There are a few things that home owners in the Greater Danbury are have to consider when setting the sales price for their home. Condition: The condition of your home should be reflected in the pricing. If other homes have been updated and yours reflects much of the original construction but things are working, you can not expect buyers to pay as much for your home as your neighbors have gotten. In the contrary,we have to be careful about taking price plan if your home is the largest or most improved. Motivation:If you want sell quickly I would go the lower end of the comps based on your homes  condition and hold pretty firm when it goes to negotiating any offers. If you are in not much of a hurry, we can go toward the higher end of the market but if the feedback isn't what we hope for,... 01/07/2019

It is possible to purchase homes from a long distance these days. You can view homes' without physically stepping through the front door of your home until the walkthrough before closing if not later.  With technology available these days, it be can done by using tools such as face-time,skype, zoom electronic meeting, recording movies and sending multiple photos.

I would highly recommend home sellers meet with their chosen real estate professional prior to investing to sell or remodeling for their own use.

As a homeowner, it can be a unsettling after seeing many different homes in the area, getting an offer accepted & then getting through the home inspection process. It is common to have to perspective home buyers hire an inspector to guide them through the home from the foundation to the roof. They will not only explain what is right with the house, how things work, what should you budget for to fix down the road and what should be corrected sooner than later. In my experience,most sellers should be willing to work with the buyer on major health and saferty issues only.  Items in this category would include electrical, septic repairs, furnace, radon & water-these are things that are not visible to the average buyer when touring that the house. Most sellers typically do not want to hear a... 12/06/2018

It is important to take your time when looking for a new address. I prefer my clients to view several homes, before even thinking about making an offer. It is my job to educate you on the market and to introduce clients to all homes potentially meeting their wish list. Usually that means, seeing about 10-15 properties if they know what town or neighborhood you want to want to live before going forth a offer.

Any negotiated repairs are agreed to and then added into the formal contract. Buyers can sign the contract with the provision of the repairs being done before closing. The repairs are not typically done right after the contract, as sellers need to time arrangements with their contractor.  Prior to closing, the sellers are to provide a 'paid in full' receipt from their contractor and the buyer will see that the work has been done at the final walk-through due to their satisfaction.If the seller does not do the work that was agreed into in the contract, then the attorneys have to speak about what to do. I have never had a home seller not do any of the work that was negotiated into the contract.  If the failure to comply, the attorneys might have to ask for the seller to escrow the cost to... 11/17/2018
