judy jennings: Why I Chose Real Estate - Was the Seed Planted back on the Farm?
- 08/17/11 02:48 AM
Growing up on a dairy farm in a rural town of southeastern Massachusetts, I never imagined that I would one day be selling real estate, but here I am. Little did I know, that the seed of my future career might have been planted in those early impressionable years. My first experience in sales came from selling our sweet corn by the side of the road. On many instances customers would try to haggle with me. They would ask for a "bakers" dozen. Not only was I selling, I was now learning the fine art of negotiating. I might have been … (6 comments)

judy jennings: Radon Result Came Back High - Now What?
- 11/01/09 02:53 AM
My house has high level of radon! Now what? If you are the Seller, chances are the Buyer is going to want YOU to take care of the problem. Not to panic, there are companies that can help. There are professional companies that specialize in the installation of radon remediation systems. They are not outrageously expensive and are much better than the alternative of refusing to address the problem. Refusing to fix the problem could result in losing the Buyer which means you would have to put the property back on the market. If the property goes back on the market, … (14 comments)

judy jennings: Send In The Clouds - Buying A Bank Owned Property In Massachusetts
- 10/16/09 08:16 AM
Buying a Bank Owned Home in Massachusetts - Buyer Beware! The clouds first started gathering back in March when Justice Keith C. Long invalidated the sale of two foreclosed properties in Springfield Massachusetts. He ruled them invalid as a result of the banks not having filed the appropriate paperwork in accordance with Massachusetts state foreclosure law. The original ruling was just upheld by a state Land Court judge. What will this do to pending and future sales of foreclosed properties? In Plymouth County alone, there are 106 pending sales of bank owned properties currently listed in multiple listings service. I wonder how … (12 comments)

judy jennings: Average or Older - Are They Included in Your Home Search?
- 09/27/09 08:44 AM
Today, it seems that most Buyers are convinced that they must have newer, shinier, larger, granite, stainless and/or tile. A house must have all the modern conveniences, all the bells and whistles, and be the best in the neighborhood. Is it me, or has the modern home become more of a status symbol, rather than a place to live? A show piece rather than a place to raise a family? While you are sitting there eating your dinner in front of the television watching your Tivo'd episode from the day, night, or week before and your dining room is left in … (80 comments)

judy jennings: Jury Duty - Answering the Call
- 09/24/09 10:18 AM
Jury Duty - We all at some point and time get called upon to perform our civic duty and report for jury duty. Once we fulfill our commitment, then we are not obligated to report for at least three years. Today I had jury duty. It was a beautiful September day and I reported (just barely) at the appropriate time, 8 am. I rushed into the court house and went up to the security check point. I placed my purse in the basket and proceeded to walk through the metal detector without any concern whatsoever. BEEP. Huh?The security guard must have seen … (12 comments)

judy jennings: Home Security - Are You Protecting Your Valuables?
- 09/17/09 03:48 PM
Let’s talk about your homes security. Everyone loves their stuff and most individuals are hoarders by nature (when you are willing to admit it). With all that “stuff,” and this includes pets and loved ones, you need to be conscious about securing your property.
During difficult economic times, there is usually a rise in home burglaries and vandalism. There are many desperate people out there that could be targeting your property right now. I bring this to your attention not to frighten you, but to educate you on how you might be able to decrease the odds of being victimized. Please take … (16 comments)

judy jennings: Pinehills Plymouth MA - 6th Annual Jazz & Blues Festival - Sept 12th & 13th 2009
- 09/12/09 01:54 PM
It was a grey kind of day for the kick off of the Jazz & Blues Festival at the Pinehills in Plymouth MA today. However, regardless of the bleak weather, there was a decent gathering at the Village Green. It was my good fortune that I was in the area to be able to catch a good portion of the set performed by, Next Exit. What a pleasant surprise. They are a group of very young men from Sandwich High School. A source mentioned that members of the band also play with other groups, and have played at other events and … (4 comments)

judy jennings: Buying a Foreclosure or Short Sale in Plymouth County - Massachusetts
- 08/05/09 03:26 AM
Want to buy a foreclosure or short sale property? I know you are out there. I also know that many of you are under the impression that since the bank owns the property, they want to dump it and they will accept anything for an offer. In some instances you might get lucky, but chances are you could get burned. Your idea of an offer might be way off the banks targeted business plan. Yes, I said business plan. When you are buying a foreclosure (bank owned or REO) property or short sale, you are dealing with a business. For a short sale, you … (14 comments)

judy jennings: What is a Short Sale?
- 12/28/08 12:40 AM
What is a Short Sale? As a Realtor, I have been asked this question many times. At first I was surprised at how the person asking the question didn't know. I know because I am in the industry and they are pretty common in my area. For a detailed description, please see Short Sale Definition. Basically, a Short Sale is when the seller has to sell their property for less than they owe on their mortgage. Okay, now you know what a Short Sale is by definition. Now here is a description of the parties that are most commonly involved in these … (3 comments)

judy jennings: Perseverance does pay off!
- 12/23/08 05:31 AM
Perseverance can pay off, just keep moving forward! I have been working with a young couple, who happen to be first time home-buyers. Getting pre-qualified was a breeze, good credit scores, credit history, and more than the required 3% FHA deposit requirement. It did not take long to find a property that matched their needs, interest and price range. We made an offer, our offer was accepted and the process began.
This was a short sale, but the bank and agent that had the listing were extremely cooperative - it being a short sale was not a problems. We ran into … (6 comments)
