ohio: Consumer Should Take Responsibility for Selecting a Realtor - 01/09/11 02:39 AM
Today I read a blog by Evanston, Illinois Realtor®, Alan May, Coldwell Banker. I have come to know Alan to write informative blogs for not only public review but for professional view as well. His blog spoke about the "average" Realtor®.
It is my humble opinion, that the buying/selling public should bear some responsibility for the selection of their representation in a real estate transaction. It isn't fair for the public to lay blame for "average", poor and bad respresentation on their choice of a Realtor®.
We are in an age where information is readily assessible to the public. As any parent, expects … (6 comments)

ohio: BED BUGS! On the Rise...You May Want to Add This Inspection for Your New Purchase - 09/20/10 12:16 AM
Bed bugs or bedbugs, however you want to spell it are...on the rise! I held an open house today and was fortunate to be supported by several ancillaries that I have recommended as quality folks to deal with when asked by my clients for a referral of a title company, lender, pest inspector and general home inspector.
The time I spent with the pest inspector that so graciously volunteered her time to sit with me in the open house was a real eye opener to the bedbug issue that seems to be rapidly spreading. I heard recently in the news that … (8 comments)

ohio: Plain Talk About What Mortgage Rates Mean to You the Buyer - 07/27/10 12:41 AM
So many times, I find people that are renting have no idea that they could in reality be paying LESS PER MONTH TO BUY a house THAN TO RENT a house or apartment.
Current interest rates are at a historial low. What does this mean to you really?
An interest rate of 5% (and as of today the rates were below that for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage) would mean that you are paying $5.37 per $1000.00 borrowed. Simply put, that means that if you borrowed $60,000.00 your payment would be $322.20 per month!
Let me back up a minute and explain 30 year fixed rate … (0 comments)

Ever just smile to yourself and think "I love my chosen career path"?

It was a day however, that made me smile when I finally had answered all the calls, responded to all the emails, made all the appointments for tomorrow, scanned all the paperwork to the appropriate people, looked up answers to the unanswered questions, and did a prestart of paperwork for tomorrow.

ohio: BUYER BEWARE OF POSSIBLE IMPENDING WATER/SEWAGE LIEN... - 05/07/10 02:23 PM
BUYER BEWARE OF POSSIBLE IMPENDING WATER/SEWAGE LIEN...
While I can not speak for the rest of the country I can tell you that in Toledo, Ohio a new buyer should beware of a possible impending water/sewage lien on their newly purchased home.
Due to the fact that water and sewer bills can become a lien against a property unlike electric and gas bills, I have always made it a practice to contact the water division shortly before closing to see if there may be any pending water liens on a property my client is purchasing, saving my clients thousands of dollars … (0 comments)

I ask this question because as a Realtor serving Toledo, Ohio and the surrounding suburbs of Maumee, Perrysburg, Holland, Sylvania, Oregon, Rossford, and Northwood I make calls to listing Realtors on a fairly regular basis to schedule showings for your prospective buyer.

Many folks do not realize just how much ground work goes into assisting a potential buyer. My day started at 8:30 a.m. when I set out to … (0 comments)

ohio: Does property tax valuation affect market value of a property? - 03/30/10 03:19 AM
Does property tax valuation afffect market value of a property?
Most people think that by lowering the taxation value of a property you are lowering the market value of a property.
Market value is defined as the price a seller of real property can expect from a buyer in a fair and open negotiation. Typically, the market value of a home or other real property, is determined by professional appraisers or real estate agents, based on a variety of criteria, such as size, condition, recent sales and market trends. Market value can fluctuate from what an appraiser or real estate agent may deem … (1 comments)

ohio: Toledo, Ohio Real Estate Investors - 03/24/10 12:57 AM
Investors in Toledo, Ohio it is a great time to invest in real estate. I work with alot of first time home buyers and because of that I am in many properties in the lower end real estate market. Many times the properties require more work than the buyers using an FHA loan can afford, sometimes they are just looking for closer to perfection. Either way, I find myself being able to match investors up with properties, possible tenants or land contract purchasers because I am in so many properties.
Please give me a call or drop me an email if … (0 comments)
