free: The TOP 5 Reasons your Home may NOT SELL this SUMMER - 08/01/12 04:44 AM
As a leading Listing agent here in the Manchester NH area there is one fact that a lot of SELLERS have not come to terms with. Here in Southern New Hampshire, their homes are not going to sell this Summer. Why is this is a big deal? What is the hurry you ask? Well many have children that will be changing schools who wanted to bein their new schools by Sept 1. There are many reasons why a home may not sell, however these five are the deal killers in most scenarios.

free: Should you stop paying your mortgage when selling with a SHORT SALE? - 07/31/12 01:26 AM
A Home Owner just called telling me that Mr. Out of Town Broker told them to STOP paying their mortgage to help make the short sale more "more eligible" when they submit it. The Home Owners question was "Should they stop paying their mortgage when selling with a SHORT SALE?"
 
With red flags waving as hard and furious as if I was standing in Hurricane, my next question was "Did you sign a Listing with this agent and Massachussetts company?"
"Well of course" replied the caller. My pause on the phone was obvious enough for the caller to go into a defensive stance. Because … (11 comments)

free: Will a SHORT SALE get approved faster if I offer FULL PRICE? - 07/23/12 10:12 PM
 "What if I offer FULL PRICE for a SHORT SALE? Is it automatically approved? Will it go faster?" Suprisingly there are many buyers who do not understand the SHORT SALE process here in the Manchester NH area. A short sale is not like any other sale. A short sale is where the seller owes more than their home is worth, the sale then has to be approved by the sellers bank to sell for less.
Unfortanately offering full price may not have any affect on whether a short sale is approved. The key with asking prices is that the bank does … (13 comments)

free: A Buyer borrowed a ladder, he is climbing the roof of your Listing ? - 07/20/12 10:51 PM
Excuse me Mr. Godzyk, The buyer for your Listing at xxx Local Street just asked to borrow a ladder. He walked accross the street, placed it against the garage and is climbing on the roof. The thing I love most about Real Estate is the adventure. Yes I love making people happy, seeing the smiles on a Buyer or Sellers face and closing sales but then there are calls like this...As I got in the car to head over to the home I was thinking wait, this home is not even under contract yet. As i get there the side door … (32 comments)

free: What are the most important TEN SECONDS in Real Estate??? - 07/19/12 10:06 PM
What you may not know is that 10 seconds can make or break any Real Estate Deal. Nearly every buyer wants to drive by a home before going inside. Within 10 seconds they will decide if they want to see inside or if they will keep on driving to the next home skipping over this one.
The exterior condition of the home means much more than some home owners and listing agents realize.
It is important to maintain the exterior of the home and the yard.
1. Cut the lawn.
2. Trim bushes and shrubs.
3. Remove all debris from your yard.
4. Make sure … (49 comments)

free: HEY AGENT-I offered a bonus to bring me a buyer but no one is coming? - 07/19/12 05:01 AM
I had an interesting question from a seller who is listed with someone else but asked me "I offered a $500 bonus to the selling agency but no one is looking at my home?" WHY NOT? The only way to answer is straight forward with the hard truth. Unfortanately a $500 bonus is not that much to truely inspire anyone to rush right over with a buyer. It is better to know that your house is priced right which is at or just below market value. Next is your listing agent splitting the commission 50/50? Then is your home being advertised and marketed? … (5 comments)

free: The SECRET to getting your Home SOLD - Not "Just Listed" - 07/17/12 11:44 PM
Most Home Owners think that Listing your home will mean an automatic sale. It is not quite as easy as placing a "For Sale" sign in the front yard and your agent placing your listing in the MLS and on a wing and a prayer you HOPE it sells. Here in New Hampshire Home Owners are learning the "SECRET" to Selling their home quickly and at the Best Obtainable price. Not every agent who gets a license to practice Real Estate becomes a successful Listing Agent.
Before Listing your home you should know that the Buyer Agents are getting in line … (18 comments)

I am proud to announce the Sale of one of the most beautiful condexes I have ever sold.

The only thing worse than a negative person is 2 negative people. Not soon after entering my new listing in MLS I received a call from an agent who said they were supposed to get that listing. Puzzled at their rudeness I simply said I am not sure about that but i did get it, If you want to bring your clients to see it i would be more than happy to  show it to you.  I encountered the second one within 2 hours later as I was waiting for a buyer who saw my blog post on my new listing who … (10 comments)
