Have a question about selling Moms house
Comments (13)"Amen," to what Sushipup just said. Paying for legal advice from a competent elder care attorney is worthwhile. It's much better to speak with an attorney before complications arise. That way, your attorney will be familiar with all the specifics that are unique to your situation when or if trouble arises. And having a small estate should not be a consideration. Even someone with just a house and a bit of savings can run into difficulties if they or their relatives do not do things properly. Consider it like insurance. You pay it and maybe nothing ever happens for a while.But when it does, you're glad you have it. When you have to deal with the complexities of Medicaid, etc., you'll be glad you consulted with an attorney and have a good CPA on your side. My county's Council on Aging provides low cost, sometimes free, services for the elderly. Can you avail yourself of a similar service?...See MoreWould you buy a house with green carpet?
Comments (31)I'd buy a house with pink shag carpet if that was the only negative. It amazes me how many folks can't look past what can be easily changed for very little money. Things like carpet and paint. I just changed an entire room in my home (just for the sake of change) for $40.00. That included wall paint and trim paint. The carpet in my sunroom is a blue/green berber. Instead of changing the carpet out, I changed the wall and trim colors to compliment the carpet. In a million years, I would have never guessed that a color called cherokee rust with white trim would compliment blue green carpet!...See Moreneighbor won't move car from our driveway!!!
Comments (8)"The home is still listed with the agency but with another agent after I called her manager and had her taken off the listing due to her unprofessional behavior." Seems odd that the agency hasn't 'talked' to this agent to ask her why she is trying so hard to sabatoge this deal. What does the present agent think of this? linda117-"You could also call the police and tell them there are two cars parked on your property that arent supposed to be there. Let them go an knock on her door, Im sure she'll move them in a hurry." Good idea. I wouldn't want to have to waste the time and money getting a certified letter either. linda117 is right. I'd ask the police to stick around when the tow truck arrives as well....See MoreMichigan Realtor Referral Please
