godzyk: DO NOT LOOK NOW but you may have a ZOMBIE House in your neighborhood. - 10/26/16 11:03 PM
WHAT is a Zombie House? Simply put a home in Foreclosure that the Home Owner moves out, however the bank has not yet foreclosed. These homes go uncared for. The grass grows long, many are broken into and damage stacks up. A WHDH Channel 7 Special in Boston MA reported a 20% increase in such homes. We see them here in the Manchester NH area too. Lucky for you being a REO agent I get to document many of them and can share some of these never before seen pictures with you.   TODAY is day 27 of my Series "The scariest Horror Stories in Real … (24 comments)

godzyk: Did you get a call yet about WINNING POWERBALL tonight? - 01/12/16 10:47 PM
I got the call, "How soon would we be able to close on your new listing if we win Power ball tonight?' Still a little shocked and not knowing who was calling, my response was "With any cash sale you can close in as little as 7 days if the seller is ready, you have the funds and your lawyer can work that fast.
 
The phone was ringing off the hook on this new Manchester NH area home Listing, so I didn't want to really ask, but had to... Before I could ask the woman went on to tell me everything she would do IF she won Power ball tonight. … (21 comments)

godzyk: WHY do Real Estate Agents stay away from Short Sales? - 01/06/16 09:49 PM
Who would think in 2016 we would be having this conversation? There was a huge controversy that agents purposely keep buyers away from short sales unless they are cash buyers. Here in the Manchester NH area although very minimal these days, still are seeing some short sales. I can say it MADE MY BLOOD BOIL!!!
 
Most people do not even know what a Short Sale is. Sadly some agents do not know either and even worse, many agents who have no experience in listing, negotiating and selling short sales are taking short sale listings in toady's market. The problem starts with home sellers who should really make sure their agent is WELL … (10 comments)

godzyk: What the heck is a 1/4 BATHROOM? - 12/27/15 02:59 AM
Are you a Bathroom expert? Do you know your bathrooms? You may see all sorts of numbers used to describe a bath such as a full bath, a three quarter bath, a half bath but how about a one quarter bath? You may see them written like 1.0 bath, 1.5 baths, 1.75 baths but how about 1.25 baths?
 
Whether it is in MLS, online or a newspaper, if the reader does not know what 7/3/1.5 means your ad is a waste of space.

godzyk: The TOP 5 New Year Resolutions in 2016 for SHORT SALE Home Sellers - 12/25/15 10:51 PM
Do you know there is a SECRET when it comes to getting a SHORT SALE Sold?.Many  Home Owners in  the MANCHESTER NH area still owe more than their homes are worth. Some may be behind in their mortgage payments and others need to move now. The "Good News" is that a SHORT SALE may be able to help them. The "Bad News" is that you may only have one chance to get it right. What that means is that Home Owners NEED to take better care in choosing a LISTING AGENT to sell their Home through a Short Sale.

godzyk: Does this look like a mailbox for a Million Dollar home? - 12/04/15 08:20 PM
Does it matter what the outside looks like if the inside is in mint condition?  The exterior is what a buyer will see first, They will drive up and judge within a matter of seconds if they want to go inside or not. On this Manchester NH area executive style home, the sales price will be at or just over 1 Million Dollars. So why in the world would they have a mailbox that looks like this?

How many times has a Buyer asked you "why wasn't my offer accepted? that was my dream home."  Here in the Manchester NH area. with homes selling fairly quickly, some Buyers are finding out the hard way, that in today's market, half price offers are not being accepted.
