The Fine Wine Element of Selling Your Home
Like fine wine, your home has probably aged nicely while you have lived in it. While you may feel this way, it is important to understand buyers may look at it a bit differently.
A home is a fundamental part of our lives. We tend to live in them for a number of years during which time significant things happen in our lives. Maybe you had additions to your family. Maybe you met someone to share the rest of your life with. The list is practically endless. While all of this is wonderful, the one consistent with them is time. While you stack up experiences, you house is aging. When it comes time to sell it, the fine wine element of this aging needs to be addressed.
The age of a home is always on the mind of any perspective buyer. To the surprise of many sellers, buyers usually are not overly sensitive to when the home was built. What they are really interested in is how long is the property going to last if they buy it. With some solid maintenance, an old Victorian will last for a long, long time. Homes built in the last 30 years, however, do not always have such staying power.
If you have an older home, you can take steps to cut this buyer concern off at the knees. It is an extra step that costs you nothing and you will be glad you had done. Yep, you are going to get the answers before you list the property. Being well prepared is the key to getting past the objections and concerns of potential buyers.
When it comes to the age of your home, the key is figuring out how long things will last. So, should you read up on it on the net? Should you just eyeball it? Should you go with what someone told you? No! You should get estimates. Specifically, you should call out contractors and get estimates. The estimates should cover the condition of the area in question, any repairs needed and the remaining life for the area in question. You should do this for the roof, heating system, cooling system, ventilation system and any thing else that might age like bad wine and is unique to your home.
Taking this step will let you know what is right and wrong with your home as well as how long things are going to last. When a buyer asks how long the roof can reasonably be expected to last, you can pull out the estimate and show them. End of question!

Pamper Party
Sat, 18 Oct 08 05:37:03 -0700
The “Pamper Party” ended up being a Mary Kay party, which, when I found out, I wasn’t psyched. However, our “party” ended up being a lot more fun than I expected! Our night started off with snacks and wine. Thanks to all of you that suggested appetizers for me to bring! Quite a few of you suggested cheese and crackers, and that’s what I brought. At Stop & Shop, I bought a wheel of brie, crackers, and some roasted red pepper tapenade. At Walgreens, I purchased a cute jack-o-lantern plate an

After a quick pit-stop in Roger Moore’s era we’re back in the land of original and still stubborn Sir Sean.

Thanks for all the messages, my ghosts have left me to get on with things for a while, I can usually cope when they visit individually but en-masse is too much !! I've been busy. I went down to a small village the other side of Cardiff and learnt to spin properly with Ruth from Winghams as a most wonderful tutor. She taught us how to spin fine (and consistent) and thick and ply them together. I can now rescue my badly plied and make then usable yarn (hooray!!) Then I went down to Ally Pally fo
The Joy of Sake 2008 Tasting: October 23, San Francisco

The Joy of Sake 2008 Tasting: October 23, San Francisco I absolutely love the fact that we've reached a point in this country where I don't need to explain why a sake tasting in San Francisco might be an enjoyable way to spend an evening. In the five years since I've been writing this blog, sake has gone from obscure to obvious, hardly known to hip. The availability and visibility of sake in the US has blossomed, driving by fine dining establishments and the increasing popularity of all things
A Different Kind Of Wine Tasting

Buffalo is a city ripe with opportunities to get on out, support a good cause, and taste plenty of different wines. For a wine connoisseur, these events can be a great way to taste local wines and find out which are the best, however, there has yet to be an event for wine glasses ??? until now. Take your traditional wine tasting event, except instead of multiple varieties and vendors with different wines to taste, picture a set of fine wine glasses to try different wines from. That???s the type

Jump to the full entry & travel map Airlie Beach, Australia Something to write about at last!! One of the few perks of working at 'Daydream', and believe me when I say there aren't many, is that we are eligible for staff discount to many of the tours/trips on offer. In all fairness to them, these discounts are sometimes up to 60% off the full price making the many trips on offer really too hard to ignore. What is the point of staying in the beautiful Whitsundays if you are not going to e
