It was a pleasure helping my buyers get a fantastic deal on their home purchase at 11718 Kemp Mill Road, in Silver Spring, MD.  They needed a bigger home, in a very specific part of the neighborhood and everything worked out perectly.  When we came to an agreement on terms with the seller, I thought it was a great value for my buyers and this was confirmed by the home appraisal coming in significantly above the sales price. 

 

These were strong buyers, which helped in the negotiations.  They were able to get approved for a loan for the sales price without having to sell their current home.  Many buyers who are moving from one home to another home want their home purchase to be contigent on selling their current home.  Fortunately, my buyers made their offer more attractive by not having a home sale contingency. 

 

This would be a great home both for a first time home buyer, who has the resources to get in the price range and a perfect home for a move up buyers.  Featuers inside the home include 3 main level living spaces; a main level laundry area; 4 bedrooms upstairs and a large basement with a rough in for a bathroom.  Outside is a large level back yard and a storage shed.  There is plenty of parking with this long two car wide driveway plus carport.  My buyers should be blessed with many memories at 11718 Kemp Mill Road.

An interesting observation and discussion at this morning's office meeting. 

Agents have been noticing more price reductions lately in rental properties.  It could be that the properties are overpriced; it could be a property condition issue; it could be that it isn't prime rental season though people move all the time for a variety of reasons and it could have something to do with the low interest rates.  Have you seen the rates lately, over the last couple of years compared with the early to mid 2000's?!  Some investors are worried that would-be renters are tempted and/or able to buy homes with the great interest rates. 

Have you ever noticed that the higher interest rates are, the higher the asking prices tend to be for rentals? 
While there are situations when one cannot buy, shouldn't you get ahead of the game and buy now with low rates?

If you don't, you could be somebody who keeps investors happy because when rates hit a certain point, the monthly payments might not be where you are comfortable and/or able to make a purchase.  The only good renter is mine :-).

If you or someone you know is thinking about relocating, whether it is buying or selling, he/she wants to talk about the market and/or has a real estate question, contact me today. I always have time for and really appreciate support, interest and referrals.

Life is good!

Another Silver Spring, MD Sale by Adam Bashein - 628 Kenbrook Drive in Kemp Mill.

It was my pleasure helping my buyers secure this beautiful split foyer in Kemp Mill, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.  This is one of the larger split foyer models in the neighborhood with both a main level dining room and living room (which also makes a good main level recreation space).  In addition, this home features a large walkout basement.

 

This home is in a fantastic location, very close to the local Kemp Mill Shopping Center as well as other nearby supermarkets and malls.  As far as recreation, there are parks nearby.  This also makes for a great commuter home, being near a local public bus stop, a few minutes away from the Wheaton Red Line Metro Stop and close to Route 495 - easy to commute within MD, to Washington, DC and Virginia. 

 

The buyers had specific wants and needs, and I was fortunately able to negotiate a good deal for them.  The home was on the market for just over 2 weeks and had a pretty active open house.

 

 

Whenever you are thinking of moving or know of someone who is thinking of moving, I would love to meet, discuss wants and needs and take them through a smooth buying/selling process. It would be my pleasure to hear from you any time you or your family, friends have a real estate question or you want to know about the market activity in your neighborhood, other areas.

The importance of being on a united front, even in an "unpleasant situation" when selling

A little over a year ago, one of my buyers put a contract on a home that was a short sale. Regretfully, it was a divorce--the sellers were getting divorced. Only the husband was on the title. He wanted to sell and listed the home for sale with a realtor. His soon to be ex wife was in the house and didn't want to move. Apparently she didn't want to the sale.   She must have found some amazing lawyer and/or there was a sympathic judge, because she went to court and successfully blocked the sale.  The contract was voided.  I am curious how she won, considering she wasn't on the title.

 

This home is now back on the market... as a foreclosure.  The question that begs to be asked is if  the seller's soon to be ex really thought the seller would keep up with mortgage payments, so she could continue living in the home and not be forced to move?  If she wanted to/intended to stay in the home, didn't she realize she would probably have to take over the mortgage payments and have a legal document drafted, addressing the ownership of the home, payment so the woman could live there as long as she wanted (if she was responsible in taking care of the mortgage) and the seller could go on with his life, with this house off of his books?  I am sure there are other possible ways that the situation could have been handled but I don't know many of the facts and I am not an attorney.

Divorce is sad and can be ugly. I mean, even if both owners were on the title, it could have been complex selling the house, if 1 of them didn't want to sell, they didn't agree to a price, didn't agree how to divide proceeds if the home sold, etc.

Easier said than done, but you have to sometimes take the emotions out of it and deal with the task at hand, find a solution.

Otherwise it is a lose lose. The man now has a foreclosure on his record losing his house for nothing and the woman had to find a new place to live.

We have to be ready for all twists and turns in life.  My biggest hope is that all parties hear talked to real estate attorneys who discussed with them in advance the implications for cooperating and not cooperating in the sale of the home. 

 

 

Whenever you or someone you know is thinking of moving, I would love to speak.  I would love for you all to also feel free to call/email whenever you have a real estate question or want to talk about the market. I appreciate and always have time for your referrals.

 

Thanks!

Sold and I found the buyer...Beautiful townhome in Olney, MD - James Creek

One of the most rewarded compliments a realtor can get is when a colleague refers him or her to buyers/sellers.  These buyers were referred to me last summer and they recently settled on their first home...this beautiful townhome in an Olney subdivision called James Creek.  This townhome was built in the 1990s and is in wonderful condition.  The entire home is updated, included a wonderful kitchen. 

 

 

I hope these buyers will enjoy many years in their new home.

 

 

Anytime you or someone you know is thinking of moving, think of me. I serve all of Maryland and Washington, DC.  Even if you aren't in the market, but have a real estate question, I would love to talk.

 

Thanks!

Some home searches involve very specific types of needs in both model and location.  And, by location, I don't just mean city or subdivision.  This home is a rare, with 4 main level bedrooms and was also in very close proximatey to a destination that the buyers wanted/needed to be in.  The home search took years and I am so happy for the buyers that we came across a home that was a great match for their wants and needs.

 


Whenever you, your family or friends or thinking of moving, think of me.  I will guide you every step of the way, whether the buying/selling process takes a few weeks, a few months or even a few years.  As long as you are a ready, willing and able buyer, motivated to move with focussed wants and needs, I am here for you.  Even if you aren't in the market but have a real estate question, let's talk.

Thanks!
