Don't Speak Too Soon...

Don’t Speak Too Soon…




If you get an offer on your property that you consider too low, resist the urge to react in a negative way. It is normal to feel disappointed or even insulted, just try not to show it!

Why? Because even a low offer means, INTEREST! That means the other party might still consider a higher counter offer. And, they will be much more receptive to your counter offer if the atmosphere remains positive.

As always, I ‘m here to help you buy or sell a home when you are ready!

People Are Talking!

I thought you might like to know what folks are saying about the level of service I provide.


"Eunice did a thouroughly oustanding job in all aspects of our search for the perfect home. She briefed us very well on the geography of the region, where to focus our attention and how to get the best value for our dollar. She was always there when we needed her and always available to answer our myriad questions. She understood the urgency of our situation to find the ideal home in minimum time and did a throughly flawless job. She directed us to shopping areas, banks and places of interest which information we have found indispensable. We recommend her highly and without reservation. Our experience with her has been outstanding in all respects."

"We've moved every 2-3 years, so have a lot of experience with realtors. Eunice was the best of all of them. Her most important trait was listening to our needs and only showing us properties that were a good fit. Our needs changed during the process, to which she adapted quite quickly. I would definitely recommend her. "

"She was amazing, we as First time home buyers need a lot of help. We also were not from this area she helped us learn about the area. We were pregnant when searching for a home so she helped us look for good school districts as well as helping us find a doctor after we moved here. We still are friends and talk frequently. She was not just our Realtor but our first friend in a new city. "

Just Say NO to RADON!

Just Say NO to RADON!



Radon is a naturally occurring, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas that is dispersed in outdoor air, but which can reach harmful levels when trapped in buildings. Scientists have long been concerned about the health risk of radon, but there has been overwhelming proof that exposure to elevated levels of radon causes lung cancer in humans.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General's Office estimates that radon is responsible for more than 20,000 lung cancer deaths per year. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Breathing it over prolonged periods can present a significant health risk to families. However you can’t see or smell radon, people tend to downplay the health effects and ignore the possibility that there might be a silent killer in their homes.

A family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/l is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site.

Testing homes for elevated levels of radon is simple and inexpensive. Radon test kits can be purchased at your local hardware and home improvement stores or directly from radon testing companies. They are reasonably priced. Radon problems can be fixed by qualified contractors for a cost similar to that of many common home repairs such as painting or having a new water heater installed.

If you or someone you know is purchasing a home you may want to consider having the home tested by a qualified contractor when you do your inspections.

My Simple Treasures!

My Simple Treasures


As the New Year unfolds, I am going to try to make a conscious effort to appreciate and savor the simple treasures of my everyday life and to live in the moment.

Here are a few of mine:

A quiet house in the morning

A hot & steamy mug of coffee

The warmth of my home

A beautiful sunrise

A clean kitchen

Chatting with a friend on the phone

My husband’s kiss

A hug from my kids and grandchildren

Good food to eat

A nice warm shower

An evening swing on the porch

Good clients to work with

And a few moments to say a prayer at night

I know it’s nothing super exciting

But these precious moments bring me much joy.

I take pleasure in each day that God blesses me with. I love all things home and family

And I hope you will take the time to recognize a few of the simple treasures in your life!

What is a FHA 203 (K) Loan?

WHAT IS A FHA 203(K) LOAN?




Are you looking at or have you found a home that is a “fixer upper”… you know a home that you really like but it needs work?  But now you are thinking you just don't have the money for the down payment and the money to make the repairs? Well, the FHA 203(k) loan might just be the right loan for you. This program will allow you, the borrower to include the repair and improvement costs into the loan amount on either a purchase or refinance with a one time closing. The funds for the repairs and improvements are held in an escrow account, and are released when the work is completed. The mortgage amount is based on the projected value of the completed project. FHA has made this loan easier and faster to close than ever before.

Now you know that you have options when you find the perfect home that needs repair.

And as always, if you or someone you know is considering a move, I can help you find the home you are looking for…it’s what I do!

Here are The Advantages of a FHA 203(k) Loan …

It can be for Purchase or Refinance

Standard FHA Down payment

Finance up to 6 months mortgage payments

Special HUD down payment programs

An FHA assumable mortgage

One-to-Four Family Dwellings

Repair and improvement work is completed after your loan closes

USDA FUNDS

USDA Funds



With the re-funding of the USDA’s lending program, housing sales in rural and suburban markets should see some revitalization. This is good news for both buyers and sellers!


Benefits of the program include:

*No-money-down financing
* No mortgage insurance (a onetime funding fee is financed into the loan at closing)
* Expanded underwriting guidelines
*Interest rates comparable to standard FHA and Conventional financing

This is good news for buyers and sellers in rural and some suburban markets that qualify for USDA funding!

There are limits on both buyers’ income and loan amounts:

Income limits are set by the property location and will vary from county to county.

If you are interested in learning more about USDA funding and whether you and the property you are interested in qualify, please let me know. I can put you in touch with a trusted mortgage loan officer who can help answer your questions.

Real Estate Assesments

Real Estate Assessments


As I have been going about my travels in Locust Grove Va for the past few days I have noticed the county assessment car so I thought I would give you a more indepth explaination about real estate assessment.

A real estate assessment is conducted periodically by your local government to assign a value to your home for taxation purposes. An assessment isn’t the same as a private appraisal, and the assessed value of your home isn’t necessarily how much you could sell it for today. Real estate assessment notices are mailed to homeowners every two to three years, depending on where you live.

Your notice will include some information about your property, such as lot size or a legal description as well as the assessed value of your house and land. Some additional details like the number of bedrooms or date of construction can often be found in the property listing on your local government’s website. Your property tax bill will usually be calculated by multiplying your home’s assessed value by the local tax rate, which will vary from town to town or county to county.

If you think your home’s assessment is higher than it should be, challenge it immediately. The clock starts ticking as soon as the notice goes out. You generally have less than 30 days to respond but the procedure is usually outlined on the back of the notice.

If you want to know your homes current market value I would be happy to provide you with a Market Analysis.
