So, don’t screw it up.
Do you feel like you should rush out and buy this house?

There are a few things that have my shorts in a bunch… so, here they are. Careful. They’ve been brewing for a little while.
There is a house in my subdivision that has been under contract since February… that’s right, February. It will take six months if it closes on time. This house is listed with a flat-fee company. The listed price was reasonable (I’ll be curious what it actually sold for). When it went up for sale, it was a well kept house. Of course, now it looks pretty run down. The grass was cut once or twice, and is LOADED with weeds. It is actually a fight to get to the front door.

(This is a re-post of something I put in my forum last year.)
I’ve spent a large part of the day today working on behalf of a client that purchased a custom built home. While my official duties ended at closing a little over six months ago, I have continued to work with this buyer since that time to try to help ensure that the house we contracted to have built is as it should be.
This brings me to the point of today’s blog. Many times buyers that are looking at new homes don’t feel the need to have their own agent. “The nice people at the community’s office are so helpful,” etc. And, yes, they are. However,

Many people make improvements or modifications to their homes. Some are made to increase the livability of the house, other are made to increase its value. Still others are made to put the house back into working order.

Today’s blog will be looking at things from a little different perspective.
My wife and I are thinking of buying a new house. So, we’ve been out looking at houses. It’s tough. We like our house (like, not love) and we really like where we live. As we look around, we wonder if we really want to move. We definitely want more space. We have a three bedroom house and would like to have a four bedroom house. We have a two car garage, and really need more space there (I could fill a six car garage). The yard is a good size, and fenced, like we need it. Enough about that.
