I have been selling Real Estate since the mid-seventies and remember in my training when obtaining my license hearing the statement “there will always be a need for housing since it provides for life’s basic needs”. Basic needs meaning shelter, water and personal hygiene. [...]
Many continue using incandescent light bulbs, a statement that could be uttered for the last 130 years. It was past due time to replace these heat and energy generating bulbs with bulbs that are much more energy efficient. [...]
Are you interested in selling your home but not sure what your home is worth? Having an appraisal done will give you that answer. It is important to price your home competitively so that it will sell in a reasonable time period.[...]
One of the most often asked questions is: “what is your price per square foot”? Lenders, appraisers, real estate agents all use the term “price per square foot” but when you build a new home you cannot in all fairness compare homes by that criterion.[...]
