Real Estate Tips

Time to Move >Remodel Or Move

At some point your present home may begin to feel cramped. You would like enough room to have an "adult haven", but you must weigh the price of a larger home over against the prospect of living with contractors and plaster dust for a long time. Is it better to remodel or to look for a new home?

Before you decide on a major home improvement project, talk with a real estate agent who knows your neighborhood. Will the changes you have in mind over-improve your home, making it difficult to re-sell? Will you be able to recover the cost of your investment? Find out how much your present home is currently worth, and how much home equity you have. You may be able to make a substantial down payment that lowers your mortgage payments on a larger home. It may be worth making a move to avoid the stress and inconvenience of remodeling, if you can find a new home with all the features you would like to add to your present home.

I realize that buying and selling a home is one of the most crucial financial transactions of your life. In what can be a confusing and sometimes difficult process, it pays to leave as little to chance as you can. With my help, you can navigate unknown territory with ease. To fill the specific residential needs of home buyers and sellers, the Residential Sales Council of the National Association of REALTORS institutes a class of expert real estate professionals: the Certified Residential Specialists (CRS). Fewer than 3% of all Realtors have earned the right to be called a "CRS". Fewer than 3% have developed special residential sales skills and enhanced their residential sales knowledge through education, dedication and experience. At Bonnie Ferrell & Co., Inc., I am proud of the fact that I have earned the CRS designation, and therefore have the knowledge and experience to assist you through the entire home buying process. Additionally I am also a licensed residential and commercial contractor. I have been actively building new homes since 1996. I invite you to put my vast skills and knowledge to work for you.
