Come to My Open House!


One of the things I do as a Realtor is hold open houses. This weekend I am having one and everyone is invited!


My listing is at 105 Golden Eagle Drive in Camillus, ML#S245960. If you look it up on http://cnyhomes.com/ or http://remax.com/ or http://cnyrealtor.com/ you will be able to see more pictures and a further description. Try my website, too: http://megbrooks.nys.mlxchange.com. It is really a lovely home!


Some agents don't do open houses, but I love them. I love sitting in my listings and soaking up the atmosphere. Especially in winter, in a home like this one, I can sit by the fire and watch the kids play outside. I was speaking with a friend today whose home is listed on Otisco Lake, and we laughed about my first open house there that took place in a driving rainstorm. Not a window shook, and it was almost eerie being inside and watching the world blow by outside, like in a movie. Think The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy sees the Wicked Witch riding by....


The open house this weekend is especially exciting, because the house really is priced to sell. Everyone who has seen it says that the price is right - $279,000 - and the owners are very realistic in their expectations. It's not much over the assessed value or that much more than they paid for it a few years ago. They realize that the world has changed, and prices have come down.


So come along on Sunday, from 1:00 to 3:00. It is very easy to find - Route 5 in Camillus to Ike Dixon, then one mile exactly to Falcon Nest (don't you love the names?) Turn left, and enter the driveway from Pigeon Roost. I'll have signs up to point the way. Tell me you read about this on my blog and I will be thrilled!

20 Ways to Rent Out Your Home Faster

Image
While running a successful rental marketing company and renting out my numerous rental properties. I have picked up a few tricks along the way. Below are 20 ways you can rent out your home faster  (There are plenty more ideas and if you have some please comment and I can add to the list): 1) Pricing Matters There are many ways to price your home competitively in the marketplace. Some tools to help you along the way are: RentSlicer.com, RentOmeter.com and Oodle.com 2) The time of the Month Counts The best times to gain a tenant are March, April, May, June, July and August. These are the main months when renters move due to seasons, schools, etc. 3) Throw some Make-up On Have you ever toured a model home for sale? What do you notice? Are there magnets on the fridge? Are there clothes in the hamper? Are the walls scratched? The answer is no. Why? This is what sells homes. Touch up with paint and remove all clutter and you will see a big difference. 4) Replace Light bulbs and Fixtures ...

Skaneateles Real Estate - The Weekly Update

Here we go! It's the start of something big! Currently, in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service there are 160 homes active on the market. This number seems to have held steady over the past few weeks, while the number of homes marked contingent or pending has increased slightly. Of the 6 new homes that have come on the market, 2 are re-lists and 3 are waterfront. Waterfront continues to sell and do very well this year. There are also 3 properties marked contingent this past week: 1 residential, 1 waterfront, and 1 for the die-hard investor who got a good deal, I think. The price had come down steadily - until it's last listing was about 60 % of the original price. There are now 30 closed properties this year. The latest is a village property which sold at a reduction of 12% of its original price. Last week I wondered about reducing all homes by 10% to sell them - and I think this is in part a validation of that assumption. I had a wonderful comment about ...

Skaneateles Real Estate - The Weekly Update

Last Friday I returned from Manhattan in the morning.  I had just gone down on Thursday morning planning to come back the same night, but I was concerned about the flooding I had seen on the drive.  I stayed over, got a quick walk in on Riverside, then started home.  I flew out of the city easily - the Henry Hudson is so fast and uncomplicated in the morning! - but found myself sitting in traffic on 81 in Binghamton.  I listened to the reports:  the Governor was somewhere in a helicopter overhead, there were photos apparently of just the tip of the golden arches of some McDonald's restaurant somewhere, the water had crested but was threatening the structure of bridges.  I heard Owego was hard hit, and thought of Adam Weitsman's business (see http://www.syracuse.com/ for updates on this and his response).  I can't stand sitting in traffic, so I turned off and took Route 11 until I lost it somewhere in the country.  I stopped along the way at a sma...
