| Finding Your Dream Home, the Easy Way |
 House hunting is an exciting adventure but if you’re not properly prepared, it can become very aggravating. Here are some things to consider before you start your search:
- Finance Forward - Get pre-qualified so you’re able to determine how much you can afford. Figure out how much you’ll need for expenses such as legal fees and taxes.
- Know Your Needs - Make a list of the features your new home must have. Think about how long you plan on living in the home and whether or not it has to be in move-in condition.
- Location, Location, Location - Determine whether the location of your home's more important than the home itself. Investigate different areas to determine what amenities are available as well as the location of schools.
- The Bold & the Beautiful - Don’t be put off by the orange shag carpet or floral wallpaper. On the other hand, don’t be wowed by their amazing furniture. The key is to visualize the home with your own tastes.
- Old vs. New - Older homes have lots of character and enjoy prime locations but they're less efficient and require more maintenance. Newer homes on the other hand are designed with functionality in mind but they’re often located in unestablished areas with ongoing construction.
- Get out There! - Get acquainted with the market by viewing listings that match your criteria. Being familiar with a variety of different homes in different areas means you’ll be able to act quickly and with confidence when your dream home finally comes along.
House hunting can be a daunting task if you're not properly prepared. To make things easier, let me know what you’re looking for and I’ll arrange to have listings which match your criteria automatically sent to you as soon as they hit the market! You won't have to worry about missing out on the perfect home. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the process!

| Grammar 101 -- How to Spell Them Words Write |
 People are more likely to text, email or message you than they are to pick up a phone. As a result, grammatical errors run rampant. Spell checkers are great but they don’t usually tell us if we're using the correct word. Here are few common errors to be aware of:
- It's vs. Its - It's is the contraction of "it is" (ie. “It’s such a nice day”). Its is the possessive form of it (ie. “Everything in its place”).
- You're vs. Your - You're is the contraction of "you are" (ie. “You’re such a lucky person”). Your is a possessive pronoun (ie. “That’s your bus”).
- Compliment vs. Complement - You’ll compliment your friend’s new home if you like it. If you like the way her drapes match the carpet, you'll tell her they complement each other perfectly.
Grammatical errors happen to the best of us. Its impotent to get this stuff write cause if you donut, your gonna look re-diculous. Stay tuned for more grammatical tips next month. In the meantime, you can always check out www.Dictionary.com if you're ever in doubt.
