Cash for DC Metro Caulkers. How much and when?
TAX DEDUCTIONS AND COMMON SENSE
Whoa! Check out the new roof!
We are all awaiting the new initiative. Even from a non recession point, this is a good thing for homeowners to spend a little time and money on. If someone told you to spend $500-1000 on your car and get significant better mileage, you would do that – right?
Keeping your home updated is part of responsible home ownership. There is more to that than just adding Stainless Steel Appliances and Granite counter tops. These to items are in many markets now considered standards. Certainly in the DC Metro Market.
Thank you HGTV!!!
That’s right, HGTV has for a few years been driving the look sellers swoon over when they remodel. The look the Property flippers and designers must have in order to sell. I don’t disagree that to get the very best price, looks are not deceiving! You have about 30-45 seconds to grab the attention and make a buyer fall in love. Talk about SPEED DATING!!
What we, as Realtors have realized is that these, HOME -FLIP- FLOP-HUNTER -SUPER SELLER -DESIGNER- AND-TRILLION- DOLLAR -LISTING SHOWS also push the bar higher for buyers.
GOING GREEN COSTS GREEN, BUT IT IS WORTH IT!
GREEN has become the new gold, both when you buy it and sell! The consumer is very savvy and way more educated than just a few years back. This is a blessing in disguise! No longer will you have to compete on Appliances, Kitchens and baths. Now you can get the hottest contract with the highest price by burning wood and going
TOTALLY TANKLESS!!! You can also isolate the attic and push out the Raccoons and Bats.
Install Radiant Heating just like at Grandma’s house?
HOW TO STAY IN FRONT OF THIS ALL
Sellers will constantly need to stay ahead of this curve to get maximum return on their homes. How do you do that? You have a great relationship with your Realtor. Have them be a sounding board for your fix up or renovation projects. Ask for stats and local ideas. Go look at a couple of houses in the area to get tips and ideas. If you do not have that kind of a relationship with a Real Estate Consultant, get it or find a new one. You should certainly ditch any Realtor who says:”I don’t have time for this right now’. Funny, they have time if you want to sell your home!
So, stand by and wait or just call me to come out and give you the 411 on what’s next in the green, design or just plain hot area!
I have the time, knowledge and stats to help you make the best choice for you!

Will tax incentive money go to ex-husband that owes back child support and his tax return is flagged?
You know, That is a really great question. I cannot proclaim to know the answer…. I’d check in with my
CPA and maybe even a tax attorney. Thank you for visiting my site.
