“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation.

Not every home sale is a success. Here’s how to ensure your next attempt is.

Have you had a failed home sale in the past? Maybe you didn’t receive any offers, had few showings, or a generally poor selling experience. If you’ve failed to sell in the past, that doesn’t mean you still can’t make it happen. I have three tips to share with you that will greatly increase your chances of selling the second time around:
1. Reevaluate your price. This is the key factor in ensuring your home sells quickly. Overpriced properties never get looks from savvy buyers or their agents because they won’t overpay. Take a look at the real-time market data in order to find a realistic price.

Overpriced properties get passed over often.

2. Reassess the condition of your home. Take the emotions out of it and look at your home through the eyes of a buyer. Is the home depersonalized and decluttered? Take a moment to step back and assess these things. It can be challenging to live in a home while you’re selling it, but making sure it's spotless when buyers walk through will help it sell much quicker.
3. Reinvigorate your marketing plan. There are multiple things you can do to ensure this. One way is by simply looking at the pictures that are used to present your home to the public online. Are they high-quality pictures? Do they capture the unique benefits and features of your property? If not, you need photos that do. Another way a great Realtor can help you is by being connected to other agents around town. If they are in a network where a lot of buyers are looking for homes, they will be able to get your home better foot traffic, more offers, and a higher sale price.

If you have any questions about this topic or anything else relating to real estate, give me a call or send me an email. I’m always glad to help out.

An Expert Answers Your Home Inspection FAQs

7 years geleden

—

Do you have some questions about home inspections? Today, I’ve got the answers. Stephen Reader of Reader Home Inspections is here today to answer a few commonly asked questions regarding home inspections. What is a home inspection? A home inspection involves a home inspector going from top to bottom through your house make sure it is in good shape. They’ll make sure the things you’ll be using every day within your house work, meaning your outlets, heating and air systems, cabinets, windows, etc. They check anything you think you’ll need to use or need to live comfortably and make sure its functioning properly. Who is a home inspector suited for? The most popular candidate is a buyer, but that’s not the only candidate. Sellers can ask home inspectors to perform pre-listing inspections so they can get an idea of what will come up when the buyer brings their own inspector. Home inspectors are also handy to inspect rental property you own but haven’t checked on in a while or a new house you bought but never had inspected. Home inspections can benefit buyers as well as sellers. Many people associate home inspections with the buyer’s side of the transaction, but the reality is they can benefit anyone. What’s one of the craziest things you’ve seen during your years as a home inspector? There was a shower that had a light switch inside of it, and instead of trying to move the light switch out of the shower, they put an exterior weather cover plate over it to try to make it waterproof. I want to thank Steve for joining me today. If you have any other questions about home inspections, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d be happy to speak with you.…

The 3 W's of Resale

7 years geleden

—

If you are thinking of selling, there are three steps you need to take to determine whether that is a sound decision. This applies whether you’ve owned your home for 12 months or 12 years. Recently, I received an interesting question from a past client: “I know we’ve only owned our home for less than a year. However, in light of the continued strength of the Nashville and surrounding areas’ markets, and the continued price appreciation, is a resale and a move something we should consider?” Basically, this boils down to whether reselling a property shortly after buying it is a good idea. Actually, I would approach this decision the same way I would when consulting anyone who’s thinking of selling a home. I’d like to break down my answer into three steps. First, you need to ask yourself why. Why is a move something you’re considering in the first place? Based on what they stated in their question, it sounds like the motivation from my past client comes from wanting to earn a profit. For others, it may be the desire to upsize, downsize, or get into a different school zone. No matter the reason, clarifying your “why” is the first step anyone should take in making this decision. After that, the second step is to consider the “what.” What would a home sale look like financially? What is a realistic sales price based on comparable properties in the area, and what is the realistic profit you could potentially make? A Realtor like myself can assist you with determining these numbers. "Whether you’ve owned your home for 12 months or 12 years, the steps are very similar." The third and final step is to ask yourself where you would go. You also need to ask yourself if you can make a move to a different area or home within your financial capacity. Whether you’ve owned your home for 12 months or 12 years, the steps are very similar. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.…

How Is Your Borrowing Power Affected By Interest Rate Fluctuations?

8 years geleden

—

Small changes in interest rates can reduce your borrowing power by as much as 10%. If you’re a homebuyer, small changes in interest rates can have a dramatic effect on how much money you can borrow. For example, let’s assume you want to maintain a monthly mortgage payment of approximately $1,150. Let’s also assume you want to take a 30-year loan. At an interest rate of 4%, you can borrow about $240,000. If that interest rate rose from 4% to 5%, your loan amount, to maintain the same monthly payment, would decrease to approximately $215,000. That’s an 11% to 12% reduction in borrowing power—all because of a tiny 1% rise in interest rates. This is a lesson I tell all my clients. This is a lesson I impart to all my clients, so beware of small changes in interest rates and how they impact your purchasing power. If you’re in the market to buy or sell a home, I would love the opportunity to earn your business, so don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to speaking with you.…

3 Tips for Homebuyers

8 years geleden

—

To help you navigate the market as a first-time homebuyer, I’ve got three tips for you. Buying a home can be an exciting but somewhat stressful time, and requires the buyer and the agent to coordinate well in order for it to be a success. I have come up with three tips that can help homebuyers navigate the market. 1. Know what you can afford. Buying a home is more than just a monthly principal and interest payment. There are closing costs, monthly insurance costs, taxes, maintenance expenses, and possibly even HOA dues. Make sure you thoroughly assess the true cost of homeownership, so that you can compare that to your income and purchase at a level that you are financially comfortable with. 2. Choose your lender wisely. Deciding on a lender should be more than just shopping for the lowest interest rate. Also consider closing costs associated with whichever loan you choose. A competent agent will understand your situation and be able to pair the right loan product with your specific needs. You can find the right agent and lender by looking online, speaking with family, or giving us a call. We work in the area every day and can help you make the right decisions when buying your home. Deciding on a lender should be more than just shopping for the lowest interest rate. 3. Don’t overlook the details. One example would be a home inspection. It may cost $300 to $400 upfront, but it could save you thousands down the road. Additionally, you need to make sure that you read the fine print on the contract. We as your agents want to make sure that you’re comfortable with paperwork and what it means to you in regards to the transaction. If you have any questions about this topic or you’re looking to buy or sell a home, give us a call. We’d be happy to help!…

5 Tips for Staging Your Home to Appeal to the Most Buyers

8 years geleden

—

What are some things you can do to help sell your home? Today I’ve laid out five staging tips for you to try. There are five simple things that you can do to help you sell your home quickly and for the most money possible: 1. The first impression is the only impression that matters. You want the outside, entryway, and foyer to be as welcoming as possible to buyers when they walk through your home. Declutter your foyer, freshen up the paint, trim back bushes, and put down fresh mulch outside. 2. Always be show ready. Take special effort before you leave for work to tidy up the kitchen and put away unnecessary items because you never know when a potential buyer will walk through the home while you’re away. Do your best to keep the home in a show-ready state. Do your best to keep your home in a show-ready state. 3. Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. There are some minor updates you can do to these rooms to make the home look as current as possible. These include a new coat of paint or update fixtures on the cabinets. 4. Take the home the out of the house. When you’re living in your home, you make changes to the home that appeal to yourself. When you sell your home, it becomes a house — a product that needs to appeal to the most buyers possible. Decluttering and depersonalizing your home is very important in that case. 5. Hire an informed agent. Hire someone who can price your home right and has an informed marketing plan so that you can sell your home quickly and for top dollar. If you have any other questions about this or any other real estate topics, or you’d like to buy or sell a home, give me a call. I’d be happy to help!…

What’s the Difference Between Home Inspections & Appraisals?

8 years geleden

—

Many homebuyers don't understand the difference between home inspections and appraisals. Today I’m here to explain the difference. What's the difference between a home inspection and an appraisal? Many potential homeowners get the two confused, not realizing that there is actually a big difference between them. The truth is, the two processes are done for very different reasons. First, we’ll discuss the appraisal. The primary purpose of an appraisal is to determine the value of a property. This is set in place to protect the lender. If the lender is going to originate a loan on a specific property and hold it as collateral, they want to know the reasonable value of the property in the current market. The truth is, the two processes are done for very different reasons. An appraiser is hired by the bank to visit the property and take note of the condition. They’ll then compare the property with other homes that have sold in the area with similar square footage and features. Ultimately, this is all done to assign the property a fair market value and protect the lender. Home inspections however, are for the benefit of the homebuyer. The buyer will hire a licensed inspector to examine and determine the condition of the property. A general inspector will check out the roof, the structure, the electrical components, and the plumbing to name a few things. This gives the future homeowner a clear picture of the condition of the home, preparing them for any potential future maintenance. If you have any questions about these two real estate processes, please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!…
