Does anyone have any experience with Forino Developers?

Asked Mon Jul 14 2008, 18:07 by Dorothy - Reading - Home Buying - 6 answers

Chris Reed & Associates answered:

Cannot answer directly from personal experience but as an agent that works in new construction and builds new construction, one of the first things you might want to look at is there standard specification sheet. Almost all builders will have a spec sheet for their models and quick comparison with another builder will tell you some quality differences and well as some items that might cost you extra if you went with another builder. Bigger builders have the advantage of quantity but sometimes lack the quality because of lack of supervising among all the jobs. MIdsize builders will typically have good combination of both but still may lack some flexibility because of their larger size. Smaller builders may have a larger mark-up but they also may have better tracks land because they do not typically do developments. By using a smaller builder you could have a unique location and floorplan for close to the same price if not less. Just some food for thought. - Tue Jul 15 2008, 07:05

What's a pool worth?

Asked Tue Jun 3 2008, 20:35 by M.christo - Natomas Creek - Home Buying - 10 answers

Chris Reed & Associates answered:

The quick and dirty answer is that above ground pools normally detract value and inground pools ad value. This link is to a National Association of Realtors article that does a good job of giving a real explanantion in detail.

what is a CMA?

Asked Tue Jun 10 2008, 06:42 by Penny - All locations - Home Buying - 6 answers

Chris Reed & Associates answered:

Another valuable component of a Comparative Market Analysis is a valuation based on current homes for sale. Most home owners are looking for a CMA when they are considering selling a home. A CMA only showing previous sales could show higher values in a down market that is descending rapidly. By looking at current homes for sale you know your competition and which direction prices are moving. - Tue Jun 10 2008, 06:53

I need a realtor who specializes in forclosures/REO

Asked Tue Apr 8 2008, 16:43 by Pamela - 19027 - Foreclosure - 9 answers

Chris Reed & Associates answered:

Any agent can sell any foreclosure property. They are not listed differently, other than sometimes they say foreclosure or repo. Just be aware they are normally "as-is" and there is typically additional paperwork other than the Agreement of Sale which is waiving some rights and alerting you to situations surrounding reposesed and foreclosed properties. Don't believe marketing that leads you to believe they are a foreclosure expert because any agent can handle a foreclosure property. It is important to work with someone you are comfortable with and that will take the time to help you. Just be prepared to read every document and seek help if unsure of anything. Good luck. - Wed Jun 4 2008, 14:10

Can i do FSBO & Relator Listing simultaneously?

Asked Mon Jun 2 2008, 14:05 by Sb - Wexford - Home Selling - 6 answers

Chris Reed & Associates answered:

You could have an agent use a dual/variable commission setup whereby the agent would pay one commission rate if the property sold with the REALTOR and/or someone that you brought them and another commission would be paid if another REALTOR were to sell the property. Not many agents are open to doing things like this but if you are interested in getting multi list exposure give us a call and we can help you out. - Wed Jun 4 2008, 14:06
