Why Should You Work With A REALTOR®? – Aimee Ness, Realtor Keller Williams Realty
May 20, 2011 By
You may ask your self why you would need to work with a REALTOR®. Here below you will find several reasons.
- You’ll have an expert to guide you through the process. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal and avoid delays or costly mistakes.
- Find the best property out there. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market, and it will take some investigation by your REALTOR® to find all available properties.
- Real Estate has its own language. If you don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it’s important with a professional who is immersed in the industry and knows the real estate language.
- REALTORS® have done it before. REALTORS® handle hundreds of real estate transactions over the course of their career. Having an expert on your side is critical.
I would love the opportunity to help you with selling your house or buying a home!

Top Things Buyers Do that Can Turn Sellers Off
March 31, 2011 By
Do people think all of today’s sellers are under the gun and will just put up with whatever behavior buyers dish out? Not necessarily……
Here’s a few of the most common seller turnoffs:
- Trash-talking: The home buyers who think they’re going to negotiate the list price down by slamming the house. Like telling the sellers how little it is really worth, how the house across the street sold for nothing, why the school on the corner should make them desperate to give the place away, etc. This strategy never works!
- Making crazy low-ball offers: No one likes to feel like they are being taken advantage of. Sellers generally know the rough amount that their home is worth, as well as what they need to sell it for to get their mortgage paid off. Yes, the price you pay should be driven by the market value and not what the seller owes. There is tons of inventory in this current market, Yes – the price you pay for a home should be driven by its fair market value, rather than the seller’s financial needs, and deals are more available in a market like the current one, in which supply so vastly outpaces demand. Throwing super-lowball offers out at sellers hoping one will hit the spot is not generally a successful strategy. Especially if you really, really want a given property!
- Renegotiating mid-stream: Sellers plan their finances, moves and – to some extent – their lives around the purchase price a buyer agrees to pay for their home. If you get into contract to buy a home, find out during inspections that costly repairs need to be made, then propose a lower sale price, repair credits or even actual repairs to the seller. Then that’s sensible and fair. If you were aware that the property needed a lot of work before you made an offer on it, then you come back asking for a TON of money worth of credit or price reductions midstream, expect the seller to scream. Also, holding the seller up two weeks into the transaction because you caught a case of buyer’s remorse? Not so good! This is not so likely to foster the spirit of cooperation you may need to get your deal closed.
- Misleading or setting the seller up: Do not mislead the seller! Offering way over asking with the plan to hammer the seller for a reduction when the house doesn’t appraise at the purchase price? NOT GOOD! Making an as-is offer planning the whole time to come back and ask for every penny for every repair called out by the inspectors? Is not exactly professional behavior.
All is well …..do unto others as you would wish to have done unto you….

Seven Best Things about Green at EPCON Community
February 28, 2011 By
- Lower Utility Bills. 5-Star Energy Star Certified homes can save up to 30% compared to Indiana’s minimum building standards. This equates to as much as $800 a year in savings!
- Homeowners here don’t have to “upgrade” any custom options to own a 5-Star Energy Star certified home. Every home in this community is 100% 5-Star Energy Star Certified which helps to increase the value of all homes and of the community as a whole –something that homebuyers should consider in communities with an HOA. Their stake in the community as a whole is greater.
- The health benefit: 5-Star Energy Star Certified homes have cleaner air, more consistent temperature regulation, and create a better environment for your family, children or grandchildren.
- The Builder & Developer, Kim Thonn, is committed to ongoing Green education and the latest green building advancements. She is a Certified Green Professional with the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders).
- Our communities go above and beyond 5-Star Energy Star Certification by using Indiana’s Thermo Scan, Inc. to provide a customized package of air sealing, pipe insulation, outlet insulation, air infiltration testing & infrared scanning of the entire home.
- A Community full of homeowners who are committed to leaving a better future for their children and grandchildren!
- In terms of your environmental footprint, by being a homeowner here, you are doing your part through the power of your dollar to make an immediate difference. Use less water and less electricity every time you turn on the faucet by living in a home with an on-demand water heater. But don’t stop there, own an efficient furnace, efficient fireplace, and properly sealed and inspected home just by becoming a homeowner at Stonebridge or Ravenswood!
There are 2 maintenance-free, “Green” communities, Stonebridge & Ravenswood in the Greater Lafayette area.
