What does all that real estate jargon really mean??

We’ve all seen the yard signs. “Waterfront Property!” ….. “Charming” … “Convenient Location”. But does it really mean what you think it does? Waterfront property… a lovely lake right outside your wrap-around porch? Or maybe it means the backyard floods.

We all take some liberties and embellish, don’t we? That fish was how big? And yes, we Realtors are sometimes guilty of the same. Hey, we have to sell all kinds of houses, right? The good, the bad and the ugly. But, this list is just for fun… so please don’t take it as gospel!

“Diamond in the rough” … Needs way too much work

“I’m beautiful inside” …. Butt-ugly on the outside

“Don’t curb appraise” … See #2

“Perfect for a walk-out basement” … Goat property

“Endless possibilities” …. Needs a bottomless checkbook

“Cozy” … Tiny!

“Charming” … Tiny!

“Great Starter Home” … 4 walls and a roof but not much else

“Low maintenance Yard” … Dirt

“Unique” … More butt-ugly

“Move in ready” … Very outdated, shag carpet anyone?

“Convenient location” … Backs up to I-65

Again, just for fun. Ready to go out and find your own “Diamond in the Rough”? Call me, I’ll find the perfect house for YOU!

Biggest Mistakes Homebuyers & Sellers Make

HGTV kindly compiled a list of the Biggest Real Estate Mistakes we all make. Here’s a condensed list of the worst offenders:

Buying a home for the decor – Keep in mind, the furniture won’t be there when you move in. Buy a house for the solid bones, not the fluff.

Buying an odd house – Chances are, you won’t stay in the house forever. That odd little quirk you love so much may make your house harder to sell down the road.

Not researching your agent – Please please please don’t hire your nephew with the new real estate licence to represent the biggest purchase of your life. Always hire a seasoned professional Realtor.

Not using a real estate agent – I know you think you can save a ton of money by selling the house yourself but study after study has shown that in the long run it actually costs you more money than hiring a Realtor.

Buying the most expensive home in the neighborhood – Never a good idea. If a house was overbuilt for the neighborhood, chances are you’ll have a harder time selling it later on.

Not hiring a professional inspector – This can be a very costly mistake. A good home inspector can spot major problems before they happen. Plus, if you write the contract contingent on that inspection, it gives you an out should the problems in the house prove to be more than you want to tackle.

These are just some of the highlights of the article. Always consult a professional Realtor when buying or selling a house. You’ll be glad you did!

5 Low and No Cost Ways Homeowners Can Save Money Now

There are lots of tips and tricks for homeowners to save money. Here are a few that cost you little to no money and you don’t need any special skills!

1. Lower the temperature on your water heater. It doesn’t need to be any higher than about 120 degrees for the average household.

2. Seal your doors and windows. Air leaks around your doors and windows are the equivalent of money flying out the window.

3. Lower the blinds. Is the sun shining in your windows in the summertime? Lower the blinds to keep the heat out. In the winter, raise them to let the sun help warm your home.

4. Use your ceiling fans. Most of us have ceiling fans that we don’t use. In the warmer months, turn your fan on low with the airflow directed down. In the cooler months, change the blade direction so the air blows up.

5. Hang up your laundry instead of using the dryer. Clothes dryers take a lot of energy. Cut costs by installing a laundry line or using a drying rack in the laundry room.
