Saturday, March 6 1-3</title><description><![CDATA[<p>This weekend is going to be a great weekend to get off that fence and out househunting.&nbsp; That is why I wanted to tell you about this open house I am hosting <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">this Saturday&nbsp; March 6th, from 1-3. </span></strong></p>
<p>This is a great home to consider.&nbsp; And what I like about this property is that the seller understands that the house needs some work and that your offer will reflect the work needed and <strong><em>SHE IS FINE WITH THAT!</em></strong> Yeah, that's right.&nbsp; She knows.&nbsp; So......do me a favor&nbsp; SPREAD THE WORD.&nbsp; And come on over yourself.&nbsp; Love to see you.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you are working with a realtor and they are unable to come, come anyway. Just&nbsp;log your name in with theirs and as always, we will honor them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;The tax incentive, you know the one....up to $8000 for 1st time home buyers, is still in effect but time is running out. You need to be in contract soon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>1. Tidy up kitchen cabinets.</p>
<p>Potential buyers do open kitchen cabinets and look inside. &nbsp;Try adding a rollout organizing trays so when buyers peek in, they feel like there&rsquo;s lots of room for their stuff.&nbsp;I know when I am showing a home to buyers, they love pull outs in the kitchen cabinets.&nbsp; It will bring a new life to your older cabinetry.</p>
<p>2.&nbsp; Add or Replace Tile.</p>
<p>By retiling very inexpensively, you make a room look way cleaner that it was.&nbsp; Stores like Lowes or Home Depot&nbsp;offer $1 to $2 tile. (sometimes less) Now you are paying for the low cost tiles and installation (if you are not a handy person).&nbsp; Remember, very important, know if you&nbsp;are truly handy at installing tile. If you are not best to hire someone. Use this tip to install a new backsplash&nbsp;or replace a backsplash in the kitchen.&nbsp; Again, my buyers, especially the experienced homebuyer, always love a backsplash. It is so ez to clean up and adds something to any kitchen area.&nbsp; You can also add this tip for bathrooms.&nbsp; However, word of caution, if your bathroom has old tile already, you may want to hire that job out.&nbsp; It is a bear removing old tile (been there, done that and got the T-shirt!</p>
<p>3.&nbsp; Add a breakfast bar.</p>
<p>When a wall separates a kitchen from a family room, suggest cutting out an opening to create a breakfast bar. Or in some homes, you may have a half wall or cutout already. Add a nice countertop and some chairs &amp; wahlaa.&nbsp; This can be done for as little as $500-600.</p>
<p>4.&nbsp; Freshen up a bathroom without retiling.</p>
<p>With a dated bathroom, I recommend putting in a new medicine cabinet for $100 to $150, light fixtures for about $100, a faucet for $50 to $75, and a vanity for $200 to $300.&nbsp;Instead of replacing the tile, the existing grout can be lightly scraped and regrouted, which leaves a haze that can be buffed out and will make the tile look brand new. Also install glass shower doors. A French door adds a lot of panache and elegance for about &nbsp;$250, and people will notice the door, not the tile. With all that, you&rsquo;ve done a bathroom remodel for $1,000 to $2,000.</p>
<p>5. Freshen up the basement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have cement block or poured concrete walls in the basement, I suggest&nbsp;you&nbsp;have a contractor fill in cracks with hydraulic cement and then paint with waterproofing paint. Try&nbsp;adding a top coat to add color.&nbsp;You can also paint the basement floor with a good floor paint, which spiffs it up. The basement may not be finished, but it&rsquo;s no longer a damp dungeon.</p>
<p>6.&nbsp; Add a room.</p>
<p>Look for large spaces that can be enclosed to create a new bedroom for just the price of creating a wall. I know someone who&nbsp;closed off a half-wall to an office and added a door to the other side of the room, thus creating another bedroom. That $400 procedure, which took a contractor one day, netted about $40,000 in the sales price.&nbsp;</p>
<p>7.&nbsp; Spruce up cabinet fronts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Are your kitchen cabinets tired looking? Try&nbsp;reconditioning which&nbsp;is the least expensive move for under $1,000. If the wood is starting to look shabby from use or contaminants in the air,&nbsp;take out the nicks and scratches, recondition it with oil, and put new hardware on. &nbsp;For $1,500 to $4,000,&nbsp;you can replace the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, and for $4,000 to $12,000, you can have all the cabinets refaced. With refacing,&nbsp;you can change the color of the cabinets by replacing the door and having a new skin put on the boxes. You could have&nbsp;oak cabinets today, cherry the next day.&nbsp; Joe and I have totally replaced cabinets in our kitchens (Joe a handyman for sure) The cost of the cabinets with redesigning the kitchen to give us more counter and cabinet space, new counter tops included&nbsp;was about $3500-$4000.&nbsp;</p>
<p>8 Replace light fixtures.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a foyer and in bathrooms and kitchens, replacing overhead light fixtures provides a lot of pop for a little money. If the kitchen has track lighting, have&nbsp;an electrician replace it with recessed canned lights on a dimmer switch to add ambience. It cost under $600. For about $700, you could have&nbsp;pendant lights installed over a kitchen island or peninsula. You will be surprised how it will modernize the kitchen.</p>
<p>9.&nbsp; Tech up the Garage.</p>
<p>Think about&nbsp;replacing the garage door opener with a remote touchpad entry system. That costs about $425 and makes it look like a high-end system. If you do not have a garage door opener, by all means consider getting one installed.</p>
<p>These tips can add thousands of dollars to the value of your house when you sell.&nbsp; If you are not selling, it will give you a new love for your home.&nbsp;</p>

The electronic bids are stored in the computer and at the appropriate time, the computer will automatically perform the calculations to determinethe apparent highest NET OFFER. HUD's Management and Marketing Contractors will confirm the winning bid and notify the Selling Broker to submit a signed sales contract.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now that is the technical terms and format for submitting an offer.&nbsp; Of course there are tasks you, as a buyer, need to do to prepare yourself to place an offer.&nbsp; You need to be pre-qualified by a HUD qualified lender.&nbsp; Not all lenders are accepted by HUD so you need to work with a qualified lender according to HUD guidelines.&nbsp; You need to place your offer through a HUD broker.&nbsp; Not all realtors are HUD&nbsp; brokers so it is best to find a HUD&nbsp; broker you are comfortable working with.&nbsp; Make certain that the professional you work with also can assist you should you decide not to buy through the HUD process. HUD homes allow you to have inspections however they are for your information only. So be prepared NOT to have repairs or adjustments negotiated.&nbsp; Remember, we are submitting an offer to a computer so there is no negotiating.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you would like more information on HUD Properties or are interested in buying a HUD home or Bank owned property, Carol <a href="mailto:Daniels@Creative">Daniels@Creative</a> Choice Realty is a HUD Broker.&nbsp; I would be happy to assist you.&nbsp; HUD Homes and bank owned properties are homes definitely worth considering when buying a home.&nbsp; You can reach Carol at 302-684-5904.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><link>http://www.thedanielsteam.com/Blog/How-To-Make-an-Offer-on-a-HUD-HOME</link><guid>http://www.thedanielsteam.com/Blog/How-To-Make-an-Offer-on-a-HUD-HOME</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:10:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>I MAY LOOK PETITE...BUT I AM SPACIOUS INSIDE.</title><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.thedanielsteam.com/property/140-Lotus-St-Dover-Delaware/i/192326/0/t?pid=" title="Front View " alt="quaint home by DAFB" style="float:left; padding:3px;" /><p>What a Charmer!

<p>&nbsp; Did you know&nbsp;you may qualify for <em><strong>100% financing</strong></em> when buying your home?&nbsp; Yes, that is right.&nbsp; This is a government program by the USDA Rural Development.&nbsp; The mortgage program is Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) loan and allows a lender to provide 100% financing. The borrower is required to make <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">NO DOWN PAYMENT</span></strong>, nor is mortgage insurance required since Rural Development is providing the lender with a guarantee against loss. Interested?&nbsp; Let me tell you more.....</p>
<p>It is a <strong>fixed rate</strong> loan for 30 years.&nbsp; Interest rates can vary from lender to lender&nbsp; There is no maximum mortgage limit. Your income and loan repayment ability will determine the maximum loan for which you qualify.&nbsp; There are income limits based on how many are in your family and the county in Delaware you are looking to buy a home.&nbsp; Not all areas in Delaware will qualify for this program so it is important that you, your Creative Choice Real Estate Professional and your lender talk about your needs, etc.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a brief guideline, if your family size is 1-4 adjusted income cannot exceed $89,500 in New Castle County, $74,050 in Kent and Sussex County.&nbsp; For families 5-8 in size, income for New Castle County cannot exceed $118,150 and $97,750 in Kent and Sussex County.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>To get more information on this Government Guaranteed Mortgage Program or to see if you qualify, <strong>contact Carol Daniels at 302-684-5904</strong> or email me at <a href="mailto:carol@creativechoicerealty.com">carol@creativechoicerealty.com</a>.&nbsp; I will provide you more information and have a qualified lender discuss your eligibility with you.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>By the way, interest rates can be as low as 1.5% fixed for 30 years!&nbsp; It is well worth seeing if you can use this program.</strong></em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As always, please, if you know anyone considering buying a home, pass this on to them with my personal information.&nbsp; I love your referrals and would love to be their realtor.</p>]]></description><link>http://www.thedanielsteam.com/Blog/Government-Program-Offers-100-Financing-Low-Interest-Rates</link><guid>http://www.thedanielsteam.com/Blog/Government-Program-Offers-100-Financing-Low-Interest-Rates</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:18:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
