Why you should ask for the seller’s phone number I like my house, but I think I like the guy who sold it to us better. After my wife and I closed on our house 13 years ago, we walked into the kitchen and found a wonderful surprise left by the previous owner: manuals to the appliances, previous utility bills, cans of paint, and a hand-drawn map of the sprinkler system’s zones. This information has been indispensable as paint peeled, sprinklers leaked, and other systems needed maintenance. But one thing he

if only he had the house’s blueprints. So, more than 10 years after we last saw each other, I called Tim, who not only sold us the house but had it custom built for his family.

left—something I never would’ve asked for—has proven more valuable: his phone number. That’s right, the guy voluntarily left his cell number and said to call with any

questions. And I have. Most recently, I needed blueprints. Before we started building an addition, our architect mentioned how it would be easier to draw his initial plans

A few days later, the blueprints arrived in the mail. Not everyone’s going to ﬁnd a seller as willing to help as we did, but you’ll never know if you don’t ask. So after you shake hands at the closing, ask the sellers to share their knowledge about the house—and maybe their cell number.

Create the perfect outdoor kitchen space with these easy projects

(BPT) - Now that warmer weather is here, you want to spend as much time outdoors as possible - and that includes mealtime. But what if your outdoor kitchen space is lacking? Worry not! There are several easy, affordable projects that can help you transform the area into the perfect cooking and entertaining area. Give these projects a try to recreate your space. * Start with the grill. Your grill will be the focal point of your cooking area and you’ll need to determine whether gas, charcoal or propane is right for you. If expense is a concern, propane is a more cost-effective fuel than charcoal and it doesn’t require running any lines to your grilling

area, providing you with the same grilling space and fewer expenses. * Build a barbecue cover. Give your kitchen a beautiful outdoor shelter by building a barbecue cover from Western Red Cedar. This natural wood is resistant to rot, decay and insects, and it will look great no matter what the weather brings, turning a beautiful silver grey patina if left to weather naturally. In addition, building the cover is easy - simply follow the nine-step process found at RealCedar.com. * Find the perfect light. Looking to make your outdoor kitchen an area everyone wants to be in, even at night? Forget the deck light and opt

for ambient lighting options instead. Track lighting can be strung across your space easily to make the kitchen a welcoming environment. And if you want to be more unique, you can ﬁnd simple instructions online for building wine-bottle torches or Mason jar lamps. * A place for guests to dine. Enjoy the food where it was made by building a dining table and chairs from Western Red Cedar. Building a table is easier than you think, and red cedar can be ﬁnished anyway you like. This allows you to create furniture perfect for a more traditional or modern kitchen. * Provide a little shade. Make those summer afternoons

enjoyable and comfortable by providing some shade for your guests - and for the cook as well. Patio umbrellas are a helpful addition to any seating area. To cover a larger space, you could also opt for an all-encompassing retractable awning that will provide shade when you need it and peel away when everyone wants a little sun. Many people mistakenly believe that outdoor kitchens are luxury items for only the wealthy, but that is no longer true. Any of the easy projects listed above can help you reimagine your space into the outdoor kitchen of your dreams. To ﬁnd more beautiful options for improving your outdoor space, visit RealCedar.com.

It’s All in the Price

hat’s my price and I’m sticking to it. If you possess a similar mindset, you may be watching potential buyers walk right past your home for months.

Home sellers make the common mistake of choosing how much they think their home is worth without giving any consideration to negotiating. Ultimately, it is the market that will determine the final selling price, not the seller’s intuitions or hopes. Trust your local realtors to conduct a comparable market analysis of the homes in your area that fall into your same square footage and lot size. Seeing what other houses are selling for will help guide you in your pricing strategy.

START CORRECTLY

Some sellers are tempted to start with a high price and then lower it if they don’t get much interest from buyers. But this can be a big mistake. Your home will get the most interest in the first few weeks it’s on the market. When shoppers see your home first show up in the listings, or neighbors see the “for sale” sign in your yard, that’s when people are going to be talking the most about your home. If you start with a sales price that’s too high — even slightly so — some potential buyers are going to lose interest when they think you’re asking too much for the house. It’s better to start with a realistic, fair market price for the house rather than keeping your fingers crossed for an early, rich offer.

THINK OF ONLINE

Occasionally it makes sense to price your house in a way that will get the most views when buyers are searching

COMMERCIAL, RENTALS

for real estate online. If you’re thinking of asking $255,000, for example, that would put it slightly out of range for people who see “up to $250,000” as a search option on a website or mobile app. With so many of today’s real estate buyers using online search tools, it makes sense to consider how they search when pricing your home.

FULL PRICE

Sellers should not expect to receive full listing price for their home,

SAVE TIME

By pricing your home correctly

from the get-go, you can save yourself some major headaches – and time. Realtors will let you, the seller, make the final decision on your listing price, even if they think you are thousands of dollars off from what buyers will offer. But heed their advice. They know the market and are focused on sharing their knowledge with you to guide your decision. An overpriced home can waste loads of time for both you and your agent if you are forced to drop your asking price every month.

according to the National Association of Realtors. The group found that of the homes that took four or more months to sell in the past year, almost half of their owners accepted less than 90 percent of their asking price. In fact, some real estate agents working for buyers advise their clients to start with an offer that is 85 to 90 percent of what the seller is asking.
