greensboro real estate: Get ready, set, BUY! - 01/03/12 11:33 AM
Get ready, set, BUY!
It's a new year, the economy is looking up a bit, interest rates are still crazy low and you're tired of waiting to make a move. So, get off of that fence and make your move! Wouldn't you love to be in your new yard planting flowers this spring?
You may have waited and waited for prices to go down more, but guess what, they don't seem to be going any lower in our area. Coupled with fairly high inventory, low pricing and interest rates below 4%, there's no more reason to wait.
The holidays are over … (0 comments)

Combine low mortgage rates and lower housing prices, and you have an incredible housing value. We believe these will be the days we all look back and wish we had bought another house.

greensboro real estate: How to Prepare for a Home Inspection - 08/01/11 10:20 AM
How to Prepare for a Home Inspection by Amanda Serra of Allen Tate REALTORS
Most people would think about the inspection of their home the day before the home inspector is scheduled to arrive. But if you are planning to sell your home it is always good practice to take care of some of the potential issues before you put your house on the market.
Is the banister to the deck and/or the stairs loose? Is there chipping paint on the window frame? If the house was built before 1978, lead-based paint is a concern. And depending on the loan … (3 comments)

greensboro real estate: Looking For More Hours In the Day? - 07/11/11 10:39 AM
Looking For More Hours In the Day? by Phyllis Brookshire of Allen tate REALTORS
I’m sure there has been a day when you have wished for more hours. The more technology we have and the more we opt to take-on, the more challenging it becomes to manage our time.
Here are a few time management tips I have learned over the years that have served me well:
Sticky Notes. Do you have sticky notes everywhere? While they are a useful tool, each sticky note is a collection point (those physical places you use to capture actions, reminders, and notes).

greensboro real estate: Green cleaners...a safer, gentler way to clean your home. - 06/13/11 10:35 AM
Green cleaners...a safer, gentler way to clean your home.
From Regina walter of Allen tate Realtors:
It was a beautiful spring day and I had the urge to clean up my place. Since I didn’t have many supplies available, I took a look around and remembered my mother using some of the most basic products (I think they were on to something back than!)- vinegar, baking soda, lemons and yes even onions (for odors).
When you switch to natural everyday staples for housekeeping, you will have a healthier home environment. Vinegar, baking soda and lemons are clean-up champions and they are … (4 comments)

greensboro real estate: Does Zillow cause you problems? - 04/20/11 11:04 AM
Does Zillow cause you problems?
I know it does for me.
When my sellers recently agreed to drop the price on their home, it was not as low as I felt it needed to be to move the home. I am not a big believer in Zillow's pricing. However, i did show them in order to help get the price down a bit more. Of course, they were offended and would not go near that price.
On the other side of the coin, I have buyers quoting Zillow values and wanting to make rediculously low offers. "Well, Zillow can't be wriong". … (8 comments)

greensboro real estate: Weather is wreaking havoc for many sellers! - 04/16/11 12:03 PM
Weather is wreaking havoc for many sellers!
At first, I thought is was just my imagination, but the TV news confirmed it this morning. We have had an abnormal amount of severe weather so far this spring.
In our area, we have been spared the tornadoes, but heavy winds, lightning and hail have caused quite a bit of damage. Power outages as a result, have only made things worse.
For many homeowners trying to sell their homes, it has been a real problem. Trees and branches down have made a mess everywhere. The cost of removing these trees can be quite … (2 comments)
