Thanks a lot! When I’m ready, you’ll be my agent because I tryst your competence and confidence. I’m binge-watching all your videos and learning a ton!
I think you're wrong number 4 they have something called Home Warranty which is about 30 to $50 a month and it cover all major repair it's called Old Republic Home Warranty or Home Shield don't scare people lol
@james sisoutham home warranties have their limitations for major repairs, there are generally repair caps and exclusions. I do recommend first time buyers have one. However, there is typcially a false sense of security if all you have is a home warranty and no savings for repairs.
@@ShaheedahHill I have the good one that cover all and used it a few time only paid service fee $70 and they cover the rest
@@ShaheedahHill , do chemo work with baca or do u have to pick one naca ????Thank U
Thanks for this! We are closing this Wednesday on our first home! My husband and I have followed you throughout the whole process, we are sooo excited!!!!
I am so excited for you and your family! Congratulations - I love being your virtual agent! Best of luck on the closing 😊
Congratulations to you guys!
Congratulations
Congratulations 😊🙏🏾
@Jessica congrats to you and your husband on your new home.
Shaheedah when you said, ‘The first thing that builds confidence is knowledge’ I started shouting! That is exactly correct, the Bible even tells us, in all our getting, get an understanding! Hello! Thank you young lady, this platform is a blessing .
Exactly!! Thanks for watching😊
You are a godsend. U explained it like a school teacher and I was in elementary school which is exactly what I needed. Thank u.
You're very welcome! Yes, I used to teach high school - so if I can explain it to high school students barely paying attention, it is easier to explain to adults. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
100% agree. She’s completely genuine and so helpful and has the heart ❤️ of a teacher 👩🏫
Been watching your home buying videos for months. Now moving into my new home. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge! Can’t thank you enough!
So happy for you, congratulations! Thank for watching my videos through your journey it means a lot when buyers come back to share their success. 🙂
Oh my goodness! I'll never get tired of telling little story. I was nervous, scared, uncertain & I was ready to give up & not purchase at all. But my agent Abies in Cali said "Latasha, if you can buy you a home buy it!" I've been in my first home since November 2012. I have no regrets. I also said to myself I'd rather regret buying than not buying. If you can buy a home buy it!
Thanks for watching and sharing. You should have a lot of equity now, you bought at a great time!
Over 10 years ago I applied to a lender. My credit was trash. The lender whom came recommended from a friend told me I wasn’t approved and then refused to take any calls or respond to emails. I simply asked what I could do to improve. Crickets. I haven’t tried up until recently. I’m hoping for a better experience this time. I’ve already gotten a little feedback on things to do. Fingers crossed.
Best of luck on giving another try. Try to find a good Realtor first and then ask them what lenders that recommend .
Praying for you! Stay encouraged
I have walked away from 2 homes because of issues with the home inspection. My fear is moving in and having to pay for "very expensive" repairs.
I'm a homeowner and I have Home Warranty it's about $45 a month it cover all of the major repairs
It's called Old Republic Home Warranty
@@jamessisoutham1466 have you ever used it?
Its like you are reading our minds with these videos lol. Thanks for answering my questions ahead of time.
I spend a lot of time with first time buyers😊, we have to get over all these fears. It helps that I put then in a video. Thank you for watching!
When you talked about the (type of agent to pick for your 1st time home buying experience) you had me doing a flashback. Back in April I saw a video of a agent in the Charlotte, NC metro area who was explaining stuff on their Facebook page. I reached out to them and began asking questions. From the start I could tell the agent was stuck up and didn’t want to answer my questions. She began throwing out higher price figures ($300k and even $700k) homes. She acted like I was forcing her to take me on as a Client. Again, not expecting her to help but just asking question. I left a review of my experience with her on Google and she went and left a remark saying I was mad because I couldn’t afford a home and that’s why I was leaving a negative review…… even though I screenshot our Facebook messages and not one time did I disrespect her nor talked down to her. Totally unprofessional and the real reason why people don’t trust realtors. After that, I just gave up on buying a home. After watching this video, I’ll begin searching for a home beginning in October. Thank you.
Get back out there 😊, watch my...how to hire and to fire and agent video. Thanks for watching.
@@ShaheedahHill I’ve been looking at your videos and I’ve subscribed to your channel and taken some good notes. Most of what you’ve been saying I was already doing, but the videos are building up my confidence that I was doing everything right and that I have to trust myself and my judgements before anyone else. I will get out there soon and begin looking.
@@ricotheofficial May God continue to Bless you 🙏🏾 You will make it and purchase a home! Perhaps a lot of people
as well as myself, have had a
simular experience with the
real estate industry. A great thing you said was " trust myself ".Trust God before anyone else!🙏🏾
@@arnoldnicholson2165 amen 🙏🏾. Thank you for those kind words.
I feel soooo special. I finally received a notification 🥰
Yes! You are special!
Thanks for all your advise . I close on my first home on Friday 8/20/21
So exciting!!! Congratulations
I work in the mortgage industry and I have seen loans go for YEARS of foreclosure status before their home goes up for auction. It definitely depends on the situation but still.. that's crazy.
Aside from the regular inspection, I would get additional inspections:
Get a professional plumber to do an inspection.
Get a professional roofing company to do an inspection.
Get an electrical Co. To do an inspection.
Get an HVAC Co. To do an inspection.
That is an excellent idea! But does that cost extra money to the buyer?
@@parrisnia72 yes, but it’s worth it and it’s not too much. Some companies will give you an estimate for free.
Can you do a video about the steps on getting approved for a new build ? And everything I should know.
Watch my "New Construction" videos 1st. I have 2, may do another one soon. Thanks for watching!
Wow!! The Realtor Queen strikes again!!! You had me at #1 thru 10! The rejection fear is real for me. However, I never thought of the knowledge that would be gained. This was extremely clear to me as a hygienist with your references to practicing good oral hygiene...way to put it in perspective! Gems 💎 dropping all over this video! Great job as always, Shaheedah! 🥰
Thank you so much for the feedback and for watching. Best of luck - go get that pre-approval 😊
Yes ma'am! You're welcome.
Thank you so much for the knowledge information. I enjoy content.
Thanks for watching!
20:55 yes indeed! Major jewels right ✅ here!
Hey Shaheedah! I'm a huge fan of your channel and found your videos extremely helpful during the home buying process. I just moved to my new home and am thankful to have watched a lot of your videos which helped educate me and allay many of my fears. Keep up the great work.
Awesome! Thank you! Congratulations on your home - I hope you love being a homeowner😊 Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you, Shaheedah!
Thanks for watching!
Great advice, I wish you was around my first time i purchased a house but I'm doing again now and I'm much better prepared, I got caught up in the market when it crashed and Chase basically took my house, Chase bought my loan, I had been in my house about 8 or 9 years it was a conventional loan for 30 years and a fix rate but Chase almost doubled mortgage payments like it was variable-rate, I had set my budget for the original payments that I was paying, I could not make those payments and tried to refinance my home with Chase but Chase wouldn't do it, Chase had no reason not to, the house at the time cost $249,000 I put down $50,000 and like i said, I lived the house for about 9 years so i had equity in the house, Chase foreclosed on me and lost the house, I felt that Chase purposely took my house because and this is the kicker, there was never a foreclosure place on my credit report, do you find that strange? I never knew what could i do about, if you can give me some advice on what I can do, someone else has bought the house but if they did something illegal to me, yes i would want my house back or if i recoup the money I lost.
Thank you
Thank you so much for giving me more insight on first time home buyers tips...I will definitely use them along the way...
You are so welcome!
You seem to know your stuff! I just subscribed so happy I found you! I would add a #11 and that would be my age, I am 51 and I am scared that I am too old to be trying to buy a house for the first time 🥺 I keep thinking that perhaps I should be looking for advise on retirement instead of buying a house. You make so much sense to me though you make me feel this is really possible 🙂 I don't know where to start 😬
Welcome! Head over to my Too Old to Buy a house video... for my opinion on that. Thanks for watching - you should definitely go for it!
I’m 55 and looking to purchase my first home, you’re never too old to purchase a home, you’re not even old enough to retire. Let me be your cheerleader since I’m older, child, go save up some money and get your forever home.
@@CoolCraftyCreations Thank You! 😊
A friend of mine who is like my grandfather figure is 77 , he just bought his first home ! Don't let age get to you , you can do it !!
@@karimsanchez8058 Wow!!! That's encouraging.
Thank you! This is my fave channel!!!
Thank you
I wish u were in Florida, u would definitely absolutely be my agent with my house,,u are absolutely knowledgeable, thanks for all you information and I will keep watching your channel
Appliance: 8-15? All depends on make and model. I’m more worried about plugging and roofing and electrical.
Thank you Ms Hill. You listed all my fears and dispelled them. I wish I could heart this times x100 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much. Thank you for watching.
Another great video as always 👍🏽
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Every info take us over the hill, thank you so much.
Yes, we will get there!
Shaheedah ..I love your intelligence....I can talk to u all day..I live in NC..I don't know if you work with potential clients in NC since your in GA .
Unfortunately, I am only licensed in GA. 😊
Can you talk about buying the land and house don't want to mortgage or pay taxes property 👍🏾👍🏾♐♐👀💗
Best video ever. I got so much knowledge from this video.
Thanks I appreciate the feedback🙂
Do you have a video on buying a house as is because a person lived in the house as a rental?
No. not at this time.
Hi Shaheedah thank you for making these videos. i enjoy your content. I also find encouragement and so much great information through your channel. I am in the works of getting pre-qualify my fear like you say maybe not having a good Rate to income ratio.
You are so welcome! You will be fine, congrats on taking the first step.
In my state, safe + good school = house $$$ > 400k
Fear buying a lemon. Looking at a few condos it’s been in Zillow for 172 day. Future Assessment, lien, structural issue.. do you have a video how to check out a condo
Yes, I do. Here you go th-cam.com/video/ctNTnIt7yLA/w-d-xo.html
You missed plumbing issues! I’ve had customers pay over 20k plus on plumbing issues.
Great point!
@@ShaheedahHill only reason I know is because I am a plumber and I’ve been to customers houses that they just bought and they have to replace all their sewer system. I recommend a sewer test before purchasing the home
Thank you for all your information it's very helpful especially speaking with my realtor. You have clear and concise information that helps cut the anxiety. Now I can ask questions with confidence that I have clear understanding. Thank you
Yes, just think of me of as your virtual Realtor 🙂 Just don't say " Well
...Shaheedah said on TH-cam🤣"
@@ShaheedahHill I promise...I'll say alittle 🐦 told me.😉 I feel armed with knowledge that I didn't have before and confident.
Thanks, Mrs.Hill 💚
Thank you Earth Angel - Did you find a house yet?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
'You are very knowledgeable! Thank you! You’re great!!!
Thanks for watching
This is so good. Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Thank you Mrs Hill. I have a better understanding now. I need to go back and look at my loan estimate to see these names and amount.
Thanks for watching!
Fear of current owners trashing the home before closing. Currently waiting for closing at end of May
Make sure you schedule your walk thru a few days prior to closing
Excellent information. Can you please do a video regarding current Interest rates and hidden terms, Point Fees in these offered Interest rates.
My most recent video is on points. 🙂
Hi.i would like to see if you could talk about second house buyers to thnk you.
2nd homes, after keeping your first or selling your first?
Thx so much for helping us
Thanks for watching!
This video is fantastic
Thank you, I really appreciated you watching.
Do you have a video talking about if hard inquiries are added to your credit during the pre-approval? I'm also worried about that. How many lenders should I try?
3 lenders when you are close to buying - watch this video I address the hard inquires. th-cam.com/video/SzO9kK7qaiw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!😊
Very informative. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on realestate its very helpful 😊
You're so welcome!
This was so educational and reassuring thanks Shaheeda 😊
Thanks for watching
I absolutely love your videos! I was wondering if you can make a video on probate house listings and what to look for as a buyer (are they really a good deal?). And also can you make a video on listings that suddenly slash their prices. Lately I've been seeing listings that suddenly slash their prices anywhere from $5k to $40k. Are these home sellers desperate? Or is this buyer beware? Especially if the house is listed for less than what it was sold for last. Thanks.
Probate, can be a good deal but typically sold as is - so you need to make sure you have the fund to do repairs or cosmetic upgrades. For sudden price decreases they were either over priced to begin with or they have condition issues. There are 3 reasons that a house is not selling 1. Price 2. Condition 3. Location. I hope this helps - find a good Realtor in your area. I have a video called "7 things to ask your Buyers agent now" watch that. Also, some agents specialize in probate so be on the look out for those if you are interested in pursuing those listings.
Hi Shaheeda,
Thank you for providing this helpful video. My biggest fear at the moment is, what if I decide to go back to school to pursue another degree. I’ve saved a significant amount of money, I make a pretty good salary with my job currently. But if I go back to school, I may have to pay my mortgage with financial aid and possibly a PT job, if I go to school full-time. However, it’s no guarantee I’ll be in school next year; August 2022, contingent on whether I pass my test to get accepted. What are your thoughts on this?
I wouldn't buy a house with the instability, I definitely wouldn't pay my mortgage with student loans.
Great video, thank you!
My pleasure!
This is a WONDERFUL video!!!! Touched on several concerns of mine. I really appreciate the explanation, suggestion, or remedy you gave for each...helped take the edge off. Thank you Shaheeda!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video , I am closing this Monday Jan 3 , 2022 . I bought a 3 bedroom condo . 5000 Dollars in equity , the appraisal was 5000 over asking price , the inspection was good . I am a first time buyer my credit is 800 and with a stable job with an excellent rental history . I was approved right away . Put down 30 % . Out of curiosity any tips for first time buyers ? I wonder if I can apply for any type of assistance for a first time buyer ? Probably not but does not hurt to ask . I make 50,000 a year
Congrats on your closing today. You may have not qualified for any programs that has income restrictions. It looks like you did well. Please watch this video for after closing: th-cam.com/video/yG_6pR8ptkE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Shaheedah, my biggest fear is getting to the end of closing and being denied! Idk why I’m thinking like this🤷🏽♀️! I have a 2 pre-approval, currently no realtor and time is ticking!!!!! Help meeeee ugh
This is why people are denied at closing typically : 1. Something financially changes between when you initially did the application and when you go under contract (like a job loss) 2. Your credit score changes significantly 3. Or something that you initially submitted for the pre-approval is no longer accurate * To eliminate this fear - find a lender that will take you through underwriting before going under contract and make sure you remain consistent financially while under contract. * Watch my underwriting video and 5 mistakes buyers make under contract. Thanks for watching ---- and go buy a house!
Great Job ! ❤️
Thank you!
Ms Hill I love all of your video's. Would it be good to get Home shield appliance insurance. For protection.
Probably not read the reviews. Typically it is better to save that money you would have spent on the insurance in your own savings account... because there is a lot of fine print in those programs. You think you are covered but typically for large repairs you are not. Thanks for watching
@@ShaheedahHill Ok great idea. Your video's are awesome. When I get where I need to be I'll be calling you. We ready to move out of this UGA town and move where there are better oppertunities for my girls career wise and things to do. If I misspelled any words I'm sorry I'm texting without my contacts in.
Thank you so much for this video! 💗
Hey Shaheedah, how do you locate a lender who will review the approval of a mortgage before settlement?
Get a recommendation from your real estate agent. Thanks for watching!
Great video as usual! What states can you work in? Mississippi?
Only Georgia for now 😊 Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Why would anyone waive those 3 contingencies??
To get the house, during the pandemic homes were in such low supply people were willing to.
Hi beautiful! So I’m a first time homebuyer my realtor just put in my 2nd offer for a townhome and it was accepted! I’m now under contract as of yesterday but I have to pay 2500 in escrow up front is this normal? There is no earnest deposit. I thought you didn’t pay escrow until closing. Please let me know. Thank you
Sounds like you may be paying what is called "options money", basically money to get your offer accepted by the seller. That is really all it could be, options money or earnest money. I doubt they would have accepted an offer without earnest money. Ask your agent to clarify for you, it could be one or the other or a combination. It also should be in your contract what the money is.
Hi how do I get in touch with you, I’m looking to move to Georgia Thanks
There is a link in the description.
😮😮Soooooo DPA doesn’t really put me in a better position to purchase???? 😭😭😭
It depends. Watch my DPA playlist
Hi,can u mix down payment baca and chemo
Depends on the program
@Shaheedah Hi. I will be buying a modular home from off the sellers lot meaning brand new will I need a realator?
No you shouldn't unless you need to buy the land... but let me check. Don't sell many of those. They are considered personal property usually, until the are on a foundation .
@@ShaheedahHill thanks so much
My parents own several houses and are willing to sell one of them to us. Do we still need a realtor?
No, I would just get an attorney and an accountant. The attorney to facilitate the transaction and the accountant to advise you on how to do it so it will best for your parents financially.
@@ShaheedahHill Thank you! We’ll definitely do that.
Mrs. Hill thank you for the information I have a wonderful team that's working very hard to help me buy my first home.
Awesome! Thank you for watching and best of luck!
What if you live in NY but want to buy a house in TX?
Please watch my " Buying a house in another state video" That will help.
For me, its ending up with too much house. I dont want to be house-broke or have an empty house .
Purchase below your approval amount so you never feel over extended.
💎
My fear in I'm a low income earner.
That's a whole other video, but there is a USDA direct program for low income buyers, watch that video. But the short answer is think of some ideas to increase your income... use TH-cam university to find some ideas🙂
As someone who is single my biggest fear was loosing my job and letting go my savings. Thank you for this!!!!
Thank you for watching!!
Shaheeda you give good advice,but here's what every person who is thinking about buying a house,learn about the house and its components,and how they work,actually get some knowledge so you don't have to depend on someone else to tell you something is wrong or right,it's a bunch of old and new lemons out here,I recommend watching a show called Mike Holmes Makes it right,on Diy network,atleast watch 20 episodes,before even contacting a realtor or bank,having no knowledge about something your getting yourself into is a disaster waiting to happen.this is why females and some males get robbed by mechanics, cause they have no knowledge about cars and the systems they have in them or how they work, then be mad at everyone but themselves for being ignorant . lemon
I agree, there need to be some home maintenance classes...
