Sucess in Bad Real Estate Markets
"My husband and I twice challenged JoEllen to sell and buy us houses in a bad real estate market and both time she really came through for us. I think what struck me the most about JoEllen the first time we sold our house was the level of integrity she showed through the entire process. Not only did she work hard to try different approaches to bring in the right perspective buyers, but I never felt she was rushing the process to get a quick rather than a good sale. We didn't hesitate to call JoEllen again when we put our house on the market last spring. Once again she worked diligently to sell our house in four months when so many others had few or no showings. On both occasions JoEllen worked with us until we found exactly the house to fit our needs. Needless to say, I am so glad that we found JoEllen almost fifteen years ago, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!"
Ellen and John Cavaiuolo

Closing or Settlement >Final Arrangements
Some homebuyers approach the final days of the home sale transaction with great enthusiasm, feeling utterly confident that the end is in sight, and feeling completely organized about the move. They have accounted for every detail, contacting the moving company, arranging for the transfer of their telephone, electric, water, and gas accounts and having the home professionally cleaned. They start checking off the days until the closing on their calendar. But in reality, the closing may not be entirely predictable.
It is very useful for homebuyers (and sellers) to remember that closing dates are not set in stone. Lenders, appraisers, title attorneys, credit check services, and anyone else who is involved in the transactions can potentially cause a delay in the closing. If buyers keep this in mind while making arrangements, they can minimize the possible cost and inconveniences due to a delay.
As the closing approaches, the real estate agent will stay on top of the situation and keep in touch with everyone involved in the transaction to prevent any unnecessary delays.
