'Smart-Sizing'

The new movement for older home buyers.

Robin and Stefanie Wohnsigl, a couple who recently moved to the Four Seasons at Kent Island active-adult community in Chester, Md., have been on a four-year journey to find the right place for their retirement.

“We sold our big house in Great Falls four years ago and downsized to n apartment in Reston,” says Robin Wohnsigl, a retired Air Force colonel and airline industry executive. “The apartment was great, it had indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and we loved Reston, but we had downsized too much plus we wanted a backyard for our dog.”

The Wohnsigls moved from an 8,000-square-foot house to a 1,500-square-foot apartment before their recent transition to a 3,700-square-foot single-family…

Mortgage Broker vs. Bank: Which Is Better for Buying a Home?

When you’re looking for a mortgage, to either buy a home or refinance one, you can use a mortgage broker or deal directly with the bank.

Using a broker to get a home loan instead of going directly through a bank loan officer or other mortgage lender has its pros and cons. Depending on your needs and situation, you'll have to decide which is right for you.

Going it alone

If you go it alone, you deal with the bank directly. If you're a regular customer and have a great relationship with your local bank or community bank, for example, you might receive better terms and interest rates. A local mortgage lender may work with you, especially if you already have accounts with the financial institution.

If you don't have a good working…

Negotiation: There’s More to it Than You Think!

When you think of real estate negotiations, what comes to mind? For most buyers and sellers, price tops the list. While this is certainly an important part of any real estate deal, did you know there are at least six others areas of potential negotiation?

Closing costs: In addition to the price of the home, buyers must pay closing costs that cover lender fees and other charges. Buyers may ask sellers to help pay for these costs with a flat dollar amount or a percentage of the fees.

Closing date: Do you need to close on a home quickly? Perhaps you need a little more time to search for your next home. There are also different advantages to closing at the beginning and end of the month.

Personal property: What will be included with the four…

❤️ Real Estate Crush of the Week: 203 Caldwell Circle

I picked this Crescent neighborhood beauty because she and I go way back! This is my first house when I moved to the Lowcountry. I know all her nooks and crannies. I know that you will absolutely love the big windows that lets all the light in every morning, and I know you will love the wooded area in the backyard where all the birds hang out and play.

Quite frankly, this is an oldie but a goodie!
