help: If I dont get a buyer agent, can their fee pay my closing costs?
- 04/07/15 10:15 PM
Why would any Buyer think this would work? A Manchester NH area buyer stated they were not hiring a Buyer Agent and would like the fee they would have received used to pay their closing costs. They said they saw it in TV. In NH, a buyer does need their own Buyer Agent. An agent can act as a facilitator or what is known as a "non agent" in some circles. A buyer received an agency disclosure form that explains what each type of agent means and what the duties of each is.
The Seller hires the listing agent at a set fee. The … (27 comments)

help: What do you do if the Real Estate phone rings on Easter?
- 04/05/15 10:22 PM
It is 8am on Easter, your business phone rings... What do you do? For me, I answered it. It was a home buyer in town visiting relatives who saw a home I have listed. They are leaving after Easter dinner to head home, is there any way they could see it. Lucky for them the seller is away and I was ready to roll. After asking the key questions to make sure they were ready, willing and able to buy a home, I headed to let them in,

help: HOW many Buyers need to see a home for the Seller to accept an offer?
- 04/02/15 11:23 PM
Does a Home Owner need to wait to accept an offer? Can they accept the first offer made? I walked into a literal shouting match, as the listing agent berrated the home selller that they should wait to accpet an offer until they had a "bunch of them". It was the 3rd day the home was on the market, I was the buyer agent for a buyer and we saw it on the first day n came on teh market. We were first to make an offer just over asking and without any contingencies Here we are 3 days later and … (11 comments)

help: WHAT do you do if a Home Inspection goes VERY Badly?
- 04/01/15 10:24 PM
What options does a Buyer or Seller have when a Home Inspection Fails? Not many inspections are flawless. However just because something is found does not always mean it FAILS or mean the inspection has gone badly. The inspection process can be eye opening. It can also be scary.
First thing the Inspection should identify items through facts. Inspectors should not guess or estimate and most important not be al alarmist. I like to inform my Home Buyers or the Seller when it is my listing what to expect from an inspection.
Most important each should know what to … (12 comments)

help: Do you want to hear a SECRET?
- 03/31/15 10:28 PM
Is this marketing plan an April Fools Joke or is it real. They said their plan was two fold. Put a sign out front of the home and place the listing in MLS. Then they wait for a buyer to call.....That was a question a Home Seller asked me if after spending the last 6 months listed with a big time company.
As you could hear crickets waiting for a punch line, the home owner said "no really, that was their plan." As I thought why then they would spend 6 months listed with such a person and or company, the … (6 comments)

- 03/24/15 10:40 PM
The old joke is if you bring in 10 home inspectors you Will get 10 different reports. In reality this is not true, you may only get 5. One of the most important jobs in a Home Buyers eyes and one of the dreaded parts of selling by a Home Seller. The most important part of any inspection is identifying those safety issues that may not be seen with the naked eye. You will often hear me preach that all Real Estate agents are not the same, that also goes for Home Inspectors. I know some very good ones an then i just … (71 comments)

I found 2 rooms without a closet, 1 a dining room and then 1 room you had to go through another room to get to, but no closet, … (23 comments)

Let me hear your opinion, a Buyer wants to have a water test done on a home with city water? The lender is not requiring it, but someone suggested they do it anyway? What would you say?
I told them they can if they want, but it is city water. The water results are on on the water companies web site for public review. The home is not even 20 years old, copper pipes and nothing to set of any red flag. Just a suggestion by the buyer agent that "all their buyers do water tests".
