What’s the deal with the “We Pay Cash for Houses” signs?
 

I’m sure you’ve seen these signs around every now and then. These signs actually target certain types of home sellers: those in financial distress, those who can’t sell, those who are divorcing, those who have trashed or damaged their homes, and owners evicting tenants. 

These companies often don’t require a real estate commission. They claim they will save you money and boast about completing their sales in-house. 


If you want the most money for your house, hire an experienced real estate agent.

So how do these companies pay for your home?

We used to refer to these homes as EPs, or equity purchase companies. These fast-cash buyers deal solely with your equity position. Their strategy is to negotiate for the lowest possible price for your home.

You have to know what your financial situation is. If these companies are really there to take over a bad situation, they will possibly buy your home for less than it’s worth. These companies are not for conventional home sales.

If you are truly desperate, you may want to go that route. However, if you want to get the most money for your house, stick with a brokerage and an experienced real estate agent.

I am glad to answer any other questions you may have. Just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

Some Great Fall Festivities in Our Area


Fall is in full swing and it’s time to pick some pumpkins. I’ve got two suggestions today for places you can celebrate the season.

There are some great places in our area to take the family for some fall fun.

When it comes to seasonal festivities, one of my personal favorites is something most people know about: Shadybrook Farm’s PumpkinFest. 

 
But, I’ve also got a recommendation that might not be so familiar. Another great place I recommend is Eastburn Farms, located on Dorm Road in Newtown. Eastburn Farms is family operated, and was actually started as a hobby.


The attention to detail that is put into Eastburn Farms is obvious in everything they do.


However, even now that it’s grown into something much bigger than a hobby, you can still expect to be treated with a lot of personal care.

The attention to detail that is put into Eastburn Farms is obvious in everything they do. They’ve got a wide variety and selection of pumpkins, from Jarrahdale to Cinderella to your typical Jack-o’-Lantern style, and more. They’ve also got a variety of squash, which are great for cooking.

I hope all of you have a great time taking advantage of our area’s fall festivities. Happy Halloween!

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Remembering Those We Lost on 9/11/2001


I want to take a moment to pause and reflect on that tragic day that changed our lives forever, and to honor those we lost on 9/11/2001.

On the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, I want to pause for a moment to reflect and the day that changed our lives forever.

I also want to take some time to remember those who lost their lives on that tragic day. My thoughts and prayers are with their families, the survivors, and the first responders who rushed in to help.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, the survivors, and the first responders today.

The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were the deadliest terror attacks on U.S. soil. 2,977 people died in the attacks, and our community was hit hard by the loss of nine souls from Lower Makefield and 18 souls from Bucks County.

If you are looking for more ways to observe the 16th anniversary, you can go to the Garden of Reflection in Lower Makefield, which is the official Pennsylvania memorial to victims of the 9/11 attacks. There will be a few special events there for the 16th anniversary.

For more information on the Garden of Reflection, click here.

At 8:30 in the morning, a remembrance ceremony will mark the chronological events of that tragic day to remember and honor those we lost with music and prayer.

At 7:00 p.m., there will be a candlelight service. As we walk forward together, we work together.

The Garden of Reflection is located at 1950 Woodside Road in Lower Makefield, Pennsylvania. If you are using GPS, you may need to enter “Morrisville,” Yardley,” or “Newtown” to get there.

There is also the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City. You can purchase tickets to attend up to six months in advance.

Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the survivors, victims, first responders, and their families. Thank you for taking a moment out of your day to pause and reflect with me.
