The Phoenix Real Estate Advisor

In this episode of the Phoenix Real Estate Advisor I interview Ron Coats from Olympic Mortage. Ron discusses how first time buyers can ensure they are making the correct decisions about a mortgage.

He talks about the “most important things a first time buyer should know”, the “biggest mistake frist time buyers make”, how to “avoid making these mistakes” and more.

Buying a home, whether you’re a first time buyer or not can be tricky in this new economic time. What type of loan should you take? Who should you go with? What is the best loan program for you? These are all very important questions that I can help you answer. That’s one of the reasons I bring professionals blog posts and audio podcast interviews.

If after listening to this podcast you still have questions please do not hesitate to call or email me, I would be happy to help. As always I look forward to your comments on this podcast either directly to me or posted on the site. Click any of the links above or simply click the “podcast” link at the top of the page.

Over the last few years the concept of “Staging a Home” has become very popular. Years ago we just called it getting a home ready to sell but nowadays this concept has been taken to new levels.

Ever wonder if staging a home helps you get more money for your help? How about the cost, does it pay for it’s self? Do professional stagers receive formal training?

Listen to The Phoenix Real Estate Audio podcast with Renee from Staged by Renee and you’ll learn about how staging can help generate more offers at a higher price. It’s easy to listen in, just click the “podcast” link at the top of this page and look for the Staging episode.

While you’re there look around, you’ll find other podcasts from people connected to the real estate industry like mortgage lenders, home inspectors, etc.

Ever had questions about home inspections but didn’t know who to ask? In this episode we talk to a home inspector from Pillar to Post here in the Phoenix, Arizona area. We cover the basics of home inspections, what do they inspect and why having a home inspection is so important.

After listening if you have any questions please contact me and I’d be happy to answer them. Also if there’s enough interest I can always have them back to cover things we may have missed.

Yes, I know many of you already know about the podcast on Home Warranties that was released yesterday on this blog site but I thought I should remind those of you that have not found the podcast link (see the navigation above) that we posted a new podcast.

This podcast is an interview I conducted with Bettie Covington from Fidelity National Home Warranty. In this interview she explains the ins and outs of home warranties. You’ll learn what is covered, what is not covered and why it’s so important to have a home warranty for the home you buy.

Please check out the podcast and I welcome your comments. If you have any ideas for future podcast interviews please forward them to me at Jay@valleyREadvisor.com.
