People are having to put more money on the line, which has major long term effects, in both positive and negative ways.

Buying a home is also a really complex process! Studies suggest that moving comes only second to divorce as one of the most stressful life events someone will go through. Even with an incredible real estate professional on your side, like Ken Richter, the process is quite involved and will take energy and focus to do well.

Selling your beautiful home, which sits beside a not so beautiful home, can be… challenging.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: curb appeal is everything. Curb appeal can be defined as, “the visual attractiveness of a house as seen from the street.” It has big impact on your home’s first impression. We may be warned against judging a book by its cover, but when it comes to buying a home, buyers are immediately making judgements and assumptions on the quality of the property based on the first glance they get. This is why it is so incredibly important to make sure your property has good curb appeal!

While you can do whatever it takes you increase your own property’s curb appeal, the land around it is out of your hands. Whether owned by…

Having a co-signer reduces the lender's risk as there is now more than one person responsible for ensuring repayment of the loan. With a co-signer, the loan has a backup, someone who will pay if the primary borrower doesn't. Lenders like co-signers and are more likely to lend with them. Parents may choose to act as co-signer for their children to help them qualify for a…
