Homebuyers: Are you utilizing social media? | HSH Financial News Blog

Homebuyers: Are you utilizing social media?

by Tim Manni

 

homebuyer-seller

The number of adult Americans using social media is staggering. The growing number of homebuyers utilizing social media to inform their homebuying decisions is equally impressive.

The National Association of Realtors reports that a real estate agent is still the number one source of information to homebuyers. That said, social media is a great tool to help you select an agent and find a community.

 

In her latest article, “Savvy ways social media can help you find a home,” HSH.com contributing writer Michele Lerner explains to readers how they can utilize social media not only to find and learn more about real estate agents, but how it can help them research the communities in which they are looking for homes.

Finding a Realtor

Social media provides a level of transparency to homebuyers. It allows them to get a sense of a Realtor’s personality and level of service to see if they’re a good fit.

“A big benefit of social media is transparency,” says James Nellis, a Realtor with The Nellis Group at Re/Max Allegiance in Alexandria, Va. “People know what they are getting into before they get there. We’ve become something of a voyeuristic society and social media helps us get to see someone’s personality before we meet. But I think it is just as important to find and read consumer reviews.”

Finding the right community

Once homebuyers feel comfortable with the Realtor they hire, the next big decision is where they are going to buy. Choosing the right community is equally as important as choosing the right home.

“Your experience in a community is the most important part of buying a home, even more important than the home itself,” says Susan Hilton, a Realtor and vice president of sales at the Century 21 office in College Station.

One of the best ways to learn about a community is to stop residents on the street and ask questions about what they like or dislike about the neighborhood, writes Lerner. But if you’re shy–or if you live miles away from a neighborhood you’re considering–social media gives you another way to find out the answers you’re looking for.

“You can get a fresh perspective on a neighborhood without physically talking to the residents by searching for Facebook groups associated with a particular community,” Nellis says.

To learn more about how social media can help you find the right home, be sure to read Savvy ways social media can help you find a home” in its entirety.

How to Choose a Home to Buy

Cartoon_house
If you’re ready to start looking for your dream home, and you’ve narrowed your search to a few select neighborhoods, take these following tips to heart:


1. Types of homes. Choose the type of home that is the most appealing yet practical for you. In addition to single family homes, there are multifamily homes, condominiums and co-ops. Multi-family homes are often good for first time home buying because they can have rental income to help with their mortgage.

2. Budget and investment considerations. Find a balance between your needs, wants and budget. Decide whether you should buy a newly  constructed home, a bit older home or a “fixer-upper”. If you may sell your home in the future, the following are best for re-sell value:

Budget-tightening-cartoon
Homes with 3 or more bedrooms; condos with 2 or more
Homes with “curb appeal” always sell best
Homes that are NOT unusual or unique and not the most expensive on the block

3. While house-hunting you will probably look at many homes for sale, so keep careful and complete notes and compare.

4. When you finally find your dream home, don’t hesitate! If you snooze, you may lose!

Utah Foreclosure Prevention Task force - Helping Utahans with questions

Media_httputahforeclo_bfefb

The Utah Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce has combined efforts with the Governor's Office to provide important and timely information about foreclosure to Utah Homeowners. Too many Utahns have found themselves facing foreclosure without knowing where to turn for help. While some homeowners fall prey to unscrupulous foreclosure rescue scammers, others are paying high fees for help that can be obtained FREE. This website is designed to provide resources and information to homeowners in distress.

Time is absolutely of the essence. By taking action now, you have a better chance of preventing foreclosure and keeping your home. All of the options to avoid foreclosure require work and time. It is critical that you do not wait and that you seek help now.

If you are having trouble working with your mortgage servicer, contact a HUD-approved housing counseling agency immediately and arrange an appointment to speak with a certified foreclosure intervention counselor. They will work with you to go over your documents, evaluate your situation, examine your budget, explore foreclosure alternatives, and contact your servicer to negotiate a work-out option.

Dial 2-1-1 to receive a free foreclosure workbook and list of nonprofit housing counselors, or browse this website for a free workbook download, list of counselors, and helpful tips for homeowners.

There is hope for homeowners in distress—it's just a phone call away.

This just cracks me up...would you call the cop or would you help a neighbor out?

SALT LAKE CITY — A 56-year-old woman is facing charges of theft and burglary for allegedly stealing from her neighbor's food storage.

According to charges filed in 3rd District Court, the woman's neighbor reported to police that he was returning to his home on Sept. 30 when he saw his neighbor exiting the home. The woman was carrying two trash bags full of groceries.

When the man went into the house, he discovered a number of items missing from his food storage, the charges state. It is estimated the value of the food that was stolen did not exceed $500.

The woman, who is from Herriman, was charged with burglary, a second-degree felony, and theft, a class B misdemeanor.

Driver dead in I-84 crash at Weber Canyon

Driver dead in I-84 crash at Weber Canyon

SOUTH WEBER -- A rollover accident this morning at the mouth of Weber Canyon left the driver of a propane truck dead, a Utah Highway Patrol spokesman said.

A tanker truck full of propane was heading west on Interstate 84 out of the canyon around 10:15 a.m. and appeared to be taking the interchange to get onto Highway 89. The truck somehow ended up facing eastbound.

The UHP spokesman did not identify the driver of the vehicle. More details will be posted on the Standard-Examiner website as they become available.

This is such a rough area for traffic...
