1. When purchasing a home, get pre approved first so you know your buying power. (When applying you may realize you have more buying power than you thought, or you may realize more work needs to be done to make you a stronger buyer). 

 

2. When selling a home improve areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and flooring. (Watch your overimprovement as you may not retain the full value of your financial investment).

 

3. When looking for neighborhoods to live in, dont just consider the home, also consider the surrounding influences, because they do have an affect on value.
