Things to consider when moving ...

1. Have you interviewed multiple Realtors® (we do encourage using certified Realtors®)?
   You should know you have the best ... we pride ourselves on exemplary negotiation skills and premier marketing services. Challenge us.
   
2. If you are downsizing are you ready to take on the smaller space yet? Have you consider what materials you will have to dispose of ... (the RosevilleAndRocklin.com Team can help you advertise on the internet for a garage sale or guide you how to post your materials).
   
3. If you are moving-up, how much will it cost to maintain the grounds (utilities, garden services, cleaning a larger space emotionally and physically, pool maintenance, etc)? Are you ready for that included finances and/or time spent maintaining?
4. If you are currently an owner, make sure you understand the money you may or may not have used during refis (refinances), will you be selling competitively or will you be renting?
   4.a. If you will be renting, have you interviewed multiple management companies? Do you understand the undertakings of having a rental and the finances possibly/that are involved? We own multiple properties, and RIGHT NOW is a great time to purchase properties for investment. There are so many things to consider (in-state, out-of-state, how do I manage the property, etc.). Laws for each state are different for monitoring/protecting renters and owners. It is a great option for those that can do it, and many of you can, but we do encourage you to educate yourselves if it is right for you. Ask me more details if you are interested in perhaps purchasing bank-owned properties or you would like me to refer an agent out-of-area (Idaho, Texas, etc.)
   
5. Finally and most importantly, GET PRE-QUALIFIED. There is no point to seeing homes until you are ready to do so ... don't lose the house of your dreams because you weren't ready to make the jump. It does not take much effort and we can guide you how to begin the process. Why waste your time looking at homes that are financially inappropriate for you.
   

In light of all the foreclosures and bank-owned properties in the area, it is imperative you do what is right for you and you educate yourself on all of what you are financially attaching yourself to now and in five years. Keep the lines of communication and knowledge always open for more. Ask MANY questions and protect yourself. It is a great time for move-up buyers and we encourage you to see what options are out there if you are indeed finding yourself in an opportune situation to want, need and are equipped to "move-up."
