Buying Your Dream Home with Celebrity Homes



Homeownership remains one of the highest goals for many people because of its many benefits. Along with owning a home comes a sense of security and belonging that cannot be found elsewhere. For many, homeownership represents personal and financial success, as well.

The Benefits of Owning a Home from Celebrity Homes

There is a great deal of personal satisfaction in living in a home that you own. A home is a valued investment that can have many financial advantages and tax benefits. It’s also the place where you make the memories that last a lifetime.

The interest you pay on a home loan and the real estate taxes you pay on your home are among the few major federal tax deductions. In fact, owning a home is the primary way most people build wealth. Buying a home is also good for our communities, because families who own their homes are more involved in their communities and participate in local events.

In short: Buying a home with Celebrity Homes just makes good financial and personal sense.

Financing a New Home with Celebrity Homes

Many people like to meet with their lender before they start their home search. This can be very helpful because you can go over your debts, your income, and any other issues that may affect your home loan. This process will also allow your lender and you to determine exactly how much you qualify for in a monthly payment and how much overall debt you can have.

At Celebrity Homes we do this process slightly different. We allow you to view our model home and determine exactly which one meets your needs. All of our agents have been trained on financing. They are qualified to help you with FHA, NIFA, VA, and USDA loans or a conventional loan. Once you find a home you like, our agents will help you with any sort of financing option you are interested in exploring. They can answer any questions you might have and can, in some cases, get you preapproved.

When you discuss buying a new home with one of our agents, here are a few things we will cover:

• How much you can afford
• The down payment
• What type of loan will be best for you
• The loan
• How to qualify for the loan
• Closing costs

The only way to know if you qualify for the home of your dreams is to come out, look at our model homes, and talk to one of our agents. We think you will be pleasantly surprised about what you discover. In most cases we can help you make that home of your dreams a reality in a shorter time than you ever dreamed possible.

Controlling Energy Costs in Your New Home



Want to control the energy costs in your new home? Celebrity Homes knows the cost of energy can make your new house a great experience or a nightmare. We want you to save as much money as possible on your energy costs so you can spend money on more important things: like furnishing your new home.

What is the E2 Smart Program?

Results from a National Pollution Prevention Roundtable study showed that between 2001 and 2003, 29 pollution prevention programs in the United States prevented a whopping 6 billion pounds of pollution, reduced energy usage by 1.2 billion kilowatt hours and conserved more than 44 billion gallons of water. These measures resulted in more than $500 million in cost savings. This shows that sustainable environmental performance is not simply a nice afterthought of doing business – it’s a necessity.

Even if you aren’t environmentally conscious, this program just makes sense because it can save you a significant amount of money. Whatever your priorities are, we think you will learn to really appreciate this program.
