ADU? How will that help my real estate value?

ADU? How will that help my real estate value? Read the full blog post at https://robrosarealestate.blogspot.com ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are usually small units that are built in the back or side of a parcel's main home. In many cases a mother, father, family, loved one, caretaker lives in this 2nd unit. These are an opportunity to stay closer with loved ones and still having your own privacy. It is an opportunity for maybe the homeowner to even make extra revenue from the rental of the ADU. The ADU is usually about 500 square feet and will be built at land level with wider doors and handicap accessible features such as lower counters and handles in the shower. The cost to build a unit such as this might be about $40,000-$50,000 or even more. I have many tradespeople available to help: electricians, plumbers, roofers, framers. You know who you are! There can be many local community rules, restrictions and municipal ordinances and so you have to make sure y

Real Estate Escrow? What is it?

Real Estate Escrow? What is it? Learn about tips for Buyers and Sellers when dealing with Deposit money - escrow accounts. What is best way to handle it? How much money should we offer? What happens to the money? Generally, the real estate sales contract provides that the listing broker will hold the deposit money deposited by the buyer. A separate account for the deposit of the money but be maintained. No comingling or conversion. These deposits must be made within three banking days from the date of obtaining all signatures from all parties to the transaction. Interest earned on real estate broker accounts is paid to the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority to benefit a program for first-time homebuyers. A few cents from each transaction will add up to quite a lot to help others. A buyer and seller may decide other arrangements in the Purchase & Sale Agreement. The amount of the deposit is dependant upon many factors. Is the buyer competing against multip

DIY home prep while in quarantine

DIY home prep while in quarantine Here are 4 of my best tricks for getting a home ready to sell. All things you can do on your own while hanging out with the fam! #1 Declutter your entire house (top to bottom) Chances are, if you’ve lived in a space for an extended period of time, you’ve probably accumulated quite the collection of “stuff”. However, most buyers aren’t there to look at all your knick knacks you’ve collected over the years. They’re trying to picture themselves living in the space. And it’s hard for them to picture living there with all your personal things scattered around. Rooms that you should focus on include the kitchen cabinets, bedrooms, and living rooms. This also means tucking away your prized possessions and family pics. Trust me on this one! #2 Freshen up your paint If you’re like most of my sellers, you probably have some scratches on the walls, chipping paint on the baseboards, and normal wear and tear that comes with living in a home. There’s

Do you have a shadow?

Hello Friends, Not sure if you have a pet, we have a little dog (small in size, not bark or attitude) named Rolo. He is a nine year old Shorkie (half Shitzu and half Yorkie). He seems to be extra attentive these days while we are practicing social distancing. In fact, we joke about how he is now our shadow. He follows either my wife or I all around the house and when ever one of us sits down he lays right by our feet. I believe he actually knows something is going on and wants to help us feel better. His loving eyes, as he watches our every move, are amazing. He's been right there everyday with unconditional love. One thing has changed though, seems as though he only wants to eat if we feed him from our hand. In the past, we put his food in his bowl and give him the command it is ok to "go eat." Now he will just look at the food and walk back to our sides. If we put the food in our hand, he gets as close to us as he can and eats right from our palm. I

Real Talk and COVID-19

Hi there, This is a situation many of us never thought we would be in just a few weeks ago. Some of us have family members that are putting their lives in danger, now more than ever. Some even have family members that have passed away. My wife's aunt actually passed 3 days ago, alone in the hospital, from this terrible virus. This is hard and very real. We feel vulnerable, we feel angry, we feel upset, we feel afraid, we feel overwhelmed, we feel confusion and sometimes even sick and tired of this whole thing. Let's honor our feelings. Let's not just stuff them down. We can be gentle and patient with ourselves and others. Let's take one thing at a time, one day at a time. I want you to know I am here to talk, if you need me. We can get through this together. As we move through these challenging times, I want to reassure you of my commitment to continue to provide support to others; my family, my friends, my clients, customers and colleagues. T
