Why Do I Need a Title Policy???


Real Estate Matters with Tim Bro

Why Do I Need a Title Policy???

Title issues occur with surprising frequency. It is estimated one of every four residential real estate transactions has title issues.

Based on thorough examination of records, potential title problems usually can be found and cleared prior to the purchase of the property.

Once a title policy is issued, if a valid claim arises, it will be covered under the title insurance policy. The title insurer will pay the legal fees involved in defense of the insured’s rights. That protection is in effect as long as the insured owns the property.

If you have questions regarding title policies, call Tim and he will put you in touch with one of his experienced title reps. Buying a home is a major undertaking, make sure to get Tim involved early in your home buying process and call Tim @ 858-354-2354, “The Right Choice in Real Estate”.

Find a House That Meets Your Budget


Real Estate Matters with Tim Bro

Find a House that Meets Your Budget


Finding your dream home can be difficult for many reasons, one of which is that your budget often restricts your choices. Keeping a healthy budget coupled with strategic house-hunting practices can yield the best possible property that not only fits your personal budget, but also meets your lifestyle needs.

You can’t make a budget if you don’t know how much you make and spend every month. Sit down and write the hard numbers. Are you mortgaging a house as a single buyer or as a couple? The implications of each option are noteworthy and can greatly impact your finances in the long run. You’ll want to have a wide positive margin between your income and expenses if you are to pay off your monthly mortgage premiums successfully.

To get started with your next home purchase, call Tim @ 858-354-2354, “The Right Choice in Real Estate”.

Tips for Finding Your New Home


Real Estate Matters with Tim Bro

Tips for Finding Your New Home


Understand Your Personality and Desires
Your personal characteristics, for the most part, remain the same regardless of where you reside. It is important that you have an honest conversation with yourself before contacting Tim, your real estate professional. He can assist in your home search better after first having a scope of your wants and needs.

Research before Looking
Do a search of areas and identify three to five neighborhoods that intrigue you most. Take into account nearby schools, recreational facilities, commute times, and cost of living in your communities of choice. Keep in mind your price range and start searching for properties that fall within those bounds. There is no need to set your sights on the house on the hill if you cannot afford that.

Think Long-Term
Yes, it is true that you need shelter now, but you want to consider more than your present needs. You may want to look to your future wants, needs and goals. Consider where you may find yourself in the next 10 years career-wise and family-wise, and plan accordingly.

Hire a Knowledgeable, Experienced Realtor
Even the most detail-oriented books about real estate cannot provide the knowledge that you need to navigate the ever-changing world of homeownership. You need a real estate professional who knows the complex parts of the industry to help you find the ideal home at a reasonable price.

To get started with your next home purchase, call Tim @ 858-354-2354, “The Right Choice in Real Estate”. The first action item will be to meet and discuss what’s important to your budget, your timing.
