Today, we want to share a video from HGTV to discuss how you can plan ahead when it comes to home renovations. Renovating your home can be an exciting process, but it's important that you don't get ahead of yourself. You can't just go willy-nilly into a major project and expect it to go perfectly. Planning properly for these types of projects can assure a smooth project, and one that may even cost less!

HGTV’s Amy Matthews recommends making a very detailed timeline of your project, including potential things that could go awry and making backup plans in order to prevent these things from happening. Putting your plan onto paper is a good way to start this process.

Another major step is choosing a good team of contractors that you can communicate with. If they don't know what you want done, they can't do it. 

Just remember, there is no such thing as too much planning! If you plan on renovating your Greensboro home, please contact us. We know great contractors and could also give you advice on what projects will bring you the highest return on your investment. 

We look forward to hearing from you!

How Home Warranties Help Greensboro Buyers

In today's video, we sat down with Robbie Rivardo from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to discuss why a buyer should consider getting a home warranty.

For instance, let's say you have a home warranty with Robbie's company. If there's a failure in the home, you simply call the number, they send someone out, and if it's eligible for repair, they make the repair or the replacement. There's no negotiating; they simply take care of it. It's that easy.

Typically when you buy a home, the seller will offer a home warranty. If the seller does not, then there is still an option to get a home warranty in the offer to purchase. Home warranties provide peace of mind and reduce the risks for everyone involved.

When buying a home, it's not so much a question of whether something will break; the real question is when will something break. With this protection, you the buyer will save money on future repairs.

Hey everyone, today we are excited to discuss the current market conditions here in Greensboro. At the end of April, we sat down and took a look at the numbers, and compared them to the figures we saw at the end of April in 2014. Here is what we saw:

• There are about 1,800 homes currently on the market for sale, which is significantly down from last year.
• There were more closings than a year ago, with 216.
• Inventory is down to 5.3 months, and dropping.
• Interest rates are still near all-time lows below 4%.

Overall, we are seeing a great seller's market here in Greensboro. This means homes will be harder to find for buyers. However, those low interest rates will make any home you purchase more affordable in the long run.

If you are thinking of buying or selling a home in Greensboro, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to speaking with you!
