Welcome to Owning a Home

Free Resources for Home Owners, Home Buyers & People Selling Their Home

A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. Not only are homes where we find shelter, but they are where we build memories, start families and live our lives. They can help us express who we are by the way we choose to live within them, and can offer us security and pride of ownership.

This site is a collection of articles about owning a home. Whether you are a current home owner, a first time home buyer (or a many time home buyer!), or are selling your home there is sure to be an article that will help you.

For current home owners we discuss a wide variety of topics ranging from explaining homeowners insurance to offering decorating tips and ideas, information about refinancing and more.

Home buyers will find resources discussing what types of mortgages are available, down payment gift and grant programs, credit repair, pre-qualification vs. pre-approval, buying vs. renting, deciding if you are really ready to buy a home, dealing with buyer’s remorse when you finally do, and other programs available to first time home buyers.

If you are selling your home our articles will provide great tips on how to make the most money from selling your home including staging your home, improving your curb appeal for the exterior of homes, offering down payment assistance to your buyers, common seller mistakes to avoid and more.
