The best compliment a home buyer or home seller can give me is contacting me when they are ready to move/put their home on the market again.  The next best compliment is referring me to others who are ready to move and need a great realtor.

A few years ago the owners of 1218 North Belgrade Road in Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD. enlisted me to sell their home.  Unfortunately the owners weren't getting the price that they wanted for selling the home so they asked me to also list the home for rent.  So I was able to find a renter for them. 

Roughly two years later the owners of 1218 North Belgrade Road remembered me and I asked me to list the home for sale again.  Fortunately we got sold results and the sellers could move on with the next phase in their lives.

Whenever you, a family member, friend or colleague  is thinking of selling, it would be my pleasure to come over and give you a free, confidential no obligation market analysis of your home.  I would love the opportunity to work hard for you and to get you sold results.  Even if you aren't thinking of selling, but have real estate questions any time, please give me a call or send me an email.

Life is good!

I found the buyer for this home at 14654 Bauer Drive in Rockville, MD.!

I help people make moves all over Maryland and in Washington, DC.  And, on the buying, I pride myself in having patience as people decide where they want to live and making sure they are picking the right house to call home.

These buyers considered several areas over their many year home search before we came across this wonderful condo style home in Townes of North Creek Condominium community in Rockville, MD, just off of Bauer Drive.  This is very near Aspen Hill, which is becoming an ever more popular area for home buyers.  It was an extremely well kept home and you wouldn't have known by the property condition or access to the home that the seller had been renting the home out.  The tenants were nice and neat.    This is a really nice community in a great location, very close to shopping and to a pool, near the Bauer Drive-Norbeck Road Intersection.  

This is a brick home with a large eat-in kitchen and a daylight walkout basement.  It also has a serene feel, with a nice fenced in patio.

One of the benefits of this community is that the monthly condo fee covers utilities and maintenance.  So, an owner doesn't have to budget for purchasing such items as an a.c. unit or hot water heater. In addition, the condo has a reserve fund for when such things as a roof need to be replaced.  It is really  unique, low maintenance situation for home owners and I am so happy that my clients now call 14654 Bauer Drive home.

By the way, any time one of your family members, friends or colleagues is considering making a move, the first thing they should do is contact me for a free, no hassle consultation.  I have patience and will make sure they make a great move with high service and low pressure.  Any time they have a question or want to talk about the real estate market, I am here for them.  I always appreciate and have time for your referrals.  Thanks!

Life is good!

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

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 with an AMAZING YARD at 12013 Kemp Mill Road in Springbrook Forest, a Subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.!

When these buyers approached me, they gave me very specific search parameters if they
were going to move.  They owned a town home and were ready for a single family home, if it had a very nice backyard and it was a nice fixer upper.  Like most town homes, they had a very small yard, which is good if you want low maintenance.  But, if you love the outdoors and you, your kids want to play outside, you need to go to the park.  There are several parks in the Silver Spring area but it is nice to have your own yard.  These clients also enjoy home improvement projects so they weren't turned away by old, outdated homes.

This home at 12013 Kemp Mill Road fit the bill perfectly.  While the home is on a "main street" it is very far set back, has a scenic feel and sits on just under an acre of land.  So it feels very private.  Beautiful yard, great play area and a great place to take photographs. One of my clients is a photographer.

The home also had a lot of charm and character but needed updating.  We learned through the home inspection of some big issues that had to be considered, and these issues definitely gave the buyers something to think about.  Fortunately, we were able to negotiate an amicable resolution with the sellers and it was a very pleasant transaction.

My clients love their home and have already done so much to it.  I am fortunate to also call them friends and it has been a delight coming over, watching the home transformation.  It almost feels like I am watching a realty show.  It is great seeing the smiles on their faces and how excited they are to have friends come over.

They should enjoy the home for many years and create many memories.

So, please, whenever you hear of family, friends and colleagues who are looking to move, no matter how wide or narrow their home search criteria is, I am here to guide them through the process and to make sure they get the homes of their dreams.  And, even if they aren't ready to move, aren't thinking about moving but have real estate questions, please pass my contact information to them.  It would be my pleasure to meet and speak with them.  I always appreciate and have time for your referrals.

Life is good!

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!

My recent co-op sale in Chevy Chase, MD!

 Cell:  (301)943-4370

Email:  adambashein@mris.com

www.basheinhomes.info

How many of you knew, before reading this blog post, that there is a co-op community in 
Chevy Chase, MD?  

During the home search my buyers, out of towners,  were looking for the most part at traditional single family homes.  Then, one day the came across this amazing co-op at 3575 Hamlet Place, located a little bit south of the beltway (495), just off of Connecticut Ave., nestled in a quiet community of 76 homes, called Hamlet Place.  I scheduled a tour of this 3 level home with the buyers. After going through the home and talking it over, the buyers realized that this home was a perfect fit.

Currently there are very few co-ops in Montgomery County, MD., and very few 
Montgomery County lenders and settlement companies do work on co-ops.  So, when my buyers decided that they wanted to pursue 3575 Hamlet Place, we had find a lender and settlement company who are co-op specialists.  Fortunately, these companies did good jobs.  It was a pretty smooth transaction and I would be comfortable working with them in the future.

This home is both spacious and has a very good flow. The main level features an 'L-shaped' connecting living room and dining. Great for entertaining. There is also a main level powder room, which is wonderful for the buyer's personal privacy...guests don't have to go upstairs into the bedroom area.  

Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, featuring a large master bedroom.  There is both a master bath and a hall bath.  In addition, there is an attic, which makes a great storage space.

The daylight walkout basement features a huge play area/rec area/sitting area. Just outside is a lovely flagstone patio for outdoor entertaining or a quiet outdoor candle light dinner.  There is also a powder room in the basement, which could be converted into a full bath if need be and a large laundry room.

The community itself features nice outdoor living spaces and is close to a trail.  Another nice feature about the Hamlet Place community is that their property management's office space is in the community itself.  So, it is easy to address any issues.

I wish my clients many years of happiness in this community and am thankful to my clients who referred them to me.  I am a full service realtor, licensed in MD and DC, and have helped people both in buying and selling in many neighborhoods.  

Any time you or someone you know is thinking of moving or has a real estate question, I would love to speak and help in any way possible.  I always have time for your referrals.

Thank you.

Life is good!

Testimonial from person who just purchased a home in Chevy Chase, MD

Cell:  (301)943-4370 Email:  adambashein@mris.com www.basheinhomes.info The best compliments I receive from people are using my services, referring me to others and writing testimonials.  This buyer moved in from out of town and asked her friends, who I sold a home to, to recommend a realtor.  I am flattered. Hi Adam,  I wrote this recommendation of your work that you can include on your profile.  Thanks,  Elana "We recently worked with Adam to find our home in Montgomery County. Adam was patient as we looked for a place that was the right fit for us, helpful in explaining the Maryland real estate scene and processes, and thorough and diligent in moving things forward once we were ready to make an offer.  It was great to celebrate with him at the settlement - he kindly brought bagels and made it a fun experience!"

Feb 12, 2015 Whenever a friend or family member of yours says that they are considering relocating or has a real estate question, your first move should be giving them my contact information and promising that I will take care great of them.  I always have time and greatly appreciate referrals.
