It's time to get excited, Charles County! The AMC Loews Movie Theatre in St. Charles Towne Centre is getting a much needed makeover! AMC plans to spend $4.5 Million to finally make this theater decent again.

The changes include a complete redesign of the lobby, concessions, bathrooms, and theaters. It's all scheduled to be completed sometime this summer, and plans include power leather reclining seats, Sony digital projectors and even perhaps an I-MAX! Anyone … (0 comments)

waldorf: Can A Foreclosure Settlement Be Delayed By The Bank Indefinitely? - 11/21/11 02:59 PM
I'm in the midst of an unfortunate (but not entirely uncommon) situation with a bank owned foreclosure in Southern Maryland, and I thought it might be useful to share it with you. I'm in the process of buying a bank owned foreclosure (REO) that I went under contract on at the beginning of October. I was scheduled to go to settlement on November 4th. As of November 18th, I still do not have possession of the house.
I got through the loan process just fine, my lender has me fully approved and ready to go to settlement. The reason we haven't … (0 comments)

waldorf: Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar Coming to Waldorf, MD - 09/23/11 11:35 AM
What's the next greatest restaurant headed to Waldorf, MD? Apparently it's Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill! I can just imagine how the conversation for that went:
"Wanna know what Waldorf really needs?" "Higher-end destination shopping?" "No, another restaurant!" "Oh, you mean like a specialty place, with Asian Fusion?"

That would be different!" "Nah, that would be too original. I was thinking about Buffalo Wild Wings!" "Um... don't we have that already? … (2 comments)

waldorf: What's it Really Like to Buy A Foreclosure? A Realtor's Search for a New Home - 09/22/11 02:32 PM
"The first rule of Fight Club - Don't talk about Fight Club"
I'm about to break all the rules about client confidentiality and fiduciary responsibility. Realtors aren't supposed to talk about contracts in detail, as it's a breach of trust with their clients. Well, it seems I just found a loophole! I'm in the process of buying a house myself. A foreclosure to be exact, and over the next few weeks I'm going to go into detail exactly how the negotiation, inspections, qualifying and closing actually workson my transaction. I've been quietly looking for months to try and find a home … (1 comments)

Step 1: Know Your Credit Everyone should have some sort of idea of where their credit score sits. You may not know the exact number, but you should have a vague sense of whether it's close to … (4 comments)

There are options to avoid situations like this if you find you are behind on your mortgage, however, and one of those options is to consider doing a Short Sale. A Short Sale is a process by which the homeowner agrees to sell their home prior to foreclosure at a price that is less than … (0 comments)

waldorf: Southern Maryland Real Estate Market Report: June, 2010 - 06/10/10 04:43 PM
Here are the latest market trends and information for the Southern Maryland Real Estate Market. Although sales have hit fantastic highs recently, current inventory supply is still at 8.5 months - still 2.5 months more than a "normal" market.
We've also seen prices creep up slightly, although not as much as we would like. If prices continue to rise while inventory continues to dwindle, we may be closer to saying that we've seen the bottom of the market come and go. Expect interest rates to remain low for the near future as lenders try to entice purchasers to continue entering the … (1 comments)

waldorf: What to Do When A Home Inspector Misses a Problem - Charles County Real Estate - 06/10/10 04:10 PM
Reading through home inspection reports in Southern Maryland can make you believe that there are a MILLION things wrong with every property. However, that's not necessarily the case. Inspectors report everything they see (including minor things like missing outlet covers) to protect both the buyers as well as themselves from litigious actions.
Inspection Nightmare I read someone's story recently about how their new home turned into a nightmare (see Couple Discovers Secret Room in New Home [...]). It certainly seems as though the blind cartoon character Mr. Magoo was their home inspector. Among the things he missed was a 'hidden' storage … (7 comments)
