DRAINAGE IN FAUX STONE INSTALLATIONS. Inspired by:  Faux Stone Drainage - Going, Going, Gone!    Jay Markanich has posted what I believe is a very important post!!! When one tours as many new home models and resale homes as does this hard working agent, one learns a few things.  One thing I've learned about faux stone is that over the past few years is, since it's a fairly new product and like all newer products, HAS NOT STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. In the past couple of years, when touring resale homes with faux stone applications, more than would be expected have mortar failures.   I'm no expert in faux stone applications.  However, I can identify a problem when I see it.  I'm seeing this problem more and more.  If I see a faux stone application with serious mortar cracking, missing, etc.,...

My Latest and Greatest Techno Tool for Real Estate, The Qualifier Plus.  The perfect calculator for a real estate agent.  Some tools never get old and that describes the Qualifier Plus.  I am presently working with my 4th.  Over the years, I've given classes for agents in our company in the use of the Calculator Plus.  They all loved it.  Once agent said, "Lenn, this makes me look like a pro." The Qualifier Plus IIIx by Caculated Industries has been my mortgage calculator for several decades. This morning I attended a class, MATH CAMP, for real estate agents.  We covered subjects such as:          What can affect your RATES?          Inverted Yield Curve.          Estimate of Seller's equity.          Mortgage Qualification Worksheet          Adjustable Rates vs. Fixed Rate mortgages.  ...

WHAT is it that INSPIRES US?    Inspired by Fishhawk Lake Early Mornings by Gayle Rich-Boxman.  Reading Gayle's lovely post this morning made me wonder if my early readings of Thoreau could be one of the reasons I have such a love of the outdoors.  Or, could it have been the summers spent on the family farm in N.C?  During the time of my childhood, we didn't have a houseful of toys and games for our entertainment.  We were simply told, "go out an play" and it was up to our own imagination to invent and discover.  Of course, once we reached a certain age, most of a day would be spent in some type of work.  On a farm, there are always chores to keep children and adults busy.  WHY DOES A "WATER VIEW" or "MOUNTAIN VIEW" add market value?  Is there anything more restful than a view of a moun...

WHY THE HOME OWNER WANTS THE HOME INSPECTOR TO IDENTIFY OIL LEAKS. This post inspired by an article by Jay Markanich about oil tank leaks.  Jay states:  "I think the Realtor doesn't like me." What difference does it make.  If that home inspection was in Virginia, you might have saved that home buyer a lot of money!!  It's not important for a Realtor to LIKE a home inspector.  It's important that the Realtor use the information contained in the inspection report to PROTECT THEIR BUYER/CLIENT'S INTEREST. QUESTION:  Who is responsible for contamination, cleaning up, damages caused by leaking oil tanks??? ANSWER:  THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY WHEN THE CONTAMINATION IS DISCOVERED!  THAT'S WHO. Why is inspection important?  Safety and Liability. 1.  If there is an inspection contingency in the C...

LOAN OFFICERS WHO TAKE APPLICATIONS FOR BUYERS THEY CAN'T HELP AND THE AGENT WHO OFTEN REFER TO THE BUYERS TO THEM. Inspired by Joe Petrowsky, “Referral from Big Box Bank Brings a Thank You for Him” It is truly unfortunate that many loan officers in my area fail to help home buyers for whom they cannot do a loan. Part of my advertising is appealing to First Time Home Buyers in Maryland and Virginia.  I love working with the first time buyers.  Further, I am familiar with the federal, state and county programs designed to assit first time home buyers with financing their purchase.  I get calls regularly from consumers already PRE-APPROVED for a loan on which they can't close.  Clearly, the buyers are candidates for some of the state/county programs for first time home buyers.  However th...

SEPTIC INSPECTIONS IN LOUDOUN COUNTY VIRGINIA.  By Lenn Harley IF YOU ARE A HOME OWNER IN LOUDOUN COUNTY VA WITH AN "ALTERNATIVE SEPTIC SYSTEM", you MUST have the system inspected every year.  Lououn County will send a letter advising you of the "ordinance" and the septic inspection company will report the results of the inspection of your system to the county. There are approximately 1600 properties with this type of on-site sewage disposal systems. What is this and who will perform the inspection for me?  As a Realtor selling new homes in Loudoun County, I made the acquaintance of McKim Construction when I sold a new home in the county some years ago.  McKim was the company that installed the systems for the builders.  Since that time, I've used their services for many years.  I recom...

LENN'S NEW ADVENTURE TOOK SOME THINKING.  Goodness, it's May and my grass is growing like a weed, or an acre of weeds.  What to do??? A disagreement with my grounds maintenance company left me with grass growing wildly in the back of my lot.  It's about an acre of gently sloping yard.  The disagreement?  The grounds maintenance company wanted a contract to perform 22 cuts throughout the growing season @ $200 per cut.  I've done the contract thing for 7 years now.  However, over the years, the company would show up to cut about once every 3 weeks or so, fine with me, until August when they started showing up about once every week.  Trouble is, the grass hardly grows during August, September and October.  Clearly, they were simply using the cuts in the contract and not cutting grass becau...
