   New listings, multiple showings, and promises of offers are not for an amateur.  Sizing up seven showings,Sizing up the agent,  sizing up the buyer, and sizing up the motivation of both is crucial. There are some smooth talkers. Are you listening? Who has requested disclosures? Who has verbally "convinced" you of an imminent forthcoming offer. How you handle the "Do you already have offers." "When are you presenting contracts." "We'll have our offer in before 10 pm." "My buyers love the house already lost another" "Our terms will be cash, non-contingent, with $200K EMD, and flexible dates for the seller to vacate.'' Sounds wonderful.  Remember, in Real Estate, if not in writing, not signed and initialed by all ...it is NOT a contract. Please don't be naive, don't count your chickens ...

 It's not a typical Baltimore County home.Oh, it's pretty enough from the outside, a brick rancher with a double driveway.  But then you enter into a Jay Jenkin's designed interior.   Mid Century Modern Design. Great use of space and space planning. A bright, gourmet custom kitchen makes use of every inch: Viking gas cooktop, double ovens plus a warming drawer, granite counters, and backsplash.   A disappearing sliding glass wall opens into the curved wall Sunroom addition with a second kitchen and room for a hot tub. Sixteen-foot ceiling with seven skylights and half penny tile flooring... this is a terrific space!  Originally four-bedrooms, now three since the master is a two-room suite with a luxury marble bath, heated floors, and walk-in dressing room and closet.   A dream lower lev...

They do this in resort towns and for vacation homes. But not so much with traditional sales. So what is it they do?  They sell their homes furnished, turn-key, move-in ready.  Bring your clothes, toothbrush and start living. You know, kind of like renting a home when vacationing. But who does that? We all are so attached to our stuff. Just for fun,  Google 'George Carlin Stuff.'   You have spent years and years of looking for the right items just perfect for your home. Now it's time to sell. Are you going to try and fit those same items, all custom pieces for this home, into your new home? What if you sold it furnished? Think about the many ways of saving. Not just in your monetary costs, but also time, convenience, physical and emotional!  - Save the significant packing and get out the...

   There are times when showing a home, and the buyers are only concerned about their existing furniture being a perfect fit in the new home. They walk through the house with a tape measure and a list of their belonging.  The question' will this fit' is repeated in each room.Here's something for you to ponder. You've lived in your home for many years. Furnished just the way you like, the right pieces for all the right spaces. Now it's time to move to a new home. It could be out of state. It could be from the big house to a big condo or townhouse. It could be a condo to a  bigger new home etc. There is a frenzy' will it fit in my new space,' can't buy that house because our custom furnishing is too bulky, too tall, or won't make it up the stairs. You are now purchasing a home, not for yo...

 Time To Write A Blog  When do you write yours?      Many members have a pattern or routine. Some write first thing in the morning or write specific posts on certain days. Some write a full week's maximum and post them all at once.Some write a lot of posts and keep them in a draft. Others write various back-up posts.  Some members write on "the fly" using voice recognition, iPad, or iPhone. Some start lots of different posts, put them in the draft, and never go back to them.My preference is to write after work when the phones are not ringing, and there are fewer distractions.I never seem to have a shortage of ideas. These ideas come from an experience during the day, an email, a question, or a photo captured on my iPhone.Writing and posting at night allows me to start my morning by read...

   When buying a home "as is" know what you are doing. In our Maryland contract, there are two choices -0ne "as is" without inspections or contingencies regarding condition.     The other is ''as is'' with the right to withdraw after inspections within a period, usually ten days. This timing gives the buyer a chance to do an inspection and bring in various contractors to evaluate and provide estimates. The problem is when a general home inspector then suggests having licensed contractors evaluate.  It might be a roofer, HVAC, electrician, structural engineer, plumber, etc. and before you know it, that ten-day period passed. If you are planning to purchase "as-is," line up your contractors all at one time, address your concerns upfront. Schedule your professionals all on one day with a 3...

 There have been challenges for those in the real estate industry for the last few months! And yet buyers are buying, sellers are selling, and agents are closing deals. Home inspections, appraisals, termite, well yields, septic inspections, surveys, and the title work is all getting done. Negotiations are taking place. We are busy, and our industry is moving forward. We are doing buyer consultations and listing presentations, and we are doing them safely. We have the technology already. Now we have to make better use of it. Today I did an open house by going early and unlocking the property,  opened all doors including closets and turned on ceiling fans, lights and made sure the temperature gauge was cool enough. Signage on my car, on the street, and an announcement on ALL ABOUT REAL ES...
