About Me
Conducting real estate transactions is a challenge; mentally, physically, and emotionally. A challenge I love! Attending to every detail is vital. The money issues are important, but you have to really love the part where you help someone. That's what I'm all about.

Maria Morton answered:
Mike, I'm in Kansas City; if you were here, I'd be happy to help you with your questions. Since you're in Maryland, you could find a realtor there to help you find answers to all your questions. Just look online, in the Yellow Pages, or even at the real estate signs in the yards of the neighborhood you are interested in for a contact phone number. - Earlier today
Maria Morton answered:
The home inspector would be a good person to ask about the structural damage by the carpenter ants. He should have noted this on his report. Most of the inspectors I work with are willing to answer any questions regarding a home they have recently inspected.

Your agent can assist you in getting the wording for terms just right. Also, consider paying for a repeat inspection after the sellers have made their repairs. - Earlier today
Maria Morton answered:
My experience with buyers now is that they are cautious. Those buyers who are truly motivated to move now due to life changes are also tending to view more homes than in years past prior to making a decision. The "buying mood" tends to be stimulated by new jobs, children leaving the family home, divorce, and a desire for condo owners to have a garden or a dog. - Earlier today
Maria Morton answered:
Your wisest course of action is to get a buyer's agent to help you determine value, write the contract and negotiate with the bank. The seller (bank) can require you to be pre-approved through them but you are not obligated to use them to secure your mortgage. Your agent can assist with helping you find the best mortgage for you. Not the bank. The bank does not care about you and their addenda will be lengthy and disadvantageous to any buyer. - Earlier today
Maria Morton answered:
Scott, I disagree. The listing agent is representing the seller. A smart buyer will have their agent do all of the work, including gathering the information. - Earlier today
John,

this is a 4 bedroom/2.5 bath listed for $113,900. It is an REO. Your number does not appear. If your daughter is not already working with an agent, have her get in touch with me. 816.560.3758. MariaMorton@ReeceAndNichols.com - Sun Nov 16 2008, 11:49
