    Answered Questions

    Selling my home with someone else on the deed

    I am a real estate agent in MA and we are an attorney state. In our state you would need to hire an attorney to help change the deed and typically there is consideration that needs to be included in this transfer. If you have a mortgage on the property you will need to do a refinance on the property to get him off the deed. To see the property you need his cooperation or need to hire an attorney and go to court to a judge to help with a partition for sale. Tough situation so good luck.

    I have bad credit and im trying to get a home?

    Hello David, Thank you for your service to our country. My advice is to link up with a Veteran Loan specialist and typically in 6-12 months with their guidance they can help you rebuild your credit to a point where you can qualify for a VA loan. I wish you the best.

    Will finishing my basement increase my property taxes?

    Typically, home property taxes are influenced by finished heated space and yard size. I would say that finishing this space will likely change the value of your home, but if the increased space helps your living situation, then the additional fees would be worth incurring.

    Should I tell our insurance company about a reno?

    Brian, It is human nature that we want to keep our costs down, but insurance companies have become skilled at finding ways to not pay out claims. I feel that the marginal increase in premiums is not worth the risk to the remainder of my asset to not notifying them about an increase in living area in your home.

    Is four years too long to spend with a realtor?

    Jenny, Sorry to hear of your frustration! There are big changes coming to the real estate industry on August 17th and now you could potentially be responsible for the real estate fee. I would ask this question, would you pay for the services you are getting if you found your dream home? If the answer is no then you should interview new agents. To give you perspective since 2020 I helped 77 buyers find homes so you should really think about interviewing other agents!
