Here are some real estate safety tips I read in a recent article:

Check your cell phone's strength and signal prior to the open house. Have emergency numbers programmed on speed dial. Carry an extra, fully charged cell phone battery.2. Upon entering a house for the first time, check all rooms and determine several "escape" routes. Make sure all deadbolt locks are unlocked to facilitate … (2 comments)

kendall county: Taxes: Don't Forget to Deduct Rental Depreciation - 02/18/07 12:35 PM
Tax time is nearly here. Anyone renting out a property to a tenant - either as an investor or as a reluctant owner who can't find a buyer - shouldn't forget to deduct depreciation expenses from income taxes.The idea is that property loses value as it ages, so the IRS lets landlords subtract some of the value of their property every year for 27.5 years and use it to reduce the income received from the tenant. That reduces the landlord's tax bill. Depreciation is complicated - and calculating it often requires professional help, experts say. Some people are overwhelmed by a … (1 comments)

kendall county: One Laundry Room Isn't Enough Anymore - 02/09/07 02:44 PM
A growing number of home owners are equipping their residences with more than one laundry area, and some have gone so far as to include washing machines and dryers in the closet of each bedroom. Multiple laundry rooms are convenient for owners of spacious dwellings and aging baby boomers who would otherwise have to carry clothes up and down stairs or across a large house. Some home owners are spending upwards of $2,500 on the newest machines that come in designer colors and run quietly, or they're buying specialized machines for delicate items and durable items. No statistics are currently available … (1 comments)

kendall county: 6 Ways First-Time Buyers Can Prepare - 02/09/07 02:43 PM
A cooling housing market gives buyers, especially first-time buyers, more opportunities to snatch up a good deal. But just because there are good deals, doesn't always mean buyers are ready to make the leap.These six tips will help prospective buyers find out if they are ready for homeownership. 1. Take a first-time home buyer class. It will make repairing a credit score and shopping for a loan less stressful.2. Be conservative. Borrowing too much can mean stretching and even sacrificing - to the point that it's hard to even keep a six-pack of beer in the fridge.3. Organize documents. First-time buyers … (0 comments)

kendall county: Setting the stage Sells your home - 01/16/07 09:27 AM
The age-old observation that "you never get a second chance to make a first impression" certainly applies when it comes to attracting buyers to a for-sale home.
Making a good first impression can mean the difference between receiving serious offers for your home or being subjected to months of lookie-loos dropping by but never buying.
How can you ensure that your home will make the best impression possible? Here are six tips for savvy home sellers:
1. Focus on curb appeal. The outside of your house can be the source of a very good first impression. Keep the grass well-watered and … (4 comments)

kendall county: When your selling price is too high - Beware ! - 01/15/07 01:02 PM
Meeting With Realtors
So you've decided to sell your home and have a fairly good idea of what you think it is worth. Being a sensible home seller, you schedule appointments with three local listing agents who've been hanging stuff on your front doorknob for years. Each Realtor comes prepared with a "Competitive Market Analysis" on fancy paper and they each recommend a specific sales price.
Amazingly, a couple of the Realtors have come up with prices that are lower than you expected. Although they back up their recommendations with recent sales data of similar homes, you remain convinced your house is worth … (0 comments)

The trade deficit for November declined by 1% to $58.2 billion, the lowest level since July 2005, the Commerce Department said January 10.

For homeowners, water can be a quiet villain. This seemingly innocuous element can harm your house gradually over time or in sudden disastrous events. A home that is water damaged can be a health hazard to its occupants and is very often expensive to repair.

kendall county: The Risky Side of Selling a Home on Your Own - 01/06/07 04:15 PM
The vast majority of sellers list their home with a real estate agent, but some individuals choose to go through the selling process on their own. Selling a home "For Sale By Owner", while entirely possible, does come with a list of hurdles and some significant risks.
Un-represented sellers are motivated to save the cost of the agent's commission. In many cases, however, selling without assistance can result in a lower closing price that negates such gains. In a survey of more than 7,800 buyers and sellers from around the country, the 2005 National Association of Realtors® Profile of Home Buyers … (0 comments)
