What should I look for in a seller's agent? I've only spoken with one and can't imagine others telling me anything different.

Don't they all have access to the same database of houses?

The agent I did speak with mentioned something about an 18 month "warranty" included if I decided to go with them. Didn't get the full details, but something to the effect that they will fix any plumbing, eletrical, etc issues at arrise in that time frame. I'm sure there's some kind of deductible... I've never heard of this type of warranty being provided by the agency.

Thanks

Thanks guys.

State, county, city, federal. I have a degree, for what that's worth, which is really not much.

I'm 23, and unsure of where to put my 401k money.

What percentages should I put into the various types of funds (i.e. Large-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Growth, Large-Cap Value, International funds, bonds, stable value, etc.)?

A co-worker who is a somewhat experienced investor suggets 50% Large-Cap Growth, 25% in the Vanguard 500, and 25% in stable value. That seems a bit conservative to me, considering my youth.

What asset allocation percentages would YOU suggest? And why?
