There are a lot of things a home inspection can reveal about a property that is not visible to the naked eye. Be sure to hire someone who comes with a good referral basis, who's been in the business a while, and who knows what to look for. Look up the American Society of Home Inspectors and get a list of qualified home inspectors in your area. Once you find an inspector, insist that they compile a written report, complete with photos. Photographs are important because there are areas a home inspector will go to that you might not look at.

Oh, but I do love a brick Ranch style home... this is one i sold back in 2017. Time for fun facts!

The ranch-style home, also known as the "rambler" or "California ranch," emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the growing desire for simplicity and functionality in residential design. Inspired by the casual lifestyle of western ranches, these homes embraced a single-story layout.

During the post-World War II era, ranch-style homes gained popularity, especially in the suburbs. Their open floor plans, practical layouts, and connection to nature perfectly complemented the suburban lifestyle. With spacious yards and a focus on family-oriented living, ranch-style homes became an embodiment of the American Dream.

In recent years, the ranch-style home has experienced a resurgence in popularity, attracting a new generation of homeowners who appreciate its unique character and practicality. With its single-story layout, easy accessibility, and potential for modern updates, the ranch-style home continues to captivate both nostalgic enthusiasts and contemporary design aficionados.

Where there is a time and a place for a 'lowball' offer, the time and place are 'rarely' and 'after careful thought.' A seasoned Realtor will be able to access market data that can be used for your benefit while writing an offer, such as the ratio of the sales price to the list price, to see if homes are selling below or above their price tags.

More often than not, lowballing makes your offer less likely to be accepted; and if too low, it can offend the sellers and their agent, which won't do you any favors. It's way more beneficial to offer a fair price and think through what would be attractive to the seller.

Want to get your offers accepted? Find a good Realtor, and listen to their advice. Give me a call if you're thinking about buying or selling; I'd be happy to chat!

Still thinking about this new construction Tudor that I sold in 2016... *sigh* It was stunning then, and it's stunning now. The classics are classics for a reason.

Oh, how I wish this was true! Some renovations will increase a home's value, and some, sadly, will decrease its value (like removing a bathroom or square footage). Other renovations simply bring your home up to market value. Always talk to a Realtor before doing pre-market renovations. Things as simple as landscaping, fresh paint, and modern right fixtures can do wonders for a potential buyer's first impression, but you need to have a good idea of what an appraiser is going to look at when determining value.

About to get out the tool box? Give me a ring before you knock down any walls to make sure you're getting your money's worth.
