Why Real Life Isn't Like HGTV
Shows about home buying and renovation projects can be fun to watch, but
they often don't depict the realities of buying, selling, fixing up,
and/or owning a home.
Here are three common myths popularized by today's TV lineup.
**We Only Need to See Three Homes**
On TV, a couple looks at three homes and is able to find the property of
their dreams. This isn't how things work in the real world.
The number of homes buyers must look at before finding the right one for
them differs in each situation. It's not uncommon (although it may be
exhausting) to look at 20 homes. It might work out that the first one
you see is the one--but it's not likely.
**There Will Definitely be One we can Afford**
Shows that depict real estate purchases and renovations rarely reflect
prices that are realistic for viewers. You may witness a bargain deal on
TV and assume you could get something similar.
The fact is, markets vary greatly. The price of a home or a remodel in
the area where the show is filmed may be completely different from what
you can expect in your home town--either much higher or much lower.
**This Project is a Cinch**
While some DIY projects can be completed quickly, the amount of time
most renovations take is longer than TV would have you believe.
Homeowners shouldn't expect to dive into a basement remodel on Friday
and wake up Monday morning with the project behind them. Even if you
hire professionals, they may encounter unexpected delays or simply need
more time to do the renovation correctly and to code.

5 Things You Need to Know about Your Future Neighborhood
Are you currently on the home hunt? You probably have a list of needs
and wants about the house. But have you also considered the advantages
and disadvantages of particular neighborhoods?
In addition to bedrooms, baths, and interior upgrades, it's a good idea
to ask a few questions about the neighborhood you may want to call
home. Below are some questions to help determine if the neighborhood
will be a good fit for you.
**1. Is the area well-maintained?** Take a walk around the block. Drive
through the neighborhood. Are properties well-maintained? Are roads in
good condition? The appearance of the lawns, homes, and public spaces
can reveal a lot about the area.
**2. Are there any rules and regulations you need to be aware of before
you commit?** Do you mind if your renovations and landscaping are
restricted by homeowner association bylaws? Find out if the neighborhood
has any rules and regulations, and what they are.
**3. What is the reputation of the school district?** Even if you don't
have children, the school district's status can affect property values.
Get the scoop on the district's rankings in academics and financial
stability.
**4. What's the crime rate?** You can often find maps provided by the
city that show what crimes occur in the area and how often. The FBI may
also have reports available for the area. Do a little research to make
sure you'll feel safe in your new home.
**5. What amenities are nearby?** For some homebuyers, access to public
transportation is important. Others want to live near parks, shops, or
restaurants. Find out what amenities the area offers to ensure that you
choose a neighborhood that suits your lifestyle.

Ask Kelli:
**What can I do to submit a successful offer?**
Before you make an offer on a home (and before you even begin to look at
homes), you should meet with a lender and get pre-approved for a loan.
Having this pre-approval in hand to submit with an offer lets the
sellers know you are a serious buyer who can afford their home. I can
refer you to a lender who specializes in Summit County real estate.
In a hot market, you may be competing with multiple offers and need to
come in at full price. In other situations, you may have more
negotiating power. I can help you determine an offer that has the best
chance of being accepted.
Flexibility and a willingness to close at a time that is convenient for
the seller can also help your offer stand out from the crowd.
