About Me
Hello! You are looking at real estate sites, so you might be looking for a change in your life! I love change - and love to help people through the process of changing where they live. Houses have always fascinated me, and it is fun to see how different people live in their homes, and how they pick the perfect "new" home.

At the same time, I am a realist, and bring that realism to real estate transactions. In addition to promoting the positives of a seller's current property, I help them understand the impact of the negative aspects, and reduce their impact. For buyers, I first help them get approval for financing, and then focus on the best possible properties in their price range.

Mikey, Home Buyer in Wisconsin

Has anyone noticed listings having a much longer lead time for open houses?For example, it used to be

Susan Wesely answered:
I think so. It means the listing agent is thinking about the marketing on the property. It gives browsers and neighbors a chance to plan their visit. (Even though hose aren't the likely buyers, they may know someone...) Also, many MLS's feed other sites, and that takes time - sometimes days. Agents are trying to give the homes as much visibilty as possible. - Yesterday, 17:32
Patricia, Just Looking in Riverside

Does the buyer pay the broker fee when purchasing a home in MA?

Asked yesterday, 16:08 by Patricia  -  All locations  -  Home Buying  -  1 answer
Susan Wesely answered:
Do you mean commission, or broker admin fee? Unltimately you actually pay both of them. Even whrn the seller pays buyer agent commission, he generally takes that $$ out of the proceeds of the sale. Many places have a broker fee which is intended to cover admin costs at your Realtor's brokerage. In MN, you would pay that as part of your closing costs - and the seller would also pay one to his broker. At my brokerage, we waive one admin cost if we have 2 transactions with a buyer (perhaps he's also selling...) Sometimes your agent will pay the fee out of his commission - you can negotiate that. - Yesterday, 17:18
Suncrest, Home Buyer in Goodyear

We just relocated to Goodyear, AZ and we have been been looking at houses in the different areas of Goodyear.

Susan Wesely answered:
How long will you stay? If it's for several years, buy now and take advantage of the low prices and the low interest rates, and get into a long-term home. Remember, you never know where the bottom is until after it happens... - Yesterday, 17:10
Suzanne, Home Buyer in Bergen

Per Inspection report don't use fireplaces as they have gaps and voids that could cause sparks/fire

Asked yesterday, 16:47 by Suzanne  -  Bloomfield  -  Home Buying  -  6 answers
Susan Wesely answered:
Did your inspection contingency give the seller the right to repair? If so, and before your inspection period runs out, have your agent document those items AND the fixes you want - in writing, and deliver that to the sellers. There may be a standard form for this in your area, but if not, a blank amendment will do. Clearly state that the offer is contingent onthe repairs being made. They can then decide what to do - make the repairs or reject your offer or negotiate with you about what to do. If you really want the house, keep the list to a minimum and be prepared to deal with some fo the issues. (for example, thermostat needs wiggling - may be a loose wire...) best of luck - hope all goes well! - Yesterday, 17:08
