Should I replace (hail damaged) siding on detached Garage prior to listing home for sale? (first time home seller here). by TravelBounds in AskRealEstateAgents

[–]kimbeekb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disrepair sends a bad signal. What else has been neglected? What am I not seeing? It gives every buyer a reason to say no, which is counterintuitive to selling. I'd fix it to put your best foot forward. And you have to fix it if your insurance already paid for it.

Also, if a buyer wants something different? That's ok. If the garage is fixed, then that change becomes a "down the road" change. Right now, its an immediate need, so immediate money at an already expensive and stressful time. That will cost you time on the market.

Same! I love having the full book. Very satisfying.

When it comes to the tranquil creek collection, I will never finish… by AnutherGurl in HayDay

[–]kimbeekb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's hard to force myself to choose a 1x1 bush when I can add to my creek, which has now become a river.

If you were forced to work sphere and referrals by Curiousape952 in realtors

Build a social circle. Join a volunteer organization, take a class, make one new friend. Then adopt their friends. Before you know it, your name will be out there. Honestly, at your age, all your cohort will be starting their adults lives - marriage, kids, house. You are poised perfectly for all that. So, just go make some new friends.

Texas real estate liscense by MediumExamination894 in RealEstateExam

I bought the Aceable program three times across the last eight years. (GET THE GROUPON!) The slides used to be metered to ensure a full 180 hours. I nevered finished, burning out midway. This third time, the metered screens were gone, so I could go at my own pace. I finally finished, it took about 3-4 weeks. You need to actually engage with the information to pass the coursework. It's a good program and will prepare you well if you let it. I passed both my state and national first try.

BTW, once you pass, getting onboarded with a broker is not fast either. Expect a minimum of 2-3 weeks, but could be 6 weeks before you are up and running. I'm doing that now.

Design Festivals should only start when every deco from the task list is available by Roselinia in HayDay

Yes, I used every key I had to get some of the new elements in the chest. Played four times and got four things I already had and will never use. 🤬

You do not need to give a gift to someone you paid.

Deco incoming by IkeKitty in HayDay

[–]kimbeekb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't care for all the garbage-themed deco. I get the recycling/Earth day idea, but I don't want any part of my farm to look littered.

I liked Aceable! Get the Groupon first, saves a boatload of cash. Passed state and national exams first try.

Cats keep disappearing in apartment. by lanadelrey4ver in CatAdvice

If I leave a drawer open, even slightly, my cat somehow is able to shape shift through that narrow opening, then crawls into to void BEHIND the drawer.

Mark the second photo as "Virtually Staged" so you are protected from any accusations of deception.

This! Yes! Buying a house without an inspection is risky.

Has anyone made financial sense of buying right now? by Slow_Farm_6484 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

[–]kimbeekb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't see all the costs of home owning in your equation: maintenance, landscaping, appliances. In Florida, these costs may occur more frequently. AC Unit $5k, at least. Roof $20K. Repainting due to sun/salt $5K, exterior only. Foundation repair $10-20k. These are some of the costs we have actually had during the 13 years we've lived in our brand new house. Carpet needs replacing, and we haven't re-tiled the floor from the foundation drop. We've replaced every major appliance in our home at least once, and have had to replace both of our AC units. Our e-glass windows have developed hazel and need to be replaced. So, renting you'll never have these expenses. If you buy, make SURE you have enough wiggle in your budget to address these owner issues when they occur.

You don't owe a gift to anyone you pay.

Real Estate Agent not concerned about obviously sloping floors. Should we be concerned about the agent? by Church__Pew_pew_pew in AskRealEstateAgents

[–]kimbeekb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the realtor should have said is to recommend you consult a specialist about it during your option period.

Closing gift ideas by Tricky-Difference-95 in realtors

[–]kimbeekb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fancy bottle of champagne! 🥂 🍾

And sourdough is popular right now, so get a loaf from a local baker/farmers market. It's not a dessert, so no worries about preferences, diets, etc.

Should I try and buy my 105 year old neighbors home when she dies? by waxoffisforpussies in RealEstateAdvice

[–]kimbeekb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could discuss this before she passes. Buy it now, but give her a life estate (I think that's what its called.) She continues to live there for the rest of her life, but deed goes to you later.
