In Connecticut, when selling a home you do not have to disclose that you have ... people living with you that don't pay rent, people who walk through walls, move things on you, wailing in the middle of the night, shaking the bed... in other words, ghosts. Nope, the seller doesn't have to disclose the fact their house is haunted, not here in Connecticut. If a buyer is concerned that there is a ghost in residence they can write a letter to the seller asking if anyone other worldly beings live in the house. The seller is not required to answer … (13 comments)

real estate: We have a cash offer for you!
- 01/27/12 08:59 AM
Then show me the money! If you are going to put in a cash offer for a property, you will have to prove you have the money to back up the offer! Here in Litchfield County, CT we do often see cash offers. I have heard some agents say they won't ask their clients for proof of funds. They say the client will get offended, will refuse, it is not necessary, etc. Me? I disagree with that train of thought. I don't know about anyone else, but I have no idea how much cash someone has available because of who they … (13 comments)

- 12/13/11 11:51 PM
The alarm system conundrum. To give out the code or not give out the code, that is the question.
I have one opinion on this conundrum, and one opinion only. Do not give out the code. I don't care if you have been an agent forever, if you have a halo, I am not giving you the code! I don't want the code when I show a house, I don't want the responsibility of trying to find the control panel and get the right code in without setting off the alarm. When faced with a house alarm I get all … (98 comments)

real estate: As Is is not always as it is!
- 11/08/11 07:26 AM
New Milford, CT real estate talk. What does "As Is" really mean? As a real estate professional in the greater New Milford, CT area, I do come across the term "as is" many times. "As is" means something different to each party, let me explain.
Selling your home "as is". Sometimes while listing a house the seller will tell me they want to sell the house "as is". I caution them that if we put "as is" in the listing it will send up a big red flag to the buyer and buyers agent.
