Purchasing a multi family home in the Greater Danbury area does offer some advantages. You can collect rent from two or more apartments. However, unlike purchasing a traditional single family or townhome, there are additional things to consider.-Property condition. Generally speaking, most where built prior to WWII, so they are generally 60+ years old.  I would highly recommend a building inspection as part of your terms and conditions on an offer. -Lease information: Find out long how the tenants have been there, if there's any sort of signed lease, what they are currently paying. Based on the information, we can see if the current rents are fair if there is potential to have the rents go higher. We would also want to how much security deposit was given by the tenants at the signing of... 11/14/2018

I'd also apperciate if you could give a preferred time or two, so I can see how my schelude is played out. If you want to view homes in person either if you are thinking of purchasing or need to rent, it is best to set up an appointment with about twenty four homes notice-as the owners need notice to get their home ready to show as most homes are still lived in.  I would also like about a day or two's notice if you;d like to make arrangemnts for a visit if you are selling so I can give to gather some information about your home, do a quick driveby and start a prelimary evaluation.Do you feel up to taking abou... 11/13/2018

This might be stating the obvious, but you can't sell your Danbury,CT home if it is not listed for sale. It does not you no justice having the home being withheld from the MLS or other websites and only marketed via word of mouth. The goal of advertising is to cast a wide-span canvassing all platforms to attract as many qualified and interested buyers as possible. Hopefully that will create a sense of urgency & buyers will be going forth with strong offers quickly. If no one knows about the house, it may be tough to get it sold and you on your way. If it is not a good time to have buyers come through your house, don't even think about trying to list as buyers will be disappointed they can't come in.  If you don't your neighbors to know that you are moving, we don't have to order a 'For ... 11/13/2018

It's pretty much clean & simple when you sell your home in the Greater Danbury & Candlewood Lake region When you sell your home, you have to be out of the house and all of your stuff has to be gone. In some parts of the country, it is customary to let the sellers stay for up to a week after the house is sold so they can move out. That's not the case at all-renting back from the new owner almost never is allowed, advised or practiced. If you are planning on renting after you sell the house that you currently own, you have to be financially prepared to give your security deposit & 1st month rent on the rental before you close on your new home, sign the lease as well as get the keys so you can move in about a week or so before you close on your old home. That was you would have enough time... 11/12/2018

Conventional wisdom for selling your home in the Greater Danbury and Candlewood Lake area would lead you to believe that it is the best time to list your home in hopes of a sale would be early March to the early June, so buyers can get in get and settled before the school year begins. It typically takes about 60 days to close on a home once an offer has been accepted. However, if you don't want to move in the summer months, that's ok not all buyers want to or have to. You should list your a home a few months out from when you are looking to move. Buyers are still purchasing  homes. Leases for apartments are up at all different times of the year. Depending on the time of the year, there many be more buyers looking, but more serious ones are the ones that are out in the winter months when... 11/12/2018

Each buyer has their own schedule of when they think they should buy a home. I have heard clients buy the first house they see and others have have seen close to 100 properties, made several offers on different houses but didn't work out for one reason or another before one was accepted. If you want to live in the house and feel it's a good value etc, be prepared to write up an offer. If you really don't want to live there or want to see other homes before deciding, that's fine. I have found that most it usually takes about seeing twenty homes on average before going forward with an offer-once they decide on area where they want to live. It can be faster when you are looking for a townhome, as many of the units are quite similar, once you decide on which neighborhood best suites your ne... 11/08/2018

I ask people do you want to see homes or do you really need to move & financially ready to move? The 2nd part of the question is the most important. If one is looking for ideas of decorating, you can get ideas of what some people are doing by looking online at various home listings or stopping by public open houses.  If you want to see homes and financially ready, we should also talk about your time-frame. If you are not committing to moving for two years, we can out once or twice for an overall of available properties, but shouldn't go out of a regular basis since it can be intrusive to the property owners which are living there-which is most homes currently on the market for sale which are planning to moving in a reasonable time frame. We can stay in touch after that and catch up when... 10/27/2018

As a property expert in the Danbury & Candlewood Lake area of Connecticut, I am propositioned by anxious owners of their home. They often invite me to pick my brain on the market. I often debate in my mind whether they are just wanting a price on their real estate for future planning or actually planning on moving immediately or in the near future. Sometimes clients don't tell me up front, which isn't that beneficial to either of us, even when I try to get your motivation. The price for the selling your house now or in the future shouldn't be the only thing that you should consider when hiring a real estate agent. You should feel confident on how our home will be marketed, explanation of how the sales process works, knowledge of the market & a complete explanation and review of how aris... 10/20/2018
