Real Estate Tip Tuesday 1. Lowball offers: Going far below market value when you make an offer damages your credibility as a buyer and can be insulting to the seller. The seller has a range in mind that they’ll accept, and if you’re not even approaching the low end of that range, they won’t even consider the offer. 2. Incremental negotiations: Don’t continue to go back to the seller with small increases in your offer ($1,000 or less). The constant back-and-forth can grow ...tiresome and lead the seller to consider other opportunities. 3. Take it or leave it: Try not to draw a line in the sand with your initial offer. The seller can get defensive and consider other offers if you immediately show that you’re unwilling to budge. Even if it’s true, don’t make a show of it. 4. Nitpicking after inspection: Obviously if inspection reveals a major issue, it should be factored into the final sale price. But insisting on a lower price for every minor repair can put negotiations in a stalemate. 5. Asking for more, more, more: Some buyers will request that the sellers throw in add-ons like furniture or appliances that weren’t included in the listing. Try to avoid giving the seller a reason to build up resentment and think that you’re being greedy. . . . .

Real Estate Tip Tuesday 1. No Credit is No Good. Having no credit can make a lender hesitant to work with you. If you’re hoping to qualify for a mortgage down the road, you’ll want to rectify that sooner rather than later. Open a credit card or two and make a few purchases on those cards so that you start building a record of using credit and paying it back on time. Over time, being diligent with payments on those cards can show a potential lender that you are a responsible...Continue reading

Real Estate Tip Tuesday . Smaller rooms can be difficult to decorate, because if you don’t know a few important tricks, the space can end up feeling a little claustrophobic. Here’s how you can keep a room feeling airy and spacious, even if it’s just a studio apartment or an attic. . 1. Breathing room. Your first inclination might be to arrange all your furniture flush against the walls. Though this may add a little extra room to move through the room, it’ll make everythin...g feel more crowded and congested. Instead, try arranging items at an angle, or pull them six inches away from the wall. . 2. Mirrors and strategic colors. Dark paint will make the room feel smaller. Instead, opt for whites, light grays, and other light colors. A well-placed mirror will also expand the room’s appearancethink of the times you’ve been in a restaurant and a mirror made the space look twice as large. . 3. Multi-purpose items. Look for storage everywhereyou can keep books and DVDs inside an ottoman, or store blankets in a bench or hollow coffee table. If you don’t have room for a dining table, you can invest in a coffee table with a pop-up section. . 4. Raise your window treatments. It’s common to hang your curtain rods just a few inches above your windows, but to make the ceilings appear taller, you can hang them just a few inches below the ceiling. It can have a dramatic effect. . 5. Swap out the sofa. The sofa is likely the biggest, most unwieldy item in your living room. What if you swapped it out for a settee or a pair of comfortable chairs? You won’t lose much in functional seating, but you’ll gain some precious space and room for foot traffic. . . . . . For any questions, give us a call at 951-244-3460! .

Choosing The Right Paint Finish . It can be intimidating to stand in front of the paint swatches at the paint or hardware store and try to make a decision. Picking a color can be difficult enoughand then you have to choose the finish. Choosing the color is up to you, but here’s a simple guide to choosing the correct finish for your project. . 1. High Gloss. High gloss paint has the most sheen, and will be the most durable. That durability is best suited for the kitchen, ...on surfaces like cabinets, door frames, and window trim. It’s best to avoid using high gloss on walls, because it will be too reflective. . 2. Semi-Gloss. It’s not as shiny as high gloss, but it’s still great for kitchens and bathrooms, because the sheen protects from drips, splatters, and other moisture. . 3. Satin. Satin has a velvet-like look, but is still a durable finish, and works best in high-traffic areas. Be careful when applying, because satin paint will reveal sloppy brush strokes. . 4. Eggshell and flat. These finishes have the least amount of sheen, and are the least durable. They’re great for hiding imperfections in your walls, but the low durability means they should be avoided if the room is subject to wear and tear from kids or pets. Use these paints in dining rooms, bedrooms, and other low-traffic rooms. . . . . For any questions, give us a call at 951-244-3460! .

Real Estate Tip Tuesday! . Many sellers may be tempted to select the highest offer they receive, but there are several other factors to consider. Here are five areas important to evaluate when reviewing offers. . 1. Down payment. The size of the down payment should be heavily considered when comparing offers. It is often tied to the size of the loan the buyer is taking out and a larger one indicates higher financial stability.... . 2. Earnest money deposit. The EMD is the sum of cash the buyer is willing to put up when the sales agreement is signed to show their high level of interest in purchasing the home. If they back out of the transaction without a good reason, the seller typical keeps it, and if the sale goes through, it typically goes towards their down payment. . 3. Contingencies. Contingencies are standard for most offers and outline the evaluations and appraisals that need to be completed before the sale is final, such as financing, appraisal, sale of current home, title, and home inspection. The fewer contingences, the higher the chance of reaching the closing table. . 4. All-cash offer. Not only does putting down an all-cash offer boost the likelihood of loan approval, but the buyer will not need an appraisal or financing contingency, reducing the chance of the sale falling through. . 5. Closing date. Consideration of the closing date differs for each seller. For example, if you have already purchased a new home, you may want to close quickly. But, if you are waiting on the money from the sale to start house hunting, you may be okay with a slower settlement. . . . . . . Legacy Realty, Inc.

Real Estate Tip Tuesday! . When you’re getting ready to list your home, it’s of the upmost importance to ensure you are showing it in the best light. Taking time to highlight its strengths and fix up some of its possible weaknesses can make a big difference in how fast it sells. Here are our top four recommended repairs to make before selling your home. . 1. Repaint walls. Giving your home a fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to spruce it up, and gen...erally, it can be a do-it-yourself project. Make sure cover any walls with scratches and chips and consider updating any accent walls with a more neutral coat. . 2. Repair floors. Hardwood floors are a very desirable feature in a home, so you want to ensure they look their best by fixing scratches or dull areas. If your carpet is worn or stained, consider replacing them. And don’t forget the tile in your kitchen or bathrooms. Re-grouting can go a long way in making dingy tile work look brand new! . 3. Refresh the landscaping. Show buyers your home is the full package by dressing up the outside as well as the in. Clean walkways and driveways, plant seasonal flowers and plants, trim hedges and trees, install outdoor décor pieces and fill in mulch and gravel. . 4. Fix your fixtures. Leaky faucet? Rusted drains? Loose drawer handle? Making these small fixes can make a big difference to potential buyers with detailed-orientated minds. Improve your kitchen. An outdated kitchen can be a real eyesore in a home. Updating cabinetry, repairing or replacing countertops, and installing new faucets and sinks may be worth the investment. . . . . . . . Legacy Realty, Inc.

Real Estate Tip Tuesday! . When you own your home, things are going to break and, unless you want to spend your money on visits from a neighborhood handyman, you’re going to need to fix them yourself. Luckily, you don’t need an arsenal of tools to handle most home maintenance fixes. These eight tools will cover most of your basic projects. . 1. Cordless drill. A cordless drill is a must-have for installing cabinets, drawer pulls, hinges, picture frames, shelves and hooks, ...and more. Whether it’s for do-it-yourself projects or repairs, you’ll use your cordless drill just about every month. . 2. Hammer. A hammer is absolutely necessary for hanging pictures, knocking together ready-to-assemble furniture, and building birdhouses. Choose a good quality hammer of the proper weight; you should be able to swing the hammer as if hitting a nail without undue difficulty, . 3. Screw Drivers. A high-quality screwdriver set is a must! The set should contain both small and large Philips and flat head screwdrivers. . 4. Wrenches. A small set of SAE wrenches, from " to " is necessary, as it is surprising how many nuts and bolts are around the home that will need a wrench to tighten. . 5. Plyers. Great for hard to reach areas. Use them to straighten bent power-cord plugs, replace old showerheads, slice wiring, and get a good grip on just about anything. . 6. Tape Measure. Whether you’re planning to measure for furniture, replace an installed appliance such as a wall oven, or looking to upgrade an entire room, a tape measure is right at the top of list of tools. . 7. Level. These hand-sized tools are must-haves for tasks varying from installing new kitchen cabinets to simply hanging a new picture frame. . 8. Drain cleaners. Shower and bathroom sink drains are susceptible to clogs because of the daily buildup of hair and whisker clippings. You can use chemical clog removers like Drano, but they’re expensive and the lingering chemical scent is unpleasant. Instead, buy some plastic drain cleaners that can reach into the drain to pull out the clog of hair and gunk. . . . . . . . Legacy Realty, Inc.
