home: DO NOT LOOK NOW but you may have a ZOMBIE House in your neighborhood.
- 10/26/16 11:03 PM
WHAT is a Zombie House? Simply put a home in Foreclosure that the Home Owner moves out, however the bank has not yet foreclosed. These homes go uncared for. The grass grows long, many are broken into and damage stacks up. A WHDH Channel 7 Special in Boston MA reported a 20% increase in such homes. We see them here in the Manchester NH area too. Lucky for you being a REO agent I get to document many of them and can share some of these never before seen pictures with you.

home: Should a Home Inspection be used to re-negotiate a sales contract?
- 08/12/15 09:36 PM
What is the Home Inspection suppose be used for? Most buyers, sellers and agents will tell you to check the structure, mechanical systems, roof, foundation and perhaps for pests. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the inspection period was not meant for "re-negotiating" your sales contract. Yet some Manchester NH home Buyers and their agents are thinking this and trying it.
They are coming up with lists both short and long asking for price reductions or credit back to the buyer for repair items. With a shortage of homes for sale in many markets, Sellers are saying NO. They have had enough leaving … (12 comments)

home: Home Inspector or Home Wrecker?
- 05/11/15 10:46 PM
A Home Inspectors words can make or break a sale despite if what they find is cosmetic, minor or major. They have the power to kill a sale with a few words despite what is reality or common sense. When a Home Inspector sees a 9 year old water heater, that is functioning properly with no signs of anything wrong with it and then states, "the average water heater has a life of about 10 years" can be shattering to a first time home buyer who takes it literally the water heater will last only 1 more year.

home: Where did the last 100 days go? A changing market with new challenges
- 04/29/15 11:08 PM
What is happeing in the Real Estate Market? It is a question I get asked daily. To say that the start of 2015 has been a whirlwind is an understatement. As in most areas there is a shortage of homes to sell with a steady amount of buyers looking to take advantage of the ultra low interest rates to buy their dream home. The record breaking winter slowed owner occupied buyers but investors bought anything and everything right through 8 feet of snow.
I set many goals for 2015. To purchase a new office building. To grow by adding agents. To increase the … (14 comments)

home: Why Cant Uncle Bob The Plumber in spare time fix the inspection items?
- 04/19/15 03:51 AM
Who decides who will fix any issues from a Home Inspection? Different parts of the country have different traditions. We have been getting a great deal of relocation Buyers to NH for our great jobs and fact there is no Income and No sales tax. With the new buyers, comes new thoughts how to handle home inspections. Many Home buyers have used the Inspection to re-negotiate the sales price.
In today's market though, there is a shortage of homes for sale in some markets with an ample amount of buyers ready, willing and able to buy. Many sellers are putting their foot … (24 comments)

home: WHAT do you do if a Home Inspection goes VERY Badly?
- 04/01/15 10:24 PM
What options does a Buyer or Seller have when a Home Inspection Fails? Not many inspections are flawless. However just because something is found does not always mean it FAILS or mean the inspection has gone badly. The inspection process can be eye opening. It can also be scary.
First thing the Inspection should identify items through facts. Inspectors should not guess or estimate and most important not be al alarmist. I like to inform my Home Buyers or the Seller when it is my listing what to expect from an inspection.
Most important each should know what to … (12 comments)

home: How long should a Home Inspection last?
- 03/30/15 10:20 PM
How much time is needed for a home inspection to be thought of as "done well"? I have been at 4 home inspections in the last 6 days, 3 as the listing agent and 1 as the buyer broker. They ranged from 75 minutes to 4 hours. When they are short buyers think they were not done well. When they are long, the buyers can think were too long. The FACTS are it depends on how big the home is, how old the home is and it's condition. Most important it depends on the Inspector you hired.

home: Is a Home Inspector a Savior or Deal Killer?
- 03/24/15 10:40 PM
The old joke is if you bring in 10 home inspectors you Will get 10 different reports. In reality this is not true, you may only get 5. One of the most important jobs in a Home Buyers eyes and one of the dreaded parts of selling by a Home Seller. The most important part of any inspection is identifying those safety issues that may not be seen with the naked eye. You will often hear me preach that all Real Estate agents are not the same, that also goes for Home Inspectors. I know some very good ones an then i just … (71 comments)

home: How do you know if a Home Buyer is REAL?
- 03/17/15 10:46 PM
Has a Home Seller ever told you they only want "REAL" Home Buyers to come see their home? Yesterday a Manchester NH area Home Seller tell me just that. Asking what he considered "Real", he said " you know, one that is ready to buy now and wont fool around with low offers or beat me up on price after a home inspection " Yes I did know what he meant and he most of heard stories from other home sellers on some area trends.
First of all i let him know my definition of a "Real" Buyer is one that is ready, … (27 comments)

home: How should a home be left after seller moves out just before closing
- 03/11/15 11:57 PM
What condition do you usually find homes in when you complete your final walk through just before closing after the seller has moved out? Most recently arriving for a final walk through where i was the buyer agent and a national company was the listing agents, the home was a disaster. Clothes. boxes, food, paper and even a couple broken chairs. Not the greeting we were expecting. Upon calling the listing agent, she asked "what we wanted her to do?" Well the contract calls for a broom clean condition home and the buyer will not close unless this is cleaned. … (16 comments)

home: Which is BETTER Deal when Buying - A new Home or existing home?
- 03/08/15 08:47 AM
If you were asked "What is the best Deal or Bargain, purchasing a NEW Home or Purchasing an Existing Home? This is what a Manchester NH area Buyer wanted to know and insisted on before going forward with their purchase. The problem is that the question is too vague. My answer is that it depends on the location, the condition of that existing home and over all the sales price of both homes.
Most often a new home is sold at market value. With a shortage of new construction homes as a whole, Builders do not have to sell for … (22 comments)

You may be asking "Why" such a firm question as my blog title this morning? It is no secret NH is buried in snow from this winter that wont end. With upwards to 6 to 7 feet on the ground in some areas, it is hard not to think of the snow. There is a big BUT though... March 1 is the "unofficial" start to the SPRING REAL ESTATE MARKET for New Hampshire. Sellers though, want to dwell on teh snow. They want to wait for warmer and dryer times. The PROBLEM is the Buyers are not waiting, they are here, … (6 comments)

Most days you live for the phone to ring, but when the seller of a home I showed calls me direct, i was not so sure i should have answered. She started screaming bloody murder demanding feedback from the showing. This Manchester NH area Home Owner did not take a breath asking if the buyer liked the home, if the buyer thought the price was right, if the buyer had any comments and when they were making an offer?
Finally able to speak I let her know my buyer appreciated being able to see her home and I would let her agent … (36 comments)
