east cobb: Recognizing a deal and is it the best deal
- 07/14/08 08:31 AM
Many home sellers are eagerly - no desperately - looking for a buyer in today's market. As we know, most sellers typically add a "pad" of 5-10% for "negotiating" room. What we are seeing in the current environment are sellers who are eliminating this pad, just to generate some interest and traffic. For example, a seller who would settle for $400,000 as a final sales price might start at $450 to allow for some negotiating. If this home sold for $410, then both parties would feel like they won since it came in $40K under asking price, yet $10K over what the … (6 comments)

east cobb: Now I've Bought a home...what expenses will I have?
- 09/10/07 01:55 PM
After closing on your beautiful home and moving in, there are things that you will be responsible for that you possibly did not have to pay for when you were renting. Here's a basic list: 1. Of course the MORTGAGE..and your payment may include TAXES and INSURANCE. Remember that if your lender is NOT taking out monthly amounts for these, you'll have to make BIG PAYMENT when the renewal date hits.

east cobb: Keeping homes smelling fresh
- 09/03/07 09:49 AM
One pointer that I picked up years ago had to do with the SMELL of vacant listings. As we all know, smell can make or break a deal, and it's hard to keep homes smelling fresh, especially the older ones. Owners of vacant properties like to save on HVAC bills, while they are out, and this can be a big mistake. A home that is too COLD or too HOT, usually also does not smell good because the air has not been circulating. So set the thermostat at a reasonable temperature...one that is not going to run up a huge utility bill, … (4 comments)
