tredyffrin easttown realtor: Have Bump Keys Arrived In Your Area?
- 02/04/19 11:10 AM
Tredyffrin Easttown Homeowners should read this article below about home security before you become a victim!
I spoke with our Local Tredyffrin police department and whilst these are not being used currently to their knowledge. The fact they are being used with success in Washington DC, and they have heard reports of them being used in and around Philadelphia means as they said it won't be long before they are used everywhere.
So, changing your locks as Jay Markanich recommends to a Medeco lock may be worthwhile. Whilst we usually recommend to new homeowners to change their locks in future our recommendation will be to … (10 comments)

tredyffrin easttown realtor: Frigid, but great weather to look at homes
- 01/31/19 11:57 AM
In cold weather many buyers stay home in the warm. But this is great weather to look for homes and get an advantage over those who don't venture out. But you need a realtor who is not afraid of the cold.
Thursday is hiking day, well every day is hiking day. But Thursdays the Appalachian Mountain Club hosts a hike at Valley Forge Park, 6-7 miles. When I got up this morning, although it was blue skies, the temperature was zero degrees Fahrenheit. I was having second thoughts
I decided to go hiking anyway. So dressed in several layers, put some warmers in my gloves … (11 comments)

tredyffrin easttown realtor: Can you change your view?
- 01/22/19 06:34 AM
Real estate is often said to be all about location, location, location. I was reading something this morning which was talking about perspective and seeing things from a different perspective or view. It got me to thinking about changing your view or your location.
I realize also how we talk about things can change how people view things. I remember when I was at the doctor and discussing some test results a few years ago he presented them as "there is 30% or greater chance this is aggressive". That did not sound good. But later, when I thought about it, I thought so … (41 comments)

tredyffrin easttown realtor: Hakata Ramen and Sushi Wayne PA have you tried it yet?
- 01/18/19 08:55 AM
Last night we visited Hakata Ramen and Sushi in the Gateway Shopping Plaza in Tredyffrin Easttown. Here is what we thought.
This is a new restaurant, locally owned and the first Ramen restaurant in Tredyffrin Easttown. It is a BYOB, with pretty modern decor although there were some interesting design choices which jarred with the overall design. For example some old window frames with fake flowers which did not seem to agree with the mural on the wall by the open kitchen. Tables and chairs were not great quality, and one booth had you looking at the back of another bench.
How was … (13 comments)

tredyffrin easttown realtor: Where can I walk in Tredyffrin Easttown?
- 01/17/19 10:51 AM
Walking is such a basic thing, we can take it for granted. There are many people who suffer disabilities or due to ill health don't have the ability to walk. But for those who do and live in Tredyffrin Easttown you have a lot of options for places to walk. Some of the trails which are paved are also suitable for those who use wheel chairs, some are more rugged and not wheel chair accessible.
It is one of the things we love about the area. Some neighborhoods are better than others for walking. Although we have lived in three homes in the area, since … (7 comments)

tredyffrin easttown realtor: Waterfront property
- 01/16/19 01:37 PM
Usually the term waterfront property is an attractive term. Here it takes on a whole new meaning.
When I was walking the Camino Portugues last year I passed this house next to a river. My first thought was who would buy a home with water running through or underneath it. It was not the only home I saw with water running underneath it on the walk but it was the most extreme example. There was no indication this was a mill of some sort although it could have been and the mill apparatus was inside.
Buyers need to know everything about a property … (23 comments)

tredyffrin easttown realtor: Who will tell me not to buy?
- 01/15/19 08:37 AM
This story has been adapted to not reveal those mentioned. It is not located in PA or on the Main Line but it does contain a good moral worth remembering.
A client loved a particular home. They made an offer and their offer was accepted. It was an estate selling the home as is. Home inspections were arranged. Issues arose.
The home was riddled with mold. Water was getting into the basement. It was going to take extensive remediation to fix.There were also potential issues with the electrical wiring and the home inspector called for further investigation by an electrical contractor. However the … (31 comments)

Why isn't your home selling? How to get to SOLD!
Real estate is hot, it is a sellers market, we have all heard the reports, there is a lack of inventory and buyers are desperate to find homes. So why isn't your Tredyffrin Easttown, T/E, or Main Line home selling in this market?
As full time Tredyffrin Easttown and Main Line Realtors we have seen a change in the market since the summer months. This change happened as we entered June and July. And whilst historically this usually happens, it did not really pick up when September came as it did in the past.

tredyffrin easttown realtor: Moving to Tredyffrin Easttown
- 01/04/19 11:56 AM
Moving to Tredyffrin Easttown or T/E as locals call it.
We moved to this area almost 30 years ago and what attracted us was the school district. With three young boys we were looking for somewhere that we felt would provide a good education. Whilst that is a subjective thing to measure, the last few years have seen Niche rank Tredyffrin Easttown School District highly.
There are some things to understand about Tredyffrin Easttown School District. It is made up from two different townships, Tredyffrin Township, and Easttown Township who combined many years ago to provide a better level of education to the children between … (4 comments)

As a realtor my job is to help people buy and sell houses in Tredyffrin Easttown and along and around the Main Line. But it includes a responsibility to support our communities as well.

tredyffrin easttown realtor: 3 Reasons why your Main Line home might not be selling!
- 08/01/18 06:15 AM
I showed a home yesterday to some investor clients who are looking for a home to flip. We thought we had found a good contender and made an appointment to show the home. We got rejected because the agent could not meet us at the time we asked for, not sure why the agent had to be there, as the home was priced in the low 600's.
Strike 1, make your home easy to show!
Then I get an email from the agent, he is away at the moment, can we do later in the afternoon when he was going to have an … (6 comments)
