Danbury, CT is a very interesting place when it comes to real estate. In the past, I have had clients request to only tour homes serviced with public water and public sewer.  Even with their fairly good sized budget, it severally limited the number of homes available that we could look at. They also told me which parts of town they would like or not want to be as well.Generally speaking, please consider the following:-All townhome/condos in Danbury are required to be serviced by public water & sewer.-Almost all properties in city center will be serviced by public water & sewer.-Almost all homes up by Richter Golf Course will be serviced by private septic & well.-Almost all homes over by Candlewood Lake will be serviced by private septic & well. There are some communities which have priv...

When you are purchasing a townhome in CT, there is a standard contingency. In addition to the normal stuff a home buyer would ask need, including a satisfactory building inspection, getting a mortgage, clean title & formal contract of sale and the house appraising, the sale is also contingent of the buyers review & approval of the by-laws and resale package. This is paperwork given to us that is ordered by the attorney's office from the property management company. It is typically ordered once the building inspection is complete and after right the formal contracts have been signed. It is never ordered from the offer is submitted by the home buyer.This is different than the condo questionnaire that your lender does need as part of the mortgage process.The by-laws and resale package tell...

Each individual property and home owner determines the way showings are handed for the sale of their home in the Greater Danbury & Candlewood Lake area of Western Connecticut. There are some basics that I keep doing for all my the properties that I have represented over the years:-Each home must have a lockbox on. It does not have to be out all the time if you are not comfortable with it. Only licensed agents can use it and it is not a combination that can be possibly broken into. Agents can only access the unit with their registered & secured program on their cell phone.  -The sellers, if still living in the house, will only be contacted me for all showings. They will not get calls or text messages from other agents for notifications of showings, the inspections, bank appraisal coming ...

When you purchase or a sell a home in the state of Ct, you will need to engage a real estate attorney to represent you for the closing. They are responsible for performing the title search, preparing the formal contact of sale, holding the earnest money deposit & contract funds, working with the lenders to prepare the final closing numbers, releasing and recording the documents of sale at the town municipalities, obtaining any homeowner association paperwork and much more.

As a real estate agent serving the Greater Danbury area, it is my goal to help my home buyer clients purchase their next home My clients ultimately decide on which property they would like to purchase, and how much they would like their offer to be on a home. It depends on how much you want the house.Most homes are generally selling between 97-98% of their final asking price. To prove to sellers that you are serious about their home, I would recommend home buyers start their offers at about 90% to kind of feel the sellers out, based on my experience. However, before making the offer, I prepare a formal market analysis on the home to see about where the home should sell for. I also examine the tax record of the home and review the property history. We would need to take more about a stra...

There are still some distress properties in the Greater Danbury & Candlewood Lake area. Distress properties means a bank owned foreclosure or a short sale. In both cases,the home is being sold in 'as is' condition. This means the home buyer does have the right to perform their inspections, but the home seller is not going to be fix anything. In a short sale situation, the buyer typically has to perform their inspections prior to the sellers attorney submitting their short sale package into the bank. You might be possibly able to negotiate a little bit of money of the purchase price  on the short sale with the home seller if there are items that concern you but are reasonable(submit to the lien-holders approving the sales price), which we can talk about after the inspection.  In a short ...

Home sellers in the Danbury,CT area will need a market analysis on their home when it's time to list their home for sale. This is a on-going living and breathing document that talks about what is on the market, what homes are under deposit & in contract and what has recently sold in your neighborhood or town that is similar to what your home has to offer. After evaluating this information, home sellers should understand where their home should be listed at in hopes of selling. As a real estate professional, I have no problem being honest with clients on where they be listed for in order to have a good change of getting an offer in a reasonable time period.When I'm in the process of preparing a market analysis for a client, I take my time and through the local multiple listing service se...

It's important to gather information about your home before it goes on the market.

Being a landlord is not for everyone in the Danbury,CT area.Once you made aware that your tenant does not plan on renewing their lease, owners are faced with a couple of choices. They can either move in the property as their primary residence, put the house on the market for sale or begin the process of advertising the home for lease. As a real estate adviser in the Greater Danbury area, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss the last two options. I have helped clients in those situations before and can advise you on which may be best, but it is your call on what you would like to do. We can evaluate the market to see what the home would sell for and also rent for based on real estate activity in your neighborhood. Owners should evaluate their personal financial situation & their ...

Danbury,CT does offer a large number of townhome communities for residents to live in .A large number of them are primarily owner occupied, being the homes are kept as the owner's home-not rented out. However, there are usually a couple of units that are quite spacious, totaling about 1600 + square feet on the first & 2nd floor plus a finished basement, that has been placed on the market for the lease over the last few years. In most cases, you as the tenant, would be working renting from someone that typically lived in the unit before and then had their situation changed or the real estate market has changed, making them into a landlord-not necessary planning to be one. With the prices of most of these units, one would have to run the numbers carefully to see if it is financially benef...

When you sell your home in the Greater Danbury,CT area with me, I require my clients to fill out an inclusion/exclusion sheet. This a document that spells out what you as the homeowner plan to leave for the home buyer purchasing the home, what you plan on taking with you. You can also list what items you would like to be negotiable for, depending on what the overall offer is for the house. Items listed on this sheet include appliances, window treatments, lighting fixture, sheds or play-sets, fireplace tools and more-some of the items may not even apply to your property. I request the home buyers to sign this form as part of their offer, so at the last minute they won't come back complaining that something was excluded. This also means that you as the home seller are obligated to deliver...
