Home Buyer Tips from The Puffer Team


Did you know that for most people, moving ranks near the top of the list of stressful events? Here are some things you can do to minimize stress when you are ready to make a move:
.
• Choose a real estate agent who communicates clearly and frequently, keeping you up to speed on every
step of the process.
.
• Consider how long it will take from the time you make an offer on a property until the transaction closes. Once an offer is received and accepted, it may take from 30 to 45 days to obtain financing. Being preapproved for a loan can shorten that time frame considerably.

• Decide whether you want to move yourself or have professional movers handle the job. If you hire a moving company, be sure to book well in advance.
.
• Think about cleaning services. After everything is packed and moved is a great time to have someone come in and clean.
.
• Arrange at least two weeks in advance to have utilities and phone service disconnected at your old house and reconnected in your new home on move-in day.

Never Ever Give Up, Great Message via Diana Nyad

It's another new year and if you're like most everyone else you have a set of new goals to reach.  Here at The Puffer Team we make goal setting a part of not only our business, but our personal, physical, spiritual and financial life as well.  As a team we track our progress and we motivate each other to reach our potential.  It's always interesting to look back over the last year and see where we ended up, did you finish 2013 the way you planned?

In a recent team meeting we watched a TED Talk by Diana Nyad, it really put everything in perspective and we thought it was worth sharing.


"When you achieve your dreams it's not about what you get but who you have become in achieving them."

Follow your dreams, be bold.
