Re: I AM THRILLED MOM Hey Mom, Have you checked out the custom search on realtor.com ? it's really good...you can put in lots of stuff....it's been great for me, would be perfect if I had financing! lol...hey, I have a question: Since you have pre approval, can you buy your house anywhere you want to????? Hmmm...... AnnMarie *who is very tempted to go house hunting for Momof3!
Re: I AM THRILLED MOM Yes AM I check realtor.com all the time, trouble I have came across is most listing are rather old, most I have liked were sold already. I don't think that's the first place they advertise?? Not sure about the other question though. Mom
Re: I AM THRILLED MOM In the area I look in, you can choose newer houses.....and newer listings to be emailed to you when you like--I get a daily when there's new ones listed. Oooohhhhh...I am SO excited for you! Do you already know your rate?
Re: I AM THRILLED MOM hey annmarie, my rate will be 6.75 for now, depending how long it takes to find a house, it may go up or down I didn't lock the rate. Mom
Re: I AM THRILLED MOM Congrats Mom. All that hard work and fighting with the cra's finally paid off! Show you what can be accomplished when you put your mind to it. Happy hunting.
