Must-Fix Items that Hurt Property Values - Your property's value can be affected by different things, some you can control and others you can't. As a homeowner, it's important to pay attention to things that might lower your home's value. Whether it's doing home projects yourself that don't turn out well or forgetting to take care of basic maintenance, it is important to fix these problems quickly to help maintain your property valuable and get the most money when you sell it.

Home Resolutions for 2024 - With the beginning of the new year, many people make fresh resolutions – from improving their diet to being more present. If you're considering buying a home, here are the top five resolutions that can help you get ready for the market.

Will 2024 be the year to Refinance? - Following the extraordinary events of 2020, interest rates dropped significantly, providing a great chance for homeowners to secure 30-year fixed-rate mortgages at remarkably low rates. If you are already locked in at those historic lows, refinancing might not be the most sensible option. However, for recent homebuyers, especially with experts predicting a potential decrease in rates, 2024 might be a good time to consider the advantages of a rate and term refinance.
