Is there such a thing as getting "too many offers?" Something is going on here in the Manchester NH area that I want to share. Two homes on the same street go on the market near the same time. Same style, same age, same size and similar condition. Lets look at the first home. The Seller choose a Listing Agent that under priced the home at $310,000 to encourage a bidding war. They held all showings until a weekend open house. Held all offers until Monday at noon. They had well over 100 people through the home. They got 41 offers with the highest offer $30,000 over asking price.  Lets look at the second home. They chose a full service local agent who priced the home at market value. It was listed at $349,900. They started showings when the home was placed in MLS. They had 9 showings the f...

Interest rates skyrocketed last week. The amount of new listings hitting the market also increased. Spring is here which means if you were thinking of Selling your home, now is the time. The amount of homes on the market is actually less than last  year. Sale though, are strong and steady.  DOES IT MATTER WHICH REALTOR I USE?  The short answer is YES. It matters. There is great difference from one agent to agent another though. All agents are not created equally. Bigger is not better. Experience matters. Choose the Best agent not the biggest. Choose experience over not experienced. Choose Local over National. Please support locally owned businesses and chose us, your home town Realtor for 35 years who offers some of the most personal and professional service there can be. We stand by yo...

It is time for some tough talk in Real Estate. I get asked a few times a day, every day if "Now is the time to Buy or Sell a home?" The answer can differ depending on your needs and situation. What will not change are some facts. FOR HOME BUYERS:FIRST: It costs less to buy a home with a lower Interest rate and a higher sales price than a lower sales price and higher interest rate. Wait what? Lets look at the facts. Buy a home at $450,000 and a 3.875% interest rate and your Monthly payment (P & I) is approximately $2011.If prices go down and Interest rates go up. Buy a home at $425,000 and a 4.99% interest rate and your Monthly payment (P & I) is approximately $2165. (numbers used for estimate)SECOND: No matter what the media tells you, there are homes to purchase right now. It takes a g...

Spring is here which means if you were thinking of Selling your home, now is the time. The amount of homes on the market is actually less than last  year. Sale though, are strong and steady.

I get asked why I share stories with you? It is because usually there is a lesson involved. Usually that lesson is for a home seller or home buyer to learn so they do not repeat other consumers mistakes. Every listing, every meeting with a customer and every day gone by is a lesson for me. I do not get every listing i interview for. Being an independent agent, I am up against the biggest companies every day. Some sellers think bigger is better. They will listen to what I have to say, but still choose the big company agent. A couple asked me to stop by to discuss listing their home. They are retiring and moving South. They will spend summers in NH at their sons. I toured their home and answered their questions. The husband is ready to move now. The wife is not so ready to move. Then came...

The snow is melting and weather is warming up. What else is warming up is the Spring Real Estate Market. It is here!!! Now is the time to sell. Values are still up, but so are Interest rates.

Would you take the time to call a listing agent to ask them why they placed a certain picture in the MLS? I know I have far better things to do. Lets take a look at my Manchester NH area ESTATE SALE Listing. The Executor chose not to have it cleaned out and requested it be sold "AS IS" to a cash buyer with no contingencies. The home had been vacant a couple of months and people were in and out before the chose me to list with and secure it. Although given values to what it was worth after being cleaned and or fixed, the son lived out of town and had no money to do anything. He wanted it gone. He called one of those "We pay cash" buyers and they offered half of what we listed it for. It is a good thing he questioned the price calling me and introducing me to his estate lawyer. My thought...

The Manchester NH Real Estate Market is full of choices.  The biggest problem is that many would be Buyers and Sellers do not realize they have a choice. It leads to many questions such as: Who to hire? Is there a difference from one agent to another? Don't they all charge the same? Is bigger better? Should i hire a new agent? Does it really matter?The best two people to ask these questions to, is one who had a bad experience in their Real Estate transaction and one who had a great transaction. They will tell you, yes it matters who your hire. No all agents are not the same. No they do not all charge the same. No bigger is not better. Experience matters for everything and yes, it really matters who you hire to represent you for your Real Estate needs. WHAT MAKES AN AWESOME REAL ESTATE A...

I sure like to write, but usually not much about myself. Active Rain's challenge this month is write "about my story".  Let's take a look at the questions and my answers.  * Where were you born? Born and raised in Manchester NH where I have built one of the largest Independent Real Estate companies by focusing on great service.* What was your upbringing and how did that shape who you are? Being brought up in Manchester NH, a small city in NH, but thought of as quite suburban for many real city folks kept us isolated. Where neighbors were friendly, out going and welcoming. Brought up in a family with Real Estate roots, took the Real Estate class at 17 and took the test on my 18th Birthday. As the youngest Real Estate Agent in the State of NH, I was not welcomed by many big company agents...

If you need to "SELL YOUR HOME FAST" There is no need for you to get robbed. What are the options if I need to sell my property fast here in the Manchester NH area? There are many reasons a person may need to sell their home quick. After hearing about so many people who sold their homes for "too little" to buyers they found on places such as a sign on a telephone pole, on a Face Book ad or a fancy TV commercial saying they pay cash for homes. In the past few months I have spoke to people who lost their job and could not pay their mortgage. A couple who inherited a house in deplorable condition that they just wanted to get rid of. A couple getting divorce who went into foreclosure but have a great deal of equity. A son whose mom went into the nursing home and what was he going to do with...

Spring is around the corner being the last week of February. The snow has mostly melted and Buyers are out there looking for houses to buy.  We saw the most new listings hit the market in a week since late last summer. The Real Estate Market never really cooled for winter.  Interest rates are ticking up daily with inflation. The market is changing and if it ever mattered who you chose as a Realtor, it is now. DOES IT MATTER WHICH REALTOR I USE?  The short answer is YES. It matters. There is great difference from one agent to agent another though. All agents are not created equally. Bigger is not better. Experience matters. Choose the Best agent not the biggest.

I am sitting here scratching my head with a new trend of "making it so hard to see homes for sale" in the Manchester NH area. Does the Listing Agent know they are making it harder than it needs to be? Does the Home Seller know the listing agent is making it hard for buyers to see their property?  Lets take a look at some scenarios' i am facing right now, 1. A New Listing hits the market today. It is a vacant manufactured home. The Listing agent requires 24 hours notice for single broker showings. Also requires buyer agents to email them with a showing request. They say "no calls". *Why do they not use electronic showings such as showing time? 2. A New Listing that came on the market on Tuesday. A luxury home where the seller has already moved. However no showings until Thursday. No show...

With just two weeks of February left, Spring is on the horizon. Many Buyers and Sellers got their Valentine's Day gift of a new home. They listed now instead of waiting for spring. They also chose to Buy and Sell a home with me. It may not be spring yet, but the Real Estate Market sure feels like it. With the rise in Interest rates, Home Buyers are out there looking to purchase before rates go up again.  The market is changing and if it ever mattered who you chose as a Realtor, it is now. DOES IT MATTER WHICH REALTOR I USE?  The short answer is YES.

Every one wants to know "How is the Real Estate Market" here in the Manchester NH area? Although it is still February, the market is on fire. With the amount of buyers looking for homes you would think we were in the Spring Market. With the rise in Interest rates, Home Buyers are out there looking to purchase now, before rates go up again. There is still very few homes on the market. That makes now the time to List with us to get a good price and terms for your property.DOES IT MATTER WHICH REALTOR I USE?  The short answer is YES.
