Dear Community,
8 Tips To Guide Your Home Search.
lowed to sublet? How tight is the rental market in your area? All of these factors will help you determine when you should move. 6. Think long term. Are you looking for a starter house with plans to move up in a few years, or do you hope to stay in this home for a longer period? This decision may dictate what type of home you’ll buy as well as the type of mortgage terms that will best suit you. 7. Insist on a home inspection. If possible, get a warranty from the seller to cover defects for one year. 8. Get help from a REALTOR®. Hire a real estate professional who speciallizes in buyer representation. Unlike a listing agent, whose first duty is to the seller, a buyer’s representative is working only for you. Buyer’s reps are usually paid out of the seller’s commission payment
1. Research before you look. Decide what features you most want to have in a home, what neighborhoods you prefer, and how much you’d be willing to spend each month for housing. 2. Be realisitic. It’s OK to be picky, but don’t be unrealistic with your expectations. There’s no such thing as a perfect home. Use your list of priorities as a guide to evaluate each property. 3. Get your finances in order. Review your credit report and be sure you have enough money to cover your down payment and closing costs. Then, talk to a lender and get prequalified for a mortgage. This will save you the heartache later of falling in love with a house you can’t afford. 4. Don’t ask too many people for opinions. It will drive you crazy. Select one or two people to turn to if you feel you need a second opinion, but be ready to make the final decision on your own. 5. Decide your moving timeline. When is your lease up? Are you al-

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2012
By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
Take Note: A Home Inventory Saves Time and Worry
No one expects to lose furniture or other belongings in a fire, a burglary or a storm, but if disaster strikes your home, would you be able to report exactly what you lost? Remembering every single detail about your possessions is a gargantuan task. By keeping an up-todate home inventory, you can get through the clean up and paperwork stage of a
disaster quickly and accurately. According to the Insurance Information Institute, a home inventory can: • determine the value of your belongings and your personal insurance needs • identify exactly what was lost since most people cannot recall items accumulated gradually • establish the purchase dates and prices of major items
in case of a loss • settle your home owner's insurance claim quickly and efficiently • verify losses for income tax deductions. To create your home inventory, start with a looseleaf notebook that you can modify as your possessions change. Use looseleaf paper for your lists and plastic protector sheets to hold receipts, fabric samples and photographs. For the inventory itself, go through each room and list all its contents. If you prefer, walk through each room with
video recorder and describe each item in the room. Be sure to note each item ranging from carpets and rugs to furniture to books, clocks and lamps. Don't forget to open the closets and cupboards and list all the items inside them. On your list, note the item's name, a short description, the purchase date and the purchase price. If the items have serial numbers, list those, too. Back up your written inventory with photo-
graphs of each wall of each room with closet or cabinet doors open. On the back of each picture, write the date, the general location and the contents shown. In your notebook, organize your lists by room. Attach receipts and photos to the list or put them in a plastic protector behind the list. Once you have compiled all your information, the inventory, photographs and video should be kept in a fire-safe place away from your home
such as a safe-deposit box at your bank. But be sure to keep a copy in your home so you can update it as needed. If you do ever have to file a home owner's claim, you will have a comprehensive packet of information available quickly, and you can be on your way to replacing the items that make your house a happy and comfortable home for you and your family. For more information contact the Moore County Home Builders Association at (910)944-2992 or visit us online at www.mchba.com.

Scarlett Allison recently joined the team at Keller Williams Realty Pinehurst. Southern Pines, NC, June 12, 2012
Scarlet Allison recently joined the team at Keller Williams Realty Pinehurst. Allison has been in the real estate industry for eight years and is an ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative) and SRS (Senior Real Estate Specialist). She is part of the National Association of Realtors®, SRS Council, REBAC (Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council), PSPAAR and the North Carolina Association of Realtors®. “Allison is such a great fit for our team,” says Team Leader Donna Campbell. “She’s smart, loves being involved in the community and is passionate about real estate.” Allison’s hometown is Pinehurst, NC where she currently resides with her husband, Craig. “I joined Keller Williams because I was impressed with the opportunities to learn and grow.” says Alli-

Scarlett Allison
son. And it was the network and working with people who are excited about helping others to be successful too that clinched the deal for Allison to join Keller Williams. Before Allison was a Realtor, she was the Director of Programs for Exceptional Children in Montgomery County. She has two children and two grandchildren, received her Bachelors at East Carolina University,
her Masters and her Ph.D. in Speech Pathology, Special Education & Administration at UNCChapel Hill. The Pinehurst Market Center, located at 195 Short Street, Southern Pines, NC, and was established in 2008 and has over 50 associates. To learn more about Keller Williams Realty, call Donna Campbell at 9140692-5553 or visit www.kwpinehurst.co m.
Angela Thompson, of the Keller Williams Realty Pinehurst office, has recently reached “Cap” status. According to the Keller Williams structure, sales associates who reach certain sales goals, earn “cap” status— which entitles them to 100 percent of their earned commission on sales for the remainder of the year. “Angela is a relatively new agent who has lived in this area all her life and is excited about her business in her hometown,” commented Donna Campbell, Team Leader. Thompson, who has been with Keller Williams a year, has grown her business into one of the top 15 producing agents in the area. “She enjoys what she does and it shows,” said Campbell. Thompson grew up on a tobacco and chicken farm in the Vass/Woodlake area of Moore County. She is a member of the Woodlake Women’s Club, active at the New Hope Baptist Church, has

two children who will attend Vass/Lakeview schools in the fall, and is also a licensed General Contractor. Thompson’s husband, Kenny, is a builder with Longhorn Builders LLC and her mother, Portia Cummings, recently retired from BB&T. “With the building background and connections, and the banking knowledge in my family, it is a natural fit that I am the realtor of the family,” states Thompson. Thompson also finds time to enjoy Crossfit and calls herself a Crossfit fanatic. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Meredith College in Studio Art and has pursued graduate studies at Purdue University. When asked about her move to Keller Williams, Thompson stated,”I appreciate the commission split and training. Those were the main things that brought me to KW.” The business models helped Thompson work more effectively by teaching her to make a business plan and
Angela Thompson
set goals. “I am on track to meet my 2012 goals and am very excited about that,” said Thompson. Even though real estate market is still rough, Thompson believes you have to shift with it. Thompson is still building her team and would love to talk with anyone interested in a career in real estate. “The culture of this company is what helps people excel,” said Thompson. Helping one another and sharing in their successes. Keller Williams Realty is located at 195 Short Street in Southern Pines, off Murray Hill Road.
