The Lowry Team :: Reasons Why You Should Hire A Real Estate Agent

November 14, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Hire a real estate agent when selling your homeHire A Real Estate Agent To Sell Your House.

Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There’s advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of seasoned professionals. Here are a few of the reasons why you should hire a real estate agent:

Pricing it Right – When selling a house, it is important to price it right. Eric Lowry, Listing Specialist and CEO of The Lowry Team, will share your home’s current market value with you. Comps will be run on other similar homes in the same market area.  These items, together with the trends in the real estate market, will help Eric determine the right listing price for your home.

Negotiations: There is more to the negotiation process then agreeing upon a price.  You may negotiate the type of financing and the closing date.  Also, closing costs, repairs made to the home and personal property are items that can make or break a deal.  In the end, sometimes a small concession is all that is needed to agree upon a final purchase contract. However, emotions can get in the way.  A third party professional with experience in negotiations will look out for your best interests. 

Paperwork – From the listing to the closing table, a real estate professional will handle all of the complicated paperwork. We’ll help you understand everything from the contract contingencies to the details of the closing process, all while taking care of all the paperwork for you.

Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team Keller Williams Realty has over 16 years of full time real estate experience. He has extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.

In addition, when you hire Eric Lowry you are hiring a team of specialists.  The Lowry Team is “Different By Design“… taking a team approach to home buying and selling. The Lowry Team consists of members that are focused on areas of specialization including Listing Specialists, Buyer Specialists, Transaction/Listing Coordinator and a Marketing Director.

The Lowry Team Keller Williams :: The Advantages Of Buying A Home

October 29, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

 “The Advantages Of Buying A Home”

Advantages of Buying a HomeThe Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University reported “5 Financial Reasons To Buy A Home.”

1.  Housing is the one leveraged investment available. According to the Harvard report, “Home ownership allows households to amplify any appreciation on the value of their homes by a leverage factor.”

2.  You are paying for housing whether you own or rent. The report states, “Home owners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while the households that rent pay down the principal of a landlord.”

3.  Owning is usually a form of “forced savings.” Harvard research has found, “Having to make a house payment one way or the other, owning a home can overcome people’s tendency to defer savings.”

4.  There are substantial tax benefits to owning. This is because “home owners are able to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from their income.”

5.  Owning is a hedge against inflation. Research done by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University indicates that, “Housing costs and rents have tended over most time periods to go up at or higher than the rate of inflation, making owning an attractive proposition.”

There are many advantages of buying a home, financial or otherwise.  If you are considering buying your first home you can start your home search here:

The Lowry Team Keller Williams :: Top Home Buying Mistakes

October 21, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Buy-Today-KCMBuying a home can be a daunting task.  It is likely the most expensive purchase that you will ever make.  Just one mistake could mean disaster — resulting in a stressful experience and one that may not end with you in the home of your dreams.   In order to avoid such an experience, buyers should get to know the most common home buying mistakes.

The top home buying mistakes to avoid:

Going solo: Buying a home is a complex process, one that a real estate agent specializes in navigating.  A real estate agent will advocate for you and your interests throughout the whole process, which makes it important for you to find the agent that will best fit your needs.  The Lowry Team takes a team approach to home buying and selling.  The Lowry Team consists of members that are focused on areas of specialization including Listing Specialists, Buyer Specialists, Transaction/Listing Coordinator and a Marketing Director. This ensures that you get more focused attention and your home buying or selling process goes as smoothly as possible.

Love at first sight: Be sure that your home fits your real needs. Buying a home is an emotional process and it may be that the first home for sale that you see is the perfect fit.  Just be sure that you are looking past the “perfect” paint colors and the granite counters, to be sure that the home fits your budget and your lifestyle. Be sure the home is in a community and neighborhood you feel comfortable in. Drive around in neighborhoods several times before you buy to check out schools, noise and traffic patterns.

Shopping without being pre-approved: Get pre-approved for a mortgage before you begin looking at homes for sale.  This will give you an idea of not only how much you can afford to borrow, but also how much you are comfortable borrowing. It’s also critical to be pre-approved for a mortgage before making an offer, sellers will take you more seriously. The Lowry Team has a preferred lender that will help you get the process started.

Buying too much home: Buy more than you can afford, and your dream home will become a nightmare. Analyze all your monthly costs including debts, food, transportation, entertainment, and savings. Your total monthly debts, including your mortgage, should not exceed 36 percent of your income before taxes. Don’t forget to budget closing costs, plus moving, redecorating and maintenance. Look ahead and allow for increases in ongoing expenses such as utilities and taxes.

Misplaced trust: You are engaged in what’s likely your most valuable purchase ever. It’s a business transaction. Ask family, friends & co-workers for referrals, but don’t take their word for it. Be sure that the professionals you are working with have experience and your best interests in mind.

Accepting oral agreements: Get it in writing. The rate lock, the home inspection, disclosures, the contract. Always. Should a dispute arise, you’ve got the details documented.

Skipping the fine print: Understand what’s really in any document before signing it. Get documents in advance, take time to read them and ask questions. Get copies of your mortgage and closing papers a few days ahead of closing.

Forgetting or betting on resale: Avoid buying a home that costs 50 percent more than neighboring homes. Reconsider buying the most expensive home on the block. The neighbors’ lower home values will weaken yours.

Making an unconditional offer: Protect yourself with these contingencies:

1. Mortgage financing: You may be pre-approved but is the house? A formal appraisal confirms — or not — that there is sufficient value in the home to warrant the loan. If the house appraises lower than the sales price, the loan may be declined.

2. Inspection: Never buy an existing or new home without a thorough home inspection. Walk through the home with the inspector to learn more about the house and any concerns he or she may have.

3. Insurance: Confirm you can get adequate insurance coverage. In some areas, or following certain disasters, it can be difficult to get certain types of hazard insurance.

The Lowry Team’s Top 10 Fall Home Maintenance Tips

October 15, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team’s Top 10 Fall Home Maintenance Tips

Fall home maintenanceIt’s that time of year….time for Fall home maintenance.  There is plenty to do but by working through this list, you are preventing future maintenance problems. Here are 10 Fall home maintenance tips that The Lowry Team recommends:

1. Clean the gutters – Clean the gutters and downspouts of sticks, leaves and other debris. If necessary, replace the gutters with those that have leaf guards.

2. Caulk around the windows – This is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent heat from escaping your house.

3. Check paint and siding – Blistering and peeling paint on the exterior walls of your home is a sign that your siding may no longer be protected.

4. Seal the driveway – Sealing the cracks extends the life of your driveway.

5. Inspect your roof – Look for shingles that are loose or missing.  If needed, have a professional repair the roof before Winter.

6. Winterize the deck – Clean your porch, deck and furniture.  Cover the furniture and your grill. Store everything away from the elements.

7. Drain exterior faucets – Disconnect the garden hoses from the house and drain water from the faucets to prevent freezing.

8. Prepare yard equipment for storage – Clean and empty the fuel from lawn mowers, weed trimmers and other yard equipment.

9. Inspect heat sources – Prior to use, have your furnace serviced and your fireplace inspected.

10. Reverse ceiling fans – Reversing the ceiling fan blades helps to distribute warm air from the ceilings throughout the room.

The Lowry Team has a preferred vendor list.  If you need Fall home maintenance work done, call us at 513-874-1830.  We would be happy to recommend someone to you.
