The OBIES are given to recognize outstanding achievement in new home building, marketing, remodeling, and personal achievement categories. Named after the obelisk shape of the physical award given, the OBIEs are the premier awards in the new home construction industry.

First time buyers of new construction homes often wonder why there is an extra charge at the closing table for something called “Title Insurance.” Why would a brand new home, never lived in by anyone else, need title insurance?  There are two primary reasons:

1.  Although the home was never lived in, it was built on vacant land that may have had one, two, or twenty different owners over the years.  The chain of title might not be clear, and title insurance protects you, the new homeowner, from any uncertainty that arises because of that. Once a policy has been accepted, you are insured against claims on the property by previous owners.

Sometimes it’s hard to know when to stop renting and become a homeowner. Taking out a mortgage seems like such a big responsibility. The truth is, you’re paying someone’s mortgage either way. You can decide to pay monthly toward your own future, or you can send that payment to your landlord and invest in his.

At Peggy Slappey Properties, we have clients who rent for all kinds of reasons: bad credit, the need for flexibility, job or income uncertainty, even the desire to avoid maintenance and repair costs. We know there are appropriate times and circumstances for renting, but we also know how beneficial home ownership is.

Most buyers will qualify for a traditional, 30-year fixed rate mortgage. Over the course of 30 years, that payment will stay
