House vs. Home
Thu, Mar 10th 2011 12:34 pm by Kim PeasleyParker Seller InformationMany sellers struggle with putting their homes on the market. Homes are a personal thing. Homes are where we live. Where we retreat to after a long hard day. Where our families met up each day to discuss their days and activities. …....SCREECH! Stop those thoughts!
As a seller of a home in Sumter, you need to think of this property as a HOUSE. It is bricks, vinyl, mortar, sheet rock and flooring. A HOUSE has less emotional attachment than a home. As a Realtor, one of the first things I learned was a property is a HOUSE to the Seller and a HOME to the Buyer. It is the emotional attachment that is the only difference.
So as a seller, you are now living a in HOUS...

Sumter Real Estate: VA Funding Fees
Tue, Mar 8th 2011 4:02 pm by Kim PeasleyParker Buyer InformationVA Funding Fees
VA Funding Fees
VA Funding Fees are the money’s a borrower pays to use their VA benefits when purchasing a home. The Funding Fees are normally added to the total principal of the loan. When the borrower is putting no money down, the result of adding the Funding Fees is the mortgage is higher than the sale price of the home. Though the funding fee may not seem like a lot at the time of purchase in the recent market of low appreciation if any, this increase to the mortgage can cost borrowers when they try to sell.
The VA Funding Fee is different depending on if the veteran is using the benefit for the first time or for subsequent purchases. The Funding Fe...

Venting A Range Hood in Your Sumter Home
Tue, Feb 1st 2011 10:09 am by Kim PeasleyParker Home Projects and Gardening

Ard’s is a local Sumter business who offers great service from the knowledgable owners and son, free delivery, and a wide variety of brands. We had the microwave in a matter of minutes loaded into the back of the vehicle and were headed home.
Sunday afternoon was the install day. I was the helper for the day and was pleased with how easy my husband seemed to make it! We did the prep work while our daughter napped and then...

House Hunting Priorities
Fri, Jan 21st 2011 10:30 am by Kim PeasleyParker Buyer InformationSince I was thinking about real estate, I thought if we stripped away all our adult thoughts and notions what would we really want in a home? I know for my daughter it would be windows that let the morning sun shine in with some moderation. After all if the room is filled with too much sunlight, how can one make shadows?
For Maddie, this would mean exactly the house we have. With sid...
