home: 9 Reasons why your house hasn't sold!
- 10/16/15 06:46 AM
Do you have any other reasons to add? I started this series in August of 2009, back then I published a post called 6 Reasons why your house won't sell. It garnered an unbelievable (at least unbelievable for ME) 188 comments, after being viewed 10,888 times, and having 10,101 people "click" on it and presumably, that means that 1.8% of the people who viewed the post, decided to leave a comment behind. It was also "reblogged" by an astonishing 47 Rainers to share with their readers. Soon after posting, a local Chicago Realtor publication contacted me, having found the article on … (3 comments)

We all have a preference when it comes to style, designs and theme for our home. I know designs and themes can be a vague topic since this is highly subjective and highly dependent on our opinion or our preference.
We have discussed the designs before in our blogs, however, I believe we haven't exactly touched the topic of a fully Modernized Home. I'm for one can attest to that. However, our … (4 comments)
home: Why Do Homeowners Over Value Their Homes
- 09/18/15 06:34 AM
Home values are local and looking at national averages or reading information online does not necessarily help consumers price their homes correctly. Calling a local real estate agent and asking for a Comparative Market Analysis would be far more helpful than trying to guess what the price of a house should be. Why Do Homeowners Over Value Their Homes I would have to answer that question this way. Mostly because Brokers and news sources all broadcast that home values are close to the all time high. Who can blame homeowners, no one has said that lots of homes in specific locations went up in value … (0 comments)
home: Is a Tiny House Right for You?
- 09/18/15 06:12 AM
Smaller homes are becoming more and more popular, and what they lack in size they make-up with an attractive price point.
What started with a few people looking to down-size during the recession has turned into a national phenomenon: I’m speaking of course about the Tiny House movement.
A tiny house (also referred to as a micro or mini house) is generally from 100 to 500 square feet and is built on a chassis with wheels so that it can be easily moved, or it is built on a permanent foundation. Following the excessive McMansion era and the real … (2 comments)

- 08/25/15 11:04 AM
Do you think dating and real estate are similar? Why or why not? Home Buying can be an extraordinarily daunting task, especially if it’s your first time. But, wait you say. Dating isn’t as complicated as home buying. Really? You have dated someone before, haven’t you? It’s the epitome of confusing. Your first date resembles something out of a detective novel, as you turn into Sherlock Holmes in your superhuman efforts to figure out this… person. You have a checklist of likes and dislikes, good qualities and bad qualities, and things you consider overall deal breakers. You snoop, pry, evaluate, and gossip … (2 comments)
Thinking of buying your first home? Is the timing right? A home is usually the largest single investment an individual makes in his or her lifetime. The pros and cons of such a decision should be thought out and weighed wisely. If you have decided that NOW is the time for you to take the leap there are certain things you should take into account: HOW TO CHOOSE AN AGENT? Chose someone who knows the area you are interested in. Meet with him or her and discuss your … (7 comments)
Living in a condominium is different in many ways from living in a single residence. Even if you have lived in communities that have homeowners associations, once you move into a condominium in some area such as Hoboken or Jersey City, you will discover that the rules are different. The reason is that the shared ownership of a complex like that has to have ways to deal with numerous situations that single residency doesn’t encounter.
This is the reason you should check the Bylaws of your condominium complex. When were they written? If your … (0 comments)
