Home ownership.  You’ve decided it’s time.  All the details are in order.  Now, it’s time for the house hunt to begin.  Which leads you to even more questions…

Should you work with a real estate agent?  How should you pick one?

You’ve made an important decision – it’s time to buy your first home! So, how are you feeling? A little excited, a little nervous?

So you’re ready to make the leap into home ownership...  Wow!  Congratulations!  This is a huge step in your life, and it’s one that deserves to be celebrated.

Life rarely turns out the way we plan, and when a surprise comes along, it’s usually not an opportunity to simplify our lives.  If you’re one of the many parents blessed with one more angel than you had planned for, you understand just how such surprises can make the simplest things much more complicated.  Or maybe, the innocent angel you’ve been raising has entered adolescence and wants some space alone.  Or maybe, it’s gone the other way for you:  You bought a house when prices were low, and wages were tight - and now that you have some equity and a higher income, you’d like to bump up your standard of living.
