Sometimes buyers meet with us and they have a tight and specific deadline for buying a house. Other times, they are looking to upgrade but have no specific time frame and are happy to wait for the right place to come along. We showed the buyers of 1598 New Scotland Road numerous homes over several years. Sometimes months would go by and we wouldn't hear from them. But when they found this house, they knew it was a great fit and acted decisively to make it their home. Whether you need to move next month or have an open ended goal, we will work at your pace with the focus on finding you the RIGHT home for your life. Thinking about buying this spring?

Ranches in Delmar are in short supply. As Bethlehem residents age, many of them want to downsize within the community and singe floor living is a big priority. Unfortunately the demand far outstrips the available inventory. It took our buyer several months and several rejected offers but we persevered and she ended up buying a lovely ranch on a great street. We are happy to know she feels settled in her new home and that it meets her needs. Looking to downsize this year? Let's chat

Successfully negotiating a contract is just the first part of the negotiation process. If structural issues are uncovered during the inspection, a second round of negotiations occur. Buyers have three choices when substantial defects are flagged: They can cancel the contract They can get repair estimates and ask the seller for a credit so they can fix the issues after closing They can ask the seller to fix the issues prior to closing Every situation is different and it’s important to have a trusted real estate professional on your team that will advise you on the best course of action.

Sometimes it takes sellers a while to decide they are ready to make a move. We talked to this client off and on over a few years as she thought about downsizing to apartment living. Finally, the time was right this fall and we swung into action. Well maintained and updated homes in convenient Delmar locations are always in high demand so we weren’t surprised that 19 Orchard St was under contract in 3 days. Even desirable homes need to be marketed to appeal to the right buyers and it’s important to highlight a property’s specific assets to best appeal to the buyers that are out there.
