New Homebuyers: Take Care of These Five Things After Moving Into Your New Home!

If you’re moving into a new home, I have five tips that you can take care of right away:

1. Change out your locks. You never know if you were given every copy of your key when you moved in! To be safe, change out every lock within your home.

2. Change your garage code. To piggy back off my first tip, this is important if you have children that may have given out that code.

3. Change your furnace filter. This helps make sure your furnace is clean and ready for a fresh start!

4. Replace batteries in your smoke alarms.

5. Check out your sprinkler system. Be sure to check all of the sprinkler lines and that you are familiar with the system!

Find the BEST Real Estate Agent for You: Ask These Three Questions!

Today I wanted to address a question that I have been getting a lot lately and that is about the questions you should ask while interviewing a real estate agent. Before I go into that, I wanted to remind to check out our blog for your free home valuation report and the full home search.

What questions should you be asking a real estate agent

Some key questions that you ask when interviewing any real estate agent are:

1.    What services are you providing? You need to find out what this agent can do for you. Do they work with buyers, sellers or both? You need to find an agent that fits your needs.

2.    How do they operate their business? Do they run everything as a “one-man show” by showing buyers, doing their own listings and marketing or do they have those tasks broken into a team?

3.    What is their track record? Don’t be afraid to ask any agent show many transactions they had last year or how many buyers and sellers they are working with now. Also, be sure to ask for references or their past ten clients. Getting first-hand experience from these clients instills confidence in this agent.

If you any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Thanks and have a great day!

Today I wanted to give you an update of the Gillette real estate market. Due to the steady inventory, the market is swinging in the buyer’s favor. There is a steady flow of homes entering the market as well as new construction combining to about 480 homes for sale. The average list price is about $217,000 with an average of 150 days on market. If you’re looking to sell, those are some numbers to keep track of! Interest rates are still at historic lows. Depending on the loan and credit, you can get a 30 year mortgage at around 4% and 3% for a 15 year mortgage. I don’t think interest rates will rise much in the coming months and will remain steady.
