selling a home: Should a Seller disclose EVERYTHING? Not always! - 09/11/11 10:55 AM
Should a Seller disclose EVERYTHING? I used to think so, until I listed CW's* home. "I can't fill out the Transfer Disclosure Statement", she said. "If I do no one will buy this home".
"REALLY??" I'm thinking mold in the attic and a dead body in the backyard.
"So, what's … (97 comments)
selling a home: Watch out for wrong information on-line.... - 05/05/11 04:01 PM
My escrow almost blew up today, because my buyer found out the HOA payment was $50 a month more than she thought. "It's HOW MUCH??? I was told it was much less", she said.

selling a home: "How's real estate?" Here... I'm going to tell you. - 01/13/10 06:27 PM
With a long face primed for sympathy, I get asked "How are you doing in this market?" quite frequently. Well-meaning friends and others who know I'm a realtor, assume I am suicidal about THIS MARKET... broke, in debt, and have no one to sell to, sitting all alone in an empty office … (14 comments)

The seller at the walk through...? That would be a resounding "NO". I know... you want to tell them about the hidden switch to the fan, how to run the sprinklers, and how much water to give the african daisies. But "NO", anyway. Don't even think about it.
The reason is, … (14 comments)

selling a home: The Right Kitchen Remodel Pays for Itself.... - 02/27/09 02:47 PM
A complete kitchen remodel isn't cheap...$20K - $40K on average. But if you have an ugly kitchen, you will drop the price of your home by more than that to sell.
