[H456]Home Alone 1 Part 2

by Cd Mohatta, Cd

This is continued from part one of this article series. Please read that before you read this article. What can we do with the collection of things that we have saved over the years that have turned into clutter? Sometimes the stuff is new, even with tags still attached while other things are gently used and have been collected to give to charity. Every time you clean the house, you have to either clean around the stuff or move the stuff to clean under all of it. Many times you will have projects half finished and others that have not been started but the materials for those projects have been bought are waiting to be used.

We have gathered up all the scattered clutter so now it is time to do something with all of that stuff, the "extras". I need to decide what to do with all those "extras". Those collections of scattered clutter and are zapping my energy because I just don't know what to do with it all. Although I want to organize everything, I keep running out of time because there are always new projects and responsibilities that come up. So, it is now time, finally, to decide what I will do with all the scattered clutter that has been taking up space in my home.

The scattered items that have been collected includes everything that has caught my eye when I was in different stores, touched my sentimental journey of my family and children's past and been collected but is now mixed with all the stuff I have started at various times to organize. I bought 4 new photo albums, one for each child and 4 collectable boxes for the keepsake items for each kid, as well as scrapbooking supplies to finish the projects.

With Christmas around the corner, I am not going to be able to finish those projects but I will be adding more stuff as I get present and wrapping paper for Christmas. Once again, the stuff will be piled up with all the 'extras' and the problem will be compounded. I think it is time to hire a professional to come in and help me get this task under control. As most of my house is organized, I just can't seem to get the bedroom done because there is always something new happening.

It may be time to box up all the pictures and keepsakes and give them to each child to do for themselves. It certainly is time to take all the charity boxes and bags to a collection center. And any of the things left, discard. Then I will be able to really clean my bedroom, and the first thing to go is the collection table. Next, I am not going to buy anything new unless I get rid of something first. Finally, I will not start a project unless I am willing to finish it right then. It's either time to follow this plan or put out money for a professional. I think it would be wise to not get in knee deep with ideas and plans once I have everything, in every room, cleaned and organized. Pretty good plan, right?

In this buying a home article, you will learn:

* Completing the mortgage application

About the negotiation of buying a home:
The negotiation process is one which for the first time home buyer, is not one which you are likely to excel at. Negotiation is an art which some people have learned to master, while others who are new to negotiation do not always get the best deals.

The dynamics of the negation is this: the home owner has a property, and wants to get the most money he or she can. You are a potential buyer, and want to get the lowest price possible. The degree that you are a better negotiator will determine how lower you buy the property for, and the more skilled the existing home owner in the art of negotiation, will determine how much more he manages to get out of the deal.

The last paragraph may make you think whether you can really get the best prices for the property. However, there is a way to make life easier when negotiating, and that is with a bit of research.

To be able to get the best price a suggestion is to look at similar style properties in the area you are thinking to buy a home in and look at the prices. That way, you can make sure that you are getting the real estate at least at the market value or around there.

What does a solicitor do in the process of buying a home:
After you have found your new home to buy and started the negotiation process, you can now look to finding a solicitor. A solicitor will help you with all the paperwork necessary in the process of buying a home. Some people have mixed views at this point, some like to apply for the mortgage, while others like to appoint the solicitor first.

Appointing the solicitor in the beginning can save a lot of hassle later on in the process of buying your new home. Now you can apply for the mortgage.

Property valuation and surveying:
Even though properties in the area may have a similar price, there are some things we do not know about the property. Is there any structural damage? Are there any unseen expenses, which is why the seller is planning to sell?

The property valuation and surveying will bring out how much the property is worth. Before a mortgage lender will agree to give you a mortgage, they will need the valuation and surveying done on the property. The real estate professional fees for valuation and surveying vary, and again research can help you find the best prices.

Completing the mortgage application:
At this point most of the hard work in the process of buying a home has been accomplished. You now can speak to your mortgage lender and get confirmation that they are willing to give you a mortgage for the sum needed to buy the home.

The process of buying a home can be a hard one, for the first time. If you have aspirations to buy more than 1 property, then the first time experience will be beneficial to you, in the future. When the mortgage lender gives you written confirmation, and the property taken off the market, mortgage finalized, then you can look forward to moving in!
