 Who’s Watching? Who’s ListeningThere may be a camera or audio system set up to monitor activity inside when showing a house. When getting a listing signed in Maryland, the seller must disclose home security systems that record audio. But whether there is or is not this type of system, it is a good idea to show a house as though you were on camera. There should be nothing done or said inside a home that the seller should not see or hear. Personally, I like my listings with this type of security for the home and me. At the end of a showing, while I am turning the lights off, adjusting the curtains and shades, and checking the thermostat, I call or text the owner that we are leaving, ask if there is anything they want me to check in the house. With some of their systems, they can double-c...

    Winding up the year, I just realized this is the last advertising for 2020. It's been a challenging but also a good productive year.I am very proud of the list of satisfied buyers and sellers who have trusted me to find their dream home. They have gone through the stress of packing and moving and are now making new memories. Hopefully, they are filling their new home with love! Thinking about buying or selling your homeCall Margaret Rome410-530-2400

 Looking for a unique funky house in the Pikesville School System. This is the ad I ran many many years ago. The seller's home was under contract and they needed a new one immediately since she was expecting her first child and settlement was getting close. A call, from the above advertisement, was generated saying they had such a home but they were sure this was just another agent looking for listing inventory. My questions began: Where is your home located? Can you describe the layout? How much land? How much do you want? When can you move? I described my buyer, a local celebrity, and I went to visit the property. Walking into the home I knew it was right so I called the buyer and strongly suggested they meet me at the house now! The wife came but no spouse. He was sure the location w...

 Updating a bathroom may mean replacing a wall section when there are some worn or cracked tiles. Here is a clever idea from a New York traveler who collected some favorite tiles and used them to personalize an older bathroom. This is a bit of creativity that could also be applied in kitchens. There are so many tiles to choose from, and this is an inexpensive solution. Have you seen the tiles used in similar ways? Thinking of selling your homeCall Margaret Rome 410-5302400

 As many of you know, I host a live radio show every Sunday at noon. One of the things I continue to do is reach out and call my former clients to reminisce about their transactions. These wonderful people have bought and sold with me and made my life better. Letting them know how much I appreciate working with them is good for us both.Today's guest will be one of my favorite clients. Robert Pope. One of the things I love about Bob is his knowledge about buying and selling. He is up to date, follows the market, knows when new homes come on and when they go under contract. Think I will ask him how he searches. Bob and I have had four transactions. He has bought two properties and sold two properties with me in the past five or six years. He has offered to talk about real estate from the ...

  Seek, and ye shall find by googling.Looking for an article in the TRS magazine,  I typed in my name and came up with this page of stuff about yours truly.   Surprised, there was so much, but then when you think about being in Real Estate since 1990, blogging since 2006, and all the other things that go into this wonderful career, it made sense. Most of the articles lead back to ActiveRain.Have you checked out what is online about you lately? Thinking about selling your home? Call Margaret Rome

  It's not unusual to hear this statement, 'Let Me Know If You Get An Offer.'   Do I need to stay in touch with you to see if you are ready to write on one of my properties?My suggestion, let me know you are prepared to write, and I will let you know if there are other offers. I refuse to take the blame when your buyer loses out on the perfect house because they did not move quickly or decided to wait, or their REALTOR® did not follow up with the listing agent.  Another statement, "Why did you accept another offer when you knew my buyer was interested?" Again not my job to stay in close contact with you. Since I show my properties, it is unnecessary to call the agents to see if they showed up, what they think, ask them for feedback, or ask if they will offer. I was there; I answered que...

Easier than asking the neighbor When you buy a home in Baltimore County, it's pretty common to ask the seller or the neighbors about the trash schedule. There is a simpler way.  Go to Baltimore County, It's easy to put in your address and find when waste, recycling, and yard clippings are picked up.   When asked when is the trash day, there is no need to ask the neighbors.At least...not in Baltimore County. Do you know about trash pickup days in your neighborhood?

 Living in a home for many years, we tend to not look at it the same way. Maybe we go into a side door off the kitchen or go straight into the garage. I suggest you stop. Look at your house from the street. Can you even see it? Is it overgrown? Is it still inviting?   Look at the walkway, the front door, the mailbox, the yard, the garage doors, the shrubbery. We are talking by drive by and curb appeal.Remember that old saying; you only get one chance to make a first impression. When listing a home, I ask the owner to walk around their house with me. How do the windows look? The gutters?  Condition of trees? The siding? What does a buyer see when they first drive by or approach your main entrance?This is a good exercise even if you are not quite ready to sell.If the yard has been neglect...
