tredyffrin easttown real estate: 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)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: 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)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: 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)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: 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)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: My buyer is under contract - 03/12/18 11:20 AM
The Tredyffrin Easttown real estate market has been very low on inventory at all price points. Every home coming on the market is being marketed to take advantage of this. Homes are going under contract in hours.
We had one client we had an appointment for this Friday evening and late afternoon, the home had only been listed in the morning, the listing agent called to say they had received two offers and the seller had accepted one of them so the appointment was cancelled.
Well, I was out with another client Friday evening, they had missed a couple of homes not understanding … (7 comments)

Today is Sunday and it is Sunny. 
I picked these roses up when I was at Produce Junction in Exton yesterday.  They  have a wonderful variety of flowers, fruit and vegetables and are great value.
With the sunlight coming in being reflected off the snow outside they help us believe that spring is not that far away now the clocks went forward last night.
 
We are waiting to hear if a client has got a home they submitted an offer on yesterday. Fingers crossed. If you are looking for or have a Tredyffrin Easttown home to sell contact Nick Vandekar, Tredyffrin Easttown … (7 comments)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: Valley Forge in Winter - 03/08/18 01:57 PM
At the birth of the nation after a battle at Brandywine where the British relentlessly pushed forward towards Philadelphia the defeated American Colonial Army retreated to Valley Forge to protect the crossings and regroup. It is a famous point in American History. Did the British realize how weak the Americans were and how easily they could have crushed them by bringing them to another fight? 
The lure of Philadelphia was too great, and while the Americans sheltered and reformed from a rag tag militia into an army. The British entered Philadelphia.
Eventually that newly formed army took on the might of an Empire … (21 comments)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: Choosing Your Loan Officer: Don't Short-Change Yourself - 03/07/18 02:26 PM
Love this post from Gene Mundt, IL/WI Mortgage Originator - FHA/VA/Conv/Jumbo/Portfolio/Refi on selecting a loan officer when getting your mortgage. This is most likely your largest purchase you will make, don't just think some online website is going to give you the best service. You need to do some research and make a selection before you ever start looking for homes so you have time to make an informed decision.
Read for yourself, in the same way selecting an agent to work with is also important for many of the same reasons.

tredyffrin easttown real estate: Power is back, sigh! - 03/05/18 12:06 PM
Trudy just called me at the office to say our power is back. Eureka!
We saw a tree firm going through our neighborhood and several township trucks earlier and heard the growling of big trucks as well over the hill. Then a little later, light and power, so now we can have hot water again.
 
Thank you PECO, one and a half days earlier than you estimated, really appreciate the effort you have put in getting these smaller outages cleared up.
 
 
Thank goodness. Normal operations are now being resumed!
 
Will be grilling this evening to cook what was defrosting slowly in our freezer. Anyone … (20 comments)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: Duh! - 03/05/18 07:03 AM
How stupid I feel. This is a statement, not a question.
I am in day 4 of being without power and still after pushing up the garage door, backing out I sit in the car pressing the garage door opener to close the door. Thinking to myself, another battery I need to replace. Duh!
Then I am going down to the garage or into a dark bedroom and flip the switch. Duh! There is no power, don't you know that yet?
It is amazing how we are programmed to do certain things without really thinking about them. We take them for granted or even … (11 comments)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: Paoli Battlefield a moment in history - 03/01/18 01:24 PM
It is late at night, a small group of American soldiers having fought the British at Brandywine are camped in Paoli, sleeping. The rest of the American forces are at Valley Forge protecting the fords. Silently the British approach, and in the dead of night with bayonets fixed. With a roar, they storm the camp.
"Remember the Paoli Massacre" was a Revolutionary battle cry. But what really happened. Our video with Sean Moir of Western Heritage Mapping explains the situation a little more.
History and historical homes are all around us in Tredyffrin Easttown. Today you can buy homes right where the Americans … (11 comments)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: Can't wait till the Weekend to see homes in this market! - 02/24/18 06:49 AM
I have several showings set up today with two different clients. Or at least I thought I did.
Late last night I got an email cancelling one of them, under contract. Properties are selling fast and buyers need to be aware that they cannot dawdle and wait till the weekend to see properties if they want to be successful in obtaining a home.
Hopefully the other showings will hold up and these clients will see something they like that does not have lots of offers...my joke to myself before I leave.
We love to help clients be successful and make sure they are educated … (15 comments)

tredyffrin easttown real estate: The Beginning of Devon and The Devon Inn - 02/23/18 02:23 PM
In January our business association, The Berwyn Devon Business and Professional Association hosted Michael Morrison, President of The King of Prussia Historical Society who gave a wonderful presentation about the beginning of the town of Devon and the History of the Devon Inn. This short clip gives an overview of the reason why Devon was formed and how the Inn came to be.
I always find it fascinating how a town or an area gets developed the way it does. There is so much history in our area with the Paoli Massacre, Valley Forge National Park where the Continental Army sheltered from … (5 comments)
