Not to be dramatic, but winter is coming. We've had a relatively warm fall so far in the South, but it's time to winterize your home before the first frost sets in.

1. Check doors and windows for leaks
When the cool breeze starts to make its way through the cracks in your home, it can cause moisture to build up and can do some serious damage. It is always a good idea to seal any cracks or leaks that you may have on your window frames, door frames, trim and siding. Your heat bill will also thank you for doing this!

 2. Clean the fireplace and chimney
Ensuring that your fireplace and chimney are clear of any unwanted debris and creosote build up is the best way to prevent a potential house fire. You can always clean a chimney yourself if you are comfortable with doing so, but it is suggested to hire a profession...

Millions of homeowners share their homes with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, hamsters, birds and many other types of our world's finest creatures. We all love our pets dearly, but when it comes to selling your home, it is best to keep the pet exposure to a minimum. Here are five things that you should do if you are a pet-owner who is ready to put your home on the market:

1. Relocate pets during showings
If you are not at your home during showings, then there is no reason for your pets to be there either. I know it is hard to believe, but some people might not love your animals as much as you do.

The easiest way to allow a buyer to focus on the beauty of your home is by eliminating any distractions, and pets happen to be one of those distractions. You don't want a buyer to open a closet and be surprised by a cat sleeping on the shelves, or walk into the gar...

VA loans have amazing benefits for veterans.

Rightfully so, our nation's heroes deserve easy access to financing a brand new home.

One of the benefits of being approved for a VA loan is the lack of a down payment requirement.

Veterans do not have to make a down payment, which is great since a lot of people struggle with saving up for a new home.

However, are there benefits to making a down payment?

Should veterans ever consider this option?

Any veteran that wants to lower their funding fee can make a down payment.

This is simply a one-time fee used to lower the cost that U.S. taxpayers have to make to fund the VA loan program.

By not making a down payment, the funding fee i...
