Home Selling Pitfalls

Christina Asad Edwards @ www.DaytonOhioHouse.com (Real Living Realty Services) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:24:53 -0500

Avoid these home selling pitfalls!

Don't just go with the agent who gives the highest value on the home. Conduct some research to verify the pricing, and consider looking at the competition.

Don't just assume that the agent who sold the house previously will be a good fit on the selling side. Interview more than one person to find out what each has to offer.

Don't ignore offers that don't meet the asking price. By not countering even low offers, the buyer may walk away.

Don't assume that the agent works full-time. Many do not, so be sure to ask.

Don't just accept everything the agent says. Get it in writing. Make sure he or she offers a written marketing plan. Also, understand that once you sign, it is a legal contract for the term agreed upon.

FIVE WAYS TO GO GREEN AT HOME

Christina Asad Edwards @ www.DaytonOhioHouse.com (Real Living Realty Services) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:50:49 -0500

Frank Wickstead, president of the Atlanta remodeling firm WicksteadWorks, suggests five of the fastest ways to turn your home into an eco-friendly environment.

Via Angel S. Brown (Keller Williams Preferred Properties):

From AJC.com

TOP FIVE WAYS TO GO GREEN AT HOME

Frank Wickstead, president of the Atlanta remodeling firm WicksteadWorks, suggests five of the fastest ways to turn your home into an eco-friendly environment.

> Switch to LED bulbs: "These bulbs are rapidly becoming more affordable," Wickstead said. "They're cooler; they use almost no electricity; and they have an unbelievably long lifespan." They're also ideal for cutting the cost of those outdoor lights you want to leave on all night.

> Add new attic insulation: "The best thing you can do for your house without tearing into the walls is to put open-cell spray foam insulation in the attic," said Wickstead. The brand Icynene is among the most popular that can be sprayed along the rafters to create an air barrier, making the attic part of the building envelope. But it's not particularly cheap: "For the average Atlanta attic, it will cost between $4,000 and $5,500," Wickstead said. "But you'll notice lower heating and cooling costs immediately."

> Encapsulate the crawlspace: This is a DIY project that will vastly improve the air quality in the house. Install a vapor barrier and insulated foam boards along the side walls to create a tight seal.

> Eliminate air exchanges: Any spot where warm or cool air is escaping is an energy drain. Most homeowners are familiar with weatherstripping around windows and doors, but what about electrical outlets? An ultracheap (about 15 cents) square of foam insulation behind a switch plate can plug the hole.

> Replace old toilets: "Dual flush toilets are awesome and they start at $260," Wickstead said. "They'll decrease water usage up to 30 percent, and it's something you can change out yourself."
