Birkland is an alluring haven hidden down a back country road in Hoke County. While it offers quiet country living, you're less than 10 minutes from major retailer shopping centers and restaurants. Owing even more to the allure of Birkland, the elementary school that serves this enclave sits just across a farmer's field, within walking distance, an easy bike ride or a two minute drive. Enjoy the peace of walking distance, an easy bike ride or a two minute drive. Enjoy the peace of knowing that your children are almost "right next door" during the school day. And rest in knowing that with only two streets and a cul-de-sac in this neighborhood, your children can ride their bikes without you having to worry about traffic racing through. With very little traffic, you can jog along the quiet rural road that serves Birkland. Birkland is not the typical cookie-cutter, tract neighborhood. Each home has its own unique look and personality nestled in the countryside of one of the fastest growing counties in the state. This neighborhood offers character and privacy...safety and relaxation. With each home sitting on ½ acre lots, custom built fire pits and you have plenty of options to maximize your outdoor living. For our noble soldiers and their families, Fort Bragg, NC is an easy 15 minute drive through country roads that take you to the Chicken Road gate. For those whose duties take them to Camp MacKall, you're a relaxing 25 minute drive down more county highways that ribbon through Hoke County horse country. Embrace Birkland as an escape from the frustrating pace and traffic of the city. Live in a place where you can soak up the peacefulness of the wooded nature surrounding you. A home in Birkland is not just a place to live; it is a place to enjoy living.

Welcome Home.....

April is at its end as May has rounded the corner with the promise of continued enjoyment, as we all look forward to weekends of fun in the sun. The excitement of making plans for the end of the week in the great outdoors is a joy in itself that turns Thursday’s daydreams into Saturday’s adventures, Yea!!!!! From playing a few rounds of golf, to being “Gone Fishing” fun in the park or a variety of things done in a comfy pair of shorts and flip-flops. As always, our favorite pastime of cooking out is surely one that validates that spring is in full swing. But in the midst of all the enjoyment going on, we definitely cannot forget about our “TO-DO” list or our “HONEY DO LIST” that we keep putting off until later. Some of which can be done in minutes, while others may take a day or so to complete.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!!!!

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:18:52 -0700

With the spirit of Easter still in the “SPRING AIR”, we have reached the time of year where joy and happiness dance with each other as the flowers bloom and the birds sing to the rising sun. Where cool mornings turn into warm days filled with sunshine. Where the evidence of renewed life is apparent with the pollen covering everything in sight. It is also the time of year when families enjoy the change of season that brings longer and brighter days that are spent joined together in fun with one another. The smell of a grill cooking out mingled with the sound of kids playing outside during spring break brings back fond memories of times past: nostalgic thoughts. The dreaded time for “SPRING” cleaning, that when all is said and done, brings such a sense of accomplishment, that we decide to reward ourselves with a weekend of doing exactly what ”WE” want to do. Whether that is doing absolutely nothing, to spending time with friends, enjoying and laughing. Then there are those who have found the perfect time to browse the real estate market in hopes of finding a home that will suit their needs. From growing families needing to up-size: to couples looking for their first home, or even single individuals needing a home for their very own. Whatever the need, the season is upon us to “SPRING” into action.

Time to Move?????????

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 11:29:25 -0800

A Well Schooled Decision

The quality of a school district is an important determinant of the market value of a house. For homebuyers with children, the quality and reputation of the local school system may be as critical to their decision as the appeal of the home.

The desire to give their children a quality education usually causes parents who are in the market for a home to ask questions about the local school district. What is the annual expenditure per pupil and the average class size? How do the district's standardized test scores compare with the national mean? Are special education programs available? What percentage of high school graduates go on to college? What is the physical condition of the schools and the district's record in handling school bond proposals? Parents may also want to know the school board's educational philosophy.

A professional real estate agent has the experience and knowledge to help you choose the right community and schools for your family.

Advantages of Buying Down

Your youngest child has just left home! Your present house now seems enormous. Your "empty nest" has prompted thoughts of selling your home and moving to a smaller, more manageable house.

Before you make a move, you should consult two important professionals--your real estate agent and your tax planner. A good real estate agent will be able to tell you the value of your current home and the availability of alternative houses in your preferred area.

Buying a smaller home or condo can have important advantages, such as lowering your property taxes, simplifying property maintenance, and generating cash which can be put into income-producing investments. You will also want to consider the tax laws which allow capital gain exclusions whether you "buy up" to a more expensive home or "buy down" to a less expensive one. If you are moving downtown from the suburbs in order to be close to cultural centers, theaters and restaurants, there may be "quality of life" issues, such as noise or parking. Your real estate agent and your tax planner can provide valuable information to assist you in making such decisions.

Children and Moves

When you decide it is time to move, it is important to engage your children in the process. Depending on the reason for the move and the distance, moving can cause some concerns for children that parents may not be aware of right away. Moving often means going to a new school, leaving favorite playmates, and experiencing a lot of uncertainty about what the new neighborhood will be like.

The transition will be a lot easier if your children support your efforts to get your current home sold. How can you get them involved in the process? Include the whole family in discussions about the move and invite the children to participate in house-hunting trips. Ask for the children's cooperation in keeping their toys and clothes picked up. Teenagers may be especially touchy about strangers invading their space, and may resist keeping their room in "showing" condition. Stay communicative with your children about developments in the home sale to help them feel connected to the process.

Work with a real estate agent who is comfortable with children and can remain sensitive to your children's needs and concerns. When the house sells, take the whole family out to celebrate the event.

Empty Nests

When their last child is married or graduates from college, many couples feel the urge to give up yard work, sell their homes, and become sophisticated city dwellers. They may consider a condominium or a home near theaters, restaurants, museums and other in-town excitement.
Although city living has many rewards, this type of move represents a major change in lifestyle. You will be relieved of a lot of maintenance chores, and you will be close to many activities that not available in the suburbs. However, some things that you take for granted, like a parking place, may not be readily available in a city!

Before you make a commitment to a condominium, talk to the people who live there. Like suburban developments, town house and condo developments often have covenants and owners' association restrictions which limit what you can do with your home. A professional real estate agent can get you the answers to any questions you may have about this important move.

Housing Considerations

The impending arrival of a new baby is an important catalyst for many couples to plan a move. You may need more space or prefer a larger yard or a street with less traffic. Having a baby represents a profound change in life. Your thoughts about housing suddenly begin to include considerations about schools, neighborhood playgrounds, and other families with young children.

If you plan to enlarge your family in the near future, it is a good idea to assess your real estate needs early in the planning stage. If you have a condominium or smaller house which you have to sell in order to buy a new home, talk to us about placing your current home on the market now. It could take a while for it to close, even if we find buyers relatively quickly. Most real estate agents have stories of closing attorneys bringing paperwork to the maternity ward. While this may provide witty repartee for the agent, it is not a lot of fun for the new parents trying to work out the last minute details of a major move when the baby is about to arrive.

Moving On Up

Many people buy their first homes before they start a family or become established in their careers. A few years later their life circumstance has changed. They need more space or have increased income to invest in a higher priced home.

Changes in lifestyle often create changes in housing needs. A big promotion may require you to do more at-home entertaining. This translates into the need for a larger kitchen and additional living space. If you are starting a family, it may be time to trade your sophisticated home in the city for a house which has a big yard and is located in a good school district. If changes in your life have prompted thoughts of moving, an agent will be happy to discuss all of the possibilities with you. Your agent can determine what your present home is worth and show you homes that will meet your current needs.

Smooth Moves

There are many details to handle when you move out of one house and into another. Since it is easy to forget things in the rush of moving, making a written checklist of everything that needs to be done is an invaluable aid.

Be sure to include such tasks as providing the post office, your bank, credit card companies, and publications to which you subscribe with your new address. Let your insurance agent know about the move to ensure that your personal property will be covered at both houses. Call the utility companies ahead of time to arrange for the cut-off and turn-on dates for gas, electricity, water and telephone service. Put important documents, such as birth or marriage certificates, tax returns and home ownership documents together in a safe place as you pack, so that you can locate them easily.

It will give you a great deal of satisfaction to check off each item on your list as it is handled.

Smart Tips for First Time Buyers

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:40:32 -0800

Buying a home is a purchase every individual and family wants to make. But buyer’s should realize that their first home may not be the home there are going to live in forever. A first home is just that-a first home.

You like what you see, so where do you sign? Not so fast. Failing to get a home inspection isn’t just foolish, it can be financially crippling.

Always, always, always get a home inspection. Protect yourself you have no idea what the crack in the foundation can mean, or water in the basement and so on and so on.

While “location, location, location” is important many people forget to look at the big picture. Get an aerial view, just plug into Google search and see how close the home is to waterways, open spaces….If you find there is a landfill a couple miles away that may be something you want to know. In some areas you may have a freeway behind your home that may not be visible.

Be sure to seek out answers to questions about schools, property taxes, parks, traffic and pull your crime reports!!!!

The Benefits of a Good Location

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 20:12:47 -0800

The Benefits of a Good Location

One primary and irreplaceable feature that influences a home's appeal is its location. Desirable homes are often situated in beautiful geographical settings, with convenient access to jobs, shops and transportation. In preferred locations, homes hold their value over time, even as real estate markets in other, less popular vicinities show evidence of abating.

Some of the most valuable and exquisite homes in America are located in areas that are associated with breathtaking views, fresh air, and enjoyable leisure activities. In such locations, property values tend to remain at a premium because of the fact that there is only a limited amount of precious land, and there is easy access to the pleasures and necessities of life. Existing homes that are well maintained and situated in exceptional natural surroundings often sell very quickly, because people eager to move into the area keep an eye on the listings. There is always competition for homes where the local supply does not accommodate the public demand.

IS MY HOME HAUNTED ?????????????

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:21:01 -0700

When Halloween is mentioned, we think of grinning jack-o-lanterns and little ghouls scouring their neighborhoods, trick or treating. Our children celebrate this ghost time with darling costumes and fantasies of Fairies, Witches, Super Heroes and all kinds of FUN personal alternative personas. However, it wasn’t always about pumpkins and candy. Halloween dates back to ancient times and was celebrated differently than the way we do today.

For example the Celts believed that on the night before the New Year, the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred. The Samhian on the night of October 31^st, when the dead supposedly returned to walk the earth. Ghosts were thought to cause trouble and damage crops and enable the Druids and Celtic priests, to predict the future. To commemorate Samhain, the Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where people gathered to sacrifice crops and animals.

Well since we are speaking real estate here, how can you learn the history of your haunted home? How can you find out who lived or died on the property before you owned it or lived in it? It helps to know a friendly real estate agent or title company employee if you want to get the distant past history of your haunted land. Or better yet, talk to the neighbors, sometimes they know more than anyone.

A title company can run a title search and get what is called the “chain of title” for you. That will tell you much more than a property profile or the county records, which often go back only about 10 years. A chain of title can go way, way back-as far as Mexican or Spanish land grants in our area.

Sometimes the chain of title will also include, death certificates, so you’ll know if anyone died on the land or in the house. But don’t expect this to be absolutely perfect- no guarantees here! BOO!!!!

Real Estate Advisory

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 11:27:54 -0700

A real estate agent in vital to the home buying process and can provide a variety of services in locating a property, negotiating the sale, and advising the buyer. A real estate agent is generally not qualified to discover defects or evaluate the physical condition of property: however, a real estate agent can assist a buyer in finding qualified inspectors and provide the buyer with documents and other resources containing vital information about a prospective new home.

The advisory is designed to make a buyer’s home purchase as smooth as possible. Some of the more common issues that a buyer may decide to investigate or verify concerning a home purchase are summarized in this Advisory.

1. Common documents a buyer should review 2. Physical conditions in the property the buyer should investigate 3. Conditions affection the surrounding area that the buyer should investigate. In addition, a buyer must communicate to the real estate agents in the transaction any special concerns the buyer may have about the property or surrounding area, whether or not those issues are addressed in this Advisory.

Remember: This Advisory is supplemental to obtaining professional home inspections. Professional home inspections are absolutely essential: there is no practical substitute for a professional inspection as a measure to discover and investigate defects or shortcomings in a home.

COMMON DOCUMENTS A BUYER SHOULD REVIEW

The documents listed below may not be relevant in every transaction, nor is the list exhaustive. Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in these documents has not been independently verified by the real estate agent.

MLS PRINTOUT

A listing is an agreement between the seller and the listing agent and authorizes the listing agent to submit the information to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS printout is similar to an advertisement and contains various abbreviations and symbols. Neither the listing agreement nor the printout is a part of the purchase contract between the buyer and the seller. The printout contains a limited description of a property, such as its size, encumbrances, utilities, amenities, etc. The information was probably secured from the seller, the builder, or a governmental agency, and could be inaccurate, incomplete or an approximation. Therefore, the buyer should verify any important information contained in the MLS.

SELLER’S PROPERTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ( SPDS )

This document poses a variety of questions for the seller to answer about the property and its condition. A buyer should carefully review the SPDS and verify those statements of concern. Remember, your review of the SPDS is not a substitute for professional inspections.

COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS (CC&R)

The CC&Rs are recorded against the property and generally empower a homeowner’s association to control certain aspects of property use within the development. By purchasing a home in such a development, the buyer agrees to be bound by the CC&Rs. Thus the CC&Rs form an enforceable contract. The associations, the homeowners as a whole, and individual homeowners can enforce the contract. It is essential that the buyer review and agree to these restrictions prior to purchasing a home. The ADRE advises: “Read the deed restrictions, also called CC&Rs (covenants, conditions and restrictions. You might find some of the CC&Rs are very strict, especially those addressing landscaping, RV parking, play equipment, satellite antennas, and other common amenities-particularly if the subdivision is governed by a homeowner’s association. A short but informative document on the purpose and effect of CC&Rs may be read at www.realtor.com/BASICS/condos/ccr.asp

Buyers should consult legal counsel if uncertain on the application of particular provisions in the CC&Rs.

HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION (HOA) GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

In addition to the CC&Rs, HOA’s may be governed by Articles of Incorporations, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, and often architectural control standards. The HOA is in place to enforce these rules and to preserve the value of homes in the condominium or planned community. Condominium and planned community HOA’s are also regulated by NC statutes. What makes a development a condominium or planned community? Common area, this is, community ownership of real estate for use by community residents, is the common denominator. In a condominium, the common property is actually deeds as undivided interests to the condominium owners. In a planned community, the ownership of the common property vests in the homeowner’s association.

TITLE REPORT OR TITLE COMMITMENT

The title report or commitment contains important information and is proved to the buyer by the title/escrow company or agent. This report or commitment lists documents that are exceptions to the title insurance (Schedule B Exceptions). Schedule B Exceptions may include encumbrances, easements, and liens against the property, such as a future addition or swimming pool. Make sure you receive and review all the listed documents. Questions about the title commitment and Schedule B documents may be answered by the title or escrow office, legal counsel, or a surveyor. General information regarding title issues may be found at www.titlelawannotated.com or obtained from the title/escrow company employed in the transaction.

HOME WARRANTY POLICY

A home warranty may be part of the sale of the home. Buyers should read the home warranty document for coverage and limitation information. Be aware the pre-existing property conditions are generally not covered under these policies.

LEAD BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE FORM

If the home was built prior to 1978, the seller must provide the buyer with a lead-based paint disclosure form.

COUNTY ASSESSORS/TAX RECORDS

The county assessor’s records contain a variety of valuable information including the assessed value of the property for tax purposes and some of the physical aspects of the property, such as the reported square footage (which should always be verified for accuracy). Information is available on the county website. Cumberland County Hoke County Harnett County

PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTION REPORT

For the buyer’s protection, the importance of having a home inspected by a professional home inspector cannot be over-emphasized. A home inspection is a visual physical examination, performed for a fee, designed to identify material defects in a home. The home inspector will generally provide the buyer with a report detailing information about the home’s condition. The inspector and the report will point out existing problems and possible potential problems. The buyer should carefully review this report with the inspector and ask the inspector about any items of concern. Pay attention to the scope of the inspections and any portions of the property excluded from the inspection. Additional information on inspections may be found at the American Society of Home Inspectors website http://www.ashi.org.

TERMITES AND OTHER WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS

Termites are commonly found in many parts of North Carolina. Investigating evidence of termites or other wood infestations is the job of the pest inspector. The Structural Pest Control Commission (SPPS) regulates these inspectors and can provide the buyer with information regarding past termite treatments on the property.

COMMON PHYSICAL CONDITIONS IN THE PROPERTY A BUYER SHOULD INVESTIGATE

Every buyer and every home is different, so the physical property conditions requiring investigation will vary.

REPAIRS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION

The seller may have made repairs or added a room to the property. For example, the property may have an obvious improvement, patio, or garage, or may have been remodeled. The buyer should feel comfortable that the work was property done or have an expert evaluate the work. Request copies of any invoices or other documentation regarding the work performed.

SWIMMING POOLS AND SPAS

If the home has a pool or spa, the home inspector might determine that the cleaning system is not .working property or may exclude the pool or spa from the general inspection. It would be necessary to have a pool or spa company inspect the pool or spa and/or evaluate any problem.

SQUARE FOOTAGE

Square footage on the MLS printout or as listed by the county assessor’s records is often only and estimate and generally should not be relied upon for the exact square footage of the home. An appraiser or architect can measure the home’s size to verify the square footage.

SEWER

Even if the listing or SPDS indicates that the home is connected to the city sewer, it should be verified by a plumber, home inspector, or other professional.

PREVIOUS FIRE/FLOOD

If it is disclosed there has been a fire or flood in the property, a qualified inspector should be hired to advise you regarding any possible future problems as a result of the fire or flood damage and/or any subsequent repairs. For example, if the property was not property cleaned after a flood, mold issues may result. Your homeowner’s insurance agent may be able to assist you in obtaining information regarding fire, flood, or other past damage to the property.

FLOOD PLAIN STATUS

If the property is in a flood zone, an additional annual insurance premium of several hundred dollars may be required. If the property is in an area deemed high risk, the buyer may be required by the lender to obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. For additional details you can visit FEMA’S Flood Map Service Center http://www.fema.gov

CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE AREA SURROUNDING THE HOME THE BUYER SHOULD INVESTIGATE

Every property is unique: therefore, important conditions vary

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

FREEWAY CONSTRUCION

MILITARY AND PUBLIC AIRPORTS

SCHOOLS School Reports

ZONING/PLANNING/NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES

SEX OFFENDERS

You can get information on sex offenders at Sex Offenders, you may also try visiting the National Sex Offender Registry at www.familywatchdog.us . The presence of a sex offender in the vicinity of the property is not a fact that is required to be disclosed by the seller or agent.

Talk to the neighbors they can provide a wealth of information. Buyers should always talk to the surrounding neighbors about the neighborhood and the history of the home the buyer is considering for purchase. Drive around the neighborhood, preferable on different days at several different times of the day and evening, to investigate the surrounding area.

WHAT HOMEBUYERS WANT

Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:02:33 -0700

WHAT HOMEBUYERS WANT

1. Honesty and Credibility

We give you the truth!

When buyers talk about honesty and credibility, it often came with stories about past negative experiences with agents. The stories were about agents trying to push them towards a more expensive purchase and a strong dislike for the false sense of urgency they feel agents create when it comes to placing an offer on a house. Buyers have expressed how hard it is to trust anyone in today’s real estate market so it’s even more important for agents to help them feel comfortable. (The Morales Team believes in this!!)

2. Area Familiarity

We do our neighborhood homework?
Buyers place a high importance on finding an agent who not only sells homes in a specific neighborhood, but also knows that neighborhood well. Buyers want an agent who knows all about the schools, local parks, safety, restaurants and even the secret gems the neighborhood has to offer. (The Morales Team educates ourselves daily on this!!!)

3. Good Follow Through

You say it, we do it
During the conversation our buyers constantly verbalized their frustration with agents who didn’t do what they said. Email me, call me and send me the things you say you will. It seems like such a small thing to ask for. Do what you say, combine it with some honesty, and you’ll be an agent buyers feel comfortable working with. (The Morales Team follows through!!)

4. Good Listener

We understand everyone is unique and we treat them like it!
Buyers want an agent to listen to them with a blank mind. I heard phrases such as “pigeon hole”, “judge”, “they aren’t listening”, “tell me what I want”…etc. come up in our discussion. Buyers don’t want an agent to assume they need A just because they hear B. They want an agent who listens to what they want and will ask as many questions as required to really understand who they are and what they are looking for. (The Morales Team first listens then reacts!!!)

We will think about things that will concern you and your family- Schools, Location and Neighborhoods. We are well aware of the emotions involved in moving and will turn your worries to a seamless transaction from beginning to end.

It is our mission to be a valuable resource, an insightful counselor and strong advocate for our clients, provide them with guidance and information they need to make a good decision in selling or buying property. We continually improve our knowledge, tools, skills and marketing techniques.

We are someone you can always count on to keep our word and exercise utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty when working for you. We listen to our clients and are responsive and accessible. It is our goal to develop long-term, enjoyable relationships, to be their ongoing source of assistance and to earn their enthusiastic referrals.

We know and understand what a home means to a family and that our homes are lifetime investments, couples with the strongest of personal ties. We know that selling or buying a home ranks among our clients most important experiences.

Considering Locations

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:18:45 -0700

The large, stately house that you drive by every morning on the way to work has had a "For Sale" sign sitting in the front yard for months. When you finally call for an appointment and see the house--you love it! And the price is lower than prices for similar houses on quieter side streets.

Houses located on busy streets may represent excellent buys in terms of space and amenities for the price. Some buyers who are very sensitive to noise or concerned about small children or pets may automatically rule out houses that are located on busy residential streets. If you don't share these same concerns, you won't consider a busy location to be a deterrent to buying the property. If the sellers have made pricing concessions on the property based on its location, this could provide an opportunity for you to own a far grander house than you thought you could afford!

Just remember that when you sell the house, the pool of prospective buyers may be smaller, and you may have to pass on a similar price break to the next owner.

Remember Colors to Sell Your Home

Sun, 27 Jun 2010 08:23:03 -0700

The way that you decorate your home can affect your feelings and moods.

In Feng Shui, colors are believed to represent the five elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. Each color is also believed to have either peaceful (Yin) or invigorating (Yang) energy: the idea is to use both to create balance.

Red (Fire/Yang) is the color of good fortune. It is the color of passion and confidence. It is believed to help you attract recognition in your career.

Green (Wood/Yin) is a refreshing color choice. It is both calming and nourishing.

Orange (Fire/Yang) is thought to strengthen concentration and increase creativity.

Blue (Water/Yin? Is healing color. This is the most relaxing color.

Bright Yellow (Fire/Yang) brings happiness and improves communication: however too much can cause anxiety. Pale yellow(Earth/Yang) helps create stability.

Tan/Beige (Earth/Yang) promotes neatness, while Brown (Wood/Yang) is thought to make you more hard-working.

Silver (Metal/Yin) is the color of the trustworthy and romantic. White (Metal/Yang) brings clarity and efficiency, especially when paired with another Metal, like silver or gold.

Black(Water/Yin) brings abundance, especially when paired with Metals.

So when getting your homes ready for sale remember these colors. Be aware of the very important feng shui energy triangle when selling a home. The energy in the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedroom are of the most important. Take a look at the front door!

20 Tips For Selling Your Home

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:04:52 -0700

20 Tips For Selling Your Home

As a homeowner, you can play an important part in the timely sale of your property. When you take the following steps, you'll help the Morales Team sell your home faster, at the best possible price.

Make the most of that First Impression- A well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcome prospects. So does a freshly painted, or at least freshly scrubbed, front door. If its autumn, rake the leaves. If it's winter, shovel the walkways. The fewer obstacles between prospects and the true appeal of your home, the better.

Invest a Few Hours for Future Dividends- Here's your chance to clean up in real estate. Clean up in the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen. If your woodwork is scuffed or the paint is fading, consider some minor redecoration. Fresh wallpaper adds charm and value to your property. Prospects would rather to see how great your home really looks than to hear how great it could look, "with a little work".

Check faucets and Bulbs- Dripping water rattles the nerves, and discolored sinks suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing. Burned out bulbs leave prospects in the dark. Don't let little problems detract from what's right with your home.

Don't Shut Out a Sale- If cabinets or closet doors stick in your home, you can be sure they will also stick in a prospect's mind. Don't try to explain away sticky situations when you can easily plane them away. A little effort on your part can smooth the way toward a closing.

Think Safety- Homeowners learn to live with all kinds of self-set booby traps: roller skates on the stairs, festooned extension cords, slippery throw rugs and low hanging overhead lights. Make your residence as non-perilous as possible for uninitiated visitors.

Make Room for Space- Remember, potential buyers are looking for more than just comfortable living space. They're looking for storage space, too. Make sure your attic and basement are clean and free of unnecessary items.

Consider Your Closets- The better organized a closet, the larger it appears. Now's the time to box up those unwanted clothes and donate them to charity.

Make Your Bathrooms Sparkle- Bathrooms sell homes, so let them shine. Check and repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the tubs and showers. For added allure, display your best towels, mats, and shower curtains.

Create Dream Bedrooms- Wake up prospects to the cozy comforts of your bedrooms. For a spacious look, get rid of excess furniture. Colorful bedspreads and fresh curtains are a must.

Open up in the Daytime- Let the sun shine in! Pull back your curtains and drapes so prospects can see how bright and cheery your home is.

Lighten up at Night- Turn on the excitement by turning on all your lights, both inside and outside, when showing your home in the evening. Lights add color and warmth, and make prospects fell welcome.

Avoid Crowd Scenes- Potential buyers often feel like intruders when they enter a home filled with people. Rather then giving your house attention it deserves, they're likely to hurry though. Keep the company present to a minimum.

Watch Your Pets- Dogs and cats are great companions, but not when you're showing your home. Pets have a talent for getting underfoot. So do everybody a favor: Keep Kitty and Spot outside, or at least out of the way.

Think Volume- Rock-and-roll will never die. But it might kill a real estate transaction. When it's time to show your home, it's time to turn down the stereo or TV.

Relax- Be friendly, but don't try to force conversation. Prospects want to view your home with a minimum of distraction.

Don't Apologize- No matter how humble your abode, never apologize for its short comings. If a prospect volunteers a derogatory comment about your home's appearance, let the Morales Team handle the situation.

Keep a Low Profile- Nobody knows your home as well as you do. But the Morales Team knows buyers- what they need and what they want. The Morales Team will have an easier time articulating the virtues of your home if you stay in the background.

Don't Turn Your Home into a Second-Hand Store- When prospects come to view your home, don't distract then with offers to sell those furnishings you no longer need. You may lose the biggest sale of all.

Defer to Experience- When prospects want to talk price, terms, or other real estate matters, let them speak to an expert- The Morales Team.

Help Your Agent- The Morales Team will have an easier time selling your home if showings are scheduled through the office. You'll appreciate the results!

Buying versus Renting from you're Fayetteville, NC Real Estate Team

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 20:13:01 -0700

Shelter is a very basic human need which most people accommodate by renting or buying a house or apartment. Rental property is often less-than-perfect. Tenants usually experience a rent increase every year or so and feel somewhat at the mercy of the owner. They don't necessarily feel a strong commitment to the property or the community.

Making a decision to buy a house is a major commitment, and the decision has both economic and emotional implications. Instead of paying the landlord's mortgage every month, homeowners pay their own mortgage and build up equity in their investment. When they paint, plant flowers of make improvements; their family reaps the benefits of a more beautiful environment. Homeowners are much more selective than renters about finding the perfect home, and their sense of personal satisfaction heightens the pride of ownership.

In many cases, the amount of money a renter spends on rent can be about the same as or less than the amount a homeowner spends on a mortgage. With the tax benefit for homeowners, the savings can be significant. Let me highly recommend getting in touch with Carrie Cook nchomeloans@ymail.com or you can go to the secured webpage www.fayettevillenchomeloans.com at a convenient for you to get a no cost, no obligation prequalification.

Along with the financial benefits of buying, there are the less tangible benefits-things like pride of ownership and a sense of stability. It is your house you can decorate it or change it however you want to match your taste. You can have as many pets as you want without it raising your house payment or costing you a large deposit. All of these things can be very emotionally rewarding.

In addition to building equity, homeowners can also reap some tax benefits. Typically both the mortgage interest and property taxes on a home are deductible from both your state and federal taxes, which can save you a lot of money at tax time. Another thing to keep in mind at this time is the tax credit. www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com

10 Questions You and Your Buyers Must Ask Before Purchasing A Condominium Unit

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 17:47:04 -0700

Buying a condominium unit can be more involved than buying a single family home. This is because you have to worry about both the unit itself and the condominium project as a whole.

10 Questions You Must Ask Before Purchasing A Condominium Unit

To borrow from a famous phrase, not all condominiums are created equally. Some condominiums are very well run; some are quite poorly run and underfunded. Buyers interested in purchasing a condominium unit must do their homework: not only about the condition of the individual unit they are interested in purchasing, but on the financial health and governance of the condominium as a whole. Remember, you are buying into the entire project as much as you are the unit, and your decision will impact your daily living and your ability to re-sell.

Via Richard Vetstein (Vetstein Law Group, P.C., TitleHub Closing Services LLC):

Here are the 10 questions buyers should ask when deciding to purchase a condominium unit:

What is the monthly condominium fee and what does it pay for? The monthly condominium fee can range quite dramatically from condominium to condominium. The fee is a by-product of the number of units, the annual expenses to maintain the common area, whether the condo is professionally managed or self-managed, the age and condition of the project, and other variables such as litigation. For budgeting and financing you need to know the monthly fee and exactly what you are getting for it.

What are the condominium rules & regulations? Condominium rules can prohibit pets, your ability to rent out the unit, and perform renovations. Make sure you carefully review the rules and regulations before buying.

How much money is in the capital reserve account and how much is funded annually? The capital reserve fund is like an insurance policy for the inevitable capital repairs every building requires. As a general rule, the fund should contain at least 10% of the annual revenue budget, and in the case of older projects, even more. If the capital reserve account is poorly funded, there is a higher risk of a special assessment.

Are there any contemplated or pending special assessments? Special assessments are one time fees for capital improvements payable by every unit owner. Some special assessments can run in the thousands, others like the Boston Harbor Towers $75 Million renovation project, in the millions. You need to be aware if you are buying a special assessment along with your unit.

Is there a professional management company or is the association self-managed? A professional management company, while an added cost, can add great value to a condominium with well run governance and management of common areas.

Is the condominium involved in any pending legal actions? Legal disputes between owners, with developers or with the association can signal trouble and a poorly run organization. Legal action equals attorneys' fees which are payable out of the condominium budget and could result in a special assessment.

How many units are owner occupied? A large percentage of renters can create unwanted noise and neighbor issues. It can also raise re-sale and financing issues with the new Fannie Mae and FHA condominium regulations.

What is the condominium fee delinquency rate? Again, a signal of financial trouble, and Fannie Mae and FHA want to see the rate at 15% or less.

Do unit owners have exclusive easements or right to use certain common areas such as porches, decks, storage spaces and parking spaces? Condominiums differ as to how they structure the "ownership" of certain amenities such as roof decks, porches, storage spaces and parking spaces. Sometimes, they are truly "deeded" with the unit, so the unit owner has sole responsibility for maintenance and repairs. Sometimes, they are common areas in which the unit owner has the exclusive right to use, but the maintenance and repair is left with the association.

Insurance. The condominium should have up to $1M or more in coverage under their master condominium policy. Condominiums over 20 units should also have fidelity insurance to protect against embezzlement. For your own protection, you should always buy your own individual HO-6 policy covering the interior and contents of your unit, because the master policy and condo by-laws may not cover all damage to your personal possessions and interior damage in case of a roof leak, water pipe burst or other problem arising from a common area element.

Home Buying Tips From your Fayetteville, NC Real Estate Team

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:15:13 -0800

What are the pros and cons of adding on or buying new?
Before making a choice between adding on to an existing home or buying a larger one, consider these questions:
1.How much money is available, either from cash reserves or through a home improvement loan, to remodel your current house?
2. How much additional space is required? Would the foundation support a second floor or does the lot have room to expand on the ground level?
3. What do local zoning and building ordinances permit?
4. How much equity already exists in the property?
5. Are there affordable properties for sale that would satisfy your changing housing needs?

Do we dig deep and buy a dream home or settle for a starter home?
Choosing between a smaller house in an affluent neighborhood, an older, bigger house in a more working-class community or a brand-new home is not easy. If you're in this situation, start by examining your priorities and asking the following questions:
1. Is the surrounding neighborhood or the home itself the most important consideration?
2. Is each of the neighborhoods safe?
3. Is quality of the schools an issue?
4. Do any of the areas seem to attract more families with children or adult residents? And where do you fit in?

Keep in mind that you're going to have a home inspector come out and examine the house from top to bottom after you make an offer on it. At least, you should hire a home inspector. So you don't necessarily need to look at the roof and the foundation and other structural elements of the home, Sure, you want to make sure the home appears to be in good condition overall. But more importantly, you should focus on that list of wants and needs you created at the beginning of the house hunting process.

How do I get the real scoop on homes I am looking at?
Home inspections, seller disclosure requirements and the agent's experience will help. Disclosure laws vary by state, but in some states, the law requires the seller to complete a real estate transfer disclosure statement. Here is a summary of the things you could expect to see in a disclosure form:

•· In the kitchen -built in appliances (range, oven, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, trash compactor).

•· Foundation, slab, floors, windows, doors, ceilings, interior and exterior walls, attached garage

•· Safety features such as burglar and fire alarms, smoke detectors, sprinklers, security gate, window screens and intercom.

•· Room additions or other structural changes

•· Roof

•· The presence of a TV antenna or satellite dish, carport or garage, automatic garage door opener, rain gutters, sump pump.

•· Amenities such as a pool or spa, patio or deck, built-in barbeque and fireplaces.

•· Type of heating, condition of electrical wiring, gas supply and presence of any external power source, such as solar panels.

•· The type of water heater, water supply, sewer system or septic tank also should be disclosed.

•· Owners' Association or "Common Area" Expenses or Assessments

•· Drainage, grading or soil stability of lot

Sellers also are required to indicate any significant defects or malfunctions existing in the home's major systems. A checklist specifies interior and exterior walls, ceilings, roof, insulation, windows, fences, driveway, sidewalks, floors, doors, foundation, as well as the electrical and plumbing systems. The form also asks sellers to note the presence of environmental hazards, walls or fences shared with adjoining landowners, any encroachments or easements, room additions or repairs made without the necessary permits or not in compliance with building codes, zoning violations, citations against the property and lawsuits against the seller affecting the property.

Also look for, or ask about, settling, sliding or soil problems, flooding or drainage problems and any major damage resulting from earthquakes, floods or landslides.
People buying a condominium must be told about covenants, codes and restrictions or other deed restrictions. It's important to note that the simple idea of disclosing defects has broadened significantly in recent years. Many jurisdictions have their own mandated disclosure forms as do many brokers and agents. Also, the home inspection and home warranty industries have grown

What do all of those real estate acronyms in the ads mean?
If you find yourself stumbling over weird acronyms in a real estate listing, don't be alarmed.
