Buying WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE LOT THE HOUSE IS ON Most Buyers have heard the saying, “location, location, location.”  Every Buyer has budget limitations.  Depending on where you want to live, and your budget, you will likely need to make compromises – size of house, proximity to amenities and work, neighborhood location versus busy road, and more. You also need to have a good piece […]
Real Estate THE PRE-SALE INSPECTION? BAD IDEA or GOOD IDEA? Most Agents have a strong view on whether a Seller should conduct a pre-sale home inspection.  Most would advise a Seller against conducting a pre-sale home inspection.  My opinion is that the pre-sale inspection is a prudent course of action.  It does have two costs for the Seller.  The actual cost of the Inspection itself […]
Real Estate WHAT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN DURING A LISTING APPOINTMENT The Listing Appointment is an interview of sorts – for the Seller to understand what a particular Real Estate Agent has to offer and the firm that the Agent is associated with has to offer as well.  The Agent is also interviewing the Seller to understand the Seller’s objectives.

Buying CAN I ADD ON TO THAT HOUSE? You love the neighborhood!  You love the lot!  You would love the house, but just with a little more space!  Don’t just assume you can expand.  It is time to pause.  While expanding your home in most instances can be accomplished, you need to do a little more research about the process to verify you […]
Buying Focus on the House, not the Couch Often when I am hosting an Open House, I hear buyers talking about how their furniture will fit or be placed in the home.  The rooms of most concern are mainly the Living Room, Dining Room and Master Bedroom.  Furniture does represent a substantial investment for most home owners.  A sofa, dining table, or bedroom […]
Buying SO, YOU ARE BUYING A HOME WITH A SEPTIC SYSTEM… If you are coming from a location with a Sewer this may be a whole new world to you and the thought…or fact…that waste (from your toilet, sink, and shower) ends up in your yard may be frightening and a little disgusting. First Things First:  This is not about how Septic Systems work or Septic […]
