One of the most stressful elements of the home buying process is obtaining financing for a home loan. Lending restrictions have gotten much tighter over the past few years, and this has made it more difficult for those in the Columbus, OH area to become homeowners. Despite the fact that prices on the properties themselves have been low and affordable, if you can’t get the loan that you need, you can’t make an offer on a home. This has presented a bit of a conundrum for our Buyer-Clients, and as an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent in the Columbus area, I have found it exceedingly important to give those that I work with every bit of advice that I can about successfully obtaining a mortgage loan so they can proceed with their home search.

While lending restrictions are gradually loosening, there are still a number of things that you need to do in order to be successful when applying for a mortgage loan. Here are a few things to avoid right after applying in order to ensure a speedy and stress-free loan process:

Don’t deposit large amounts of cash into your bank account. Your lender needs to be able to source and track all of your money as they review your application. Cash is not really traceable. Small deposits that are easily explained are okay, however large cash gifts and their source are not. If you need to deposit a large sum, contact your loan officer and discuss the best way to document it.

Avoid large purchases. Buying things such as a new car or new furniture, however needed they may be, is not wise after applying for a loan. Additional monthly debt payments will take away from your potential mortgage payment. This can take you from being a qualified borrower to a risky one. Prioritize what needs to be purchased and hold off on other large items until after your closing.

Don’t co-sign any additional loans. You are obligated when you put your signature on a loan for someone else, and with that comes higher debt ratios. You become a riskier borrower. Even if you won’t be the one making the monthly payments on that loan, your lender WILL count it against you.

Refrain from changing bank accounts. Remember, your lender needs to be able to easily track all of your assets before you’re approved. In order for this to be done both accurately and quickly, your accounts need to be consistent, and changing bank accounts can complicate things. Even transferring money between accounts can get confusing. Talk to your lender before making decisions about where to place your money.

Don’t apply for new credit. When you have a credit report that has multiple financial channels on it, your FICO score will be affected. Lower credit scores will determine your interest rate and alter your eligibility for approval. Applying for new credit, whether it is for a car or a new new credit card, will affect your score, and that can potentially alter your eligibility for a loan.

Try not to close any credit accounts. There’s a common myth out there that having less available credit for review will make you a less risky borrower, thus bettering your chances for approval. This is inaccurate. A major component of your credit score is length and depth of history. Your total usage of credit is also a factor. Closing a credit account will actually negatively impact your score, as you are negating some of that history that you have built.

Avoiding these common errors after applying for a mortgage on your Columbus, OH home will certainly help the home buyer process move much faster. Obtaining a loan can be a stressful part of the transaction, however if you know which behaviors to avoid and which documents you need for the application, then everything will go much more smoothly. If you have any questions about buying a home on the Columbus, OH real estate market, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d be happy to help you in any way that I can and put you in touch with some lenders in the Columbus area. I hope to hear from you soon!

Many who enter a buyer transaction on the Columbus, OH real estate market don’t realize the difference between a buyer’s agent and an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent. The clients that we work with are all Buyer-Clients, but we are not a typical real estate agency. We are an Exclusive Buyer’s Brokerage. You can probably deduce from the category of our real estate niche that we only work with home buyers, but what you may not know are the benefits of having this type of agency at your disposal on the Columbus real estate market. These types of real estate agents only make up less than one half of one percent of agencies nation-wide, so if you’re a buyer, you will want to use them if you have the opportunity to. Here are a few reasons why:

1.    Exclusive Buyer’s Agents do NOT participate in dual agency. We consider it unethical to work on behalf of a buyer and seller in the same transaction. How can any Columbus real estate professional claim to be looking out for the best interest of one party if they’re also helping the other? Exclusive Buyer’s Agents work ONLY with home buyers, ensuring that they will look out for your best interest and yours alone, during a transaction.

2.    Exclusive Buyer’s Agents do NOT list homes or represent sellers. Part of our commitment to adhering to the highest ethical standards in real estate is to work only with buyers. We represent solely the best interests of this party in every transaction, reassuring our clients that we are only working in their best interest.

3.    Exclusive Buyer’s Agents will show their clients all types of properties. From listings from a variety of agents to For Sale By Owner homes to distressed properties, we will present our clients with all of the options. We’ll work with you to find the property that best fits your needs.

4.    We offer a unique relationship of trust to our Buyer-Clients. Because of our goals and priority to work in the best interest of the buyer, the majority of people who use an Exclusive Buyer’s Brokerage for their Columbus home search trust their agent. Oftentimes, people are hesitant to trust the real estate agent that they work with due to dual agency or the fact that they are showing buyers the listings that they’re selling. In this transaction, you have an advocate who is working 100% for you.

These are just a few of the many reasons why working with an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent may be the right choice for you as you embark on your Columbus, OH real estate transaction. Buying a home is a stressful process, and it’s easy to get overlooked as a buyer in favor for seller demands. When you use an agent who works ONLY on the behalf of the buyer’s side of a transaction, you can feel confident knowing that you’re getting the full support of the real estate professional that you’re working with.

If you have any questions about what an Exclusive Buyer’s Brokerage can do for you during your Columbus real estate transaction, don’t hesitate to contact me and ask. I’ll explain our goals and how we can help guide you throughout your home search. I hope to hear from you soon.

As an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker in the Columbus, OH area, I get asked this question a lot. I work with buyer-clients on regularly who are interested in moving to Columbus or one of the surrounding areas, and its part of my job to show them why this city is such a great place to live. Besides the fact that you can get a mixture of small town and metropolitan lifestyles here, there are a multitude of other reasons why Columbus is a fantastic place to live for so many. Since I’m focused in getting people to move to the area, not away from here, I make it a priority to know everything I can about all of the communities in Metro Columbus.

Whenever I’m showing my buyer-clients around Columbus, Worthington, or any of the other surrounding communities, I always make sure to be as informative as possible. Any information that I can tell a client about an area, I share. I also make sure to let them know what elements of the community best support their individual needs. Here are five of the elements that I find myself talking about most frequently:

1.    We’re nationally recognized as a great place to live. The city of Columbus has been consistently ranked as one of the best places to live by CNN Money magazine. These rankings are based on important things like affordability, crime rate and quality of schools, all of which are crucial to those who are looking to relocate. The national recognition the city has received is only part of what makes it such an attractive option to my buyer-clients.

2.    There are a number of universities in the area. The Columbus metropolitan area is home to 25 different colleges and universities, including the nationally-renowned The Ohio State University. This makes the area attractive to a variety of people, from students to professors to families who are looking for a variety of local college options for their kids. It adds an element of diversity to the community.

3.    It’s got a friendly, Midwest quality. People all over the country love the openness and friendliness that typically characterizes the Midwest, and in Columbus, you get that coupled with a lifestyle that accompanies a more urban setting. It’s the best of both worlds.

4.    There is no better location. Situated smack-dab in the middle of the Midwest, Columbus is a one day car ride or one hour flight away from about half of the country’s population. Not bad, eh? This makes it all the easier for friends and family to come and visit you.

5.    There is ample opportunity for employment. While some areas in the country are still feeling the strains of low job rates, in Columbus, you have a multitude of major Fortune 1,000 Companies to work for. The local economy is made up of a diverse number of industries, making it the perfect location for those who are looking to break in to a business.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are a number of different reasons our buyer-clients choose to buy a home on the Columbus real estate market. As an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker in the area, I think that it’s important to point out its best qualities in order to help my clients find the neighborhood that will work well for their needs. If you have any questions about the Columbus, OH area, or if you want to know more about it, don’t hesitate to contact me and ask. I’d be happy to tell you more about it. I hope to hear from you soon!

Buying a home is often the biggest purchase a person will ever make – so of course there are a rollercoaster of emotions attached to this transaction. But what if your emotions get in the way of your best interests?  All too often home buyers pass up a great deal or pay too much for their “dream home” because their feelings are causing foggy judgment. While you may think you have your emotions under control, it’s always best to have an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker on your side to ensure you are making the best move for everyone involved. After all, you want to make a good investment, right? Not a spontaneous and emotion-driven purchase.

As a seasoned Columbus buyer’s agent, I have seen both ends of the stick: home buyers who make the best investment of their life, and also those who let their emotions take over. Here are some of the common mistakes home buyers tend to make, and how they can be avoided.

Love at First Sight: While this may be how you live your personal life, the same guidelines don’t register with real estate. In fact, when it comes to real estate there should be no such thing as love at first sight. While it’s perfectly okay to fall in love with a home quickly, it may not be the best idea to sign a contract without touring other homes. It’s important to remember that a home goes beyond the aesthetics. If there are a few drawbacks, don’t just assume you will make it work – because this could result in buyer’s remorse. Make sure the home you’ve fallen for will be the best purchase for every facet of your life, including your wants and needs.

Lowball Offers: With affordable housing prices and record low mortgage rates, you’ve got some competition out there for newly listed homes, especially if they are priced competitively. There are people who are willing to pay close to the asking price or above  to snag a home so timing is critical. The key is to determine accurately what the home is really worth in today’s market price-point. There is nothing wrong with offering below asking price or even substantially below if you and your metro Columbus Exclusive Buyer’s Agent have done their research – which we will! But throwing in a crazy-low offer from the get go could send a distinct message to the seller to not take you as a legitimate buyer and may actually cost you even more. As a Columbus, OH Exclusive Buyer’s  Broker, we can work together so the odds are in your favor.

Looking for the Next Best Thing: Okay. So you’ve looked at more homes than you can count and you still haven’t found “the one.” So what do you do now? Above I mentioned today’s affordable housing prices. This fact gives buyers a false sense of “something better coming along.” No exclusive buyer’s broker can promise you that something bigger, better and cheaper won’t come along the day after you close on a home – but you could be passing up a lot of great properties if you chose to conduct your home search in this fashion. Be smart, know the market value for the Columbus, OH area and do your homework. You don’t want to find out that the home you really loved has closed with another buyer when you finally decide to make an offer.

I hope these tips have given you some insight on how to handle the emotional process of home buying. It can be difficult to set your feelings aside (especially when dealing with something as big as a home purchase) but I promise that in the end you will be happier with your decision. If you are in the position to buy a Columbus, OH home, feel free to contact me anytime. I look forward to helping you complete a smooth transaction.

In my opinion, the best part about living in Columbus and other areas of Central Ohio is that there is never a lack of things to do.

One of the largest benefits of being an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker in Columbus, OH is that I get to help home buyers from all over the metropolitan area search for and find the perfect place to live. Since Columbus is such a large city, there are several outlying communities and suburbs in close proximity to the area, each with their own distinguishing qualities. I always tell my Buyer-Clients that before you start looking at properties you have to nail down what neighborhood you want to live in first. Think about it: if you find the perfect home, but you are unhappy with the area that it’s in, will you EVER be completely happy living there? Probably not. That’s why before you jump the gun on looking at homes in the Columbus Metro area; you should choose which of the great neighborhoods you’d really want to call home.

Whether it’s Dublin, Upper Arlington, Bexley or any of the other communities in the area, you will likely find a town near Columbus, OH that fits your needs. Here are a few helpful tips that will ensure you find the perfect neighborhood:

Step 1: Profile your ideal neighborhood. Every community has characteristics that make it different from the ones surrounding them. Similarly, every home buyer has different needs or wants that they require for an ideal neighborhood. Before you start looking, write down the qualities that you absolutely need in a community. Base it upon what you and your family want for the future and what you need for the present. Ask yourself questions like, “Will I be commuting to a major city to work?” and “Will I be starting a family soon?” These might not seem like important issues for a home search, but they play a factor in where you should live and your overall happiness with your lifestyle. They’re questions that need to be considered.

Step 2: Hone in on the area that best fits your profile. Since you know what kind of neighborhood you want to be in, now is the time to connect with your Exclusive Buyer’s Agent in Columbus, OH and figure out which neighborhood in the area best fits that criterion. From there, focus on that neighborhood and start doing some research. Find out everything you can about that neighborhood and even pay it a visit and ask people who live there how they like it. The more you know early-on, the faster you will figure out whether or not that area is right for you.

Step 3: Compile as much information as possible. How are the schools in the area you’re interested in? What is the crime rate? What attractions and activities are in close proximity to the town? These are all questions that need to be asked before you begin your home search. You can’t ask your Exclusive Buyer’s Agent to answer questions about schools and what kind of people live in an area outright, as it is against Fair Housing Laws, but you can pay a visit to the town and ask people in the area what their thoughts are. You can also ask your agent for a school report and look up public statistics about your area of interest online.

Step 4: Piece the information that you’ve gathered together. After making a few initial visits to the area and doing research, you need to sit down and go over what you know to determine if this is really the right neighborhood for you. A place could look great on paper but upon visiting it, you realize that it wouldn’t be a good fit. Similarly, a place that you visited and loved could have schools that don’t quite make the grade. It’s important to think carefully about what you’ve found out about each neighborhood before choosing on the one you’re going to call home. Use your senses and go with your instincts.

Step 5: Start your home search! After weighing the options, you should have an idea of what area you’d like to live in, so you can then start narrowing down your home search accordingly. You’ll be a happier homeowner knowing that you’ve found just the right neighborhood!

As your Exclusive Buyer’s Broker for the metro Columbus area, I work solely with home buyers. My experience has shown that people experience more buyers’ remorse after closing if they don’t do a little bit of research on neighborhoods before starting to search. If you have any questions about the cities and towns in the Columbus Metro area, don’t hesitate to contact me! I’d be happy to give you information about each area. I hope to hear from you soon!

An article at RealtyTimes.com by Jennifer Allen asks the question: Is real estate really a relationship business? She says that it should not be, but adds:

“This means the more people who know you and like you, the more real estate you’ll sell. Selling real estate is about knowing how to sell real estate. Let’s say that differently. It’s about knowing how to manage and facilitate the exchange of real property so that the buyer or seller who hired you is satisfied with the outcome.
Sure, building a real estate business may have everything to do with your relationships, but, as agents, that’s not what we do. Is tax preparation a relationship business? Is dentistry a relationship business? Is dog-training a relationship business? No, we expect our tax preparers to know how to prepare taxes. We hope our dentists know how to fix cavities. We expect a dog-trainer to be a master in dog behavior. That’s their business. Our buyers and sellers have the right to expect that we know our business. This means how to manage and facilitate the exchange of real property, not how to persuade our “dear friends” to provide us with easy paychecks.”
———-
But what really stands out to me is this telling statement:
“It’s about knowing how to manage and facilitate the exchange of real property so that the buyer or seller who hired you is satisfied with the outcome.”

Really? Is it about facilitation? My answer is an emphatic “Heck no!” A “facilitator” just tries to get along to “do the deal”… and not be an advocate for the buyer. We ARE advocates!

You want a “facilitator”? Go find another real estate broker. You want an “advocate” as a true Exclusive Buyer’s Broker? Then you know who to use! After all, it’s “only” your home and the biggest financial transaction of your lifetime!

One of the biggest benefits of being an exclusive buyer’s broker in Columbus is that I’m constantly in-the-know about the biggest events going on in the area. Since part of my responsibility is to be familiar with the Columbus metropolitan area, I make it a priority to keep up with major cultural and community events in order to let my buyer-clients know what’s new. One of the major perks of living in Columbus or one of its surrounding communities is that you are in a major metropolitan area with a thriving, vibrant lifestyle. There is never a lack of things to do in the area!

There are always so many entertaining shows and productions coming to the city.  Whether you are new to the area or have lived here for years, going to see a theatrical production is a fantastic way to enjoy the area. There are many awesome plays coming to Columbus this month, and in the interest of remaining your go-to community resource, I thought that I’d share what they are:

Find out how Pink Teas and Frying Pans are related. Yes, there is a play called “Pink Teas and Frying Pans: A Cook’s Life on the Canal”, and it’s being performed by the Echoes in Time Theatre located at the Ohio History Center, near 1-71 and East 17th Avenue. Being performed on Saturdays and Sundays through April 28th, this production is about an Ohioan who worked on canal pack boats. This play is perfect for history buffs, and it’s free with museum admission. Perfect. Call 1-800-686-6124 for tickets.

Whether you have recently relocated to the Columbus, OH area or you have lived here for your entire life, you can enjoy the city in a different way each visit by going to the theatre.

Although our firm never represents sellers or their property, we do pay attention to trends from the marketing/selling side of the profession because it affects our buyer-clients.

Everyone likes to tour a properly staged home because it is pleasant and comfortable. But from our point of view, staging alone is seldom enough. This recent article in Realty Times moves far beyond a quick coat of paint, de-cluttering and enlightened furniture placement to stage a home for viewing by buyers. And that a good thing.

A updated and well-maintained home is what we want for our clients. Some of the old ideas of preparing a home for sale by focusing on surface fixes and cosmetic enhancements (same witch—new dress) seem to be retreating in the face of the powerful buyer’s market that has gripped so many areas. Author Al Heavens discusses ways of actually improving the product instead of simply dressing it up.

We would like to think that this represents a permanent trend driven by changing business or cultural values rather than a temporary market-driven fad. But we doubt it.

Once this current market cycle has ended…well…who knows for sure? We will keep reminding our clients to remember that a witch in a new dress is still a witch.

I help people buy new homes for their families. I saw a quotation a couple days ago that reminded me of why I do what I do. The quote by G.K. Chesterton was posted on Gretchen Rubin’s blog, The Happiness Project. Here’s the quote.

“There are no chains of houses; there are no crowds of men. The colossal diagram of streets and houses is an illusion, the opium dream of a speculative builder. Each of these men is supremely solitary and supremely important to himself. Each of these houses stands in the centre of the world. There is no single house of all those millions which has not seemed to someone at some time the heart of all things and the end of travel.” –G. K. Chesterton

Of course I want you to be happy with your home. But I want more for you. I want you to be happy in your home.

Stay in touch. Ask me questions. Request information. Tell me about big, transitional events in your life—your son’s graduation, your daughter’s big victory, your once-in-a-lifetime vacation.

I got to know you pretty well when we bought your home together. I’m still interested. Let me know how you are doing.

Your home is important. I think this song by Cathy Fink captures it.

HOME by Cathy Fink

Home

Everyone needs a place that they like to call home

There’s a sweet melody that embraces your heart

And waltzes you back to your home

A long day at work

A long day at play

A place you feel safe at the end of the day

Home

There are places to go and people to see

Adventures to travel we know

A world full of wonder awaits you and me

But nothing quite calls me like home

A bird in its nest

A whale out at sea

There’s a place in this world that’s just right for me

Home

There’s a home that I live in where soup’s on the stove

And my key’s the right fit for the door

But wherever I travel, wherever I roam

My heart keeps the beat of my home

A long day at work

A long day at play

A place you feel safe at the end of the day
