homes belair: Quick Note to Bel Air Sellers: Don't Believe the Hype! - 11/08/08 09:26 PM
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Home Seller,
If you've been following my posts, you should be up on what's going on in Bel Air, real estate-wise.
And if you haven't been following my posts, well, shame on you!
Don't believe the hype that's so prevalent in "The News". Homes are selling and will continue to sell. Why? Because people need shelter and will continue to need shelter. Been that way since, well, since forever.
That's just a given.
So, to quickly synopsize --
Yes, it's a Buyers' Market. Absolutely, homes are selling in Bel Air and surrounds. That's correct, over $5 mil … (6 comments)

homes belair: He Who Hesitates... - 11/01/08 12:22 AM
...loses the bid and loses the property.
I guess "the market" is picking up in my neck of the woods. It's been 2 weeks and I've written 3 different offers for three different buyers. As the saying goes, "third time's the charm", but that has not been the case here in beautiful Bel Air and surrounds. You see, each of my aforementioned 3 buyers were, how should I put it, a day late and a dollar short. None of the 3 buyers' offers were accepted because another buyer (or three) beat us to the punch.
He who hesitates loses.
So, If you're currently … (12 comments)

homes belair: Buyer Tip: Bring Certified Funds to Your Closing - 10/06/08 10:53 AM
The MAR (Maryland Association of Realtors) recently updated its Residential Contract of sale and I've already gone awry; the revised contract was effective October 1st and I've had to re-write a couple that were in process.
Although there were several notable changes, one item remained the same. It's on the very first page, regarding the balance of the sales price (minus deposit(s)) being paid at the settlement table by means of certified check, wired funds, bank funds, or just plain ole cash. I'm paraphrasing.
Interesting that this one is clearly stated and unchanged. Perhaps others have experienced a buyer arriving at the closing table without … (1 comments)

homes belair: Bel Air, MD REO Market Report? - 10/05/08 05:14 PM
Is there a rule that I don't know about regarding marketing REOs?
I have not seen one REO marketed with a virtual tour.
I have yet to see more than 1 photo on an REO in the MLS.
Many REOs have no picture in the MLS at all.
Many REOs have little more in the comments field than "bank-owned" or something to that effect.
I can't remember the last time I saw a complete listing in the MLS. Many REOs have no rooms at all and/or no heating/air systems if you rely on the info (or lack thereof) provided in … (3 comments)

homes belair: Harford Glen: An Environmental Gem in Our Own Backyard - 10/03/08 11:07 AM
Harford County Schools are awesome.
O.K. so I'm a little biased since both of my girls are enrolled in Harford County Schools. Did I mention how pleased I was w/the full-day Kindergarten?
I just found out that my 10 yr-old will take part in the 5th grade outdoor environmental education program held at Harford Glen in November.
Harford Glen Environmental Education Center is conveniently located in Bel Air, Maryland just off Route 24 at the end of Wheel Road. The program's mission is nicely summarized in just one sentence found in their literature sent home to parents:
Using the theme of Environmental Stewardship, fifth graders … (0 comments)

homes belair: Back to Basics: The Local Credit Union - 10/02/08 01:53 PM
I've always felt this way and now I have the facts and figures to back it up.
I've been banking with a Credit Union for eons. I opened my first checking account at 16 when I started a part-time job as a Pinkie at Maryland General Hospital.
Now, those were the days. Was I was rolling in the dough, or what? Making $6.25/hour and not a care in the world (read; bills!), I bought all the AVON I could fit into my room; Sweet Honesty was my signature fragrance back in the day. I was queen of the designer jeans, jordache, sergio valente, … (2 comments)

homes belair: Bad, Bad Photos... - 02/07/07 06:43 AM
I was checking our MLS for some listings for a buyer and came across this little ditty.
I honestly don't know why a listing agent would market a property like this. It's such a dis-service to his seller. If you can get past not being able to see the room, you surely are asking yourself what the heck is going on outside that window on the left. Did someone just drop a nuclear bomb? Buy a decent digital camera for petesake!
