10 QUESTIONS SELLERS SHOULD ASK THEIR DIGHTON-REHOBOTH AGENT 1. How Many Homes Did you sell last year?- I know you hear this all the time, but experience really does matter. AND Remember, it's not the years' experience that matters most, it's the number of transactions. I know a woman who has been in the business 30 years and only sells 3 houses a year on average. Get some referral phone numbers of satisfied sellers and call them.  2.  What is their average sale to list price percentage?  You want a strong negotiator for an agent. Someone who cares about your bottom line. 3. Do you have a website that drives buyers to it from the internet?  If you agent cannot show you their lead capture website  with the number of buyers they are driving to their website, you may want to consider a dif...

5 Reasons to Sell Your Dighton Rehoboth Home This Spring- By Lori Lincoln-Broker-Keller Williams Realty 508-878-0917.As I work with buyers and sellers in this market this year, I am noticing trends in prices going up and interest rates starting to rise. While the increase in pricing is a plus for sellers right now, this year may very well be the best time for you to consider selling.Here's why:1. Home Value Trends - In most of Massachusetts including Dighton and Rehoboth, on average, we realized 6-12% increase in value over the past 2 years.  You home may be worth more than you think! 2. Supply and Demand- There are fewer homes on the market this year, which means less competition for home sellers. Buyers are out buying now, and multiple offers are very common this year. 3. Low Interest...

This blog post was originally titled "Private Money in Action" however when I was posting the following pictures it occured to me that this lead and eventual closing came to me through Activerain. Pretty cool.   Anyway, telling the story with words is one thing. Sometimes it's nice to see the story told in pictures. These pictures are from a new construciion loan (originated by my office) in which the loan helped my client get control of the land, prep it for a new modular constructed home and assemble it.   Here is the empty lot... One section delivered... Second section... On the foundation. It's a Raised Ranch!

(Centsable Inspection)
A Rehoboth MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.

  5 Easy Tips to Increase Value of Your Rehoboth MA Home - Most you can do yourself. When you are contemplating selling your home, you should consider the buyer's tastes,  not yours.  Buyers must see value supercede the price. So how do you get there? 1. Deep Clean and Declutter-  The number one complaint today among home shoppers, is that a home either smells bad or is dirty.  Today's home buyers like "Clean".. they want to the ability  to "see your house"<  and they are easily distracted by personal photos, trash and recylce bins left out, cluttered countertops,pet dander, foul odors and more. If you have a basement, clean it all out. Remove items AWAY from the furnace, hot water tank and electrical panel. BONUS POINT- Rent a Dumpster and/or a storage unit. 2. Wallpaper Removal and Fr...

Simply Stated, and pardon my direct demeanor.. but what are you waiting for? Take that plunge already. Fear shouldn't EVEN be a factor in this market. A 200,000 house could be less than $1000. in a mortgage payment. Can you rent a house for that low price per month? In addition to a low payment, you'll can park anywhere you want on your property. You can use the backyard whenever you like. Interest rates are now in the low 4's for a 30 year fixed rate.  What this means to you is a house payment that would be less than rent. Home prices are at an all time low too. Applying for a loan is easy peasy Buyers, you are wondering where the bottom is, it could be now or 1 year from now or 4 years from now.. but hear this.. Over time, not only does buying real estate give you a place to live, it ...
