I hear it all of the time. Buyers do not want a house that requires too much work. Many want to be able to turn the key, and walk right in. What a wonderful feeling! It lasts for a period of months or years-until something finally goes wrong. Welcome to home ownership.

My husband and I had very little trouble for the first 4 years that we owned our current 30-year-old home. When we purchased, we were told that the roof was 7 years old, the appliances were relatively new, and we would not have to stain the cedar siding for a few years. We were happy.

My husband and I looked at quite a few houses before we settled on the house that we currently own. During that process, we saw several that could have worked for us. They were nice enough, but some were a little too dark, or felt cramped, or just didn't seem right in some other way. When I walked into my house, the rooms were spacious and it was bright. Even though it was vacant, it still felt very right for us-like home.

I just assisted a client in finding a great deal on this bank-owned property in Franklin, OH, and I can help you too. Feel free to contact me today!

I have an elephant's head on the side of one of my kitchen cabinets. I think that it is supposed to be a dish towel holder, but it is not just a little hook-it is a large elephant's head that takes up the width of the cabinet. It is brown, so it blends in with the cabinet, but we really should have asked the question when we first looked at the house, "Does this come with the house?" To take it down now would leave us with a ruined cabinet.

I noticed the house as it showed up for several of my buyers on auto-prospecting. There was one photo, and it made the house look like an absolute shack. To look at that photo, one would expect to see junky old cars sitting around, and maybe an old droopy clothesline hanging in the front yard. It was listed at $85,000 though, and it was very interesting to me.

I have many buyers right now who are looking for distressed properties, and I completely understand where they are coming from. The thought of buying a home for an inexpensive price and fixing it up appeals to many people. Instant equity is a wonderful thing!

For my investor clients, this is not a problem. They have cash, they want to keep offers super clean, and they can close quickly. They are ready to go and see the house as soon as it hits the market because they want to be first through the door. It is a thing of beauty.

I sold this property, and I would be happy to assist you in selling or purchasing a home as well. In fact, this property will be coming back on the market in late January/early February. Feel free to contact me today.
