I am relocating from San Antonio to Austin. I am limited to $150K for a home purchase.We wanted to live in

JMangan answered:

Patrick - another way to approach this is to use your pre-approval/comfort zone home price as a guide. I like to show buyers many options (including new homes) and take time to get familiar with different areas of town in which they can buy. One or two areas usually stand out as feeling more like "home" than others and this determination is unique to each buyer-there is no zip code or area that is best for everyone. Don't fret, you will have choices and one may stand out as just the right home for you. Austin's a great place to live, give it time and you'll feel right at home, too. - Thu Jul 24 2008, 11:07

What's the outlook for mortgage rates in Austin over the next couple of wees (starting 17 June 2008)?

JMangan answered:

You may considering locking the rate with a one-time reduction available (if needed) before closing. The money you pay for a lock can be refunded to you at closing - ask your lender. - Mon Jul 21 2008, 12:44

How do you choose your Realtor?

Asked Mon Jun 25 2007, 12:09 by Leonie Withe… - All locations - Home Buying - 2 answers

JMangan answered:

Your realtor should be someone in whom you have confidence and trust. They should possess in-depth knowledge of the real estate market in your area. Interview at least two experienced agents. Be careful-the newer agent may not have the expertise needed to represent your best interests. However, a too-busy agent may pass you off to assistants after you sign the paperwork. Something in between these two extremes may be best. Experienced but not too busy to provide personalized service. The realtor recommended by a friend or family member is a good place to start! Good luck. - Mon Jun 25 2007, 15:12
