I have help my clients save thousands in the Poconos
2008-05-16 03:42:00
When it comes to purchasing "Your Pocono Home", it is important to choose the right "buyers'" agent. That first step is crucial. If you call someone on a home you see in a paper or magazine, that agent represents the seller, not you. It is IMPORTANT that you have a buyers' agent and meet with that person FIRST before even looking at homes. That person should have experience and testimonials from satisfied clients. You need to establish a relationship with your agent. Your Realtor is an expert in his field, listen to him or her. They will listen to your needs carefully and not waste your time or their own. A good buyers' agent knows how to structure an offer to save you money on the home you want. If you are looking to buy a home here in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, then you need to call me, Jason Feinman of Weichert,Realtors-Acclaim in Tannersville, PA at 570-242-0299.

Qualities Your Real Estate Agent Must Have
2008-05-16 03:39:00
Buying A Home, Selling A Home Probably the most important quality your real estate agent must have is being a full-time Real tor. Ask your agent if they have another job. You want to know that when you call your agent he or she can devote their full attention to you. You do not want to hear "Can I call you back in a minute?"", knowing that it will be hours before you hear from them. This can be crucial when negotiating a contract. If the buyer's agent doesn't stay on top of things, the seller can be looking at another contract that came in while the first buyer was waiting to hear back from his Realtor. So, the buyer could very well lose the house he or she fell in love with. You will want to have a home inspection and perhaps other inspections such as radon, lead paint, etc. You will want your agent to be able to attend the inspections, especially if by some chance, you cannot. Your agent must talk with you and your attorney about what y...

Going To The Dogs
2008-05-15 22:08:00
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." Dr Suess I must say that as it seems at this point in my life many things are changing. I guess you could say while some doors are closing others must be opening! One of the joys of selling real estate is meeting so many new people. One of the challenges is saying goodbye when they move on to other places. On the plus side I do have a great new listing on Kaye Street in Marquette. Just check out www.StephanieSells.com for info. So while I may be sad to see friends move away at least I got to meet them in the first place! I also will admit to shedding a tear when the Select Realty Tisket-a-Tasket Bid on a Big Give Basket Auction was over. I am overwhelmed at the generosity and creativity of our community. We raised over 15,500 for the Women's Center Capital Campaign. Over 150 people were able to join us and a good time was had by all. People are already asking to ...

Why Companies Relocate to Nevada
2008-05-15 03:58:00
Many companies are fleeing from California in order to escape the high cost of doing business there. Whereas Nevada 's business-friendly climate, conducive regulations, and unparalleled recreation and quality of life have been attracting businesses. In fact, Nevada has been seeing this influx of companies for several decades now, but it really didn't start gaining national media attention until 2003 as a great place to do business. This increased attention can be related to several different factors, including bold new marketing campaigns developed by EDAWN, a coalition of Nevada economic development organizations. The coalition has generated countless marketing campaigns that have bolstered attention, and has drawn business into Nevada in droves. Their recent campaign, "Missing," was somewhat of a spoof on several Californian icons that included the California Grizzly Bear, the happy California cows and the Golden Gate Bridge which all came up...

Understanding Local Real Estate Markets
2008-05-15 03:55:00
Every couple of decades, the country experiences an explosion in real estate sale. The economy is on the rise, interest rates are low, and employment is up. These among other factors are the reason why we experienced our latest boom. However, when real estate is going up throughout the country, it's very easy to get caught up in the idea that we're looking at an entire real estate market. This idea has been further fueled by the media. The fact of the mater is that there is not one single real estate market, but that there are instead small individual markets at a local level. Although there are some national and even global events that can affect each and every market, they are not the only contributors to market changes. The factors that have the largest effect on individual markets are almost always going to occur at a local level Every market is unique, and it's this uniqueness that is going to cause people to either buy in a particular area or...

Make your home scream, "Own Me."
2008-05-15 03:53:00
Although proper interior design is important when selling your home, with the amount of inventory available today it is almost imperative. Using modern design ideas will allow buyers to visualize their new life in your home. Staying on top of what today's buyers are looking for in their next home will increase your odds of selling your home for top dollar. Here are just a few things to consider when deciding on interior decor: <img src="http://www.sellingnorthernnv.com/ima ges/modern_liv_rm.jpg" height="137" align="left" alt=" " width="249" />Buyers are no longer looking for elaborate designs. Today's buyer wants to live in home with leek leather furniture with simple shapes. People today want to have room to breath. This means fewer accessories and more open furniture. Rooms should be well designed but useful. The bulk of the buyers in the market today are the Baby Boomers. They are looking for homes that reflect what they grew up with. Thin...

Repairing Your Credit and Identifying Credit Scams
2008-05-15 03:51:00
Many people every year get taken advantage of by thousands of scam artists that prey on distressed consumers in need of credit repair. They advertise that for a fee, they can wipe your slate clean. In 1997, the Credit Repair Organizations (CRO) Act was passed to put guidelines on what these businesses can do. However, many still choose to ignore it, and can potentially get you into not only financial trouble, but also criminal trouble. For example, a relatively new scam out there is being called file segregation. The way it works is the credit-repair agency will show you how to obtain an employee-identification number (substitutes for a Social Security Number). Once obtained, they instruct you to use this new number to apply for new credit, normally using different addresses and phone number to make it difficult for the creditor to link to your last identity. This in essence creates a false identity with a new credit history, which is a felony. Al...

Real Estate Investments through Self-Directed IRAs
2008-05-15 03:45:00
Most brokerages limit the type of investments you're allowed to buy in your IRA. If you're interested in including real estate as part of your IRA to diversify your portfolio, you may want to consider creating a self-directed IRA. It is not an entirely complicated process once you do your research on the subject, but you must follow the laws regarding a self-directed IRA or face penalties. If you decide to go this route, be prepared for a lot of "due diligence." As with any real estate transaction, this can be a very lucrative investment. But without proper research and knowledge of the real estate market, you can place yourself in a very risky situation (see <a href="http://www.sellingnorthernnv.com/20 07/05/have-plan-to-often-people-work.html ">Beginner Tips for the Real Estate Investor</a>) . Your best bet is to first of all make sure to enlist the aid of professionals, knowledgeable in this type of transaction. However, it is also ve...

Profit with “fixer uppers” in today’s slow market
2008-05-15 03:40:00
In today's market, investing in rentals or other long term housing may not be a smart decision. However, there are plenty of homes out there in need of minor TLC that could easily turn you a quick profit as long as they have the following characteristics. 1. Look for a three or four bedroom home with a good foundation, without any need for major renovation other than cosmetic fix-up. Try and avoid two-bedroom homes as they will be harder to sell in today's market. 2. Location is key. You want to ensure the property you buy isn't negatively affected by the surrounding area. You can turn the ugliest home into an eye charmer, but you can't change things like crime rate, noise pollution, and run-down neighborhoods. 3. You should never put a nickel into a house if you don't plan on getting at least a dime out of it. Improvements like fresh paint inside and/or out, new light fixtures, new carpet and/or flooring, and landscaping are relatively inexp...

Pricing your home right
2008-05-15 03:34:00
Pricing your home right Although many sellers will disagree, the only factor that determines your home's selling value if what a qualified buyer is willing to pay for it. Regardless of Appraisal value, assessed value, etc., if there isn't a buyer willing to pay that amount, your home simply won't sell. If you are looking to sell your home, you need to change your way of thinking. It's not what you think the home is worth that matters, it's what a reasonable buyer will think your home is worth that does. Even though every buyer is looking to buy a home for a little as possible, they also understand that you as the seller have no obligation to sell your home at just any price. They will have to make you an offer that you are willing to accept. On the other side of the coin however, buyer's are under no obligation to buy any particular home for any price. Regardless of the amount of marketing your agent does or improvements to the home you make,...

Home maintenance check list
2008-05-15 03:30:00
Whether you're a first time home owner or a seasoned vet, here is a short check list of things you should be doing that'll prevent large problems down the road: Furnace Filters: You should be changing your filters monthly during the winter season. By doing so, you eliminate the risk of having a clogged filter that will not only decrease your furnace's efficiency, but also any excess strain on the blower unit. Water heater: One more chore to put on your spring cleaning list should be to drain your water heater every year. Sediment has a tendency to build up over the year inside your water heater. By draining your water heater, you remove the majority of this sediment which can prolong the lifespan of your water heater. Check ing for leaks: From time to time, you should make a habit of poking your head underneath your sinks to check for leaks or water stains. If you catch these leaks early, you can avoid having to deal with extensive water damag...

Go Green and Save Some Dough

Although you may not think it, but 21% of the green house gas emissions produced in the united states come from everyday household energy usage. By implementing cost efficient energy saving techniques, you can help reduce these emissions while saving money at the same time. <img src="http://www.sellingnorthernnv.com/ima ges/IgnitionSuite_Image(1121).jpg"> Improving your homes efficiency Compact fluorescent light bulbs last up to 10 times longer, produce 75 percent less heat, and still produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb with only 25 percent as much energy usage.
