Thank you GW for messing up birthdays
Comments (19)Thanks everyone for the belated "Happy Birthdays"! I actually feel relieved since it looks like there were several of us that got missed somehow, and not just me. (This is NOT a criticism to Carla or anyone else, who work hard to try and keep track of all of us). I guess I will never "grow up", (thank goodness), because I still like birthdays. Now I am wondering how secure we are in revealing a birthdate on the internet. I had a scare recently when my pharmacy called and had a question about a prescription I was supposed to be filling for a drug I would never even be remotely taking. The most I am ever on is an antibiotic once in awhile. Someone was trying to use my name, etc. to get what they wanted. The birthdate given is what raised a red flag. I wonder if we should keep some of that info a litle vague, and only share it among those of us that have gotten to know each other. Anyway, thanks Carla for being so sweet. Things like remembering birthdays takes time and effort. Sandy...See MoreMessed Up Defaualt Programs = Help!
Comments (4)Thank you for reading my unruly message for help. I didn't know that Firefox had done an upgrade so when I logged onto the internet I got this whole new screen and Firefox asked me if I wanted to upgrade. I said okay and then the fun began. Today I went into my McAffee and did a system scan and they fixed one issue. Then I did a "cleaner" on my system and finally was able to get on through Internet Explorer. I guess I will stay here as everything is available except my mail. I use Windows Mail and when I try to access my emails it tell me it has been disconnected. At least it wasn't spam. In my momment of terror, the first place I wanted to be was here where all you really good people help idiots like me. Thanks again....See MoreDid I Mess Up? Dual Agency
Comments (11)Our listing agent is also a dual, but she does it a little different. She will stay with us while the buyer would go to her husband who is also licensed. I don't have a problem with this because she is the main bread winner of the family, and I've seen her in action. This is her bread & butter and she seems to know she will get more business with a happy customer then an unhappy seller. I'm pretty easy going but if need be, will stick up for us if I had to. We killed the last deal back in 1999 because the realtor we had then did not have our best interests. He was willing to lose the deal over $1,500.00. When I look back at it now, there were things he could have done on our behalf to make the deal go through. Im not quite sure why you felt the need to say this when he was asking about dual agency? The bottom line is, YOU decide what offers you will accept. As a dual agent, your agent has to maintain a fiduciary relationship with both sides. He cannot tell the buyer your bottom line, (which he probably doesnt even know) and he cannot tell you the buyers max (which he probably doesnt know either). You have nothing to lose. If you don't like the offer, you turn it down. If you don't offer dual agency, you have just limited one more place your offer could come from. I don't understand what I have in bold. When we listed with our agent, we told her what we wanted to walk away with. Since we are using her to buy, she knows how much we want to spend. So in our case, and probably a lot of others, yes, our agent knows our bottom line; doesn't make sense for her not to. Same as if we are buying, if I'm putting an offer in on a house, I've already discussed with her when we walked through what I thought about the price. She knows I come home and zillow, so I know what someone paid for it. Yes, knowing what someone pays for something usually doesn't matter, a house sells for what someone thinks it's worth; but in one case, I looked at a house for $355,000 (IIRC); the house was poorly laid out (I've mentioned it before in other posts) - I came home & Zillowed to find the owner only had it a year and paid $20,000 more then what he was asking as he's had to lower the price a few times. After I walked it, they ended up taking it off of the market. To me, the house wasn't even worth what he was asking. Had I not seen the zillow, he would have been really insulted at my offer if I did like it....See MoreAnny ideas to cover up a mess?
Comments (3)Hi anneliese, I agree with Ken that pictures of your situation would help us understand it better. "...we had the digging for 14 piers to stabilize a shifting slab house." Your local building code and the builder of the house are responsible for preventing a shifting or cracking slab. The concrete slab should have enough reinforcing steel bars in it to prevent cracking and the slab should be "floating" on a bed of sand to isolate it from shifts in the subsoil and/or rock formations on your site. If your house is relatively new, it might have been covered by a warranty against such foundation problems. "It will be month before all will settle and I would like to camouflage it without slowing down the settling." I'm not sure whether you mean it will take months to settle, or just one month. If just one month, seeding the open earth won't take effect soon enough to help. If you meant it will take months to settle, then filling the soil with a root structure might interfere with good settling of the earth. Just out of curiosity, does your house have guttering to prevent rain runoff from the roof from falling on the open earth? And was there a foundation planting of shrubs, perennials and things in the foundation area that got excavated? If so, do you plan on making a new foundation planting? Maybe you should consider just raking the earth level and re-raking it to keep it level as settling occurs. Did the contractor who did the pier work have any suggestions as to how you should treat the disturbed earth? Seeding the disturbed earth with a fast growing groundcover might conceal the earth, but could just create a nuisance in your landscaping plans. Pictures could help. ZM...See More
