condo: Considering adding high tech home A/V gear to your condo home? Here are tips to keep the HOA happy too...
- 01/20/12 04:33 AM
So, at a recent holiday party a client of mine threw I learned that during his major remodel the concrete framed building did actually allow some noise and vibration through the walls - that's because they were installed a new hung ceiling which required about 500+ screws into the concrete. Yeah, apparently the vibes went out toward 4 floors each direction. One thing I noticed at the housewarming though was that in adding the dropped ceiling, they hadn't added a full audio system throughout the home. That got me wondering about all these new high tech systems going into houses because … (0 comments)

When you have a busy life, it's nice to have someone else to worry about the exterior of the home, both structurally and for groundskeeping, as these are some of the biggest time and money hogs in single family home ownership.

condo: The joys of finding out FHA has approved your seller's condo complex!
- 01/20/10 04:17 AM
So, we've been working on a transaction for one of our clients since late October 2009. The client came to us the year prior thinking it would take him 2 months to get ready for on market, but then took 7 months to get there. I'd done a lot of early review of the property to try and determine our chances with FHA since only one part of the complex was initially approved when the development was completed.
