National Open House Weekend Tips!

ATTENTION BUYERS!! The time has come to get your comfortable shoes on, grab a water bottle and get the car keys, it's National Association of Realtor's Open House Weekend and in Monmouth County the balloons will be everywhere!!! Here are some handy tips that you may want to keep you from getting overwhelmed by it all. First, make it an occasion to spend some quality time with your significant other by getting a babysitter so you can see as many as possible and look forward to lunch or dinner after 4pm when most of them end. Second, have a plan! Know which areas you are most interested in based on school systems, access to work or family members, Hazlet, Middletown and Holmdel are among the most popular. Try to determine the exact style of house that you like such as a Colonial, Ranch, Split, Bi-Level or Cape. Research these different styles so you have an idea of what they look like from the street and try to resist the temptation to look at any that you know will not be your dream house so will have time to preview the right one.  Establish if you definitely want a garage, this will cut down on the amount of homes you would be tempted to preview on your drive by. Bring a pen and make notes on the print outs offered by the Realtors so you will be able to refresh your memory at the end of the day. And finally, remember to have fun and get excited about the prospect of buying your next home! Joanne Schiffres, http://joannes.betterhomesus.com Better Homes Realty, Hazlet 732-757-5013    

Your Realtor Is A Valuable Resource

Realtors are more than just "door openers".  An experienced full time agent has established and maintained great industry relationships over the years in order to serve his or her clients when it comes to the largest purchase they will ever make. Your Realtor's sole purpose should be to make your transaction as seemless as possible. That is why they should be the first person you go to when you need an important referral such as an attorney, home inspector or most importantly, a mortgage representative. Real Estate transactions are only as good as the people involved in order to move things along in a timely fashion and open communication between those related industries are most important when difficulties arise. Why wouldn't you, the buyer or seller, want all parties involved in your transaction to have your best interests in mind and make this experience one of excitement and joy rather than something else entirely!

Help for Seniors

Click here for more info from my colleague Sandra RostekFebruary 29, 2012 by Wendy Trager Email: wendytrager@optonline.net.   It comes as no surprise that some of the hardest hit in this economy are seniors.  Homes seniors have been living in their whole adult life may now burdensome to pay for and upkeep.  Many seniors feel they have nowhere else to go.  Reverse Mortgages can be the solution for a variety of problems:

  • To help seniors looking to downsize and finance the purchase of a smaller home.
  • To help seniors facing foreclosure
  • To help seniors suffering from job loss and unable to pay their mortgage
  • To help with home repairs
  • To help with sale of home
  • To help a senior stay in their current home and pay for home healthcare
What are the requirements?
  • The homeowners must 62 years old
  • The home must be their principal residence (must live in the home more than half a year)
  • The home must be a single family home, a 2-4 unit building or a federally approved condominium or planned unit development
  • If there are debts against the home, then the homeowner must use the reverse mortgage to pay it off
  • There are NO credit/income requirements
How do reverse mortgages differ from regular mortgage or home equity loans?
  • Traditional mortgage or home equity loans require proof of sufficient income and credit history to qualify, and you will have to repay beginning within 30 days of closing.  With a reverse mortgage, there are no monthly payments to be made at any time during the loan for as long as you continue to occupy the home as a primary residence.  Since there is no monthly payment, the FHA does not require verification of your income and does not require a good credit rating.

CinemaWilde! in Asbury every Sunday

  showroomAsbury Park's The Showroom is an independent cinema (and multi-purpose venue) known for its uniqueness in the triCity area and much of the Jersey Shore.  After some collaboration between the triCityNews editor, Steven Froias, and the owners of The Showroom, CinemaWilde was born!  Launched this past Sunday, March 6th, CinemaWilde will be a twice monthly Sunday afternoon matinee that will run through May.  It will be comprised of films that feature alternative lifestyle themes but after careful consideration, the offerings will be of quality and appeal for all audiences.  The owners and Froias explain that they "are on the same page when it comes to movies."  They "love independent cinema and seek out those films that are considered finds - movies that maybe haven't received the attention they deserve but are great flicks."  showroom2 To ensure that CinemaWilde is not only a series of movies but a social event, movie-goers can take advantage of the special they set up with Asbury's Moonstruck.  Moonstruck has generously offered patrons of CinemaWilde 50% off their entree when dining at the restaurant on film nights. "As always in downtown Asbury, it's the collaboration of the various entities in the creative constellation that lead to great things.  We expect the same of CinemaWilde at the Showroom for it's initial six Sunday afternoon matinee run - with good times to follow at Moonstruck."  - triCityNews Think of it as your live and local Netflix service 0 with more friends and better food! - triCityNews
