Selling Central Vermont Real Estate, FSBO or REALTOR?

August 15, 2011 by Leave a comment

Selling Central Vermont real estateIf you are considering selling Central Vermont real estate the question you may be pondering is: should I sell my home as a FSBO or with the help of a Central Vermont REALTOR®?  This is a good question to ask yourself, after all, in today’s crazy economy who isn’t wanting to save money wherever possible?

A good first step is to examine what is involved with selling your Central Vermont property on your own, FSBO is an acronym for “for sale by owner”.  Of course you can sell your home on your own, but it will involve effort, it will entail headaches, and it will entail a great deal of leg work.

A Central Vermont REALTOR® is educated and experienced in selling Central Vermont real estate.  He can price your home competitively, suggest how to prepare your home for sale, and follow through on advertising and marketing your Central Vermont real estate so that it will attract as many potential buyers as possible.  Selling Rochester VT real estate involves more than simply putting a sign in the front yard.

Central Vermont Real Estate, Reasons For Refinancing

August 1, 2011 by Leave a comment

Financing Central Vermont real estateIf you own Central Vermont real estate, a home in Montpelier or a farm in Rochester VT, you may wonder what the reasons would be for refinancing.  There are many reasons, believe it or not, the most obvious of which may appear to be lowering your monthly mortgage payment.

If you own Central Vermont real estate and have equity in your home or property you may want to refinance for any of the following reasons:

  • To get some cash out for remodeling, vacation, educational expenses, or another expense, if you have equity in your home.
  • To have a longer loan, perhaps you have a 15 year loan and want to extend it to 30 to lower your monthly payments.
  • You want to join two or more loans that are outstanding on your home into one loan.
  • You want to take advantage of today’s rates and lower the interest rate on your home loan.

Refinancing the mortgage on your Central Vermont real estate involves adjusting the terms of your loan, whether it means adjusting the length of your loan, lowering the interest of your loan, or adjusting the principal amount of your loan.  If you have good credit, equity in your home, and steady employment, now could be a great time to consider refinancing your Central Vermont property.
