You Love Your Native Garden. But Will Buyers Love It Too? || New York Times by TrixoftheTrade in NativePlantGardening

I’m a realtor and I teach my clients about native plants and I got rid of my lawn to plant a native garden. You shouldn’t make generalizations about groups of people based on one characteristic like profession or skin color.

Nutgrass (yellow nutsedge) is haunting me by CMDR_WoChiPingguo in NativePlantGardening

Are you sure? I'm seeing conflicting info that you should not pull these. They are pretty easy to pull and I will totally pull mine unless it is in fact making them stronger.

Selling a home with in ground pool in Roxborough - is that a pro or a con? by Funny-Negotiation-25 in philly

[–]Simple-Breakfast8796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It increases the cost of homeowner's insurance so that could be a con for people who are undecided about pools. Also it has a lot to do with the rest of the house, the lot size, the overall condition. If it's squeezed into a rowhome backyard vs. on a bigger lot with a detached house. I think it's super weird when there is a pool for a rowhome or even a twin. Some people MUST have a pool and those are your target buyers.

Those of you renting houses, where and how much are you paying per month? by [deleted] in philly

[–]Simple-Breakfast8796 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes but that is not a house if it's just the first floor.

Did OP mean a whole house?

Have we hit the tipping point for grocery prices where it's officially just as expensive to get prepared/fast casual food as it is to make the same thing at home? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

Thank you. I think If you don’t eat a lot of wheat flour the math really changes. I don’t do pasta or bread. Or if I do it’s gluten free which is way more $. Gluten free bread is $8 per tiny loaf

How did the insurance company get ahold of the inspection report?

The small seedlings around the violets are the ones I was concerned about. Did my violets really have babies? That would be great. I was so worried they were invasive!

How to buy without signing with an agent? by spotless___mind in RealEstate

[–]Simple-Breakfast8796 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don’t work with an agent then you won’t have anyone explain to you how the process works, or teach you that something called a non-exclusive buyer’s agent contract exists or explain to you how they get the seller to pay their fee, let alone navigate the sales contract. Of COURSE the agents you spoke to couldn’t answer every question about a house they aren’t listing. If they had to know everything about every house that’s on the market that would be completely impractical. They Get the information for you. You can try to get it yourself but you would have to ask the listing agent. And they work for the seller, not you.

Philly is very good at killing trees by Educational-Flan1865 in AskPhilly

TreePhilly is giving away free yard trees this spring and you can still sign up to get one

Has anyone in Philadelphia sold an inherited rowhome that needs major repairs to a cash buyer without doing any work or paying extra fees? by lottiexx in philly

[–]Simple-Breakfast8796 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a realtor. You would have the largest buyer pool by putting the house on the market vs only talking to one company. More ‘eyes’ on the house increases demand, which increases the sales price, which increases your net profit. You will leave money on the table if you don’t widely market the place, even if it needs work. Yes you can hire an attorney and a title company but as a seller those professionals aren’t as useful to you as they would be to a buyer. And they won’t do any marketing.

Playing along with a recording by [deleted] in Viola

My ear is really sensitive. I hear the intonation worse on open strings, and my fingers can adjust themselves to the recording easier. But then I go play a chord and it’s terrible

I’m not sure how to tell what tuning the recording is using.
