We've moved, and finally found the house we've always wanted.  Searching took 6 months, thousands of dollars in travel expenses, and more patience than can be imagined.  Even my dear husband was weary of me by the time I found this one.  We almost bought three others, but between inspections and second thoughts, it just didn't work out. Being a Feng Shui master tends to make one picky.Then I walked into this house and it seemed to say, "It's about time you got here."  I knew it was the right house for us from the moment I walked in.  Not that it's perfect, nope...far from it.  But as they say, "It has good bones.".  The bones are a bit slanted in places, but... Mostly it's just quirky.  The floor has a bit of a slant in the hallway and bath, but since it's over 60 years old, that's unde... 01/20/2022

Judging from my own experience, I noticed that pictures of your property can increase the value of your house for sale. But your photos should be correct and impressive. If you send photos of your home online on your own, you definitely dream of impressing your buyers. It's clear that it’s much better to see the home than to listen to long descriptive stories about it. That’s why providing pictures plays an essential role in FSBO procedure of selling. And besides, offering pictures online is very convenient as you do not waste time on meeting your numerous buyers and showing them your property. You'll deal only with those who are really interested in buying your home. Of course, it'll be a great idea to ask a professional photographer to take pictures. These people know how to make your... 11/07/2009

How to Save 10% or More When Buying a House For most people, the buying their house is by far the biggest investment they will ever make. Most people also think of themselves as bargain hunters, able to find a good deal on any purchase they make. However, when purchasing a home, most people follow a path that leads to them paying full retail value for their home. You know how it’s done. You find a Realtor to show you the houses on the Multiple Listing Service, look at several houses with them and then make an offer on the house that you like the most in your price range. Most of the time, at your Realtor’s suggestion, that offer will be within 8-10% of the asking price, which was likely set at the appraised value of the home. If you’re lucky, that price is accepted. If you’re not lucky,... 10/28/2008

Here in Murray and Calloway County, KY, our real estate market has several factors that keep the market among the tops in Western Kentucky.  We have Murray State University, which provides home buyers and renters, along with many cultural and entertainment experiences. We also have beautiful Kentucky Lake and Land Between the Lakes, which provide a great atmosphere.  Combine all of this with a low cost of living and you have a GREAT place to live. As an attorney and real estate investor here in Murray, I have noticed that home sales have slowed somewhat over the past few months, mirroring the national economy.  We have been insulated here for several months but eventually the national economy is going to trickle down to us. I have also seen a rise in the number of foreclosures and pre-f... 09/16/2008
