buying a home in central ct: Today I was an Impatient Buyer
- 01/06/17 04:11 PM
Today I was an Impatient Buyer W get the calls or emails looking for information and then get snubbed if we are not prompt enough. I had a brief moment of understanding while waiting for a call back from a salesman. The Story: I am in the process of searching for a new vehicle. Like home buyers, I have been doing my research online as I am hesitant to get to a dealership before I am ready and get the heavy push by those guys with the plaid coats, bad fitting hairpiece and crooked smiles. While there is nothing wrong with my current car, … (20 comments)

- 02/17/16 11:16 AM
For the Day, 1 Up 1 Down and a Draw It was an interesting day for myself with real estate here in Central CT. I opened up my emails this morning and received contract for a buyer client of mine. That buyer will be ecstatic as he has been looking for a home for almost a year and was reaching the point of frustration. It won't be simple, as it's a 203K purchase but we will work for a Mid April closing. Then as I opened up the MLS I noticed a new listing that I was hoping to get for myself. The … (9 comments)
Some Times are Just Better Than Others We all have the question presented to us at some time or other: When is the Best time to Sell our House? It can also be changed to that of buying. The truth is there is no best time to buy or sell a home, but that some times are just better than others. For a seller there can be any number of reasons the house goes on the market. The need to upsize, relocation or a down-sizing. If there is work to be done on the house, then there should be … (10 comments)

- 07/05/14 05:33 AM
Buyers Need to Curb their Angst with Their Home Purchase. I have a first time buyer in Central Connecticut that is very excited about the home they will be purchasing. The inspection has been done; the appraiser came; all needed documents are at the bank, and hopefully they will be ready to close by month's end.
Early morning I get a call from the buyer anxious to get in and do a repair to the garage roof as there is a big storm heading our way and they would like to seal the roof before any more damage can be done. I … (29 comments)
For buyers on a tight budget, getting some assistance from a home seller in Central Connecticut can be the difference in being able to make the home purchase. This is particularly so when the value of property taxes owed back to the seller at closing are considered as well as value of escrows the bank will be collecting from the buyer towards future tax and insurance collections. Few buyers recognize that these seller concessions are still part of the negotiated sales price of the home and if … (8 comments)

I was showing houses over the weekend to an investor client. Now, those are usually homes that are significantly distressed so one is prepared for the worst. This particular home was a probate sale, with a notation of caution for smell due to the owners having too many cats. This was far from the case, as the property was well beyond just animal smells. At some point, some water damage also occurred and upon opening the door, a smell I have come to associate with mold struck me.
Many people are fearful of buying a home because they feel they won't know how to properly maintain the home. It really isn't that bad and usually takes just an extra phone call. Home ownership isn't the costly task people think it is. The key to making home ownership easy is to first not buy more than you need, and to make sure that the homework on the home is done before you close. Working with an agent that listens, and making them appreciate that you … (8 comments)
