Another Silver Spring sale...buyers referred to me by a past client!

I am beyond thankful that the buyers of 11216 Monticello Ave in Kemp Mill, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD were referred to me by one of their local friends...who had also been referred to me several years ago when they needed to find a home...and they also bought in Kemp Mill.

The buyers made a decision to initially rent while getting a feel for the community and shortly after they made the initial move, we started looking at homes for sale, some of which were on the market and some of which I knew about and were not on the market yet.

11216 Monticello is really a 1 of kind home with several special features, including a garage, which is a premium for the neighborhood, 5 bedrooms on the upper level, a main level office plus several entertaining areas and a modern kitchen.  The basement boasts 2 additional bedrooms, a bath and recreation area.  On top of all of the home's features, it is in a great, close in location within Kemp Mill, a few blocks from the full service shopping center, a local bus stop, parks, community pools and houses of worship, to name a few items.

I wish them many years of happiness in their home and am delighted for them to practically be my neighbors, as I live in Kemp Mill.

Anytime a family member, friend or colleague tells you that they are looking to sell or buy a home, I am here to help. Either I can reach out to them and set up a time to speak or they can initiate the contact...whatever is most comfortable for them.  Call/Text/WhatsApp me:  (301)943-4370 or adambashein@gmail.com.   Even if they aren't looking to move and have real estate questions or want to talk about the market, it would be my pleasure to meet with them.

I always have time for and am thankful for their referrals.

Life is good!

Testimonial and Gesture from home seller

I have blessed with many kind words and testimonials from past clients but nothing like this.

Below is an email from my 11106 Bybee Street Seller.

So amazing and special.

I would love it if they buy a vacation home here. We really connected.

---------

Dear Adam,

Chag Pesach Sameach to you and Iris during this holy time of year.

Gee, it's been almost two weeks since I was last in Maryland. Seems I should (be) heading back there again now. But, thanks to all your outstanding work on my behalf, the work's all done and so I don't need to keep coming back.

Please accept these four Alaska Airlines Guest Passes as but a small token of my appreciation for all you did for me

Hopefully, you can use them to enjoy some fun R&R somewhere in the coming year.

Spring Break and high Summer can be difficult for flying standby, since DC is such tourist destination, but autumn and other off-season times can see flights with many open seats. I can gladly help you look at "Flight Loads", as needed.

Happy travels!

Fondly,

Paul & Beth Ann

Unfortunately the owner of the home passed away in the fall.  His son regularly came to the area to, of course visit his father and to check on the house.  As the son checked on the house and leafed through the mail he saw my marketing pieces and invited me to meet him toward the end of January.  We talked about the house, the local market, what I suggested should be done to the home and whether we would be a good fit for each other.

Two days later he gave me the key to the house as well as to the car in the driveway---in case it needed to be moved for any reason and I managed the agreed upon home repairs over the next weeks.  It was tricky because we were having 1 contractor take care of interior and exterior work while there was uneven weather, and understandably the contractor wanted to make the most efficient use of his time and come to the house when work could be done simultaneously inside and outside of the home.  At the same time, the contractor knew I wanted the house to go on the market right after President's Day Weekend and I needed to give the photographer enough lead time to take pictures without falling behind schedule.  Thank goodness the contractor did a great job and we were ready to go to market by our target date.

A few days before going to market, the owner's son and I talked.  I told him the work was done, the home looked ready to go, I was ready to put it on the market and gave him a final suggestion on what price we should list the home at.  

The home went on the market the Thursday morning after President's Day Weekend and I we had 8 showing requests that first day!

We had amazing traffic on the home the entire weekend including...

AT LEAST 20 GROUPS WHO SIGNED IN AT THE SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE!!!

Three agents contacted me and asked if their buyers could have home inspections prior to writing offers to eliminate any inspection contingencies in their offers.

I went to bed that Wednesday night with 9 offers in hand and a very detailed spread sheet of the offers for my seller to review.  Overnight the terms of some offers changed, a few more offers were submitted and there were more more showing requests.

The seller's son and I met late Thursday morning and he had a very difficult decision.  We had a few really good offers over asking price and 2 offers had no contingencies at all ---no inspection, financing or appraisal contingencies!  Just a clear path to closing.  

He thought over the offers and by Thursday night we were under contract and I had a few happy seller.

I am so grateful that my marketing efforts worked as they resulted in an introduction that I might have never received.  I never met or was referred to the late owner or his son.  Upon meeting we immediately connected.  He had complete confidence, trust and faith with everything I planned to do to give him sold results.  He was there whenever a question needed to be asked, whenever I followed up and he never tried to "manage me".  

In addition to marketing, I attribute so much of the success to date on the listing on the owner's son being enthusiastic, trusting, confident in me and giving me the liberties to do what I thought was best and, again, I will say without him every trying to be on top of me or managing me.   We are under contract and hopefully will go to a smooth contract.  

Whether you, a family member, friend or colleague at work is thinking about moving, has a real estate question or wants to talk about the market, please pass my contact information to them.  The best way to reach me is by cell/text/whatsapp:  (301)943-4370 or adambashein@gmail.com.  I would love to meet them, appreciate your referrals.

Life is good!

1005 North Belgrade Road! Another home sale in Kemp Mill, subdivision in Silver Spring, MD...tied to the appraisal of another home

I was honored and delighted to help a client recently complete the purchase of this 4 bedroom and office plus 2.5 bath rambler style home at 1005 North Belgrade Road in Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.  My client was referred to me.

Call:  (301)943-4370

 Most home sales have an interesting wrinkle and this one was no different.  In order for my client to complete the purchase of this home, there had to be what is known as a cash out refinance on another home.  Another home went through a refinance and had to appraise at a certain value in order for the buyer to have sufficient funding to buy this new home.  There was a challenge with the original appraisal of that home and I offered to meet another appraiser at the home to use my real estate expertise to show the appraiser where I came up with the value, hoping that the appraiser would agree with me.  I am a Silver Spring and Kemp Mill real estate expert so I was very confident in offering my assistance on meeting the appraiser in relation to the refinance cash out. Without this appraisal I wouldn't have been able to sell my client the new home.  In summary, in order to move, my buyer needed 2 homes to appraise.

Fortunately the appraiser agreed with me on the value of the home being refinanced and my buyer's new home also appraised fine, so my buyer was able to complete the purchase.  

Buying and selling a home is a complex process, often containing unique circumstances and/or criteria in order for the transactions to be successful. That is why it is so vital for home buyers and sellers to recognize the expertise and value of realtors and why I pride myself on being full service.  When you are looking to move, you need to look at the value as well as the cost of realtors and understand how he or she is going to help you through one of the biggest purchases/sales of your life.

Any time you hear of anyone, whether it is family, friends or colleagues say that they are thinking of  buying or selling a home, think of me and tell them I will give a free and confidential consultation.

Even if they aren't in the market to move but have real estate questions, have them contact me at (301)943-4370 or adambashein@gmail.com.  And, if they are out of town, I know agents around the globe and refer clients to them.   I am here to help ensure a smooth move and always have time for your referrals.

I just helped a family who needed more living space than an apartment but wasn't ready to buy yet

find a detached single family home to rent in Kemp Mill, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD

The home is a split foyer model, located at 904 Hoyt Street.  This corner lot home also has a garage, which is rare for the older homes in Kemp Mill.   This home is in a great location, with a public bus stop currently located around the corner on Arcola Ave, so easy metro access if one doesn't have a car. Though out of season right now, Parkland Pool is also very close. In addition the home is just a few blocks away from Kemp Mill Shopping Center.

904 Hoyt Street makes a great commuter home for people who use the metro or drive to work in DC and Virginia as it is close to the Red Line Wheaton Metro and to the beltway, Route 495.

While the majority of my business is helping people in selling and buying homes, I am here for all your real estate needs and was happy to help this client secure a rental property.  If you are ready to move and as a home owner aren't sure if you are ready to sell, I would be happy to discuss with you the positives and negatives of renting your home vs. selling it or selling it.  If you are moving from out of town into the area, unless you know the neighborhood very well, I suggest you rent first for 6-12 months before buying to make sure you are happy with what the community you are thinking of planting roots in and, at the same time, keeping your options open to explore other neighborhoods before buying.

Whenever you hear of a family member, friend or colleague who is thinking of moving, looking for guidance or has a real estate question, please think of me. I always have time for and appreciate your referrals.

Life is good!

Thank you!

Another Sale in Silver Spring, MD. This time with buyers coming in from a different country!

Cell:  (301)943-4370

adambashein@gmail.com

www.basheinhomes.info

Other than thinking of me for their next move, the best compliment a satisfied customer can give me is referring their friends and family to me.

The buyers of this home were referred to me by clients who purchased a home in Silver Spring, Maryland a couple of years ago.  In fact these buyers bought a home roughly a mile away from the clients who referred them to me.  They both now live in a subdivision in Silver Spring called Kemp Mill Estates. Talk about a small world!

These clients moved to the area from Israel.  With the several hour time difference between Maryland and Israel, we coordinated our phone calls at times when we would both be awake and available.

They moved to the area for a job and I was able to refer them to a good lender who is experienced working (1)with buyers who relocate from out of the country and (2)whose loan approval was based on the salary of the new job. 

They wanted to live in Kemp Mill Estates and the market there is very tight. Homes in that subdivision tend to sell quickly with multiple offers.  I was able to find my clients a nice home and got them a great value for the neighborhood.

I am flattered that past clients referred these clients to me and assure you that I will take great care of your friends and family, whether they are looking to buy or sell a home.  Any time you or someone you know is thinking of moving or has a real estate question, call or email me. I love hearing from you, always have time for and am grateful for the referrals.

Life is good!

11512 Lockhart Place in Kemp Mill Estates: Another sold home in Silver Spring, MD. Buyers referred by 1 of my satisfied customers!

Cell:  (301)943-4370

adambashein@mris.com

www.basheinhomes.info

 

 

One of the best compliments a client can give me is a referral.  

 

The buyers of 11512 Lockhart Place were referred to me by their brother and sister-in-law, 

 

who brought me in as their agent, to help them find a home. 

 

 

11512 Lockhart Place is almost perfectly situated in Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in

 

Silver Spring, MD.  The home is on a small and quiet 1 block street,

 

close to the center of the neighborhood.

 

The sellers lived in and loved this home for 38 years.  It was time for them to downsize. 

 

The market is hot.  My buyers  and I were able to get into the home very quickly and they

 

decided that the home was a great fit for them.  We wrote a strong offer and with a few details

 

were under contract in just a few days. Settlement was smooth.

 

 

 

 

 

Highlights of the home include having 4 bedrooms upstairs (which is rare in Kemp Mill), a

 

connecting living room and dining room, adjacent to the kitchen, which has a skylight and a

 

porch.  The lower level is a great recreation space.  The sellers added the custom fireplace.

 

The lower level gets plenty of daylight from the sliders to the backyard and the laundry is just a

 

few steps down, by the crawl space.  I wish these clients all the happiness in the world for many

 

years to come and am so grateful to their family members for the referral.

 

Any time you or someone you know is thinking of moving, has a real estate question or wants to

 

talk with the market, please pass my contact information to them.  I always have time and

 

greatly appreciate referrals.

 

Life is good!

712 Kersey Road in Silver Spring, MD. Sold and I found the buyer! Complex sale but it settled.

Call:  (301)943-4370

adambashein@mris.com

www.basheinhomes.info

 

Today one of my buyers closed on 712 Kersey Road,

one of the most desirable locations in Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.

In addition to being in a sought after part of Kemp Mill, 712 Kersey Road is part of the

cluster of homes built in Kemp Mill during the mid 1980's, so it is more unique and has more of

a contemporary feel than most of the homes in Kemp Mill, which were built in the late 1950's and early 1960's.  The location and style of home offset the home not having electricity and being full of clutter when it went on the market.  There were multiple offers on the home with esclation clauses and it went under contract in just a few days. Fortunately my buyers won the bidding war.

 

 

This home was listed as a short sale, meaning that the sellers of the home were asking their lender to

forgive the balance, if any between the sales price and the how much they owe on a loan.  I must give

kudos to the listing agent and short sale team for getting the short sale approved in a very short time period. In addition to this being a short sale, the seller was fending off bankruptsy so we depended on the court to ultimately approve the sale.  With the complexity of the sale I am amazed that we

settled in less than 3 months.  I have worked short sales that have taken 6 plus months.  I know the contract period seemed like forever for the buyers but for realtors who are selling homes every day, 712 Kersey Road was about as smooth and short of a sale as I could ever imagine, given the complexity of the sale. 

I was happy to be there for my buyers every step of the way and will be there every step of the way when you, your colleagues friends and family are ready to move.

If you or yours are thinking about moving, have a real estate question or want to talk about the market, please contact me any time.  I always appreciate and have time for your referrals.

Thank you!

I found the buyer for this For Sale By Owner at 11708 Fulham Street in Kemp Mill, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.!

Cell:  (301)943-4370

adambashein@mris.com

www.basheinhomes.info

One of my friends was moving out of town and trying to sell their home without a real estate agent.

They had told me that they would cooperate with me if I found a buyer for their home.  It is a beautifully and uniquely renovated home in the center of Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.  The home also has a rare detached 2 car garage.  Most homes in Kemp Mill Estates don't have garages.

So, I had a buyer consultation with my new clients in the beginning of June and we discussed this home at 11708 Fulham Street in the center of Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.  We went through this home 2 times and discussed the value of the home.  This may have been the most renovated split foyer home that I have seen and so, while we knew it was worth more than your typical and even nicely updated split foyer, it was hard to determine the value.   

So the appraiser came to look through the home, took notes and gave me plenty of time to discuss how everyone arrived at a price.  More and more appraisers are letting agents explain how a price/value was arrived at.  We continued to go forward toward settlement.

We had the home inspection and the home was in very good shape.  No home is perfect but the home was kept up very well.  We were able to come up with an amicable solution on inspection items that the buyers asked the sellers to address.

All in all, it was a pretty friendly and smooth transaction, especially considering that the sellers moved out of the country before settlement...but they were very accessible, easy to work with,

The buyers are delighted with their new home, excited to plant roots in the neighborhood after renting for several years.  It was a pleasure to work with them and negotiate a good deal with them.  Some home searches take months and years. In this case, it took a very short time because we found the right home and got the sellers to work with us toward a happy conclusion.

Any time one of your friends, family members or clients is thinking about moving, I would love to help them in there home search and find the home of their dreams.  Even if they aren't thinking about a move but have a real estate question, I'd love to talk.  As I always say, it is my please to speak with your friends, family members and colleagues and I always have time for your referrals.

Life is good!

I found the buyer for this home on 11229 Bybee Street in Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD!

Cell:  (301)943-4370

Email:  adambashein@mris.com

www.basheinhomes.info

My buyer's home search began a few years and we knew there was a match when this home came

on the market in the end of April, 2015.  With some homes you have the sense that they are meant for certain buyers and I had that sense for two reasons.  

The first reason is that my buyer's family lives in Kemp Mill, this Silver Spring subdivision and his parents own this same model home.  In addition, he is family oriented and the home is just a few blocks from where his parents live.

The second reason I felt this home was meant for my client is that it wasn't just a fixer upper, but the home was full of the seller's belongings.  It was an estate sale and when the home came on the market it was full of the seller's belongings.  Two things worked in my buyer's favor:  (1) again, he was familiar with the layout and (2) his family is in the renovation business so he and his father could look past the seller's belongings and focus on the home, its potential.   The selling party loved the fact that he is local, wanted to live near his parents and we had a very nice transaction.

My client is delighted with the home and is in the process of renovating it.  Living in the neighborhood and being friends with the buyer, it has been a pleasure watching him fix the home up.  I will be more excited when he finally moves in.

Whenever you come across a family member, friend or colleague that is looking to move, I promise to take great care of them with high service and low pressure, making sure it is a smooth move.  If they aren't looking to move but have real estate questions, want to talk about the market, it would be my pleasure to meet and speak with them.  I am always thankful and have time for your referrals.

Thanks!
