I generally do not recommend them to people unless the appliances are just so-so and any repleacent or repair might not be easily afforded by the homeowner. If that is the case, American Home Shield is far superior to the rest. They sometimes will 'cash' you out of a repair, meaning they will...

Thats brilliant, under price your home just to save a few bucks? How does that make sense at all?

Who do you think is setting the prices of these houses? The seller? LOL. Its the agents doing their due diligence and creating a sales price that has value and most importantly one that can meet the criteria for an appraisal. Do you think an appraiser is going to look at a FSBO as a comparable...

It is in every agents best interest to obtain the highest selling price. Why? They make more money that way. Now there is a fine line between selling at what the market will bare versus satisfiying a client who thinks their house is worth more than the market will bare. I think the buyers agent...

Agent split will depend on who they are affiliated with. On average I would say an agent gets 70% of the 1/2 commision, remember that 6% is usually split between listing and selling agent. Home prices are a function of that areas economy. California is a whole other world but their costs and...

I'll ake exception to that comment. I have been in business for 37 years. I have my MBA in finance and my CCIM Designation ( https://www.ccim.com/about-ccim/what-is-a-ccim/) and working towards a PhD in finance as well. I put together complex transactions for mom and pop investors to...

OK but what you do not realize is that 6% commision is usually split 50/50 with the other agent and then the selling agent has a split with their broker which is typically going to be about 70/30. So your $850,000 sales price @6% would be a $51,000 total commison, split equally so $25,500 per...

Great point. Everyone likes to make that fortune and tney love it when the agent sells it for more than they thought it was worth but then they pissed off when they have to pay the commision. I have the ability to lien property for my compensation in commercial and have never had to do it. My...

There is no way any broker can do a respectful job of selling your home for 1%. I just passed 37 yrs in business and there is just no way that type of company is putting forth the marketing needed to get you top dollar. You also need to consioder what the co-broke fee is. If you sign with a...

OK, glad I asked on this board. The car is just not driven, not really even short trips. I'll get some BMW spec oil and call it a day.

I like their product and from having several other turbo cars over the years its been a qulaity oil with zero turbo issues. My son does something where he even gets free oil change kits from FCP Euro. I don't care about the price and honestly its still under warranty so I think she should take...

I'm sorry if this has been covered. I'm a big fan of this page and looked for hours to get an answer but did not find one. My wifes car is a 2019 BMW 440I twin turbo with a whopping 9,000 some odd miles. She rarely ever drives it as evidence by the mileage. Its due for its 2nd oil change and I...

That's a common thing in FL. A few things he can do. #1 challenge to assessed rate from teh tax assesor, ie if the value is too high then the taxes will be proportinate. Also make sure he does have the homestead exemption. #2 chances are its insurance related. If its an older home and the roof...

I'd get a dealer level scanner program and see if its something easy to fix first. I'm not sure about MB but I know I can trouble shoot the audio systems in all my BMW's with BMW Standard Tools. It was a free but complicated down load. One of my kids cars had terrible sound so I ran a scan and...

A man's wealth is not measured by his bank account. I am a wealthy man, financially but my greatest asset are my children. I would give up every dime, chew off both arms and both legs for my kids. The joy of watching them grow up and become men or women is priceless. Your bloodline continuing is...

I'm in Florida and when temps drop I switch mine to the High Demand setting. It uses both the compressor and elements to heat. Not going to help you when its that cold but in milder temps it will keep you from a cold shower. YTD I've used 1336 kWh (approx $143 per year) and that's with 2...

A/C will get you the best bang for your buck and would be considered a must have by most people. Your siding looks like it just needs a good power wash and paint. Is the pool retaining wall structurally deficient or is it the stone veneer? If its just a veneer, you could get it stucco coated...

AS a real estate broker, I would vote A/C system over driveway.

The reason many guys use a 5.3 and turbo is because you can turn up the boost on the smaller engine. For your use, I'd say a 6.2 with a turbo could last forever with no issues. If you don't want to go that route, a Magnuson SC will get better fuel mileage than say a Whipple but thewy will loose...

You want to be careful with the reman units that the pressure valve is in fact for a truck, not a car. I ran into this when replacing a pump in my 2005 H2. I also went with a Red-Head steering box. Please research it but I believe you can buy the pressure valve for, say and Escalade or Tahoe...
