Ringing in New Goals

I love the New Year - a time to purge the old - the excitement and hope of setting new goals. Funny thing is, my current list of goals hasn't been fully completed - not that I didn't make the effort - it's just the year flew by much too quickly - I truly think the world is spinning faster on its axis.

If you are planning to buy or sell a home in 2009, I thought I would share some tips to put on your New Year's list.

TIP FOR SELLERS: As you put away those Holiday decorations, box up whatever else you aren't going to use over the next year. Your home will look larger with less in it and you will begin to feel organized and less overwhelmed when you face that stage in the selling process of getting your house in showing condition.

TIP FOR BUYERS: With interest rates at historic lows, be ready to take advantage of a sudden drop. Experts stress to borrowers that they gather the information they need for loan application - tax returns for the past two years, most recent pay stubs and bank statements. You can then be in a position to act quickly. And from a professional realtor's perspective, when there is a home that comes on the market that is an excellent value, there are clients ready to take advantage of that opportunity which creates multiple offers on that home.

You will find more TIPS FOR SELLERS and TIPS FOR BUYERS on my website at http://www.BeverlyComeau.com.

MAY 2009 BRING YOU GOOD HEALTH, LAUGHTER AND PROSPERITY!
