Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-New or Existing Homes?

2011-10-24T16:22:00.002-04:00

Considering selling your older home but are worried about competition from new homes, here’s something to think about.

There are tradeoffs in both directions. Older homes usually offer more living space for the dollar and are usually built on larger lots. Because developable land was more plentiful in earlier years, builders had a greater choice of where to build. Therefore, the location of a resale home ,ay be more desirable. Also, there is no guess work in action. Landscaping has matured, neighborhoods have formed and a buyer doesn’t have to be concerned about how the area will develop. It already has.

On the other hand, new homes may be more energy-efficient and require less repair and maintenance and have newer appliances.

How does your older home stack up against new offerings? Your best bet would be to have our office provide you with a current estimate of its market value.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-DO OFFERS HAVE PRECEDENCE?

2011-10-24T16:20:00.001-04:00

Good news! A written offer has come in on your property. Because offers must be presented immediately, you might even be notified while out of town. This is a good reason to keep your agent apprised of your whereabouts.

Most homeowners react by immediately asking how much the buyers are prepared to pay. However, if there are several minor provisions or a major one included in the offer, don’t be put off if the agent would prefer to set up a time and place to discuss the offer with you personally and explain the detail and financial elements. What may sound extremely good or bad over the phone may look a lot different when explained on paper.

If several offers come in, it’s best to consider all at the same time. The first one signed by the buyer does not have any precedence. If you have not acted on any offer, you are free to consider all of them and respond to whichever one you choose.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Comparables Count

2011-10-24T16:18:00.000-04:00

When you decide to sell your home, nothing, but nothing, is more important that the sales price you put on it. If you select the right agent, he or she will help you come up with the best marketing price. This is not done by looking into a crystal ball. The most important factor to consider is the price of comparable sales in your immediate area.

These are sales which have already been completed of homes as nearly like yours as possible.

The homes selected for comparison should be geographically near. No one factor determines value more surely than location. The sales should also be recent. Five-year-old sales have almost no meaning in today’s volatile financial market. Also, the homes should be similar in style, size, and condition as your property.

Don’t pay much attention to neighborhood scuttlebutt about selling prices. Sellers often exaggerate the amount received, and buyers often minimize the amount paid.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Shopping for Dollars

2011-07-18T13:02:00.000-04:00

Wouldn’t it be nice if home buyers could dip into a shoe box full of money and count out the purchase price in cash. Unfortunately, that dream has taken the route of other fairy tales. Today, 99% of all real estate purchases require mortgage.

When you look for mortgage money, there are several questions to ask besides, “what is the interest rate?” There’s a lot more to financing that interest. Get a complete estimate of all closing costs involved with your loan. Find out how long the interest rate will remain the same and when the escalator provision will kick in. Is there a limit on the rate of increase. Determine if there is a prepayment penalty. If there is, what are the provisions on the length of time and amount?. If you are using creative financing, make sure you know about any balloon payments that may be required in the future. Have your lender explain all provisions in advance to prevent any surprises later.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Neighborhood Important Factor

2011-07-18T12:56:00.000-04:00

Before you buy a house take a close look at the neighborhood. No matter how attractive the house may be, the neighborhood location is a primary importance from an investment point of view.
Look at the surrounding houses to see if they are well maintained. If there are large tracts of vacant land nearby, ask your Realtor to check with the local planning commission to find out what their future use may be. If you’re buying a house in an attractive residential neighborhood, any commercial development may have an impact on property values.
If you have children of school age, your Realtor can also help by providing information about the school system. Local Realtors are acutely aware of all local conditions that will affect homeowners in the market area. This is just one of the many professional services your Realtor can provide.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Listing Your Property

2011-07-18T12:52:00.000-04:00

There are three common ways to list your property for sale:
OPEN LISTING: The seller agrees to pay a commission if the agent finds a buyer who will meet the terms. The seller can also sell his own home or can have more than one agent sell it. Since the agent can lose the listing at the whim of the seller, don’t expect as much effort on the part of the agent.
EXCLUSIVE LISTING: The property will be sold through a specific office.
Knowing that a full commission will be paid (or half a commission if the sale is made in cooperation with another office) you can be sure of a concerted effort.
MULTIPLE LISTING: You contract with one office which agrees to distribute the listing to all the offices that belong to the local multiple listing service. Even though many office will work on your property, you pay only one commission. Multiple listing is a form of exclusive listing which assures the widest exposure of your property.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-House-Key and Lockbox

2011-05-18T09:37:00.002-04:00

How can your home, which is listed for sale, be shown when you are not home (which is probably the best time to show it)? The answer is to leave your key with the listing broker. It would only be used when you are not at home or on your special instructions. The lister will notify other brokers that the key is available and keep careful track of who borrows it. Otherwise, your home is effectively off the market for those periods.

In some areas, it is common to use lock boxes for properties whose owners are often absent. The lock box is a gadget attached to your door with your key inside. It can be opened by a special key carried by cooperating brokers and then it is a simple matter to show your house when you are not at home. While the lock box system works well, many prefer to limit its use to vacant houses. A lock box on a door has sold many a home because of the ease and the spontaneity it adds to house hunting.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Mortgage, Deed & Closing

2011-05-18T09:36:00.002-04:00

OK, Mr. Buyer, it’s time to close the house purchase. There will be two very important documents given to you --- the mortgage and the deed. As the buyer, you will be signing two papers for the mortgage. One is the bond (or note), which is a personal promise to pay back the debt. The other is the mortgage itself, which gives the lender a claim against your house if you do not pay back as agreed. Then the lender will give you a check (probably the largest you’ll ever see). You get to hold it
just long enough to endorse it and turn it over to the seller.

Actual transfer of the property takes place when the seller signs the deed and hands it over to the buyer. After the closing, someone will have the deed copied into the public records. It will probably be sent to you later. If no one is available to record the deed, talk to the county clerk and do it yourself --- immediately.

Recording the deed promptly is of utmost importance.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Never Too Old

2011-05-18T09:32:00.000-04:00

During the next ten years, senior citizens will account for more that 20% of our total national population. Not only are people living longer, they are living “younger” and healthier. That leads to the purchase of homes for older citizens with children. Will there be any problems in your getting a mortgage because of age?

Not if you pass the credit requirements of the bank. The law is on your side. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, or national origin. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits lenders from any type of bias in the areas of AGE, marital status, sex, income from public assistance programs. You, as a mortgage borrower, are well covered.

Your mortgage must be evaluated on the basis of the property desired and your creditworthiness --- not your age!

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Why Title Search Again?

2011-04-25T18:52:00.000-04:00

When you buy real estate, you may wonder why a title has to be searched when it was probably done many times before, especially if it’s an older home. If you are taking out a mortgage, the question is academic. The lender will require a title search to protect its investment. The search will attempt to answer the following question:

Is the seller the legal owner of the property?
Is the legal description of the property accurate?
Are there any municipal or contractor liens?
Does anyone else claim an ownership interest?
Are there any easements which could affect property?

The answers to these questions may not always be black and white. To cover gaps, many buyers find it comforting to protect their purchase with title insurance. Title insurance offers protection against court costs and judgments resulting from title defects.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Why Sell Through An Expert?

2011-04-25T18:49:00.000-04:00

Human nature is strange. It is surprising to see some people trying to sell their home, probably their largest life time investment, without the help of an expert --- a Realtor.

For the average homeowner, selling his home is one job that he should never tackle on this own. One mistake could turn out to be extremely costly. For starters, you must have considerable knowledge regarding value. How much do you want for your house? How much do you think its worth? How much will a buyer pay? Three different questions with different answers. If you overprice it, your for sale sign could stay planted in your yard like an ancient oak tree. On the other hand, you might under price and give it away.

Today, the seller must be knowledgeable in the intricacies of financing. If you aren’t familiar with these --- don’t try to sell on your own. Employ the professional experience of a Realtor. It must make sense because some 90% of home are sold that way.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-When to List Your House

2011-04-25T18:45:00.003-04:00

The most favorable time to list a house for sale is as soon as you have decided to sell. Six months before the expected move is almost a minimum for best results. Otherwise, you might end up paying on two houses at once for a few months after you move. Even if satisfactory buyers for your home appear promptly, the complicated paperwork involved in mortgage applications, and the dovetailing of your needs and the buyer’s needs, can result in problems if you are pressed for time. If your house is not sold by the time you must leave, keep in mind that a vacant house almost never shows as well as it did with your furniture in place.

Houses have been known to be transferred in a few weeks but this is the exception. It’s best to allow 3 to 6 months where possible. You are most likely to receive the highest price if you draw from the largest pool of possible buyers. An unhurried sale is the best way to accomplish this.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Don't Be Turned Off So Fast

2011-01-15T13:03:00.000-05:00

If you’re looking for a good buy in an older home, and see one in which the housekeeping leaves something to be desired, don’t be turned off immediately. Look beyond the mess. Don’t let your first impression deter you from the IMPORTANT features of a house.

For example, the structure of the house and the general layout may be in excellent condition, easily convertible to your own ideas of decorating and family living. The kitchen may be cluttered and unkempt, but large and well appointed with cabinets, pantry, and other features. A worn and dirty carpet in the living room may be covering a beautiful hardwood floor that you can make sparkle again. Also carpet can be cleaned or replaced.

It takes a good visual imagination to see how a house can be transformed to meet your own ideas of decorating. If the house is sound and has the features you want, you may find that the poor housekeeping will work to your price advantage.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Pre-Sale Seller Homework

2010-12-17T08:38:00.002-05:00

Wouldn’t it be nice if selling a house was like selling a watermelon? Here’s the melon – here’s the money. Couldn’t be simpler. Then there’s real estate. Intricate and complicated financial steps must be taken by Realtor’s who know their business to put together a binding sale in today’s unique mortgage market. Often, it is this financial acumen that is the deciding factor in completing a successful sale of property.

You, as the seller can help even before the for-sale sign goes up. Check with one or more local banks (especially the one that holds your mortgage). Determine from the loan officer the size of the mortgage loan that might be available to a family with a good credit rating. It’s a question that’s sure to be asked sooner or later.

While doing the checking, consider the possibility, if your finances permit, of accepting a second mortgage should a buyer with acceptable credit be unable to raise all the required down payment.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Checking at Different Hours

2010-12-17T08:38:00.001-05:00

The location of a home is a prime factor in any buying decision. If you’ve got your eye on a certain one, you’ve probably seen it many times. However, with an investment of that size, there are many things that should be checked and re-checked.

What time of day or night did you visit your prospective home? Was it always at about the same hour--- at, say, 3pm? If that’s the case, we suggest that you make a point of going there at other times such as early evening, late at night, and even very early in the morning! The reason is simple. Things might go on around there at those other times that may affect you when you’re living there. There may be noises, for example, late at night that could interfere with your family’s sleeping.

When you buy a home, you’ll be there around the clock. Therefore you should see what the place is like around the clock. This could save you much grief later on, when it may be too late.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Think Like a Buyer

2010-12-17T08:37:00.000-05:00

People usually decide within a few minutes whether they like your house. Prospects start forming their opinion before they even walk in your front door. So, Mr. Seller, ask yourself if your house is presentable as it can be for a faster sale at the best price.

The best way to fins out is to imagine that YOU are a prospective buyer. You’ve probably been looking at other homes (especially if yours is already for sale), so approach your present home the way you look at other houses.

Get in your car and drive up to your home the way a prospective buyer would. Give the outside an once-over. Check the lawn, the shrubs, and the paint. Would some flowers by the front door be more inviting? Step inside. Is the living room cluttered?

Are the rooms dark or well lit? Does the condition of the kitchen turn you off? Just remember your own reactions when you inspected other homes. If you want to be a seller --- think like a buyer!

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Holes in the Attic

2010-11-18T15:26:00.001-05:00

Holes in the attic are like holes in your pocket. Step into your attic some winter night. Even if it is insulated at floor level, you may be surprised to find it much warmer than the outside air. That means that some of the expensive heat you need downstairs has escaped up there where it won’t do any good.

It is common to find large openings where pipes, ducts, or exhaust fans are cut through the attic floor. But they can be stuffed with foil-backed insulation. Stopping attic by-passes can save from $25 to $100 a year in heating costs. Many people forget the attic door after they have carefully applied insulation to the rest of the attic. The door should be covered with a batt of foil-backed insulation and the edges of the door weather stripped.

Some no-no’s. Do not cover light fixtures directly with insulation as they may cause a fire and if you fill the opening around a chimney or furnace stack, be sure to use fireproof insulation.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-New or Old

2010-11-18T15:25:00.001-05:00

If you are in the market to buy a home but haven’t made up your mind whether it will be a new or an existing one, you should let your Realtor help you weigh the merits of each. For instance, you will probably find a wider selection of older homes for sale.

Also, when you compare living space, location, construction materials, and other factors, you may be getting more for your money if you buy an older home.

Older homes tend to be closer to established shopping areas, churches, and other neighborhood attractions. Homes in established neighborhoods also have a more “settled” look, with mature trees and shrubbery. On the other hand, new houses have obvious advantages, too.

When you deal with an experienced Real Estate broker, however, you have already made one of the most important decisions long before you find the house you want to buy.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Price Negotiations

2010-11-18T15:24:00.000-05:00

Let’s face it selling a home is not unlike selling any other negotiable product. Both buyers and sellers expect a little leeway on the final selling price. Often, the house will be sold for somewhat less than the asking price. On the other hand, in today’s strange real estate market, there are houses that are such good buys in good locations that
sell for MORE that the asking price. A lot depends on the reason the seller is selling. If the house has to be sold quickly owners may accept a lower offer to make a fast sale.

Another consideration is the condition of the house. If major repairs are needed,
an owner may be persuaded to reduce the price to pay for the repairs.

Legitimate buyers will normally make an offer within a reasonable negotiating range. Never make an insultingly low offer. If the house is at a fair market price and you don’t want to lose it, don’t play games.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Figuring Monthly Payment

2010-09-22T16:40:00.001-04:00

ou have enough funds for the down payment and you qualify for the mortgage. Now --- can you afford the monthly payments?

To figure out how much you can carry, convert all amounts into monthly figures. If you are paid twice a month, add two paychecks. Incorporate infrequent expenses (vacations, gifts, clothes) by adding them up and dividing by 12. Your total monthly income may include salary interest, dividends, and bonuses. Typical monthly expenses are food, utilities, education, transportation, taxes, insurance payments, etc. Your total monthly income minus monthly expenses will give you the amount available for monthly housing costs.

This total must cover all of your housing expenses, including mortgage payments (principal+interest+taxes+insurance), maintenance and repairs. The higher the down payment and the longer repayment time, the lower the monthly payment will be.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Finance Contingency Clause

2010-09-22T16:38:00.001-04:00

How can you be sure you can get the necessary financing before going ahead with a home purchase. The answer is a contingent offer. Financial contingencies are common negotiations.

For example, you can agree to purchase the house you want contingent upon your obtaining a specified amount of financing. Naturally, the seller must agree to this contingency.

You will be asked to meet the terms of the contingency or eliminate it within a period of time. For instance, the seller may grant you thirty days to obtain a mortgage commitment. In the event you can’t obtain mortgage commitment, the contingency may require you to decide between purchasing the property for cash or voiding the transaction.

When a purchase agreement contains a mortgage contingency clause, the seller will often grant an additional period of time to close the transaction once the buyer obtains financing commitment.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-If You Can't Pay Mortgage?

2010-09-22T16:36:00.001-04:00

If the breadwinner is temporarily unemployed, it is possible that you may not be able to make the mortgage payment.

The likelihood that you will experience foreclosure, however, is rather remote. Your bank’s business is money and not houses. Your banker wants cash coming in not an inventory of real estate that keeps accruing taxes and maintenance expenses.

Don’t wait until you are truly desperate before talking with your lender. If you explain your circumstances and if he sees any chance at all that you will get back on your feet again --- he will probably be inclined toward leniency. He may extend foreclosure time, or even allow you to defer 2, 3 or even more payments and then go to partial payments or even interest-only payments for a decent period of time. If you need a mortgage lender’s understanding help, you’ll ask him for it. Don’t just slide into delinquency and count on sympathy when you get there.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Importance of a Realtor

2010-09-22T16:34:00.001-04:00

Essentially, three people are involved in a basic real estate transaction --- the seller, the Realtor, and the buyer. If one were to be singled out as the “key” person, it would be the Realtor.

The Realtor prepares the agreement of sale (the contract). The responsibility in doing this is much greater than many people realize. When making up the contract, the Realtor helps make decisions regarding the obligations and rights of the buyer and seller.

Although the Realtor is the agent of the seller, he or she must keep the protection of the buyer in mind. If the contract is not drawn up properly, there could be trouble --- expensive trouble! The Realtor, in a sense, makes the law that the seller and buyer have to follow. Therefore, the wording must be clear and understandable without any allowances for ambiguous statements.

Many consider the agreement of sale more important that the deed, because it determines what goes INTO the deed.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Improving Quality of Life

2010-07-20T07:58:00.002-04:00

Whether you live in an apartment or in a house that no longer meets your needs, buying an affordable new house can improve your quality of life. Home ownership has many advantages, not only in the sense of privacy and security it can give you. It also has the tangible advantages of more and better living space in a community where you and your family will enjoy living.

If you’ve been domiciled in an apartment, you will find living in a house of your own, in a neighborhood of private homes, a refreshing change. There will be fewer people, less congestion, less traffic, and less noise.

Home ownership also improves your credit rating. Owning your own home is considered a sign of financial stability. It represents an investment that continues to grow each year. If you’re in the market for a house, why not call us for an appointment so we can show you what we have to offer.

The best investment you can make is the roof over your head. Not only does Uncle Sam subsidize your investment with fantastic tax breaks, but you can invariably count on a gratifying profit when it comes time to sell. In recent years, some of those gains have been spectacular.

How does the government subsidize the home buyer? First, you might be able to get a federally backed mortgage through the FHA or VA. Even if yours is a conventional mortgage, you get the biggest tax break of all. Uncle Sam says the interest you pay on the loan is tax deductible. This can be huge deductions. For the first seven years you own your home, over 90% of your monthly payments amount to interest. When you sell after two years, there is no capital gains tax on the first $500,000 profit from the sale.

If you don’t own a home --- even a vacation home or condo --- you are missing out on a fantastic investment.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Why Income Property?

2010-05-26T09:32:00.002-04:00

QUESTION: You have often alluded to advantages of owning income-producing property. Could you put them all in a nutshell here so I can show it to my wife who holds the purse strings.

ANSWER: There is no better time to loosen the purse strings (if you have extra cash put aside) than investing in a good income-producing property. Here are a few reasons why: It is an excellent hedge against inflation. Real estate values always outpace rising prices in other categories. You employ leverage which allows you to acquire property with a minimum amount of your own money and lot of other people’s money. You enjoy a higher cash flow than in other investments and enjoy the profits you earn by paying lower taxes on such income. You provide a tax shelter which allows you to pay less taxes on other income you may earn. You have the flexibility to refinance when the value increases and take out large sums, tax free.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Goodbye, Children!

2010-05-26T09:23:00.000-04:00

When the children move out of the nest, the parents eventually have three options: Stay in the home, trade up to something better or move to a small, less expensive condo or retirement home.

The household income of many older working couples may be much higher than it was when they began their careers. So they may be planning to move up—if not to a bigger home, then one with more amenities. If so, they may be better equipped than a younger couple to handle the increased payments, of a 15 year fixed-rate mortgage.

On the other hand, they may be interested in buying something smaller for retirement. They may want the security of living in their home free from mortgage obligations. In such a case, they may prefer to pay cash from the sale of their existing home.

Current tax laws allow an exemption from taxes on profits of up to $500,000 from the sale of a home. This may help make some options more achievable.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Take Nothing for Granted

2010-03-26T17:23:00.000-04:00

The old adage “know what you’re buying” is particularly true when applied to the major and complex business of buying a house. Don’t take even the smallest detail for granted. Have it stipulated in writing. Buying from a builder? What exactly is the builder going to supply and install? Remember that a display home may have extras not included in the standard model. When you’re buying a resale house get a written list of what is to remain as part of the deal.
It might help—to make sure the transaction is fully clarified—to have a separate itemized list describing what the purchase price includes attached to your offer to purchase a property. The list of extras should specify whether each item is to be the original or a substitution.
Look beyond the usual extras such as carpeting, draperies, light fixtures and appliances to less obvious items such as clotheslines, shower curtains, storm windows, screen doors and garden tools.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Co-Signing Serious Business

2010-03-26T17:21:00.002-04:00

A young couple wants to buy their first home. They both work, make good incomes and have enough money saved for the down payment. The problem is that they don’t have enough combined annual income to qualify for the home they want in the location they want. So, they ask their parents to co-sign a mortgage. In effect, they want to use their parents’ credit and income to qualify for the loan.

Parents should be advised that co-signing a mortgage is not a casual event. If the loan is defaulted, the co-signers are fully liable for the debt. So, it’s a matter of trust and faith in the young couple. This is a decision only the parents can make.

Even with a parental co-signer, first time buyers may be required to put up 5 or 10 percent of the purchase price with their own money. Some lenders also insist that the loan co-signers also appear as co-owners. This can lead to significant issues which require legal advise, a written agreement, and a will for each co-owner.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Choosing a Home Mortgage

2010-03-26T17:18:00.002-04:00

One of the most important ingredients in the process of buying a home is choosing the right home mortgage. Everyone’s situation and needs are different, and careful selection and planning with the right type of loan can mean a lot in dollars saved.

The traditional 30-year fixed-rate loan gives the borrower peace of mind and stability of payments offer lower starting rates and can mean that the buyer can afford higher-priced home than with a fixed rate mortgage.

Government loans such as those offered by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Veterans Administration (VA) can also assist those with a small down-payment who qualify for these types of financing with fixed rates that are below the current market.

We often can refer clients to lenders who can explain the options and help buyers get the best mortgage for their needs. We are proud of our record in helping to obtain excellent financing for our clients.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Seller Anxiety

2010-03-13T19:12:00.001-05:00

If you’re suffering from anxiety or apoplexy at the prospect of selling your house for a lower price than you could have received a few years ago, ask yourself this: Are you making a profit, considering the price you paid for your house? If you aren’t making a profit, perhaps because you bought your house only a few years ago, ask yourself this question. Are you going to buy another house at a bargain price—one that will more than make up for your loss?
If you’re not making a profit and you’re not buying a bargain house (maybe you plan to retire to a second house you already own), the question is: Which is more important to you, a little extra money, a little less money, or living the life you want to live?
The shrewdest stock investors sell too soon and buy too late. Sounds crazy, but it’s not. They are content with consistent and safe, albeit smaller profits. They don’t always try for home-runs. They know that home-run hitters strike out a lot.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Doors, Windows, & Energy

2010-02-19T09:53:00.001-05:00

Windows and doors can be a big source of energy loss if they’re not properly treated. If you are looking to buy with an energy-efficiency eye, consider the following:

Are the casings wood or metal? Because of their conductivity, metal window casings are less energy efficient than wood unless there’s a thermal break between the two layers of metal.

Are the windows single, double or triple-glazed for better protection from radiant heat?

Are there storm doors or weather entries that buffer heat or cold?

Is there a lot of glass on or near the southern and western exposure? This could lead to higher cooling bills in the summer

Are cracks and crevices around the windows and doors sealed and is there weather stripping? Weather stripping is easy to see.

These items may seem minor, but could save you future monthly expenses.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Check Out Cheap Repairs

2010-02-19T09:49:00.000-05:00

Your home needs a new roof. You have two estimates: one from a professional contractor for $1,800 and the other from two guys down the street who will do the job for only $800. Before making your decision, you should ask yourself the following:

Are both bidding on the same job? Is the higher bid contractor intending to remove one or more layers of old shingles while the part-timers intend to just cover all the existing shingles? Is the high bidder adding insulation and weatherproof backing papers while the low balers aren’t? Is the high bidder using a higher grade shingle offering better wear and fire protection? Is the high bidder willing to guarantee the work while the “guys” are “just doing the best we can?”

Also, consider your liability. Roofing is not a job for amateurs. You must be sure that anyone working on your roof, professional or amateur, carry adequate liability insurance in case of accident. When two estimates vary greatly ---- always investigate more closely.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Right Offer May be the First One

2010-02-19T09:46:00.000-05:00

Once you put real estate on the market, you have to make up your mind to move when the right offer comes. Your asking price should come pretty close to your selling price if you have priced your property realistically.
The right offer may be your first offer, and if you turn it down, you may never get another as good.
However, the offer should be a written one—the only kind that has any real significance and on which you can depend.
Just remember that a legitimate offer should be accompanied by a good-sized check depending on the selling price. Never accept a verbal promise and take your property off the market. The next day, a good sale may be lost if you are tied up in this type of questionable transaction. You’ll never have to worry about this situation arising if the sale of your property is in the hands of a Realtor.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Counter Offers

2010-01-25T07:37:00.002-05:00

As a home buyer, you have made an offer to the seller which was much lower than the asking price. If the seller has countered the offer you made, you are now in the same position the seller was in when he received your offer. As the Indians say, “you are now walking in his moccasins.”
You may accept, counter, or reject the counter offer. The seller will give a prescribed amount of time to respond. If you accept the counter offer then you have agreed to buy the home on the new counter offer terms. If you decide to counter back, then you are again making an offer back to the seller as you previously did.
A word of caution: there is a point of diminishing return reached very quickly when too many counter offers are shot back and forth. Primarily due to exasperation and the fact that the process is so emotional for both, more than one or two counter offers generally result in a failed attempt to reach an agreement.
The Rich Company will gladly assist you with your real estate needs.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-What Selling Price?

2010-01-25T07:26:00.003-05:00

When it comes time to sell your home, you will undoubtedly ask: “What selling price would you recommend”? At this point, the Realtor will walk through the home and grounds, perhaps, ask a few other office colleagues to give their opinion and come to a consensus. This is part of the service offered by real estate agencies and it is a vital one.
There is nothing --- but nothing --- more important in the marketing process than placing the right selling price on a home. However, caution is warranted. A home valuation is a verbal opinion of value. It should not be mistaken for a real estate appraisal which can involve considerable time investment both on-site and in the office. An appraisal is a fee-paid service by an appraisal specialist which may be required for insurance, estate of other legal matters.
Frankly, a good home valuation by an experienced agency like ours is all that you’ll probably require before putting your home on the market. We know the local market and what price will SELL!

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Become Invisible

2009-11-21T07:28:00.003-05:00

The best thing to do when your Realtor arrives to show your home is become the “invisible” person. I’ve had sellers meet me at the door and lead us (me and my prospects) through the house. The buyers’ immediate response is to tense up. The subtle signs which I watch and listen for disappear. These people cease to be buyers and become “uninvited quests” peering into private corners of the home. They are reacting to the host rather than the house.

You see, where you live is an intimate part of your life. If the owner is around when the prospect arrives, he becomes a quest in your home. The key word here is YOUR. Our objective is to make him feel that it is HIS home. The owner’s presence makes that difficult.

He can’t comment about things he doesn’t like. That would be rude. Yet, a sure sign of interest is petty fault-finding --- even with a perfect property. The Realtor will then help weigh the pros and the cons. This can’t come about with the owner as part of the group.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Simple Projects that Help Sell

2009-11-21T07:25:00.003-05:00

Here are some simple projects which might be undertaken with an eye
toward selling your home:

Paint or refinish the front door and place a potted flowering plant against or near it. Wire brush wrought iron railings. Prime and finish in rustoleum. This is part of that all-important first impression. Repair any leaking faucets or any that are hard to shut off. Check for smooth functioning of all toilets. Check all window and porch screens to make sure all are sound. Replace any cracked glass. The hinges of any pull-down attic steps should be oiled so they don’t make an embarrassing noise. Pour sealer into any driveway cracks. Fill and sod places where cars have worn away grass beside street or driveway. Top dress any gravel drive, or turn about with fresh stone. Check to see if any vinyl flooring should be replaced. Selective floor finishing might be a good idea, especially in high-traffic areas.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Selling a Condo

2009-11-21T07:19:00.000-05:00

Time and families grow, and many condo owners are now ready to trade up to the single-family home. If you are such a condo owner and are concerned about finding a ready pool of buyers for a fairly priced unit in a well run complex—don’t be concerned. This is a large segment of the real estate market and the buyers are there.
The mechanics of selling a condo are not all that different from selling other types of real estate. Your agent should have copies of the master deed, rules, regulations and agreements which spell out each owner’s rights, limitations and responsibilities and be familiar enough with them to answer questions from prospective buyers.
Your agent should be familiar with marketing strategies geared to young buyers and empty nesters as well as the requirements of area lenders who’ll finance the acquisition. In addition, your agent should be able to reference prices of other comparable units in order to help you set a realistic asking price.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Renovate or Sell "As Is"

2009-10-10T18:29:00.001-04:00

Say you’ve lived in your home for some 20 or 30 years. You are now ready to retire, sell and move to something smaller. However, something happened in the past 20 or 30 years. Home designs and buyers’ taste have changed but your kitchen, bathrooms and perhaps heating and plumbing systems have not. To get full price for your home, you would have to make a major investment and massive renovations or perhaps, sell “as is” for a lower price.
Before you make that decision, you or your agent should compare the market advantages of selling the home “as-is” versus partially or completely rehabbed.
If you are not in a position financially or don’t relish the thought of being inconvenienced, you may actually be in a pretty good selling situation. You may come out money ahead by selling at a lower price for your location after you compare the final selling price against the emotional and dollar cost of improving.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Final Walk-Through

2009-10-10T18:21:00.001-04:00

Prior to settlement, buyers are entitled to walk through the property. As a purchaser, you want nothing more than to assure that the property is being delivered in the condition promised by the seller. If the property is to be “broom clean” the house should be entirely devoid of trash and old furniture. If an old car was to be removed from the yard, it should be gone. If the appliances worked when the contract was ratified, they should work now.

With new property, you’ll want to walk through with the builder’s representative and your inspector. Items that are incomplete, or not done at all should bec marked on the builder’s “punch list”. Naturally, a duplicate buyer’s list should be maintained.

Buyers should insist that all seller obligations are satisfied and if they are not satisfied, buyers could then demand suitable compensation. For instance, if a repair is not made, than an amount from the seller should be placed in escrow to assure completion.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-The Moving Date

2009-09-28T11:14:00.001-04:00

Whether you plan to buy or sell, there will be a household move in store. You and your van line representative should agree on what date or (between what dates) your shipment is to be picked up, and what date (or between what dates) it is to be delivered to the new address. The first and last few days of each month are generally the heaviest for the moving companies. Avoiding these days can make your move go much more smoothly.
If you moving plans are flexible, however, keep in mind that summer is the peak moving season. The availability of moving equipment and personnel during “off peak” times can allow the move to be tailored more precisely to your specific requirements.
If your move must be made in the summertime, schedule as far advance as possible to avoid delays in pickup and delivery. It is generally not a good idea to agree to have your shipment picked up “as soon as possible.” The dates should be definite.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Pruning & Weaning

2009-09-28T11:13:00.000-04:00

Many are the buyers who purchase a wonderful view, with a house that goes along with it. Or, surround themselves in a sense of history and live in a particular home (perhaps too small, ornate or too simple) in order to do so. As a buyer, it is most likely that you, too have your preferences in style, shape, size, layout, construction and general appearance of your “dream home”. It is likely you could reject a lot of listings because they are “too something or other,” wasting a lot of time and effort and making an otherwise pleasurable job of home seeking into a very stressful situation.
You can avoid much of this stress and conserve vast amounts of time and effort if you will share your various housing preferences with your real estate agent. Let the agent do the pruning and weaning of undesirable properties. Insist that you are shown only those listings that meet certain criteria that you have preselected and preannounced.
