Buying a Home

Your time matters. As a consumer, you have access to more information than ever before. As a home buyer, your access to real estate information is extensive. What to do with that information, and how to make a wise decision in the midst of thousands of options, is the challenge that Michelle Blessing helps her clients with every day.

Anyone can show you homes; but showing you the homes that fit your needs, your budget and your lifestyle is the responsive, consumer-driven care you deserve.  In 2007 there are more options, in more places, with more financing vehicles than at anytime in decades. Michelle Blessing will help you make sense of all of these options, and choose a course of action that will bring you years of happiness.

On Michelle's home page, you will find access to ALL MLS listings. On each property page you can determine specific financing options for that home, peruse all MLS information, investigate the schools in the immediate area, and utilize the Microsoft Live Mapping Information. Once you determine what your needs are, you can begin selecting homes for viewing. Or if you are not quite ready to look for homes, or want more information on the homes, you can set up a personal account where  homes that meet your criteria are e-mailed to you as soon as they come on the market.  For even greater personalization, you can contact Michelle and she will build a personal website for you where you can see homes as they become available and sort them into favorites or rejects.  For your free personal website, contact Michelle at Mblessing@erashields.com

Every home is different, and every buyer has unique needs and desires.  That means matching the clients’ needs and lifestyle with a specific residence, a home that is a smart investment for both the pocketbook as well as the heart. Michelle's years of experience consistently gives her clients a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Michelle Blessing can also help you with financing of your home. She not only helps buyers get into homes, but her value shines most when it comes to helping her clients through the details of a financial transaction. Exotic mortgages may work for some buyers, but they can be a significant detriment to others not familiar with the risks and consequences involved in special financing. One of the unfortunate consequences of the recent surge in foreclosures are numerous properties saddled with a debt larger than their market value. Michelle can help you in making your dreams both achievable as well as financially responsible. A classic truth of real estate is that money is made on the buy. The Pikes Peak real estate market in 2007 is an advantageous market for a buyer to buy into. Colorado Springs was voted the most livable city in America by Money Magazine in 2006, and unemployment is just above 4.0%. The fundamentals for consistent, scalable, long-term appreciation are in place and there is a great selection to choose from of both resale homes as well as newly built residences.
