homerome: Growing Up In A Haunted House - 10/28/23 04:28 PM
On today's radio show, we talked about haunted houses, and I asked if anyone had lived in or bought one. 
I had an interesting caller discussing growing up in a haunted house.  He described how books on very high shelves moved, drawers opened, and footsteps were heard in the floorless attic above.  His mother was okay with the "ghosts" and reassured her family they were friendly.  When the ghosts would act up, Mom would talk with the ghosts, but this time "reassuring them that the family was not going to chase them out and they could stay.''
 After the show, I received … (18 comments)

homerome: October Is The Right Time To Sell Your House - 10/14/23 06:10 PM
 October Is The Time To Sell 
 Many think spring is the only time to sell because most houses look their best with green lawns and flowering trees. My favorite time to sell is right now.
 Always build listing inventory even if others suggest waiting. The time to buy and sell is ALWAYS when the buyer and seller are ready.... and that can be any of our seasons and in any weather.
 
  October's market is changing along with the fall colors.
Now's the time to be out there taking advantage of this opportunity. 
And to repeat: The right time to sell is when you and the house are ready.

homerome: Finding The Right House Is Like Finding The Right Partner - 10/14/23 02:37 PM
 
 
Looking for the right home can be frustrating and time-consuming; sometimes, it feels like you're searching for the right partner.
 
 
 
 
But when you finally find "the one," it's like winning the lottery …(without the money).
 
There are a few similarities between finding the right home and finding the perfect partner:
 
Finding the right home takes time and patience, like finding the perfect partner.
 
 
You might have to kiss a frog or two (or tour a few frog-like houses) before you find your prince charming. But don't worry, you'll find your happily ever after.
 
When searching for a home or partner, you must be true to yourself. … (12 comments)

homerome: Is It Time To Move? Are You Ready? - 10/03/23 07:57 AM
The right time to sell is when you and your house are ready.
It is not when the seasons change; it is not in the Spring when the azaleas are in bloom; it is not before the winter snow; it's not after the kids go back to school; it's not when you reach a certain age, it's not when you retire, and...
It's not when someone else thinks it is time for you to move. 
 
 
The time to move is when you and your house are ready!

homerome: Thanks to Lenn Harley and Anna Banana - 10/01/23 06:38 PM
 This month's challenge asks us to share our candy tidbits of knowledge and treats from other members.   First, I went back quite a few years to find pearls of wisdom from  Lenn Harley.
For 18 years, I was with the big box company...loving all aspects of real estate with the challenges of the transaction and making things happen. I found I was giving advice more often than asking for it. Should I get my broker's license?
So I went to the person I most admired, also a solo broker, and asked and then listened to Lenn Harley's words of wisdom.

homerome: 10707 Sprinkle Lane - Greenspring Valley Log House - 09/23/23 08:04 PM
10707 Sprinkle Lane
 Greenspring Valley
Owings Mills 21117
Country Comfort -Historical Significance-Ecologically Important 
Sprinkle Lane is located in the heart of The Greenspring Valley on a .55-acre private dead-end lane.  This is where old meets older- a  2-story 1783 log house was merged with the existing two-story 1903 tenant house. 
The log house, back in 1988, was in a field west of Frederick, Maryland.  At that time, it had no roof, nothing between the logs, and the only occupants were cows.  The present owner moved this log house to Baltimore's Greenspring Valley to its current location.

homerome: Appreciation Is My Kind Of Reward - 09/07/23 07:12 PM
Just last week, we had a smooth settlement on my new listing. This seller was responsive, kind, and a pleasure to work with.  He always got exactly what we needed for the closing: his quick responses, follow-up, ordering the condo docs, or doing some minor repairs were done with speed and efficiency.
 
And the above message arrived this week. My Lee always said I worked for thank you notes. And he was always right.

homerome: Does That Perfect House Exist? - 09/06/23 11:17 AM
Finding properties for a buyer when inventory is low to non-existent has been a real challenge. Finding a perfect home-even more of a challenge.
I have been working with this buyer for a year or more.  Her desires in a home are specific, and she does not deviate.
Her wish list is in Baltimore County, with an easy commute to her studio.  It has to be pristine (if not brand new) and finished to move in immediately.  Public water and gas cooking is a must.
Loving the look of the soft greys and whites and lots of light, she wants a bright … (16 comments)
