There are a lot of different things to consider when buying, selling, or owning a home. A lot of services are required to make it all happen. I have some people that I prefer to partner with, and I recommend them to you without any reservations.
Mortgages
The first step in looking for a new home is to secure your financing. I recommend you call Ben Bishop of Bank of America Mortgage. He can be reached at (704) 305-0181. Ben can finance homes, new construction and do refinances, too. Ben will help you find the best way to borrow for your new home, and is very good at helping people with credit issues get to a point where they can qualify for a mortgage.
Home Inspection
Whether you are buying a home or getting ready to sell, I recommend you call Terry Waggoner at Benchmark Home Inspections. I have been using Terry and his son, Darin for all my buyers’ inspections. They are very good, and very thorough. Pre-listing inspections are becoming more common, and are a great way to avoid issues after the contract is signed. You can reach Terry at 704-754-0968.
Financial Services
Jennifer Ziegler of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney is a Huntersville resident, and works hard at helping her clients manage their assets. Jennifer is an Accredited Asset Management Specialist with a degree in finance, and her approach is not like your average financial planner. Give her a call at 704-896-2283.
Insurance
Protecting your home and other assets is an important part of the real estate transaction. All lenders will require homeowners to carry insurance covering the property, and even if you own your home outright, you need to cover it against fire, storm damage, and liability issues. I recommend Karla Combs, an independent insurance agent with Aquesta Insurance Services. She can shop for the best insurance coverage and prices to meet your needs. She can be reached at 704-897-1977 or emailed at KCombs@AquestaInsurance.com .
