I interviewed for a listing yesterday and the seller said they would mandate all people, agents and buyers have their temperature taken before entering the home. That added a a new responsibility that would require lots of time and liability to who ever lists her home. The interview went well. She loved my approach to selling. Now we had to work on this taking of temperature part.    The first step was getting a Digital Thermometer. I searched Walmart, CVS and Walgreens, none to be had. The pharmacist pulled up a link on her phone and let me take a picture of it. She said it is the one she actually uses at home.   As the home owner gets the home ready to show, I got to working on the plan how to accomplish her wishes. All showings would have to be assisted unless the seller allowed buy...

Put on a helmet and take  a journey with me.  I met a family who needs to sell. They can no longer pay their mortgage. They are though scared beyond most of Covid 19. As I stood there they spoke about how to protect their home and family from buyers coming into their home.   It is a valid fear as many seller have. This family though was behind in their mortgage before Covid 19. The virus may have bought them a few more months. They key fact is they have equity. They don't need to just give the home back, they should sell and use the proceeds to start over. It is a good amount. The problem I had was determining if teh fear was real, or Mrs seller did not want to sell and was making up excuses. Yes that is a mighty statement and yes i did ask her.   When she asked if I would pay to wrap ...

There is two correct answers to the question of what is most shocking with this picture. The first would be we had a dusting of snow and it is suppose to be spring. The second is this is what we found during our final walk through before closing.   Picture Thursday morning, waking up and flakes as big as snow balls falling form the sky. Check the voice mail and nothing. Check the emails and very few. Not an exciting start to the day for sure. Happiness drowns out the depressing things as it was closing day for a sale put under contract before the Virus slowed our real estate world.   The listing agent knew we would be heading over at 10am. They were too busy to meet us so gave me the code. Busy doing what? Oh well it was better if less people were there for social distancing. We did no...

I listed this short sale after It had been on the market almost a year. The sellers owed far more than the house was worth. The home although scary, did not scare me away.  I accepted the challenge and started my journey.   The first thing I did is assisted the seller in moving out. It had been a long time since they cleaned or repaired anything. It was no place to live. The sellers family happily assisted since they were made aware.   The next task was to set the value. I got estimates of what the repairs were and what they would cost. I reached out to the bank and started the short sale.    The next step was bringing in my list of cash buyers. All were told to make their highest and best offer. The best offer was not necessarily the highest, but the investor that knew to purchase it ...

Painting cabinets is the new trend. Why replace when you can make your kitchen alive again with a fresh coat of paint. Your kitchen can become an extension of you. Using vibrant colors can make your cabinets "pop out". Looking at this picture, do you see the problem with this kitchen?    So what is wrong with this kitchen? If you said the counter is cluttered, you would be right. One of the first rules in getting your home ready for sale, is to remove clutter. The kitchen is the heart of the home and should show perfectly.   In the end, I listed this home "as is". The seller was deeply concerned there would not be a buyer. They even considered it selling it for half it's value to one of those "we pay cash for your home" people. I came in and gave the seller a value "as is" and what it ...

In the past I have shared stories about meeting home sellers whose homes needed work. They needed to sell quick for various reasons. They then called the "WE PAY CASH FOR YOUR HOME" people. Some were promptly offered a half price offer on their home. The stories with happy endings are usually where a family member, friend, co-worker or their lawyer stepped in and slowed them down. Many times that is when i get a call and then asked how much their home is worth and how fast could i sell it. Many of these sellers find out we can get them $30,000, $40,000 or even $70,000 more than they were offered. There are many factors that affect value and I point them out. Today the "Pay cash for homes" people started to fight back. Sending emails with links to articles and "you tubes" of why they are...

Are you ready for an adventure? I sure was not. Early on a recent Saturday morning i get a call. It is the neighbor of my newly listed home. The home is vacant. The seller has relocated and put their trust in me to sell it.  I pull up and find 3 moving trucks in front of this Manchester NH area home. There is a battle royal going on WWE STYLE. The 3 different families are ready to move in this home. The problem is, none of them are the buyers.  Some "not so local scammer" posted my listing as a rental listing. Put a half price lease amount and searched for those gull-able enough to rent a home they did not see. One that was at a price too good to ever think it was real. AND who would wire money over seas to the scammer for the rent. They were told to arrive early on Saturday to move in....

Will this home ever sell? Let me introduce you to this seller. They had been relocated for work. They listed with a discount agent and headed South to their new job. Months went by and it did not sell. They could not afford the mortgage and paying rent in their new state. The agent talked them into a lease purchase. Years went by and no purchase. Now another year has gone by and still no purchase and now no rent. The seller needs this home gone.   They were referred to me by a neighbor whose house i sold and then sold them a home in this neighborhood. The seller flew up to meet me and take me through the home. They have not seen the home in 4 years. What we saw was a mess.   I am not sure how much effort was put into selling the home or finding a legitimate rent to own buyer. We were su...

WHAT IS THE MARKET LIKE?  SHOULD I BUY OR SELL A HOME THIS SUMMER 2018? Lets look back and review the Real Estate market in the Manchester NH area THIS SUMMER. 2018 has been a wonderful year for Real Estate. Over all a very busy market that sees new listings coming on the market.  HOME SELLERS who listed with us enjoyed relatively quick sales and at great prices when they list with us. HOME BUYERS who bought through us enjoyed getting ultra low interest rates. They got an insight of what new listing were hitting the market and used our tips to have their offers accepted and closed on their dream homes.  Interest rates bumped a little the start of August which has seen a rush of buyers who were waiting, to act now. WHAT DO WE SEE FOR THE END 2018? During the last week, the Fed raised rat...

What could be worse than a smelly home? Recently looking for fixer uppers for a buyer of mine. We have viewed some pretty smelly homes. Smoke, cats, dogs and one with a sewer smell. Today though we looked at a FSBO in the Manchester NH. It had a smell of pets but something was off. As I stepped on the carpet it appeared to jump. Then it hit me. Bite after bite there was a million fleas. Maybe more.  We ran out of the home, i took off my shoes and socks. Rolled up my pants and what to do. I applied hand sanitizer to kill off anything I could not see. Wait... what? oh the pain... The lesson maybe not to just stay out of smelly home. BUT to not to put sanitizer on flea bites. The second lesson is the sellers should post warnings if they have fleas?  In the end, my shoes and socks went in t...

SHOULD YOU BUY OR SELL A HOME IN 2018? Lets look back and review the Real Estate market in the DERRY NH area. 2017 was a wonderful year for Real Estate. Over all a very busy market that saw a shortage of homes for sale in some markets.  HOME SELLERS who listed with us enjoyed relatively quick sales and at great prices. HOME BUYERS who bought through us enjoyed getting ultra low interest rates. They got an insight of what new listing were hitting the market and used out tips to have their offers accepted and close don their dream homes.  WHAT DO WE SEE FOR 2018? During the last week of December the Fed raised rates. However they had a very small affect on mortgage rates. Rates are the lowest you may see for this year as we do expect an increase again in the spring. If you are thinking of...

What is the best deal in Real Estate today asked a local investor? The answer was buying BANK OWNED HOMES. But how do you d it they asked. There is auctions, and listed homes, unlisted homes and so many banks. So much risk? Where do I start?    Here in the Manchester NH Area, there is a slow and steady flow of foreclosures. Some make excellent purchase for investments, but only if you know what you are doing. Not all agents are familiar with or experienced with Bank Owned Homes, also known as REO.     The first way to buy a foreclosure is at foreclosure auction. This is the most risky way as the sale is cash, AS IS and no contingencies. The buyer is responsible for all liens and additional mortgages, so doing doing it right is a must. The most common way people buy bank owned homes is a...
