scott: What the HECK is a WINDOW TREATMENT?
- 06/28/14 11:23 AM
The top 2 questions lately are if window treatments are included and then what exactly is a window treatment? "Window treatments" is a term that covers all window coverings, mini blinds, shades, verticals, indoor shutters or curtains.For various reason sellers want to leave or take the window treatments with them. they may be grandma's old curtains, or they were a gift or home made or $10,000 custom curtains.The most obvious reason the buyer wants them to remain is when they move in, they would like the windows to have coverings, they can change them in time, but at least they do not … (8 comments)

scott: Sign that listing over - only I list in this neighborhood
- 06/25/14 11:19 PM
Is there a rule about where one can and can not list a home for a specific neighborhood? After a recent new listing an agent stopped by as I was taking pictures and told me I should sign the listing over to them as they sell all the homes in this area. I wasn't sure if I should laugh to myself or out loud. See... the owner told me they were pressured to list with this certain agent but seeing other homes have gone unsold listed, they found me through my Active Rain blog and knew I was the one to … (51 comments)

scott: I NEED to get in NOW! Is it alright to let buyers in on short notice?
- 06/24/14 10:20 PM
Do you love being able to get in to see a home with little to no notice? It sure can be convenient for Buyer and their agents, however is it a smart decision to allow them? Perhaps if the home owner is willing to make sure the home is "Ready" to show every day.
This Manchester NH home was available for quick showings but when we got there, it was not quite ready to show. Lived in is one thing, but last nights dinner still on the counter is another. It had everything the buyer wanted. Right location, right style, … (10 comments)

scott: How do you get a Buyer or their Agent to give the Seller Feedback?
- 06/22/14 11:24 PM
When the phone rings and it is a seller of a home who is listed with one of those big national companies calls me to ask for feedback on a Showing for one of my buyers I was a little more than puzzled. The Listing Agent had not even called, emailed or text-ed me back to even get inside. Yet here is the seller who knows my name and number. Seems like an assistant called the seller but failed to call me back to say we could get inside after 4 emails and 4 calls in 3 days.

scott: Should i wait for Interest Rates to go LOWER before BUYING A HOME?
- 06/21/14 11:08 PM
Who is to blame when a buyer loses a home? There was a young couple, first time buyers who waited for a home to go for sale in their parents Manchester NH area neighborhood. The Owners have been clients of mine for over 20 years having both sold and bought many homes over the years, so of course they listed with me. I promptly went next door, met the parents and were soon introduced to the new buyers. They looked at the home 4 times in two days and were ready to buy. This was their dream home and their dream … (11 comments)

scott: How to make Social Media work for you in Real Estate
- 06/19/14 10:45 PM
What is the best way to get exposure to your home for sale, your listings or yourself? The simple answer you will hear the most as of late is Social media. How to use it correctly is the question. You may see elaborate marketing ideas to the most simple. The simple plan of getting your name and picture in front of people you already know, reminding them of what you do, who you are and what you can do for them.
Results may not be instant as in you post and someone throws a listing at you. But reminding … (4 comments)

It is challenge time again and Active Rain is asking what event in our lives led us to where we are today? I spend many days over the last week writing this and re-rewriting this entry. There just does not seem to be one just one event. I believe every event, every listing, every sale and every client is a building block to how i got to where I am and who I am today.

What would your Dream Home be like? Active Rain and Beazer Homers posed a challenge this month to write a blog post about the feature you'd most like to see in a new home. It asked me to share why I thought every new home should come equipped with this gem and why anyone living in a home without this feature is missing out on the good life.
The interesting part of this challenge is that nearly every day it is my job to find others their Dream Home. I list all kinds of homes. New homes, existing homes, big, homes, … (8 comments)

scott: WHY Can't I just BUY a Home that is in PRE-FORECLOSURE?
- 06/15/14 11:08 PM
If a home is in Pre-Foreclosure, WHY can I not just buy it and save the owner and Bank money? With a shortage of homes for sale in some areas, Buyers are looking at all types of sales to get a bargain. The term Pre-Foreclosure is one of the most confusing terms here in the MANCHESTER NH area. There are many definitions and certainly more myths than reality. The simple definition of a "Pre-foreclosure" is a home that has entered into the Foreclosure process. It has a different meaning for a home owner who wants to either save their home or … (10 comments)

scott: Is it time to put the HAMMER DOWN on SHORT SALES?
- 06/15/14 12:15 AM
Are you fed up with Short Sales yet? There is plenty of blame to throw at the banks, appraisers, agents taking listings who have little to no experience to handle them, sellers who don't give it there all to make it work and the people who work on them that just do not care. It is time to STOP the blame game and do something about it. There are still people who owe more than their home is worth in today's market, Whether they just need to sell to relocate or are behind in their mortgage, a Short Sale CAN help, BUT needs to be done right.

scott: How can a Buyer get a Seller to LOWER their asking price?
- 06/13/14 10:50 PM
Should a Buyer and their agent even be trying to get a Home Seller to Lower the asking price of a home For Sale? My advice is NEVER base your offer on an asking price. Then get a new Buyer Agent. The Buyer Broker should assist the buyer in determining what the market value is in "Today's Market" then base your offer on that. You do not know other wise if the home is priced AT market value. If it is priced way below market value already to attract more offers or is priced way over market value.

scott: If you are in Foreclosure, Do you HAVE to sell through a SHORT SALE?
- 06/12/14 10:42 PM
How do you know if a a SHORT SALE is for you? One local home owner was confused, listing their home with another agent as a short sale even though they owed less than the house was worth. They were in Foreclosure and going about it the wrong way. Even though the economy is improving in some areas. Even though the housing market has recovered in other markets, there are still Home Owners who are behind in their mortgages due to many valid reasons. Whether it be job loss, sickness, divorce or another hardship, there is help out there for these home owners.

Do you know the best way to get the answer to your questions? Simply ask a child as they will tell you like it is. While showing one of my listings to a Buyer and their agent on a second showing, they brought the kids along. Bank Owned Home are known to need some work, but that is what gets you the best deal. As we walk inside there is still a yellow phone attached to the wall with a long cord curled from years of use. One of the kids looks up and says "This is one of those antique … (47 comments)

scott: Is it possible a POOL can make a Home sale SINK or SWIM?
- 06/08/14 11:33 PM
Can a pool make or break a sale? A house with a pool can offer some challenges to a sale. Who will maintain it? How to keep it safe during showings? Want to complicate things, list with an agent who is not familiar with pools. There is a Manchester NH area home my Buyers made an offer on. The sellers have moved out and moved out. They did open the pool before they left. The water was clear and pool ready to swim. But the closing is in 40 days. What happens to the pool I asked? The listing agent did … (22 comments)
