About Me
“We wanted to take a moment to say that we were very happy to have Tamara Inzunza work with us to sell our home. Tamara scheduled all meetings and interactions at our convenience after work, and on weekends. She provided us with outstanding advice about how to prepare our home for sale. She provided a profile on the house for people touring and had advertising in place as soon as possible. She worked hard, illustrated a great understanding of contract details, negotiation etiquette, and documentation.
Our home was under contract in 30 days after listing. We really appreciated Tamara’s calm reassurance and expert advice throughout the entire process. Tamara was the outstanding professional we were looking for and having her work with us made a stressful time a wonderful success!
As a person, Tamara was a pleasure to work with! Easy to talk to, a good listener, easy to contact, and always prompt at returning our calls or answering our questions. Best of all, Tamara is a Realtor who makes ither job to help you meet your goals rather than her own.
Our congratulations to your company for having agents like Tamara and the aura of personal customer service she brings to your profession. In a world becoming increasingly self-centered, it’s a bright spot to find someone like Tamara who takes so much pride in her work and manifests that pride in commitment and dedication to her clients’ needs. We have benefited greatly from the efforts of a true professional like Tamara Inzunza.
We are sure we will buy or sell a house again some day, and when do, Tamara will be the one we call.”
Sincerely,
D. and E. Tucker

M,
WIth the current market, I've been saying, "Buy the cheapest house in the best neighborhood". If you're already looking at houses, start out with the REO or bank owned homes, and homes that have already been vacant for 60 or more days. These properties will likely give you a little more room to negotiate on price. I'm so happy to see a buyer who is paying attention to monthly finances and trying to stay within a pre-determined comfort zone. Also, you say that you 'can handle' the closing costs, but see if the seller will pay them when you're negotiating your contract. Closing costs paid by the seller mean less money out of pocket for you. You also say that your budget is 'before anything bad happens'. This could be an indicator that you should hold off just a bit and continue to build your monthly reserves. It's always a good idea to have 3-6 months of your total household expenses saved up and tucked away in a separate account so you're not tempted to dip in. This is not the market to stretch yourself financially. We'd hate to see you posting a year from now asking for help on a short sale!!!

Hi Heather,
What better way to get opinions than to start by Googling those specific communities. You may find specific neighborhood sites, photos, tour information , schools, attractions, in addition to real estate sales information. Also try going to Localism.com and searching those communities. Good luck with your move!

Chris, every real estate agent in town wishes they could clone you! You'd like to get pre-approved [before] looking at houses so that you know how much you can spend, are aware of your financing options, and can get an idea of what your monthly payment and estimated closing costs will be.
I would highly recommend starting with a local, reputable lender. You can use your current banking institution or credit union, or ask friends and family members to give you a referral. Most real estate agents have good lenders that they use. You're not obligated to use any one lender and your pre-approval is usually free.
You can expect a mortgage professional to ask you to provide your social security number, your yearly income, how long you've been at your current job, and how much money you have in savings/checking/other accounts.
Be up front with your mortgage professional (and your agent) about your long term goals. How long do you expect to own the property? There are different loans that will be offered and it's important that you are able to evaluate your options.
You're defnitely on the right path to home ownership.

M,
Are you looking to stay in Alexandria? Also, what price range are you looking in? When you're doing your online search, look for 3 full baths. You can probably find the layout you're looking for in non-garage townhomes, those will give you more finished living space.

Once the status changes in the MRIS to 'under contract' then the property will be removed from most other real estate websites. If you are using a buyer's agent, have your agent email you the listing through MRIS, then you should be able to view the photos. Congrats on your new home purchase.
