Removing Odors in Your Home With Ozone - 03/27/09 06:55 AM
Recently, I sold a home in Medway Massachusetts where the previous owner had a couple of cats. When showing this home to my buyer clients, there was a very strong odor present.
We figured it was the cat box and that the cats may have gone to the bathroom on the carpets at one point or another. The buyers figured that with the cat boxes gone and the carpets cleaned the home would be odor free.
Unfortunately, this carpet cleaning did not do the trick and the cat odor remained. The buyers gave me a call and asked me if I … (52 comments)

Buying a Foreclosed Home or Potential Foreclosure Property - 03/23/09 08:24 AM
                                                                                                                                                   
Are you considering buying a foreclosed property? Why not after all there are plenty of them all around the country and they can typically be bought at a discount to the present market value.
Buying a foreclosed home however, is not for the timid at heart and there are many things that buyers need to consider. If you have ever watched a late night infomercial you would think buying a foreclosed home can be bought for 50 cents on the dollar and immediately re-sold for a boat load on money. Don't plan on it!
Foreclosed homes generally can be … (94 comments)

The Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate Market What Does The Future Hold - 03/19/09 10:32 PM
Working as a Metrowest Massachusetts Realtor one of the questions I am asked most often is when I think the market will turn around? While I don't pretend to have a crystal ball or a magic hat and certainly am not an economist, it is easy for me to see that the Real Estate market in Metrowest Massachusetts will not be changing all that much in the next year.
Let me say that this is not about being a pessimist or being negative. This is about being very realistic and honest. Over the last six months I have gone on a … (64 comments)

Making Home Affordable Loan Modification Program - 03/16/09 08:20 AM
The Obama Administration has announced new U.S. Department of the Treasury guidelines to enable servicers to begin modifications of eligible mortgages under the Administration's Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan.
The release of detailed requirements for the "Making Home Affordable" program facilitates implementation of the critical provisions that will help bring relief to responsible homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments, while preventing neighborhoods and communities from suffering the negative effects of foreclosure such as lower property values, increased crime and higher taxes.
You can see the complete Home Affordable Loan Modification Program Guidlines here.

Fannie Mae Short Sale Commission No Longer Cut - 03/14/09 11:34 AM
                                                                                                                                                      
Recent lobbying by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and more than likely other online prominent educational postings at such places like Active Rain to preserve commissions led Fannie Mae to recently instruct all servicers NOT to reduce Real Estate commissions on short sales. 
Fannie Mae sent an announcement to its servicers stating that as of March 1, 2009 negotiations on short sales commissions below the amount established by the listing agent is prohibited unless the commission exceeds 6 percent. 
Fannie Mae has recognized that negotiating commissions for short sales is unfair because of the extensive work required in … (67 comments)
