Contingent Sales Market Report for Fairfield, AL A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post titled "Who Wants to Live in Fairfield, AL" and I provided a chart with the number of homes sales in Fairfield for the 6 month period ending July 31, 2018.  Well, that wasn't the end of the story of who wants to live in Fairfield and here's why:  There are currently (as of August 29, 2018) a number of homes under contingency contract which simply means that buyers have made offers on these homes and the sellers have accepted the offer.  However, it will not become a finalized contract until certain conditions (contingencies) have been met.  For example, the offer may be contingent upon the buyer conducting a home inspection.  If there are repair needs based on the home inspection, it could be continge... 08/30/2018

Sellers With Expired Listings Should Not Give Up Hope Your house has been on the market for quite some time and I can certainly understand your frustration. But just because your house did not sell, does not mean that it won't sell. I must mention upfront that I'm sure your real estate agent marketed your home to the best of their abilities so this is no disrespect to them.  However, it may be small things in the efforts of agents that make a big difference.  Here's some food for thought: Every agent has a sphere of influence which is basically people that we know, network and or socialize with.  Like everyone else, yourself included, we all have different spheres or connections.  When you change agents, you open up the scope and number of people that your home is exposed to. In essence... 05/05/2010

Sellers Have You Seen the Competition You're Up Against?

hat do you think of when you think about cleaning the lint out of your dryer? Pulling the lint catch out and wiping it off? Maybe trying to dust some of the lint off the edge of the lint trap casing? These are good starts, but there is a lot more to do to really capture and remove the lint and dust that could be doing damage to your clothes dryer, besides being a fire hazard.   The best way to remove all the lint is to think about the life it leads. The lint starts in the dryer itself, on your clothes. It then leaves through an exhaust pipe and is run towards the lint trap. A lot of the lint gets caught here, but some other portions of it sneak under or around the trap and continue on into the ducts that lead the hot air out of your house.   Now it's time to check this entire path to fi... 08/27/2008
