What You Don’t Know About Realtors

Some of the most common assumptions that buyers and sellers make about Realtors like me are that I’m too busy to help them, that I only deal in certain kinds of properties, and that I only buy and sell in specific areas.
The truth is, it doesn’t matter where you want to buy or sell your property, what kind of property it is, or what I’m doing; Realtors like myself just want to be of service to you. If I can’t be of service, I’ll refer you to someone who can. I’ve sold properties for as little as $40,000, including middle-of-the-road homes, duplexes, fixer-uppers, commercial properties and even a church, so my sales range is broad and diverse. If you’d like to get an idea about how wide my sales area is, you can take a look at Zillow right now and see all of the homes I’ve sold, their prices, and locations.
What I look for in my clients is that they have a need or a goal, that they’re willing to trust me, and that they’re willing to partner with me to get things done.
The best way to gauge a Realtor’s interest or expertise is to simply call them and see what kinds of questions they ask you. You’ll know right away whether they’re a good fit. Another step you can take is to ask a qualified Realtor to refer you to someone who can help you in the event that they cannot meet your needs. It’s always a good idea to do your research and use tools like Zillow to get background information on Realtors before you make a final decision.

Importance of the Right Real Estate Attorney

I wanted to talk today about how important it is to hire the right real estate attorney.

Too often, people hire a friend, discount corporate attorney, or an attorney who doesn't specialize in real estate. Hiring the wrong attorney almost always means slower response time, added stress and confusion, and it can ultimately cost you the deal.

I would go online and read reviews of attorneys, or better yet, ask your Realtor for three or four preferred real estate attorneys. That way, you could call and interview each one until you find the attorney that you're most comfortable with.

Once the Realtor has done their part and the home is under contract, the real estate attorney is crucial. They start and conclude attorney review, they negotiate inspection terms, they order the title and survey, deal with meeting or extending contingency dates and terms, and put the closing documents together. They do this for a small fee of anywhere between $1,200 and $2,000.

cost you thousands.
”

The question is - do they have the incentive, time, and human resources to get these major tasks done in a timely manner? Unnecessary delays can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. So please, hire an attorney who is skilled, responsive and proactive in your real estate transaction.

If you have any questions or you'd like me to recommend a great real estate attorney, please let me know, and I'd be happy to help.

If you have any questions about real estate in the New Jersey commuter towns, give me a call or send me an email and we'll talk soon.

Let’s Talk About Composting

Let’s talk about composting.

My wife and I got the idea of composting from a client of mine. We really loved the idea of recycling and also making our garden richer, and additionally, living a more eco-friendly life. My client used his compost to make his lawn greener. We wanted to use compost to replace our chemical lawn service, and also make our vegetables grow bigger and better.

We had things like coffee grinds and kitchen scraps, but no protein. We started by putting the kitchen scraps by the sink in a jar that has a special carbon fiber barrier to eliminate odors and keep it from smelling. Once the jar is filled, we bring it to the compost bin which has two sides - one for the old compost, and one for the new compost. We also add in grass clippings and greens from the garden, but no weeds.

fertilizer for our garden.
”

Once the compost is ready, we use it as a natural fertilizer for our garden. Other than making our soil richer, it’s also supposed to help the soil retain water, ward off plant diseases, and deter weed growth. We recently spread it in the garden, and I’m excited to share the results at the end of the season. If you have any questions, tips or ideas for composting, please let me know!

As always, if you have any questions about buying or selling a home in the New Jersey Commuter Towns, feel free to reach out to me.
