complete review of how your household budget is managed. Comparing income and expenses, reviewing debt, and tracking savings are just a few of the ways to measure readiness for homeownership. 2. Review Your Credit Report and Score Because a mortgage is the largest debt a person is likely to carry in their life, credit history can be a deal breaker or a dream maker. A credit report may be obtained without a score for free once every 12 months from each of the three bureaus by visiting AnnualCreditReport. com. Once a copy is obtained, review it for discrepancies and dispute any differences. Do this at least six months in advance of applying for the loan, allowing time for inaccuracies to be corrected. Along with the free credit report, a score can be purchased for a small fee. Because the score is critical to mortgage

approval and competitive interest rates, it is worth taking a look before submitting the loan application. Lender guidelines vary, but a FICO score of 760 is typically the threshold for the most favorable interest rates. 3. Start Saving A down payment is typically no less than 20 percent of the purchase price of a home, and coming up with the money may be a significant pain point. A down payment is essential to limit the amount borrowed, as well as increasing the chance of having more favorable mortgage terms. 4. Decide the Type of Loan After you’ve selected a lender, decide whether to take on a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan, which are the most common of the many different types of financing available. For those planning to remain in the home for a long time, a fixed-rate mortgage helps add stability by keeping the payment the same for the life of the loan. Those expecting their stay in the home to be no longer than five to seven years may be better served

by an adjustable-rate loan, where they could benefit from lower rates in the short term. 5. Pre-Qualify for a Loan It is important to know the limits of what is affordable before beginning to shop for a house. A good place to start is by becoming pre-qualified with a lender. This free service can typically be done in-person, online or by phone. The lender will need to gather some financial information and will offer a general idea of the amount of mortgage loan available based on the information provided. This non-binding estimate is the best way to know how much house would be affordable. 6. Become Pre-Approved for a Loan Applying for a mortgage typically involves a cost and is done by supplying detailed financial documentation to the lender. The lender will use this information in conjunction with information obtained by pulling a credit report to determine the amount and terms for the loan. This is not a final approval for a loan, but is a significant step toward that outcome.

7. Lock In the Rate If you like the interest rate being offered when pre-approved, lock it in by getting the commitment in writing. It can take time to find a home, negotiate a price and secure funding. Locking a rate for a reasonable period of time helps make room to complete the process without risking a less-favorable interest rate.

THE EIGHT BEST REASONS TO USE A PROFESSIONAL PEST CONTROL COMPANY Many people consider themselves "do it yourselfers" and with all the information available online, it makes sense that many household projects can be undertaken by a layman or weekend hobbyist. When dealing with pest control issues, however, it may be a better idea to let a pro handle it instead of just buying some poison and going to town. Here are the best reasons to use a professional pest control company when you have a pest problem in your home:

1. DISCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Generally, the more services you purchase from your exterminator the more you save per service. As a result, each service becomes cheaper.

2. REFERRAL DISCOUNTS

Many pest control companies offer discounts to clients who successfully refer them to their friends. This is a way to get money back for a service you have already purchased.

3. EXCLUSION SERVICES

Once your exterminator has identified the causes of your pest issues, he/she can either perform the corrections to the structure or recommend someone who can. By changing these

conditions, pests are less likely to return.

4. PREVENTION

our pest control company is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ways to prevent pests. They will assist you with information on what you can do to prevent termites, ants, roaches and more.

5. IDENTIFICATION

Not sure which pest is bothering you? Your exterminating company will be able to get an ID of the pest, even if you are not covered for that pest. Maybe you have a mysterious bite; again the pest control company can help.

6. FORMULATING A PLAN

A professional exterminator understands the needs of your home or business. So he/she will formulate a planned approach to the implementation of service to aide in eliminating and reducing a pest invasion.

7. RISK

Using pest control products comes with a risk to your health, the health of your family and the environment. Pest Control companies are not only trained to use pesticides safely, they are also regulated by state and national laws that help protect non target animals from exposure to the insecticides.

8. COST

The purchase price for an insecticide is generally cheaper for a professional exterminator since they are able to purchase their products at a wholesale price and in bulk. More importantly, they will use the right product for the pest that is infesting your home or business. Knowing the insect and the correct product to use is half the battle. Ants are not just ants, for example. Different species of ants may require a different type of product and application. You as the property owner may not be able to properly identify the pest; hence, spending more money on products in an attempt to correct your pest issue.

Need Roof Work?

Tips to Avoid Scams

Replacing or repairing a roof is a costly undertaking— one that for many homeowners has been marred by disreputable roofing contractors. However, don’t let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch. There are plenty of trustworthy roofing companies in your area. To avoid roofing scams and to find a reputable roofer, follow these tips, courtesy of the Insurance Institute for Home & Business Safety (IBHS):

1 2 3

Research roofing contractors diligently before hiring one. Consult the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and search for reviews and ratings online. Avoid contractors who have generated complaints, lawsuits, etc. A reputable roofer will also be able to provide previous customer testimonials or recommendations vouching for their work. Confirm all credentials before hiring a contractor. A reputable roofing professional will be licensed, insured and bonded, and will be able to provide the aforementioned locally-based references. Request to review their license number, federal tax identification number, and certificate of insurance—a qualified professional will provide them. Fact-check this information with the appropriate authorities. Get detailed estimates (in writing!) from contractors you’re considering hiring—more than one is best. Shop around to find the best value. Don’t feel pressured to hire the first roofing company that gives you an estimate. Also be wary of any “today only” deals or prices when you’re given an estimate, they are pressuring you into making a decision right away. y

4 5 6

Do not enter into an agreement with a roofing contractor who solicits business at your doorstep, particularly after a storm. This could be a sign of an imposter. Also, be wary of any deals or prices that sound too good to be true. They usually are. Exercise caution when dealing with contracts. Be sure to read and re-read all documents, or have a third party review them with you, before signing them. Do not sign a contract with missing information—a fraudster may fill these blanks with inaccurate information. Do not feel pressured to sign a contract on the spot. Most importantly, never pay upfront in full for roofing work. Scammers will make off with the money, never to be seen again.

By following these tips you will find a reputable roofing company that will provide you with a great balance of service and price. Good luck with your roofing project!

WINTERIZE IN THE ALL TO AVOID EPAIRS LATER WINTERIZE I N T H E FA L L T O AV O I D R E PA I R S L AT E R

Autumn is here, so don’t fall behind on your seasonal home repairs checklist. It pays to know which renovations to tackle now, which repairs can wait until next season, and what preventative measures can help you avoid large-scale, costly repairs. One of the first steps that homeowners need to take is to winterize in autumn, before the cold weather really hits. “While staying warm is top of mind for many homeowners this upcoming winter, it is important to note that in order to stay warm and dry, homes must first be functioning properly,” says Bill Jacques, American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) president. “A home inspection in the fall can help homeowners prioritize maintenance projects as the seasons change and weather becomes more severe.” ASHI recommends fall as the ideal time to begin home inspector consultations and any necessary home repairs. Maintenance costs are generally lower when homeowners proactively prepare their home for winter weather instead of waiting to fix issues that arise, such as burst pipes and damaged roofs.

Homeowners may want to consult with a professional home inspector or another local professional on winterizing projects, such as: y

Cleaning gutters and downspouts When ice damming occurs, water cannot drain from gutters and can sometimes seep into the home and damage ceilings and walls. Further, when you have a buildup of autumn leaves in your gutters; it can put stress on them. Add in some winter snow later on top, and you have a recipe for gutters buckling under the weight, and falling down, causing damage to your roof and exterior.

Roof, siding and shutter repairs Heavy rains and high winds can call for window protection from shutters and the necessity of a sturdy exterior and roof for protection. Damaged shingles can become even more damaged during the winter months, and cause water to leak in under them. ASHI recommends inspecting your roof, siding and shutters at least once a year.

Caulking cracks to stop cold drafts According to the U.S. Department of Energy, drafts can waste 5 to 30 percent of your energy use. Worn-out weather stripping around doors and windows allows cold air to seep into the home, which increases heating costs. You should also place a draft guard under any doors that lead to the exterior. This will help keep cold air out throughout the fall and winter.

Inspecting chimneys Adding a cap or screen to the top of a chimney will prevent birds from nesting or animals from entering. ASHI also recommends inspecting the damper for proper operation and checking mortar between bricks. If you have a gas fireplace, the fall is a good time to make sure the pilot light and gas lines are functioning properly.

Checking batteries in carbon monoxide and smoke detectors Many fires or cases of carbon monoxide poisoning occur during the cooler months due to an increase in furnace and other heat source usage. If you have gas appliances, you need a CO detector for increased safety.

Change your furnace filters It is important to replace or clean furnace filters once a month during the heating season. Dirty filters restrict airflow and increase energy demand. Pick a date and mark in on your calendar each month as a reminder. You can also consider switching to a permanent filter, which while more costly, reduces waste, hassle and removes more debris.

“The time to get serious about necessary home repairs is before the temperature starts dropping,” says Jacques. “Once winter weather begins and your home has problems, you will be wasting money each month, so think about getting your home professionally inspected in the fall so you can keep the home in good condition and reduce problems from lack of maintenance. Home inspectors can help identify problems so you can keep your home in good condition.”

PREPARING YOUR HOME

FOR THE

MARKET Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to move into a larger house to fit your growing family, downsize to a smaller place, or simply need to relocate, the process of selling a house is one that requires work. The more work you do to prepare, the higher the chances will be of attracting serious buyers for your house.

To help you prepare for the big sale, follow these tips: CHOOSE AN AGENT. Sure, you can try and go at it alone to save on commission. But a real estate agent who understands your home, your community and your expectations is well worth it. An agent can help with everything from advertising your home to setting a fair price and managing the paperwork.

SET A PRICE. Once you’ve settled on an agent, they will help set a price for your home and conduct a market analysis of current listings and recent sales of comparable homes in your area. Your agent may also request that you have your home appraised. Factors such as your timeframe to sell, and repairs and upgrades you’re willing to make, will also play a role in determining your asking price.

GET A PRE-LISTING INSPECTION. Many sellers choose to have their home inspected prior to putting it on the market. A pre-listing inspection can help uncover surprises and allow you to get estimates for repair work ahead of time before you reach the final stages of the home sale. Even if you’ re unable or unwilling to make the recommended repairs, knowing how much it will cost to fix or replace faulty items can help during negotiations.

GET TOGETHER IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS. Get together appliance manuals, warranty info, past utilities bills and other paperwork to answer questions from prospective buyers and provide to them after the deal has closed.

BOOST YOUR CURB APPEAL. Your home’s exterior is the first thing potential buyers will notice, so make sure it makes a good and lasting first impression. Touch up paint or repaint entirely and fix cracks in or repave the driveway. Put down new mulch, pull weeds, plant flowers and shrubbery – whatever you can do to make the exterior of your home as appealing as possible.

CLEAN, DECLUTTER AND DEPERSONALIZE. A prospective buyer wants to envision themselves living in your home – not see you living in there currently. Clean the place, take down family photos and personal items. And if you have a dog or cat, remove signs of them as well. Not everyone is an animal person.

By following these tips, your house will move quickly – even in a non-peak selling season!
