I am going to use a million points to open a small second-hand store. I am looking for a partner; if anyone is interested in collaborating with me to find merchandise, please don't hesitate to contact me. You may know the song They Call Me Second Hand Rose because I wear Second-hand Clothes. I have found some very stylish clothes and unique outfits in second-hand stores, including accessories, blouses, pins, scarves, and even a blazer and a skirt with a flowered pin, along with a vest and a jacket.  You might know people who are shopaholics, constantly shopping from one store to another. I have a neighbor who does the same thing. She still has items with tags on them. Many shopaholics buy clothes without trying them on in the store, or purchase Items online and never return them. These ...

I had young clients who were intent on buying a larger home. We looked for a long time, but due to the lack of inventory and their unwillingness to enter into a bidding war we were not being particularly successful.They had purchased a new construction townhome in Spring Oak in Malvern by J.P. Orleans with me several years ago and as their family grew they were now interested in buying a single family home. With four young children in tow we continued looking at homes. I suggested they look at the development they were in and see if the builder had any lots and models that they liked. Initially they were not in favor of this plan.Then suddenly, out of the blue they called me they had been walking past the model home and had gone in to see what sites were available. The site agent knew m...

This great home settled yesterday, my sellers love the neighborhood so much they bought a single family home in the same development, Spring Oak in Malvern which settles today.We negotiated for them to remain in the house for a few days so they can get the new house painted and the movers can pack everything up and move them next week.The buyers are happy as they moved to be closer to some friends who are now neighbors and for work relocation. This great neighborhood features a wonderful clubhouse and pool.If you need help selling or finding the perfect home, give me a call Nick Vandekar, Selling the Main Line and Chester County with Realty ONE Group Advocates, office phone 484-237-2055, cell or text 610-203-4543, Nick@VandekarTeam.com.

There is something exciting about buying a new construction home as opposed toa resale. One of these is making decisions on just about everything, the number of lights, fans, where to place connections for TV's, kitchen cabinetry, countertops, etc.For some it is just a matter of choosing the basic package with no upgrades. Other people go to town.Recently I have spoken to two owners who chose to select a home office over a third bedroom. This was an option offered  by the builder. But they just as easily could have used that third bedroom as an office and retained some added value.What the builder did in both cases was to remove the bedroom closet, making an additional closet in  the hallway, and changing the doors of the "office" to glass doors.Now, it is easy to convert these rooms ba...

Let's take a drive through Echo Beach in Bensalem. This community has a unique charm. People waved and said hello as we drove through the area, which is rare in many places. It's no wonder that families have made this place their home for generations. Even when sons and daughters move away, they often return to the enchanting atmosphere of Echo Beach. Perhaps it is so close to the water that it is what makes it so magical.   Despite being a hidden gem, many homes in the area have been handed down to family members, and many small and large properties, both old and new, are available. Echo Beach's proximity to I-95, SEPTA trains, and Amtrak makes it an accessible and sought-after location.Let's examine what is available for sale and what has been sold in Echo Beach in the last few months...

Sunday is Mother's Day, and many wonder what to purchase for Mom. Many of my friends are going to brunch or dinner, and some just plan a visit. Many will receive some perfume or a blouse. Perhaps a gift card will be accepted. Flowers are also very popular and beloved gifts. Today, I quickly stopped at Lou Farm Market for Cherry tomatoes for my pasta salad. Their selections of produce and freshly made food have been awe-inspiring in the last several months, as well as their prices.Their flower baskets, priced at $24.99, were the nicest I have seen this season. The section of lawn statues was exquisite and unique, and it would make a gift that would last many years. So if you want a special gift, check out Lou's Farm Market.    Lou's Farm Mart, located on Bristol Pike (Route 13) in Bensal...

The DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) Program is designed to help borrowers qualify for loans based on the cash flow generated by their investment properties rather than their personal income.Here are the main points: Qualification Criteria: Borrowers qualify based on the property's income, specifically the ratio of the property's net operating income to its debt service (loan payments). Loan Types: Typically used for investment properties, including residential and commercial real estate. Benefits: Allows investors to leverage the income from their properties to secure financing, potentially enabling them to expand their portfolios. Requirements: Properties must generate sufficient income to cover loan payments, usually with a DSCR of 1.00 or higher. Flexibility: Offers more flexible ...

Back in 2008, when the market tanked, I began using social media. It was free, and money was tight for most agents, as many had not expected what happened. I met a young Real estate mogul and started attending Real Estate Bar Camps, where I learned about a place called Active Rain.  There, I learned about finding a Niche and writing blogs on the Internet. They gave classes on how to write a market report and what people would be interested in. There was a guy Jeff Dowler, CRS who wrote market reports all the time, and I would read his in awe. Another person I learned from was the one who wrote incredible market reportsMichael Jacobs.  Some people say that market reports are boring, well, not to the public. You will receive many calls from buyers and sellers based on market reports.Soon,...
