Problems with a wet foundation tend to run higher than other physical problems with a house. Damp or wet basements can be an extremely challenging problem to fix. Most basements are built into or partially into the ground. This can lead to the walls and flooring absorbing the moisture from outside, ultimately producing such problems as: water stains, cracks, odors, mold infestation, house dust mites, and etc. When buying a house it is highly recommended to hire an inspector to assess the structure of the house and give you a list problems and potential fixes that they can see wrong before buying the property.   Potential Causes Inadequate gutter system Improper lawn grading or landscaping Leaves or debris - may have clogged gutters or window wells Windows and Doors – Check for leaks and... 12/14/2011

Experiencing a theft, flood, fire, or other casualty loss can be devastating. Imagine trying to list from memory for your insurance claim every single item that was damaged or destroyed. The task will be less daunting if you create a home inventory in advance and keep it in a safe place. We turned to HouseLogic for some great ideas on this very topic. Having a digital camera and camcorder will make creating an inventory much easier. Set aside enough time to review your insurance policies, dig up receipts, document your possessions, and figure out where you’ll store your records. One day should be sufficient. The average home is packed with an array of items collected over the years. And while you may be able to list many of them in a pinch, chances are you’d miss some important possessi... 12/12/2011

Recent economic upheaval has taken a hefty toll. Looking forward to 2012, it’s impossible to know what’s next and the kind of an impact that an upturn or a downturn at the national level stands to have on your family’s finances. Regardless of what happens in Washington or on Wall Street, two things are very clear: you are not alone and now is the time to prepare for a new normal. With a national epidemic of unemployment or underemployment, and 25 percent of the homeowners in the country owing more on their home than they could net for it in today’s market, homeownership for many has become a financial liability. Not being able to make payments on a home that you can’t afford to sell feels like an awful trap, but the fact is, there are solutions—and foreclosing on your mortgage is not on... 12/06/2011

A Great Way to Sabotage Your Short Sale Listing Yesterday, I was showing houses in Silver Spring, and many of them were foreclosures or short sales.  And while I saw many things done in the presentations of some of these homes that I would do differently, there was one listing that stood out. Before showing the house, I called the listing agent.  His instructions were to just go and knock on the front door.  The people who lived there would let us in.  So I pulled up, parked the car and knocked on the door.  A very puzzled gentleman opened it to us suggesting that we must be at the wrong address.  This house, he said, was not for sale.  I double checked my MRIS print out, and sure enough, it showed his address and a picture of this very house.  It turned out to be tenant occupied, and t... 11/29/2011
