Stumped about the ever-shifting market?
Fine tune your perspective
Hello Neighbors!
Wow, when they called today’s real estate market a "shifting market," they were right on target. It keeps shifting, and shifting, and shifting ...

It is a nerve-rattling experience - a home inspection on your Gulf Shores home! If you are like most sellers, you may be more than a bit nervous when the home inspection rolls around. As most people know, a home inspection can make or break your Gulf Shores real estate transaction. Although there's not much you can do regarding the unknown, there are a few simple tips that can make the home inspection process a bit more pleasant:

You hear it all the time – kitchens sell houses. But you need to get your Gulf Shores house sold and you certainly don't have the time or the budget required for a kitchen makeover. Now what?
Dealing with the Cabinets
Grab a scrub brush, a bucket and some elbow grease and thoroughly clean the cabinets of fingerprints, grease and residue. If that does the trick then consider yourself ahead of the game. Otherwise, read on.
Sometimes a fresh coat of paint and new cabinet hardware are all it takes to update cabinets. You may also want to consider paying a professional to resurface the cabinets. This will obviously cost more than a can of paint, but a lot less than the cost of new cabinets. And the results are typically impressive.

Financing Solutions with David Reed
Bridging the lending gap
Visit Reed's Website
Have you witnessed this scenario? A client has his or her house on the market with an offer on another home — a contingent sale. And the client needs the proceeds from current house to make a down payment on the new one.
Of course, this is a relatively common event, especially if someone finds a dream house that they feel they have to act on quickly.
What to do? An initial answer might be to get an equity loan on the current home and use the funds as a down payment for the new one, paying off the equity loan when the old home sells....
