Request a Free Presentation On How We Will Market and Sell Your Home. Remember, All REALTORS® Are NOT Alike.  A "Listing Presentation" is an industry term for the formal presentation that a REALTOR® makes to prospective home sellers, trying to earn their trust and business. Don't list your home with a real estate agent without it! We would love the opportunity to make such a presentation to you. We'll visit your Vergennes, Ferrisburg and Middlebury home, and together we will walk through it, considering the positives and negatives (if any!). You will then see exactly how we would propose to sell your home, for as much as the market will bear, and within your time frame. We will tell you where we will advertise your home, both in print and on the web. With the dramatic growth in homebuyer usage of the web, you MUST have a top REALTOR® that can extensively market your home online! And you'll find out what your Vergennes, Ferrisburg and Middlebury home is worth, because part of our presentation will include a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) of your home. We'll compare your home to others like it in Vergennes, Ferrisburg and Middlebury that have recently sold, and also to others that are currently for sale. This is a very important way of determining the fair market value of your home. We make free presentations and prepare CMAs for prospective home sellers every day. We've literally done hundreds, and we know exactly what puts a big SOLD sign in your front yard. We'd love the chance to make a presentation for you. It is totally free and without any obligation. Call us! Or fill out this form... Yes, you can request a FREE in-home presentation of how we would market your property in Vergennes, Ferrisburg and Middlebury! We do these presentations for people all the time. It's our job! There's no obligation, and we'll get back to you quickly...
First Time Buyers >Affording A Home
Are you getting ready to buy your first home? It is important to know how much you can afford before you begin looking at properties. Talking with a lender and getting pre-approved for a loan puts you in a stronger negotiating position with sellers.
As a rule, your monthly housing costs should not exceed 28% of your monthly pre-tax income. These costs include the mortgage payment, real estate taxes, and insurance. If you have long-term debts, such as student loans or car payments, your monthly payments, including your housing costs, should be less than 36% of your pre-tax monthly income. Some loans, such as VA and FHA loans, are more flexible with these basic guidelines.
Depending on which type of mortgage you select, you can consider houses in various price ranges. An adjustable-rate mortgage will usually enable you to qualify for a higher loan amount. Your real estate agent can help you make the basic calculations. Remember that buying at the top end of your price range gives you more time to outgrow your home, and can save you money over the long term.
