Although many of the nation’shomeowners have mortgageescrow accounts, a great dealof confusion still exists aboutthe benefits they provide.
An escrow account is set upby your lender to pay for prop-erty taxes, insurance premi-ums, or other appropriateexpenses. Just some of theadvantages include:Bills are paid on time:
Homeowners need not worryabout overlooking a deadlineor coming up with large, lump-sum payments for criticalexpenses.Unexpected increases are
taken care of: It is the lender’s
responsibility to allow for possi-ble increases in taxes andinsurance premiums.Shortages are taken care of:
It’s very common for lenders topay taxes and insurance premi-ums before the homeownerhas paid in all the money due.Rates and downpayments
stay lower: By making mort-gage loan portfolios a moresecure and profitable invest-ment escrowing helps keepinterest rates and downpay-ments more affordable.Local Governments save
money: Escrow accounts giveyour local government a moreefficient and less expensive
way to collect taxes.The law is very specific on
how escrow funds are collectedand managed. A lender or loanservicer can require a monthlypayment equal to one-twelfth ofthe total estimated taxes, insur-ance premiums, and otheranticipated charges. Plus, thelender may collect an addition-al amount as a “cushion” toavoid account deficiencies.Since state laws can also affect
escrow deposits, contact yourlender or local HUD office, ifyou have questions about yourown account.
For a free consultation to dis-cuss which type of mortgageloan will work best for you, callVictoria Spannaus at WellsFargo Home Mortgage at (800)741-7813 or 910-692-6225.

Prudential Gouger O’Neal & Saunders 2009 Award WinnersSOUTHERN PINES, NC -
Prudential Gouger O’Neal &Saunders (PGOS) Real Estatehas once more retained itsunique status as a major leaderin Moore County real estate for2009. With the changing realestate market, the efforts of oursales associates are even moreimportant.
PGOS is the oldest real estatefirm in the Pinehurst/SouthernPines area and has occupied theleadership position in the localmarket for more than 40 years.By focusing on customer service,the brokerage has maintained adominant market share and con-tinuously and consecutivelyearned its leadership status.With more than 50 sales associ-ates, Prudential Gouger O’Neal &Saunders Real Estate has themost experienced real estatesales professionals in the area.
When asked to explain thecompany’s continued success,Prudential Gouger O’Neal &
Saunders Real Estate President,Kay Beran, attributed their trackrecord to customer loyalty and adepth of professional experience.
“Our firm has a client base thathas been with us for generations.We are selling to the children ofthe families we began with yearsago, and some of our agents arechildren of the agents who start-ed with us many years ago,” saidBeran. “Our sales professionalsoffer more than 450 years ofcombined selling expertise toproperty owners in MooreCounty. The typical sales agentwill leave the real estate industryafter 6 years. Almost half of ouragents have been with PrudentialGOS a minimum of 10 years. Oursales professionals are the bestin Moore County and strive tokeep abreast of real estate trendsby participating in our continuingeducation and e-technologyclasses and programs. Our TopProducers have been steady,hard workers. They know theirmarket and have maintained afocused outlook throughout2009. ”
“As we know, 2009 has been achallenge for the real estateindustry nationwide,” Beran said.“However, since the beginning of2010, we have been encouragedby an increase in buyer traffic.Moving forward we are preparingto take advantage of this increaseby using more advanced tools toincrease the exposure for our list-ings with a broader reach on theweb.”
“In addition to elevated onlineexposure,” added Beran, “we arereintroducing a powerful tool thatPrudential Real Estate Affiliatescreated several years ago to pro-vide a stimulus to sales in a simi-lar market, called PrudentialValue Range Marketing. Our sell-ers will have the option to listtheir properties at a fixed price ora range.”
“Prudential Gouger O’Neal &Saunders is the only localPrudential Real Estate office thatgives you the option of listingyour home with a traditional fixedprice strategy or offering yourhome in a range with PrudentialValue Range MarketingSM.Attracting more qualified buyersto your home means a quickersale at a fair price,” said Beranand added, “Prudential ValueRange MarketingSM eliminatesany concern of potentially over orunder pricing your home. It mir-rors the natural buying and sell-ing process, and tends to reducethe number of days a home is onthe market. This proven market-ing strategy encourages buyersto make an offer on the propertyand begin the negotiatingprocess. Regardless of whichpricing tactic you initially choose,
marketing strategies can beswitched at any time during themarketing period. The PrudentialValue Range MarketingSM is anoptional strategy our sellers maywish to consider. We feel it isimportant to offer alternatives toour valued clients.”

Before you goto settlement on a new home,you and your builder will do a"walk-through" to conduct afinal inspection of the newhome. The walk-through pro-vides an opportunity for you tospot items which may need tobe corrected or adjusted, andallows you to learn about theway your new home works.
Some things a builder shouldaddress during the walk-through are:
• The operation of the allhome's components
• The buyer's responsibilitiesfor maintenance and upkeep
• Warranty coverage and pro-cedures
When you buy a new house,you will receive a stack ofinstruction booklets on how to
operate the kitchen appliances,the heating and cooling sys-tems, the water heater andother features in the home.Most likely you won’t be able toget through all of the materialwhile also managing a move.Use the walk-through to havethe builder go over the opera-tion of these items so you canoperate them correctly until youhave time to read the material.
You will also need to learnabout your maintenance andupkeep responsibilities as thehome owner. Most new homescome with a one-year warrantyon workmanship and materials.However, such warranties donot cover problems that devel-op because of failure to per-form required maintenance.Many builders provide a book-let explaining common upkeepresponsibilities of new homeowners and how to performthem.
When inspecting the house,an effective way to handle this
is with a checklist. The listshould include everything thatneeds attention, and you andyour builder should agree to atimetable for repairs. Buildersprefer to remedy problemsbefore you move in because itis far easier to both the crewsand the home owner, work inan empty house prior to youmoving in. Some items mayhave to be corrected aftermove-in and this is fine so longas you and the builder agreeupon a time line for the specificwork to be completed.
It is also important that you bethorough and observant duringthe walk-through. Carefullyexamine all surfaces of coun-ters, cabinets, fixtures, floorsand walls for their finishes.This a situation is once yourmovers complete your move-in;then any dings, scratches, orscuffs will likely have been
caused by the movers and thehome owner will be responsi-ble.
Many builders ask their buy-ers to sign a form at the walk-through stating that all surfaceshave been inspected and thatthere were no damages otherthan what has been noted onthe walk-through checklist. Youcan find a walk-through check-list atwww.nahb.org/forconsumers.
A thorough walk-through willgive both you and your homebuilder peace of mind andallow you to enjoy your brandnew home for years to come.For more tips on closing andmoving into a new home, con-tact The Moore County HomeBuilders Association atwww.mchba.com
