After listing 822 Cottonwood Drive in Lockwood Chase in Malvern on Thursday morning for $595,000 we rapidly had appointments being made through the weekend.

nick vandekar: Who pays the commission?
- 04/14/18 05:41 AM
This is an excellent question and has been discussed many times in relation to selling a house. Don't get caught by a bait and switch operation and pay more than you should to sell your home.
Does the buyer pay the commission, because they fund the transaction, without a buyer there is no transaction? Or does the seller pay the commission as it states on the listing agreement and it affects the net amount they receive? It often depends on your perspective.
This post is in response to a recent discussion with a friend who listed with what they described as a hybrid … (21 comments)

nick vandekar: Tredyffrin Easttown Real Estate - SEO
- 03/26/18 11:17 AM
At the beginning of the year I decided to develop a niche. I entered the phrase cautiously into Google and hovered over the enter key then closed my eyes and hit ENTER!
The result Nick & Trudy Vandekar #2, on page 1 behind Realtor.com
Phew, all that work since the beginning of the year has paid off. So let me check Tredyffrin Easttown Real Estate, same result. I then searched by each township alone, same result although a little different page position for each search.
How did I do it. Consistently linking to my website in blog posts, using those terms in my blog … (6 comments)

nick vandekar: It is Spring!
- 03/22/18 07:42 AM
With all the storms I was looking through some photos yesterday and it reminded me that it is Spring, and in a few weeks it will look beautiful and we will have forgotten all the snow.
Usually our azaleas flower just before Mother's Day.
And of course this time of year is when the tulip fields are flowering
Wish this was my garden, but I fear the deer would have a banquet with that choice.

nick vandekar: It is how you see it!
- 03/22/18 07:20 AM
Snow storms can be viewed as a frustration, days lost, work not accomplished, time lost.
Alternatively, you can view them as an enforced time of reflection, time to take a deep breath, meditate, consider goals and strategies, relax and actually enter back into life refreshed and energized.
You can also use it as a time to get some work done that often gets held up because of the every day busyness of life. Decluttering your home office, or your closet, calling prospects, etc.
I did a combination of getting some work done and enjoying the time to read some books I have been meaning … (30 comments)

nick vandekar: What Do Lenders Want to See in Bank Statements?
- 03/21/18 08:02 AM
One of the biggest complaints I get from buyers is about their mortgage process. I try to paint the most dire picture so that it won't seem so bad when they go through it. But, what is actually the problem is not understanding the process and/or how it has changed over time. This post by John Meussner is a great explanation of one step of the mortgage process and why it is required.
Well worth a read if you are going to be applying for a mortgage soon so you are better prepared for the process and hopefully it will go more smoothly.
Once you … (4 comments)

nick vandekar: It is not just about selling homes
- 03/17/18 01:41 PM
Most of the time our job is to sell homes, either representing the buyer or the seller. We guide the buyer client through the transaction, we might suggest some local lenders who know the market, so they are approved and in a stronger position when it comes time to make an offer. We sit down and discuss the areas they want to look. We ask them what they are looking for and how they are going to live, are they indoors or outdoors people, with kids without kids, what about pets? All this we use to guide them to the right home. … (14 comments)

nick vandekar: Chesterbrook ranks as #2 best place in the nation to live
- 03/16/18 02:44 PM
Best places to live
Niche just ranked Chesterbrook as the #2 best place to live in the nation, with Carmel at #1. On top of which several other local Tredyffrin Easttown towns were also ranked in the top 100. This is a wonderful place to live for many reasons.
Made me realize I need to re-shoot this video we did a few years ago, time flys, as Chesterbrook has changed. And we also need to feature all our local towns and villages and show you why living here is so wonderful.
Enjoy this video of Chesterbrook and keep your eyes peeled for a … (10 comments)

nick vandekar: Is your septic system flowing or is it blocked up?
- 03/15/18 02:39 PM
A few years ago we shot this video with TJ from Delaware Valley Septic about three reasons why you should inspect your septic system before you list your Main Line home for sale.
Many Main Line homes are on public water and sewer, but in some places like Penn Valley and Chester County have septic systems. A functioning septic system is a requirement for a mortgage. So before you list you want to know as much as possible so as not to run into problems with a sale.
Price quote in the video may be outdated but the points made are not.
Whether your home … (13 comments)

nick vandekar: Do You Really REALLY Love that Home??
- 03/14/18 10:44 AM
Our Tredyffrin Easttown real estate market is very hot right now at all price points. To be successful you need to not only make a winning bid but be pro- active where mortgages are concerned as well. Why not get not just pre-approved but get a full commitment barring the title and appraisal. What does it take simply making a full application and providing all the paperwork required by the mortgage provider. Then when you submit an offer we can make sure the listing agent realizes you are like a cash buyer. But it does require you to provide the lender with … (3 comments)

nick vandekar: How a real estate sign saved the day!
- 03/13/18 07:39 AM
Do real estate signs work ? You be the judge.
I was chatting with my friend Paul the Tredyffrin Easttown bee keeper yesterday and he told me this humorous story how a real estate sign saved the day.
Last year he had a swarm of bees that were in a holly bush out in the open. Not the best thing. And they did not want to move. Paul had tried everything he knew to encourage them to move into a hive or swarm box.
On the point of giving up, he saw lying around a real estate sign, "New Price" and as a joke he … (31 comments)
