pending: Cincinnati 55+ Community Patio Home Under Contract AGAIN! - 07/27/20 08:22 PM

2020 has been a bit of a strange year (candidate for understatement of the year!) and that's applied to real estate too.  Some home segments have been impacted more than others, and that's been the case for 55+ community home sales.  As of tonight, this Heritage at Miami Bluffs patio home is back under contract!  We've had to sell it more than once, and not for the usual reasons!  2020 is just that kind of year!
Inspections are scheduled for the end of the week and thanks to a cash buyer we should be completing the sale in about three weeks, unless … (3 comments)

pending: Colerain Township Log Cabin Home Under Contract - 07/15/20 08:27 PM

Beauties like this log cabin home may be common in some parts of the country, but they're not so common in Greater Cincinnati!  After taking a break during the COVID shutdown, we brought this home back on the market in late May to find that JUST RIGHT buyer for this gorgeous log cabin home on almost 5 acres of HEAVILY wooded land.  And that JUST RIGHT buyer has been found and has a contract to purchase!  Inspections are scheduled and we're on track for a late August closing.  
This log cabin home features a FULL wrap around porch/deck so pick … (2 comments)

pending: Under Contract AGAIN! 452 Crestview Dr Lebanon OH - 03/06/20 07:21 PM
 
Some homes you have to sell more than once, and that's been the case with this home.  A buyer's financing denied after home inspections.  First time home buyers who have an agreement but get cold feet JUST before signing the contract.  These things happen, so we keep working to get the Just Right buyer needed for the home.
This evening 452 Crestview is once again under contract!  The seller is happy and from what we hear the first time buyer is also happy! 
Now it's time to work through the rest of the process.  Inspections are up next for this 3 bedroom … (4 comments)

pending: 452 Crestview Dr Lebanon OH Ranch Home Under Contract - 01/19/20 07:43 PM
 
2020 got off to a great start for this Lebanon Ohio ranch home we had listed for sale.  We'd adjusted price in December and just before year end freshened up the listing in MLS to reattract attention, and it worked!  Today we completed sign-off on an accepted contract, but we're still willing to take back up offers for this 3 bedroom 2 bath 2 car garage brick ranch home in a mature Lebanon neighborhood.
While the may look older, the insides got spiffed up and features an open plan that is NOT typical for homes of this age.   The home is … (1 comments)

pending: FAQ: What Does A Home Status of Pending Mean? - 10/17/19 07:56 PM
If you're searching for a home to buy in Greater Cincinnati, chances are you're using a home search site fed from Cincinnati MLS.  Our own website is fed from Cincinnati MLS, and so is every major brokerage site in Cincinnati.  And if you look at the national sites like Remax.com, Realtor.com and others, they're also being supplied by Cincinnati MLS via syndication.  The nice thing about this is you don't have to go to multiple websites to search for all the agent listed homes for sale.
When you search these sites, you're going to find homes listed as one of either two … (4 comments)

pending: Sometimes A Back-Up Offer Gets The Home! - 08/12/19 07:53 PM
I'm typically not a huge fan of writing back-up offers because I consider the odds of moving into primary position a bit slim and it keeps my clients in suspense for an extended time.
If I'm the seller's agent, I consider a back-up offer a great piece of leverage.  The buyer starts making too many demands and you can drop the "we've got a back-up offer" card.  The buyer either backs off, or quits entirely and my seller can go to the back-up offer, which is most likely as good or better than the initial offer.
So if I'm the buyer's agent, I … (6 comments)

pending: 555 Heatherwoode Cir Springboro Ohio Ranch Home Under Contract - 07/21/19 07:10 PM

The pixels are barely "dry" on the electronic signatures, but this Springboro ranch home is now under contract!  555 Heatherwoode Circle, Springboro OH 45066 is scheduled to complete the sale in mid-August after receiving plenty of attention and another "almost" contract that came up a little short when the buyers' buyers backed out of their deal.  This time things look VERY solid!

pending: Mason Ohio Woods On Wilkens Ranch Condo Under Contract - 02/04/18 03:56 PM

Sometimes it's the SECOND time that is the charm!  We almost had a very quick sale when this Mason ranch condo came on the market, but the buyer backed out for financial reasons.  THIS time the buyer is all cash and made the terms VERY appealing for the sellers.  A few hours from offer to acceptance, with a scheduled closing on Valentine's Day! 

9161 Elizabeth Lane in Deerfield Township has a lot to offer for its asking price of $287,900.

pending: Why Do You Show Homes Under Contract On Your Website? - 04/17/17 01:12 PM

When we set up our home search website based on Cincinnati MLS, we had a choice in direction to make:
Show ONLY homes not under contract or show BOTH homes under contract and those not under contract?
And we chose to show BOTH.
Now it's possible showing both categories leads to some confusion for interested home buyers, but a quick check of the home's status display shows Active (still for sale) or Pending (under contract).
So why do we contribute to that possible confusion?  Because we want our area consumers to have ALL the pertinent information.
If you're driving through Heritage at Miami Bluffs (Cincinnati's only … (4 comments)

4448 Woodner Drive Kettering OH 45440 is under contract!  It took less than 3 weeks from market introduction to accepted contract! 
And it's not a surprise this home didn't last long considering fantastic updated completed by the sellers!  Although this home was built in 1962, thanks to major updates in the kitchen, bedrooms and baths, this home seemed MUCH newer. 
Key features of this home:
4 bedrooms & 2.5 baths.  The master has an attached bath with a tiled shower (check out the picture bottom left).  Older ranch homes usually DO NOT have their own bath! And the master includes TWO … (6 comments)

pending: West Chester Ohio Ranch Home Under Contract in 5 Days! - 06/30/16 10:09 AM

Well priced homes in West Chester Ohio don't take long to sell, and we knew when we listed this nicely updated ranch home on a cul de sac street with a fenced back yard that we'd have a hot one on our hands!
Fact is we had our first showing the morning of the day we were going live in MLS!  Our photographer knew an agent that had a buyer that fit the home, so she put in the word for us and that agent and her buyer were first in line!  Other showings quickly followed and while we had rumors of … (2 comments)

pending: Another Buyer Under Contract In Mason's Cherry Brook - 06/04/16 08:57 AM

Cherry Brook is one of the premier Mason area communities with upscale homes, decent sized lots and a fantastic location convenient to interstate access and the Voice of America, Liberty Center and Union Centre shopping and entertainment complexes.  Add in Mason City Schools and Voice of America park and you've got even more reason that Cherry Brook is the choice for many buyers.
So when one of our buyers called about seeing a home in Cherry Brook Memorial Day weekend we knew there was a good chance of this being the right match for them.  We've been working with this family on … (5 comments)

pending: TOO LATE! Franklin OH Home In Rolling Meadows Under Contract! - 05/08/16 07:00 AM
 When there's a shortage of homes available in your market, assuming you have time to wait to see a home can cost you an opportunity to make what might have been the JUST RIGHT home YOURS!
That's the story with our most recent listing in Franklin's Rolling Meadows community!  Fresh on the market mid-week, this home at 55 Green Knoll Drive didn't even last past the weekend before having an accepted contract!  And the showings that were scheduled for Monday will have to settle for back-up status!

It's Already TOO LATE!  West Chester Ohio Home Under Contract!
In Cincinnati MLS yesterday morning, under contract before the sun sets tonight!  This home was popular with the buyers and a quick flurry of showings today and an agent and buyer who didn't waste any time getting an offer in and written with strong enough terms that our sellers didn't even counter!
Thanks to the great preparation the sellers did in the months leading up to placing this home on the market, we knew this home would be in demand!  We're happy that our advice and marketing led to a very short suspense … (8 comments)

Some times as a listing agent you have to sell a home TWICE, and this was the case for 6483 Partridge Way, an attached ranch condo in Villas of Hunters Green  after the initial buyers decided not to complete the deal.  We continued to market through what is traditionally the "slow" season for Mason condos and kept working to get our sellers a new deal that would work!  And we're happy to announce that not only is there a new buyer for this Mason ranch condo, but we've … (4 comments)
