- 04/08/08 06:32 AM
Many first time home buyers in the Baltimore, Maryland area think that they must start in a row home or townhouse because the single family home is just out of reach.

Gray Manor is one of those neighborhoods-very diverse in style and size of home as well as price. I have helped several first time buyers find wonderful single family homes in this neighborhood.

realty: Essex,21221, Highlandtown, 21224, Home Buyer's Opportunity
- 02/27/07 10:12 PM
What a great time it is for Home Buyer's to be looking along the Eastern Avenue corrider from Highlandtown out through Essex! Everyone has read the stories the last few montha about the real estate market and how it has changed-sales slowing, prices dropping while maintaining the low interest rates. This has brought about a very unique situation that, I believe, has not been seen in the Maryland Market. First and second time home buyers can now have the opportunity to get a new home, at a great price with low interest rates. The time could not be better for buyers. … (0 comments)

realty: Expensive lessons learned as a non-represented buyer!
- 02/24/07 06:08 AM
My first homebuying experience set me up to be a SUPER- Agent for my clients! Everything that could possibly go wrong-DID GO WRONG! I was fortunate that the sellers were so patient as our initial offer was accepted on May 7 and we did not close until Mid-August! Lesson 1-Always have representaion to insure all of your bases are covered. We were buying a FSBO-way under market, because it was a gut rehab, so we felt we could save more by not utilizing the services of an agent. I had been out of the RE industry for a few years and had never … (1 comments)
