The Most Awesome Thing Happened At My Real Estate Closing This Morning! We sold a home in the Springfield Missouri area that closed this morning. Normally closings are just a bunch of signatures and more signatures and a polite hello between buyer and seller. This time was different. The seller had previously met the buyer and her small boys and showed them around the property. They hit it off and she took the boys down on the property and when they came back theirs arms were full of really neat rocks and she told them about the creek at the back of the property. At closing, the seller presented the boys with a surprise. She gave them a scavenger hunt list of items for them to find when they get to their new home.  The mom thought is was the nicest thing to do for her family! What a gre...

  Looking For A Springfield MO Foreclosure Property? Avoid These Common Mistakes. There are a lot of bargains on foreclosure properties in the Ozarks, but there are also some not so good deals too. We've seen the full range of properties from like new condition to absolutely trashed.  Learning some of the risks of buying a foreclosure will keep you out of trouble and prevent you from making a purchase you may regret later. Many people have the misconception that all foreclosed homes are bargains. While many are, many are not.  Banks don't want these homes on their books. They don't care about the home's condition; they just want to sell it. Make sure to do your due diligence before buying. To avoid paying too much, foreclosed-home buyers need to know area home values, condition of near...

 What's The Best Asking Price For Your Home in Springfield MO?  One of the most significant factors in selling your home in Springfield is making a decision for the right asking price. Price is usually the first thing a potential buyer looks at when searching for homes, and if they think the price is wrong, they will reject it and move on. If you price your home too high, it probably won't be shown and it will sit market for a long period of time, which can cost you thousands of dollars. If you price your home too low people may wonder what's wrong with it. The number one factor to consider when pricing your home is what other similar homes are selling for. Regrettably you must include foreclosure properties and short sales because you are competing directly against them. The good news...
