Just another reason why Keller Williams is the best place to buy or sell your home. 

The ZERO PLUS loan by Keller Williams is a unique loan with NO LENDER FEES! You might be asking, how is that possible? Well, it's simple. Keller Williams exists solely to give Keller Williams agents the ability to provide their clients a financial benefit by providing thousands in savings!

A Zero Plus Loan is ONLY available to those who are involved in a KW transaction! It's a win-win! You get thousands in savings, and you buy with us. It's that simple. 

So I keep saying thousands of savings...lets see the breakdown! Not only does the buyer get $1000 at closing. You save thousands on lenders fees. Typically lenders fees are about 2%. That could be up to $6000 on a $300,000 loan. That's a chunk of change! 

Not only is there huge upfront savings, interest rates are low, which will save you even more in the long run. 

So the question is, what are you waiting for? If you are looking to buy a home, chances are you will need a loan. Get Pre-Approved today right from our APP! Download Our App and Apply Now!

You’ve spent weeks getting your house in order. The kids are back into their school routine, and your home is a well oiled machine! Right?!...

If you are like me, this probably isn’t the case. Pretty soon you’ll have school papers stacked to the ceiling, fundraiser packets spilling onto the floor, and no time to organize any of it. It’s NOT too late to get things in order before the chaos starts. 

Here are just a few tips to get things in order before it’s too late! 

1. Make A Backpack Station

You’re one of two people. You’ve already done this and you’re thinking “duh, way ahead of you” or…you’re like me and sometimes you let events like the first day of school sneak up on you. If you’re the latter, you’re probably thinking “OK Susan, I’m trying to get organized here, not start construction on my house.” It’s ok. It can be as SIMPLE or elaborate as you want. The only necessity is a hook or a cubby to give the book bag a landing area when it comes through the door. Everything else is up to you. Make it your own!

2. Put The Papers Away

What do you want to keep, and what do you want to throw away? If it’s staying, give it a home! If you’re a pack rat like me and have a hard time throwing away school papers and projects, use file folders and label them by year. Use mail sorters or cute bins to sort things you're keeping or need on a daily basis.

This next one sounds simple, but you probably aren’t doing it and it could really save your life. Ok…not literally, but you get the point.

3. Write It Down

You probably have a million things happening all the time. You can’t keep it all in your head. Take notes! I’ve recently started a bullet journal to keep up with things, and it is amazing. I keep record of upcoming events for the kids, homework schedules, recipes, party plans, and much more. If you’re more of a techy person, use a notes app.  Again, make it your own. Make it as simple or extravagant as you like. 

Are you getting frustrated that your home hasn't already sold? Has it been sitting on the market with little to no showings, while houses nearby are going under contract almost immediately? We're here to tell you, the solution is simple: lower the price! I know, I know, you probably already heard this from your agent and thought that it was worth the price you wanted. But the truth of the matter is, the market is hot. It's at the hottest point it has been in a long time, and if your home isn't selling in today's market, and your agent is working their butt off to market it, then the price is too high.

Who doesn't want to sell what they own, and cherish, for the most they can get? And your agent wants to sell your home for top dollar as well! But if you still haven't received an offer in such a strong seller's market, it's time to sit down with your agent, reevaluate your motivation to sell, and talk about a new price. Do you have goals when it comes to moving? A new house, a new state? That's awesome! So if you want to move forward with your life, cut out the stress of slowing down your sale, and make the best decision to ensure your home can get under contract. And keep in mind, there is a highly likely chance, that by pricing lower than market value, you can anticipate a bidding frenzy that can get you even more than you anticipated. Supply and demand, it works wonders when you let your agent play the numbers to get buyers in a frenzy for your home. Drop it down to what your trusted agent recommends, and you'll be putting your best foot forward in your market.

Who’s Ready for the most wonderful time of the year?! Hey…We all love our kids, but mommy needs a break too. 

Our very own Jennifer Ramey lets us know how she’s feeling about the upcoming school year in these hilarious photos with her four kiddos.

And lets face it…they’re bored. We’ve heard it a thousand times. There’s only so much slime, fortnite, and youtube to get them through this rainy summer we’ve had here in the south. Now they’ll have something fun to do! It’s a win-win. Tell your little angels to enjoy these precious last moments of summer because the most wonderful day of the year is right around the corner!
 

When you sell your home, you want to make sure you’re getting the best price for your property. The best way to do that is to sell when demand is high and supply is low. And if you look at supply and demand, there’s never been a better time to sell your home.

According to the most recent Home Price Insights Report from CoreLogic, there are four times as many renters looking to purchase a home in the next twelve months than there are homeowners looking to sell. And as rents continue to rise around the country, the number of renters looking to transition to ownership will only increase. 

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, now is the time to make a move. With so many potential buyers flooding the market, demand has never been higher, and that demand will get you a much higher price for your property.

The stats don't lie! If you are ready to sell your home, let's get it listed! Call the Giant Group and we will take care of you! 706-831-2295

Tips for First-Time Buyers, Part One

So, you’re ready to buy your first home? Awesome! But where do you start? The home buying process can be overwhelming for anyone, especially first-time buyers if you do not know what to expect. Working with a licensed Real Estate agent can be very beneficial. But you must do your homework too! Do your research and educate yourself on what areas of town you are looking to buy in. Is the school system important to you? Close to work? Convenient to shopping and recreation? These are good factors to consider! Another important factor is your budget. Know. Your. Budget. And stick to it!!

Also, keep in mind additional costs that may arise such as earnest money, appraisal fee ( collected from the Lender and is based on square foot of the home) and Termite Inspection fee.  It is recommended to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan before really starting the house hunting process. There is nothing worse than falling in love with a house and then finding out its completely out of your price range.  We, at The Giant Group, have mortgage professionals ready to help you with that.  All you need to do is provide all of the information to the lender when requested.  Expect delays in processing your loan if you cannot locate the information requested in a reasonable timeframe.   Keep in mind, in a hot market, time is of the essence! 

Now, comes a very important step in the process, meeting your realtor at the office!  Having this meeting sets expectations with your realtor as far as what you are looking for, where you want to live, and how much you feel comfortable spending.  Come prepared with an idea of your top 3 must haves in your future home. 

Next, your Realtor will pull information and do comparisons of property that meet your guidelines.  Keep in mind it isn’t an exact science as there are many variables.  While you might get lucky and fall in love with the first house you see, reality is you’ll probably have to look at several before you find the one! (You know, kinda like dating ha!)  But, do not be discouraged, just keep the end goal in mind!
