A common thing that a lot of my clients want to be is close to the New York State Line on I-84. In most circumstances, if you are willing to commute an extra an 5 to 10 minutes in each direction, further into the Danbury, there can be significant savings.For example, a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath townhome at Kensington Woods, on Larson Drive, next to Exit 2 on I-84, close to the New York State Line, sold for $325,000. The same exact condo at Arlington Woods, located on Sienna Drive, near exit 8 on the east side of Danbury, sold for $275,000. The monthly payment by commuting a little bit further can is about $250 less on a 30 year mortgage. It should not cost you $250 a month in gas to commute an extra 10 minutes each way to work with the price of gas. On the other hand, you do need to think abou...

As a real estate professional, sometimes I have to tell prospective sellers it would be better in their situation to rent their primary home out opposed to selling it Some of the scenarios where it makes more sense to rent include:-You plan on being back to the home in a couple of years.-You can afford the payments on your home, but would have to bring a lot of money forward to sell your home at the fair market price & pay cover closing cots as sell.-You are not ‘happy’ with the current market price.-You recently did a lot of improvements to your home, and might not recover all the money that you put because of the market.-You like the idea of collecting a check every month (hopefully).-You need to move on with your home as soon as possible. In my experience, we usually get a renter fas...

There are many good reasons with landlords should use an agent to rent out their property in the Greater Danbury,CT area.-I will make any suggestions for any fixes or improvements to do on your property before listing.-I will go over recent rental activity in your neighborhood to help you determine proper pricing. Proper pricing is just as important in renting your home as it is when it is time to sell. The longer your property is empty, it is costing you money.-I will take numerous high quality photographs to be used in the marketing of your property and write custom ad copy that features the benefits on your property.-I advertise properties for rent pretty similar to the way I handle homes for sale.  Your property will be advertised on Realtor.Com, the MLS, WPSIR.com, Lisingbook, Trul...

One of the things that I suggest clients that are purchasing or selling  a single family home is to have a survey done. A survey helps shows the property boundaries,  verify the size of the land that house is on, shows any easements, shows what is specify on the property (driveway,house, outbuilding, trees,etc), verifies information on the deed, and helps you avoid any possible legal problems down the road.I have heard an instance where there was a stone wall in the very front of a house that most people would think was the property line between the house they were buying and the house in front of it. It turned out once the survey was the done, the neighbor’s property technically extended out about 10’ past the stone wall, in essence shrinking the front yard. The buyer was very upset an...

A building inspection should be used to identify things to identify things  are urgent matters that need to be fixed, potential safety issues down the road and learn how the systems of the house work. If there are serious issues with the house, I can understand why you can use that as a reason to walk away from the house. You can not use a building inspection as a negotiating tool to drop the price of the house substantially unless there are major items wrong with the house.  If you feel you are paying too much for the house, we can see what appraiser thinks that house is worth when they come out for the bank. I always have my offers contingent on satisfactory appraisal. For any things that needed attention, we can negotiate repairs by either having the owner fix them, have them drop th...

Buying and selling a home requires a lot of compromising. Not only do you have to agree to purchase or sell your home a price and terms,the other party has to agree it to too otherwise it won’t come together. Just because you want something, it doesn’t always mean that you are going to get it.Sometimes it can be difficult to come to a meeting of the minds and the transaction won’t come together for a matter of hundreds or couple of thousand dollars., or such a trivial item such as a washer & dryer. One of the most important things is to look at the big picture of what the move is, such as will an extra $10 a month on my mortgage kill my budget if you have to increase the offer $2000 otherwise the seller won’t sell you their home and if fixing items that are basic home maintenance projec...
