THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO WHEN BUYING A HOME
Buying a house requires a major investment. If you don’t set yourself up in the best possible financial situation, it could cost you your dream home. Here are some common mistakes to avoid as you prepare to buy a house.
1. DON’T MEET WITH JUST ONE LENDER. It’s a good idea to get pre-approved for a mortgage before you house-hunt. Request a quote from at least three lenders to ensure you get the best rate. A mortgage broker can help make this process easier.
2. DON’T MISS BILL PAYMENTS. If you fall behind on credit card or car loan payments in the months before applying for a mortgage, you risk lowering your credit score and jeopardizing your chances of getting approved.
3. DON’T CHANGE JOBS. When a lender reviews your mortgage application, they want to see financial stability. If you start at a new company or transition from a full-time position to part-time or contract work, this could sow doubt about your ability to make regular mortgage payments.
NEW LISTING MLS# 6112178 3810 105th Ave. SW Willmar 6 bed/3 bath $375,000
4. DON’T MAKE MAJOR PURCHASES. You’re probably excited to buy furniture for your new home, but the period prior to securing your loan is not the ideal time. Until you get a mortgage, it’s best to avoid taking on any new debt. Are you ready to buy a house? If so, it’s best not to go it alone. Among other things, a real estate agent will help you narrow down your search, make a fair offer and navigate the paperwork to ensure everything goes smoothly.

REASONS YOU NEED A REALTOR WHEN BUYING A FORECLOSED HOME
A foreclosed home is one that’s been seized because the previous owner could no longer pay the mortgage. This means the seller will be a bank or other lender trying to recover their investment. If you’re interested in buying this type of property, here are three reasons you should work with a real estate agent.
1. TO ASSESS THE MARKET.
One perk of buying a foreclosed home is that you can usually get it for a lower price. In order to recognize a good deal when you see it, you’ll need someone with extensive knowledge of the local market.
2. TO NAVIGATE THE PROCESS.
There are several differences when it comes to buying a foreclosed property, including the bidding process and the inspection. A professional who’s well-versed in this type of transaction can ensure it goes smoothly.
3. TO PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS.
Since banks have different priorities than the typical seller, they may insist that a prospective buyer agrees to certain conditions. A realtor will negotiate on your behalf to ensure the sale is to your benefit.
In short, no matter what type of home you’re looking to buy, a real estate agent is a valuable ally.
Thinking about buying or selling?
I’d love to be your Realtor!

What to do with the appliances when selling a house If you plan to sell your home, you’ll need to decide whether to include some or all of your appliances in the listing. Here are a few factors to consider before you make a decision.
Reasons to leave them
If most houses on the market in your area include appliances, excluding yours from the deal could deter potential buyers. Alternatively, you could use your appliances as an incentive or a bargaining chip. Leaving hind also eliminates them be the risk that your appliances, floors and walls will get damaged during the move.
Reasons to bring them
If you have expensive, highend appliances, you may not get a return on your investment by bundling them into the price of the house. Another reason to keep your

appliances is if you’re moving to a home without any and you want to avoid the cost of replacing them. Just be sure to hire professional movers with experience transporting heavy items.

Reasons to upgrade them
If you have mismatched applian or recently ces renovated the kitchen, purchasing new stainlesssteel appliances can be an ef fec tive way to increase the value of your home and attract buyers. At the very least, you need to make sure your appliances work properly before you include them in the listing. In most cases, it’s a good idea to adhere to the norms in your housing market. Consult a local real estate agent to determine the best course of action.

TINY HOMES AND THE LAW:
things you should know
Do you dream of downsizing, adopting a minimalist lifestyle and getting closer to nature? If so, a tiny house might be right for you. However, it’s important to be aware that this type of dwelling, while increasingly popular, often still falls into a gray area in terms of the law. Here are some things to keep in mind as you explore your options.
tional vehicle on a property that isn’t zoned for mobile homes. This means you might be required to build your tiny house on a foundation.
3. BUILDING CODES STILL APPLY
While there can be a bit more flexibility if your tiny house is registered as a recreational vehicle, these homes usually need to comply with the local building codes. Among other things, you may need a minimum ceiling height, at least one full bathroom and a window that can be used as an emergency exit.
1. SIZE AND STYLE MATTER
A major decision you’ll need to make regarding your tiny house is whether to build it on a foundation or on wheels.
