What to do if encroaching on neighbor’s property ILYCE GLINK AND SAMUEL J. TAMKIN TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Q
uestion: I own a hillside/lakeside lot in South Carolina. Recently, I hired a contractor to build a retaining wall to stop erosion into the lake. Retaining walls in this area are common, necessary and large. The contractor I hired also built a home adjacent to my property. He has finished my neighbor’s home and my wall. I had a survey done for the contractor just prior to his building my wall, but when I had a final survey done after the work was complete, I noted that the wall has encroached 3.4 feet onto my neighbor’s property. The encroachment is not located in any accessible area and the wall is positive for both of us, since it prevents soil erosion from our properties. At the moment, I now live in a different state and plan to build my home on the South Carolina lot. I contacted my original South Carolina real estate attorney to help me figure out what we need to do to remedy the problem. He said it is a difficult situation since the bank where my neighbor has her I See Glink/Page E3

S
erty with a high price would remain on the market longer than a seller expected, it would eventually sell. Today that is not the case. Properties that are priced above market value are not likely to receive offers and may not sell. Sellers who make a mistake with the initial price are subsequently forced to chase the market and lower the price later, taking the property much longer to sell.” Sellers will benefit from the professional advice of a Realtor when it comes to effectively pricing a property and understanding today’s market trends. Successful sellers also understand
the importance of quality marketing to help set their property apart from the competition and position the property to receive an offer from a qualified buyer. Buyers today seek value and also go through a more rigorous process to obtain a loan than in years past as lenders deal with thousands of regulatory changes that have occurred this year. They can greatly benefit from advice and guidance to locate the mortgage companies, inspectors and appraisers who have a track record of success in today’s changing environment. “At The Group, our Realtors
are focused on educating our customers about our market so they can make informed decisions. We are using state of the art pricing tools and the experience and knowledge of all of our Partners to stay on top of even the smallest changes in our market,” Thompson said. These are unprecedented times and even so, sellers and buyers today are having success. What they have in common is that they work with skilled, dedicated real estate professionals that offer their expertise and guide customers through today’s complicated process.
tatistics show the Northern Colorado market is in a much better condition as compared to other markets across the country. Despite the advantages in Northern Colorado, buyers and sellers should be mindful of how to navigate today’s market, and will be bestserved by working with a skilled, dedicated Realtor. Sellers today face a highly competitive market where prices have remained essentially flat for four years in a row. There are many factors out of a seller’s control, but sellers can be successful if they focus on the three things they can control—price, condition and marketing.

be encumbered by a mortgage or trust deed, the easement may not be valid against the lender. But depending on where you live, the easement may be valid against the owner and future owners of the property. The difference between an easement and a license agreement in general is that a license is a written document that may not be recorded against the title of someone’s property, and in some cases it can be terminated. You certainly don’t want the license to be terminated by your neighbor. If you don’t get an agreement from the neighbor, you should keep a timeline of the construction of the wall, the mistake made by the contractor that built her house, and the failure of anybody to object to the construction of the wall during its construction. Hopefully, your neighbor will see the benefit of having the wall where it is and will agree to formalize the arrangement.

Q
uestion: I planted a few French lavender plants in my garden last summer. They did great last year, but are not growing this year. Can I plant another variety that will thrive in our Colorado climate? Answer: Lavender is a versatile semi-woody perennial herb that can do well in our Zone 5 climate. It originates from the Mediterranean region of Europe and is a good choice for Colorado gardens when planted in full sun. It has few pests, often blooms twice in one season, and is highly regarded for its fragrance, medicinal values and beautiful colors: violet, purple, white, pink and blue. French and Spanish lavender are generally not cold hardy in Northern Colorado. The two types that grow well here are English lavender and a hybrid, lavandin. Lavandin blooms once in late summer and produces sterile seed. While lavandin produces a large quantity of essential oil, it is not as high quality as English lavender. For more information on growing this showy and useful herb, visit www.ext.colostate.edu and read CSU Extension Fact Sheet #7.245 on “Growing Lavender in Colorado.” Trudi Manuel has received training through Colorado State University Extension's Master Gardener program and is a Master Gardener volunteer for Larimer County.

Trial gardens in full bloom MITZI DAVIS CSU EXTENSION, LARIMER COUNTY • The CSU Annual Trial Gardens at College Avenue and Lake Street in Fort Collins are in full bloom. Don’t just drive by; take a walk through the gardens to see the latest in bedding plants, shade-tolerant flowers and plants that look wonderful in containers. Check out the new perennial beds, by the Center for the Performing Arts Building. For the best photos, plan your trip early in the morning or early evening. • Later-blooming perennials like Rudbeckia (Blackeyed Susan), fall Asters, Chrysanthemums, Helianthus, Helenium and Heliopsis will add great color to your fall landscape. • Use a slotted plastic laundry basket when harvesting root crops like beets, carrots and turnips. You can wash them off outside with a garden hose before bringing them into the house. • Beans require more frequent watering than other vegetables and use the most water during the blossom and fruit growth stage. Blossom drop and reduced bloom mean the plants have been too dry at some time. • Every weed that flowers and goes to seed can mean more problems next year. Control weeds by mowing, hoeing or using herbicide. Do not add ripened seed heads to your compost pile. Weed seeds can remain viable for years and may germinate next year when you add your compost to garden beds.
