Chester County Main Line Home Buyers, Sellers Disconnect Financing The Fantasy
April 7th, 2009 categories: Chester County, Financial, First Time Home Buyers, Home Buyers
Home Ownership Dreams Fail To Pricing Fantasy
I spend my days and sometimes nights helping home buyers and home sellers with the 
purchase and sale of real estate. Even though we try to make it as easy and fun as possible, it’s work for everyone, the Buyers, their Buyer Agents, Sellers and the Listing Agent. I often remind my Seller clients that every offer to purchase is a compliment paid to the home Seller by the Buyers. Of all the homes on the market, the buyer chose yours!
Are Sellers Unrealistic Prices Making It Harder For Buyers to Buy?
Yes, in my experience and the experience of my Buyers, unrealistic prices are making it harder for buyers to buy.
Today’s Better Educated Home Buyers
The Consumers Guide To The Agreement of Sale that I provide free as a service to all of my Buyer Agent Clients, is a 35 page guide that gives a thorough review of each of the Agreement of Sale Clauses and choices about Home Inspection, Financing, inclusions, exclusions and the Sellers Disclosure Form that’s part of structuring an offer to purchase, or there should be.

Things To Do A Chester County Walk In The Park
March 9th, 2009 categories: A Realtors Life, Chester County, Chesterbrook, Fun Things To Do, Lifestyle
Chester County Pennsylvania~A Walk In The Park
Spring and the official Vernal Equinox , arrives March 20th 2009, and not a minute 
too soon, in my opinion, and yours too I imagine. These charming Johnny Jump Ups can be found along a path as one of our earliest signs of Spring together with Crocuses and Forsythia. Even in December if it’s warm, but not this year. If planted in a protected area, they’ll often reseed themselves.
A visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a great way to begin your Spring walking. Cezanne and Beyond – A Century of Great Artists Philadelphia Museum of Art – You will see more Cezanne and the artists Cezanne influenced, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art than if you went to Paris up to May 17th. This is an outstanding opportunity. Adults $14, Seniors $12, Children 12 and under Free.
*Birds chirping, a warm sunny day, Spring senses stirred and I begin to hear the call of the countryside. Chester County Pennsylvania Countryside to be specific. No one does a day in the country better than Chester County Pennsylvania.
*Try Longwood Gardens where you stroll either indoors or outdoors when you hear the call of Spring early as I do. Also, Valley Forge National Park has many places for a Spring walk, both natural and paved (keep in mind the Valley Forge Road Bridge closing for detours into the Park) .
