It is important for you to know whether an agent is working for you as your agent or simply working with you while acting as an agent of the other party.” “The brochure addresses the various types of working relationships that may be available to you. It should help you decide which relationship you want to have with a real estate agent. It will also give you useful information about the various services real estate agents can provide buyers and sellers, and it will help explain how real estate agents are paid.” As a buyer or seller, you should feel free to ask any questions regarding agency of your REALTOR®. Every professional REALTOR® wants their clients to have full disclosure and a very successful real estate transaction.

The explanation of this important document is as follows: “When buying or selling real estate, you may find it helpful to have a real estate agent assist you. Real estate agents can provide many useful services and work with you in different ways. In some real estate transactions, the agents work for the seller.

5 House Repairs to Tackle
In this economy, you may be tempted to delay or even skip minor home maintenance repairs, cleaning jobs and inspections in your home. But don't be penny-wise and dollar-foolish. That $200 or $300 you save today could result in expenditures of $3,000 or even tens of thousands next month or next year if hidden
problems in your home go unnoticed and become worse. Consider addressing these small jobs before they morph into gigantic, expensive jobs later. Annual HVAC inspection How often: At least once a year. Potential Savings: The furnace blower is not working properly. Cost to repair or
replace: $100-$150. Possible consequence of letting it go: a broken heat exchanger. Potential savings down the road: $300-$1,000 to replace the heat exchanger or $750$3,500, depending on the energy efficiency, to replace indoor or outdoor furnace components. The reversing switch in the heat pump is broken. Cost to repair or replace: $100$300. Letting it go results in no heat from the heat pump, and the system switches to a more expensive auxiliary heat. Potential savings: lower heating bills. Chimney Inspection How often: Once a year. Potential Savings: There's no chimney cap. Cost to add: $150. If you let it go, rain water can get into your chimney, damage the chimney liner
By John Pandich Moore County Home Builders Association President
and damper, and even saturate mortar joints -- causing mold. Potential savings: $2,000$4,000 to replace the chimney liner. Other problems may include: A cracked chimney crown, which can be repaired for $300$500; chimney flashing that needs caulking, which can be done for $80-$100; and waterproofing the exterior brick, $350$600. All these fixes will prevent rainwater from getting in and mold from forming. Termite Inspection How often: Once a year. Potential Savings: If left untreated, termites damage framing, trim, drywall, furniture, carpet, copper and other soft
metals. Termites cause more than $5 billion in damages a year in the U.S. The average homeowner loss for termite damage is $3,000, but losses can be as high as $30,000 or even $80,000. Cleaning and Sealing Wood Deck How often: Every one to three years, depending on the amount of traffic, moss and mold. Proper cleaning gets rid of stains, algae, mold, mildew and moss. Algae and mold can make your deck slippery and dangerous. Sealing your deck after it is cleaned helps prevent water damage. Wood soaks up rain like a sponge, expands and then shrinks. Sealing makes the water bead
up and roll off. And let's not forget -- your deck will look nicer, too. If you let it go, your deck will warp, nails will pop out and the deck won't last as long. Potential savings: $4,000 to $20,000 or more to replace your deck, depending on size. Dryer Vent Cleaning How often: Every year. The purpose is to get rid of lint buildup. If your dryer is not on an exterior wall, it's likely that the vent leading outside is clogged up. If you ignore it, the result could be a disastrous fire. Once the vent gets clogged, the dryer starts overheating and it can catch on fire. Potential savings: Your home, your furnishings, your belongings and your life.

While it’s true that qualifying for a mortgage involves certain requirements, the door remains wide open for first-time homebuyers. In fact, purchasing a home is much easier than most people imagine. But two common “fear factors” are still keeping some renters from achieving their homebuying dreams — misconceptions that could cost big dollars in the long run. Fear of making a huge mistake. Where should I look? How much house can I afford? What type of home loan is best for me? These questions can be difficult for any homebuyer to answer, but they’re especially intimidating for firsttimers. That’s why it’s so important to work with an experienced lender and real estate agent. Taking advantage of their
“I will provide an outstanding mortgage experience from application to closing”
expertise will help you make the right choices. Fear of the process and the paperwork. More than one-third of all renters assume they won’t qualify for a home loan or believe that a lender will require a mountain of paperwork. In reality, applying for a mortgage usually involves minimal documentation, and low-downpayment programs are still available to fit the needs of most homebuyers. Despite their fears, the majority of renters are accelerating their homebuying plans because they don’t want to miss out on historically low interest rates and af-
fordable home prices. Smart decision on their part! But acting now, these soon-to-be property owners will maximize their housing investment instead of letting myths stand in the way. For a free consultation to discuss which type of mortgage loan will work best for you, call Victoria Spannaus at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage at (800) 741-7813 or 910-6926225.
