nh: What does it mean if the MLS reads The Seller will pay closing costs?
- 05/06/15 11:16 PM
What is the best way to attract a Buyer to see a home For Sale? Some think posting a simple message "Seller will pay Buyers Closing Costs" will do the trick. Yes it may attract some buyers but may also confuse a few more. Some buyers lump all fees when buying a home as closing costs and not know that some mortgages may allow a seller credit or others some may limit it to a specific percentage.
A Home Seller will have better luck hiring a GOOD local and trusted listing agent who will price the home properly and explaining how credits … (31 comments)

nh: Can you Buy a Home with Bad Credit?
- 05/05/15 10:00 PM
What does it take to purchase a home these days? This frequent question seems to be asked of me every day. There are many different types of mortgages for all kinds of Buyers. The BEST way to begin is to get pre qualified for a mortgage by a local and trusted bank or mortgage company. If you dont know where to start, a GOOD buyer broker can refer you to a GOOD loan officer.
There are different types of credit and different levels of "bad" credit. Most buyers do not even know the difference of what is bad, what is average or what is good.

nh: Why are Short Sales still around?
- 05/03/15 10:53 PM
The Market has recovered, WHY are we still seeing Short Sales? Values have increased. Homes are selling quickly. Here in NH a troubling trend is homes are listed as a Short Sale when their values were higher than what they owed. In order to get a quicker sale, they thought a short sale was a good idea. There is however some home owners that still do owe more than their homes are worth. In this case, A short sale may be just what they need if they need to sell quickly. A short sale does not need to be frustrating, It seems to go as … (13 comments)

nh: Is it possible to sell a Home where Buyers cant see the inside of it?
- 04/30/15 10:15 PM
Is it in the Home Sellers best interest to have Buyers see the inside of their home? You bet it is. Although it is possible to find a buyer for home and not let them see the inside, they may only offer half of what it is worth or less. A woman calls to list a property. It was her first home, she got married and moved into the new husbands home. She rented her former home. Now she is ready to sell and the tenant will not allow anyone inside to see it. At least 2 other agents took the listing … (29 comments)

nh: Where did the last 100 days go? A changing market with new challenges
- 04/29/15 11:08 PM
What is happeing in the Real Estate Market? It is a question I get asked daily. To say that the start of 2015 has been a whirlwind is an understatement. As in most areas there is a shortage of homes to sell with a steady amount of buyers looking to take advantage of the ultra low interest rates to buy their dream home. The record breaking winter slowed owner occupied buyers but investors bought anything and everything right through 8 feet of snow.
I set many goals for 2015. To purchase a new office building. To grow by adding agents. To increase the … (14 comments)

nh: Can I list my home with multiple agents at the same time?
- 04/28/15 10:19 PM
There is no shortage of short cuts people will try to sell their home. A Manchester Nh area home seller called to list their home. Upon arriving they disclosed their plan to list their homes with 4 agents, The biggest company they could find, The agency with most TV ads, A MA company and a locally owned and operated company.
His thought was 4 agents equals 4 times the sale power. I wondered how many agents would accept an open style listing because I sure was not. The answer was the other 3 all took the listing. The reality this seller will face … (13 comments)

nh: How would you handle a Buyer that doesnt know what they want in a home
- 04/27/15 10:44 PM
Sometimes a Husband and Wife do not agree with what they want in a home. It can pose a great challenge when starting the Buying process. Take a recent relocation Buyer to New Hampshire where the Husband wanted a new home that "needed nothing", move in ready he said. Then came the wife's request of an older home, with character they could fix up or restore. She wanted a pool, he wanted a garage. She wanted a first floor laundry, he wanted either a finished basement or one that could be finished. She wanted a home close to the highway, he wanted … (10 comments)

nh: What good is a pre-approval letter if it doesnt mean you are approved?
- 04/26/15 10:45 PM
An angry Home Seller wants to know what the use of the being pre-approved is if the letter they received with the offer didn't mean they were actually approved for a loan? The CONFUSION starts that they actually got a "PRE-QUALIFICATION" Letter and not a pre-approval. Many buyers and sellers are confused by the two terms. This sellers sale fell through because the Buyer could not get a mortgage and had a generic pre-qual letter from an internet mortgage company that wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. She fired her agent and seeks answers to what went wrong.
A pre-Qualification usually only looks … (57 comments)

nh: WHY list a home if you dont do anything to get is SOLD?
- 04/23/15 10:27 PM
How angry do you get reading this? Meeting with a local group of residents, the talk turned to me when they found out I was in Real Estate. The question posed was "Why would a big national franchise agent list my home if they were not going to do anything to get it sold?" The answer is simple, some agents and companies work off only selling a percentage of their listings. They need a large number of listing's to reach their goal of a "certain percentage".
You often will read in my blogs that "ALL AGENTS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL." Therefore all agents … (16 comments)

nh: WHY is my Home NOT SELLING and why are you yelling at me
- 04/22/15 10:27 PM
Every time the phone rings, there can be some excitement on the other end. This time it is a very irate woman screaming "Why her house is not selling?" My first question was who she is and what her address is. It is not one of my listings, so why is she calling me and why is she yelling?
She tells me she did everything right, she cleaned her home, de-cluttered, spruced up the yard and hired the biggest company she knew of. Looking up her home on MLS, I asked why she decided to call me.
While she was thinking, I was able to find … (11 comments)

nh: What do you think of Value Range Pricing in Real Estate?
- 04/21/15 10:23 PM
Why would someone offer a home in MLS at a price they were not willing to accept? Recently a Buyer of mine made an offer on a home listed at $250,000 in MLS and in the comments it states it was listed as a "Value Range" Listing of $250,000 to $300,000. The buyer liked it and offered $250,000. The Seller rejected it later countering at $300,000. The result, was an angry buyer who did not under stand why they would list it at a price they would not accept. The seller could not answer why. The listing agent stated that is … (28 comments)

nh: Why Cant Uncle Bob The Plumber in spare time fix the inspection items?
- 04/19/15 03:51 AM
Who decides who will fix any issues from a Home Inspection? Different parts of the country have different traditions. We have been getting a great deal of relocation Buyers to NH for our great jobs and fact there is no Income and No sales tax. With the new buyers, comes new thoughts how to handle home inspections. Many Home buyers have used the Inspection to re-negotiate the sales price.
In today's market though, there is a shortage of homes for sale in some markets with an ample amount of buyers ready, willing and able to buy. Many sellers are putting their foot … (24 comments)

nh: How Many Homes can a Buyer make an offer on at the same time?
- 04/18/15 10:44 PM
Can a Home Buyer make an offer on two different homes at the same time? This particular Buyer saw my listing yesterday and soon with their agent. A couple hours later wanted to see it again and said they were bringing an offer. It was assisted, so i met them there, Looking at the name on the offer it was similar to a name on an offer I received on a bank owned listing of mine the day before. I asked their agent if they put in an offer yesterday, she said no.

As they looked over the home again I pulled the offer … (37 comments)

nh: Is Facebook a Deal Maker or a Deal Breaker in Real Estate?
- 04/15/15 11:22 PM
Ismple search of their name and a great deal was had by my Buyer.
In summary a Listing Agent or Buyer Broker's job is to work with their Buyer or Seller through each step of the buying OR Selling process. That includes discussing how negotiations work, what to say and what not to say. SO thank you Facebook for another great sale. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH … (30 comments)

nh: Do I have to do what is written in a Real Estate contract?
- 04/15/15 10:50 PM
Did the Buyer really want that done? If it is in the contract, I would say yes. This was not asked by a seller but by the listing agent. In a recent offer on a home both accepted and signed by the seller. The buyer asked the yard be free and clear of all dog poop. The seller had several dogs that ran around in the yard all winter doing their business, none of which was cleaned up. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out when all the snow melts, what would be left.
Fast forward the arrival of spring, all the snow is gone … (17 comments)

nh: How important is having and using a Telephone in Real Estate?
- 04/15/15 10:28 PM
Has the telephone gone the way of the pagers, faxes, dinosaur's and travel agents? Yesterday after trying for near 6 hours to reach a Listing Agent I stopped into their office. They were there and when told I have been calling them all day to get something for our closing, they said "exactly, you didn't reach me because you didn't text me, I don't answer a phone any longer. Get with the times." My response was short and swift for them to get me what is needed to close or this is not closing.
Last night as I sat pondering this conversation, my phone rang. I answered … (29 comments)

nh: Have you Flown lately? If so did you see the NEW trend in Real Estate
- 04/14/15 09:55 PM
There is a new trend in Real Estate and I can tell you for sure that if you have boarded a flight, spent time in an airport you may see similarities. Flying US Airways now the "new" American Airlines, there was a sharp distinction between those employees who offered good customer service to the many more who did not. For what you pay and what one is put through, you think they would treat a customer better.
What does this have to do with Real Estate? Sitting there waiting for a delayed plane, I hear this woman blurt out "This was as BAD … (19 comments)
