Real Estate Buying and Selling Basics Ever found yourself wondering where to start in the buying or selling process? Wonder no more. Buying and selling a home is a fairly simple process provided you have a good REALTOR. Here are my top needs to know for both buying and selling.
Buying: The buying process starts by connecting agent and buyer. Once the relationship is made, criteria must be addressed, and financing lined up. There are many qualified lenders who can help you get a loan. Once you know how much you can and want to invest, the next step is to find a property that fits your needs. This is the most important, yet exciting part of the process. It is critical that you address all of the provided property information before placing an offer. One key thing to remember when writing an offer is that everything is negotiable. With a negotiated agreement in hand, it is time to complete the evaluation of the property you want to purchase. This can include an inspection, appraisal, and title work. Your agent will help guide you to closing day, just around the corner.
Selling: When selling your home the first step is making the connection the agent and the seller. Once initial contact is made, it is your realtors job to explain the process from beginning to end. During conversation the seller should be provided not only with information regarding the realtor, but comparable information about pricing. If the seller is comfortable moving forward, paperwork is signed, measurements are taken, pictures are shot, and the home is prepared for market. Once on the market, showings will start and the wait begins. If an offer is received, it is to be reviewed and discussed. This conversation is key to your response. Just like buying you can accept, counter or reject the offer. When an agreement is made, the countdown to closing will begin. If you or someone you know is looking to buy or seller a home, please contact me, Elaina Musleh, I would love to earn your respect and business as I have done with countless others before.

How to Trust Again This Column typically garners advice from an informational perspective, but I am getting more and more questions like this after I write a column regarding a specific topic like infidelity. Here is an example. Dear Carol: I have been married for 30 years. Approximately one year ago, my husband had an affair. It totally devastated me. We are back together and went to marriage counseling for a while. He has been a model husband since that time. We were always together, and I never dreamed there was trouble brewing. He met someone on-line and met up with her. Carol Juergensen Sheets We were separated the first time he met her, and then we got back together. During the time we were back together, he lied about going to a conference and spent the weekend with her. I caught him in his lie and made him move out. After a month he begged to come home, and we have been together since. My question is how long does it take to get over something like this? Some days I feel like I am just hanging on by a thread. We are both in the public eye. He is a minister, and I am an elected official. Will this ever heal? I have read all the books my counselor has recommended. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him and her together, and it is really eating me up. I would appreciate any help or advice you could give. I have even thought about hypnotism.
Signed, Wanting to Trust.
Dear WTT: Hypnotism won’t work because you don’t want to totally erase the memory of his betrayal. That memory protects you from being totally naive. I am glad you are working on trust. A marriage of 30 years deserves that. The average amount of time to work through a betrayal is about two years. Gottman, the father of marital research, says that at least 70% of all men and 40% of all women have had at least one affair in their marriage, so you know you are not alone. Have you had a real opportunity to process your sadness and anger? Many women cannot go on in a relationship until they are sure that their husband knows how this betrayal affected and devastated them. Have you done this? Externalizing anger is very important. I am sure your therapist can help you find safe ways to get the anger out so that you can lessen it and forgive. Many times, not being able to forgive is a way
to continue to punish your partner for all the pain you have experienced. If you have externalized your anger, then you consciously must decide that it is time to trust again or look at a therapeutic separation or divorce. If you decide to stay, trust will take a long time to rebuild, and oftentimes before trust can be rebuilt, one needs to let their partner know exactly what will happen if it is ever violated again. I am assuming that your partner knows that this is the last time you will allow this to happen. If so, give 100% to the marriage by rebuilding that foundation of trust. Make sure to focus on his positives and pride yourself on how you have grown through this whole catastrophe. Recognize the positives in your marriage and your husband and yourself. No matter what, it is very important that you can say that you did everything possible to make your marriage work. You sound like a very strong woman.
