Maine Real Estate Tips: Repairs Part 2
October 18, 2010
As I recently wrote about, when you sell a house, the buyers will more than likely have a home inspection completed before they sign the contract. The inspector may turn up something that needs attention or repair, and after the inspection, the buyers may produce a list of items they want repaired as a condition for moving forward on the sale.
When you get the buyers’ list, remember that some…

Maine Home Buyers & Sellers ~ Negotiating Factors | Maine Waterfront Real Estate
October 15, 2010
Negotiations for the sale of your home can be affected by emotional factors. For example, it is easy to be offended by someone who is making an offer on your property. Even if the buyers love your house, they are trying to negotiate the best possible price and terms. They probably will not let you know how much they want your home until they have negotiated a purchase agreement.

Your kitchen can make or break a buyer’s decision to buy your house or not
October 8, 2010
Kitchens
It’s a tried and true theory- Buyers tend to have less interest in buying a home with outdated kitchens, whether they cook or not, and a well-done kitchen absolutely can sway a buyer’s decision. Savvy shoppers know the cost of a kitchen remodel keeps escalating.
Many kitchens don’t have to be gutted to work and look better. A few tweaks often can make it more enticing, such as:
- Go simple! Less cabinet ornamentation
- You don’t need granite! An attractive man-made stone countertop in a new white-white
- Use glass tiles! For example, a luminescent glass-tiled focal wall
- Go large! A floor tiled with 24-by-24-inch porcelain squares is modern and dramatic
- Modernize! Energy-efficient LED lamps in swank fixtures
- Think universal! For the aging population, having everything in easy reach is a plus
- Zones! Besides separate cooking, prepping, cleaning, and eating stations, kid areas are useful
My job is to help educate buyers about the latest trends that make sense for their lifestyle (and later for resale), and to help sellers know which changes attract the widest group of buyers.
