What To Do About Abraham? Would Appreciate Your Advice.
Comments (10)Thanks for the good advice. I have read each response carefully. Florence, it's not fair for you to post that great photo of this rose that I love. It tilts me towards keeping it. I don't think in Pa., you have rust problems. It seems to a problem for some roses in the west. And Judith, I agree that he is a gorgeous rose and worth keeping, but the rust is so heavy on it's leaves that they look like they are painted orange underneath, yet it blooms like crazy despite the rust. Organicgardendreams, so you have had the same issues with Abraham and know how rusty he can get and you are right that there are many healthy roses out there that would stay rust-free. What Jeri wrote about spraying is scary, as some of those sprays are strong enough to do so much harm. Jeri, I hope your dog is over the health problems spraying caused him. But yesterday, I found a non-toxic, organic spray for fungal diseases on roses, so what I've decided to do is spray Abe with this and see if it is effective. It is made from natural oils and soap. Don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try. It is such a handsome rose that I've decided to keep him and test this natural spray out. I think that watering, feeding and pruning is enough work in the garden and I am resistant to spraying, but I will spray Abraham as the only rose in my garden that needs it. Most of my other roses are healthy enough most of the time. I don't mind a touch of rust or mildew every once in a while, but like I said Abe gets solid orange under the leaves. Still, this is an unforgettable rose with an old-fashioned look, so it will get exclusive treatment. I think I am spoiling him. The other roses may get jealous. If it works, he stays. If not, fare-thee-well. Thanks everyone! You can tell this problem is making me a tortured soul. Chance...See MoreSelling and would appreciate your advice
Comments (18)Deb- If you do go FSBO try to do the following: let's assume that you've already decluttered, staged the house & your home has a great curb appeal. 1)Contact a couple of realtors & get their opinion & comps on listing your house. You can always have them as back ups in case you get tired of having your house FSBO. 2)Contact a RE attorney. Get a CONTRACT from him/her. Do not get any contracts from Staples or such. 3)VERY IMPORTANT-When you get an offer get a FULL LARGE DEPOSIT on the day of the offer & take it to your attorney to put it in escrow immediately. Try not to split the deposit. Unfortunately, most people will give you $1,000 to hold the property & within a week will come up with additional money.Try to get 10% of the purchase price. Get the largest deposit you can. If buyers put a large sum down & it's in escrow, it's less likely that they'll try to back out. Do not do long closing dates. The faster you can close the better. Too much time may kick in the buyers remorse. Almost everybody gets buyers remorse, esp when it comes to large purchases. There has been an epidemic of buyers remorse in the past year. I had one back out & the ones who purchased almost backed out!!! If you get a large deposit & it's deposited into an escrow quickly, it will be very difficult or impossible for buyers to get that money back, otherwise they can cancel the checks... 4)Get familiar with the contract so you can fill it out properly. PUT EVERYTHING IN WRITING -what stays, goes, contingency dates, special clauses...The TWO important contingencies: a)THE INSPECTIONS-Radon, Asbestos, termite & home....Try to have your buyers get those done ASAP- within 1-2 weeks. This gives them wiggle room so get it out of the way quickly. b)THEIR FINANCING- Make sure they show you a PRE-QUALIFICATION letter that they qualify for the amount of the purchase. Try to get them to get approved as soon as possible-2-3 weeks. Get a confirmation letter that they have been approved. These are 2 different things. The first one tells you that they can afford it, but their credit has not been checked. The APPROVAL letter tells you that EVERYTHING is OK. They are good to go. AFTER the inspections & the financing approval letter from the bank you can be ALMOST be sure you have the house sold. However, anything can happen so it's not sold until closing. Good luck....See Morewould appreciate your help-looking for shaker bifold closet doors
