Can an outdated kitchen cost you time, money and possibly your dream home?

Homebuyers form their initial impression from the home's exterior, but what's the first thing they want to see once they go inside? Most of the time, it's the kitchen.

Kitchen updates are important to sell your home. If the kitchen isn't up-to-snuff, many buyers will look elsewhere for their dream house and sellers could be losing time or money on an unsold property due in part to its lack of appeal because it doesn’t meet all consumers' needs which is why updating kitchens should always happen before anything else!

Kitchens Sell Homes

When I ask buyers which rooms convinced them to buy a particular home, there's one overwhelmingly popular answer: the…

We receive a lot of questions from both buyers and sellers and one of them that has come up a couple of times is:

If I sign a listing agreement with a brokerage but pass away before any offers have occurred, is the contract binding on the heirs of the seller to continue offering the property for sale? 

If the same thing happens but with an offer situation, what are the rights of the buyer(s)?

Hi, I'm Frank Polsinello with the Polsinello Team at RE/MAX

What are the rights and options of the seller(s)?

Answer:

One that can be sometimes forgotten when buyers are being wooed by top-tier amenities and gorgeous kitchen details is transportation concerns around the home. When researching properties, it is recommended to consider not just the commute now, but what it may look like if the buyer changed jobs or how it might work for a future homeowner, should the buyer ever sell.

People with Shorter Commutes Are Happier

Before deciding an hour-long commute is an acceptable trade-off for a home with more space, buyers should consider what researchers have learned about commute time. There is a strong correlation between short, easy commutes and happiness. Researchers discovered that adding…

When you sign a residential listing agreement, it's usually a binding contract. Real estate agents list, market and show a property based on the assumption that they will get paid if they can find a buyer. Given that cancelling the contract cuts off the agent's opportunity to be paid, some agents won't walk away without a fight.

Pricing your home is one of the most important decisions you will make when selling it. Your asking price becomes equivalent to naming a starting point in negotiations, so getting this right can set up an opportunity for success that might otherwise go unnoticed or unappreciated by potential buyers who come across what they think are too-high prices even if those same homes are well priced!

To help prevent any surprises during a buyer's home hunt (and perhaps even entice more buyers), here are three common strategies:

Strategy #1: Price Below Market Value 

Pricing low can be an effective way to generate interest in your home, with the hopes that multiple Buyers want to make offers on it. You set up this "bidding war" by setting the price at…
