Owning your own home can be very rewarding, but it does take some preparation! If you resolved that 2012 is going to be the year that you buy a home, here are five easy steps to help prepare you financially:
1. Review Your Credit Report to make sure that there are no errors.
2. Check Your Credit Score because it will affect the rates and terms of your loan
3. Reduce Debt so that your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio isn't too high.
4. Save! so that you have money for purchase related expenses.
5. Switch to Auto Bill Pay so that late payments don't negatively affect your credit score.
For more information on these five steps, read the full artice on REALTOR.com. I will also be doing a mini-series blog going into more detail on each of these items in the coming weeks. Thanks for reading!

The Local Housing Market
The Jacksonville NC real estate market owes most of its vitality to the service members who buy, sell, and rent homes in the area. In recent years, home sales have gotten more competitive, so prices are very reasonable, particularly for first-time home buyers. New Construction is a big seller is this area as well, with many builders offering incentives to the buyers of their homes... anything from upgraded floors, to privacy fences, to iPad2s!

We used Alexis as our realtor when we bought our house, and had such a great experience that we she also sold our house when we moved. We could not have found a more knowledgable, determined, compassionate and flexible/available agent. Our house was under contract one week from when it was listed because of her hard work. I would highly recommend Alexis to anyone, whether buying or selling. I just wish we could have taken her with us when we moved for next time!Kate & Patrick Mabie
Alexis began helping us with buying our first home while we were still stationed in Okinawa. We were nervous about buying and unsure of the process. Alexis worked with us for months before we moved back and told us she would find us a house we loved. Not only did she find us a house to make our home, she was there for us every single step of the way. She is confident, caring, and puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She knows her job well and cares deeply for her clients. My calls were answered every time I called her, even when she was on vacation! Nothing I could write could ever fully express the appreciation, gratitude, or respect I have for Ms. Pierson. If you're looking for the best realtor in town, you've found her.Andrew & Renee Daigle
