belair real estate: Musings From Bel Air: I'm Starting To Take It Personally - 01/03/09 05:48 PM
I really am starting to take this all personally.
Did everyone I sold a property to in the last few years default on their mortgage?

I'm serious here. It's all too much for a girl to bear. I get a

belair real estate: How About That 6 Hour Home Inspection? - 12/31/08 10:56 AM
I'll preface this post by saying that I always advise my buyers to hire a home inspector and have a thorough inspection done on the property they've decided to purchase. Additionally, I always add,
"I wouldn't buy a house without getting an inspection done!".
Then, I give my buyers the contact info.

belair real estate: If You Are Renting, You Need To Read This. - 12/04/08 10:04 PM
Have you heard the one about the renters who paid their rent on time yet were thrown out of their home? There's got to be a catch, you're thinking. They had to be loud and unruly, maintaining a nuisance house? Parents of crazy teenagers? Owners of menacing pets that barked constantly

I had to write about this one today.

belair real estate: The Buyers Are Here! - 06/27/08 03:44 PM
In April, I talked about the fact that Buyers seemed to be very prevalent in the market place. They were no longer sitting on the fence and the deals they were getting were exceptional.
Well 2 months later, I'm still the town crier as I run around Bel Air, enthusiastically

belair real estate: I See Another Addendum Coming - 04/03/08 07:25 AM
I'm psychic -- my husband might say I'm psycho, but that's a whole different post.
I'm like, um, Carnac the Magnificent (am I dating myself, or what?) because I see yet another Addendum being added to our already overwhelming Residential Contract of Sale.
Let's see, we already have upwards of 30

So, how's the market?
I hear this question at least once a day and I'm happy to answer it each and every time.

belair real estate: The Tax Man Cometh - Part II - 01/24/08 10:22 AM
As I draft my appeal response to the ridiculously overinflated "Market Value" the state of Maryland just assessed for my house, I felt compelled to let you know that the HOMESTEAD TAX CREDIT process has changed.

On my way dropping off my youngest to pre-school earlier today, I noticed a neighbor setting up for the big night -- or should I say FRIGHT?.

belair real estate: It's All In My Head - 03/06/07 10:42 AM
It's amazing how much the mind is affected by the body and vice-versa. Although I don't consider myself an athlete, I workout every day. On those days that I miss a workout I'm sluggish and the sluggishness (is that a word?) permeates through my very being. Perhaps it's all in my

Death, Taxes, Moving...
As Realtors, we're often asked by our clients for the contact info of a "good moving company". I sure as hell wish I had one. Just when you think you've hit the jackpot and found a good one, they go and charge your sellers 3x the estimated amount.

belair real estate: More on BRAC in Harford County, Maryland - 02/04/07 12:17 PM
BRAC-Base Realignment And Closure-is a fancy way of saying the government established a committee and the committee filed a report to the Prez (in mid 2005) recommending the restructuring and/or closings of domestic military bases. As a result, many members of the military (and subsequent government employees) are going to be relocating all over
