It's all part of constructing a better Real Estate Brokerage Model

If there is anyone out there in Central Ohio still considering the purchase of their first home, now is the time. I am not a cheerleader type, especially for the same sort of party line that all real estate agents are eschewing right now.

That said, the truth is, there’s never been a better time to buy your first home. Interest rates are at historically low levels and thought to be increasing soon. Housing stock, even at this time of year, is plentitful and growing and less expensive than it may have been a couple years ago.

And, oh yeah, there is an $8,000 tax credit for first time Buyers and a $6,500 tax credit for Sellers. There’s never been a better time to buy your first home. Until now.

Delicious Real Estate is rebating cash back to all buyers.

• $1,000 to Buyers of homes $135,000 and over
• $2,000 to Buyers of homes $235,000 and over
• $3,000 to Buyers of homes $335,000 and over

Just like the tax credit, this offer only extends to any buyer who is in contract on a home by April 30, 2010.  Unlike the tax credit, this offer is not limited to first time buyers, rather it is open to any buyer.

*Buyers must be pre-approved by lender of choice.

*Homes must be in Franklin or contiguous Counties.

*The rebate will mentioned in the purchase contract for the home and listed on the settlement statement as required by state law.

*You must know the secret password which means you read to at least the middle of the post. The secret password is “Go Clippers!”

*Call, email or stop by for more information

Why am I doing this?

1. I’m driven to prove that a better buying and selling experience is possible for less.
2. I want to get the Delicious Real Estate name out in the world more than I have in the first year of the Firm’s existence.
3. I’m concerned Read the rest of this entry »

The city of Columbus is removing some parking restrictions downtown. For Delicious Real Estate clients, this means you no longer have to worry about parking on 4th Street out front from 4-6 PM when you swing in to chat or sign something after work.

In a nod to downtown businesses big and small, the City of Columbus has decided that, “….the streets could absorb the additional parking hours and not inhibit greatly the flow of traffic going outbound and coming inbound,” said Public Service Director Mark Kelsey.”

I heard this was in the works but I’m still surprised.  As one soon-to-be frustrated commuter said in the Columbus Dispatch article, “I think that getting home on time is more frustrating than finding parking Downtown.” The thought of essentially closing two lanes during rush hour will definitely restrict traffic and add a couple minutes to many commutes.  As a Columbus Real Estate Brokerage with a main office in Downtown Columbus, I applaud more parking and less parking restrictions.

Aside from stopping in to discuss your Columbus Real Estate needs from 4-6, here are a few other items you will soon be able to do that you can’t today.

The first week of Summer, the 40 year anniversary of Woodstock and Comfest weekend…..It can only mean that Delicious Real Estate is declaring this the Summer of Love, Columbus Neighborhood Love!

We’ll be out on the streets, talking to real live Columbus area Natives about their Neighborhoods and why they Love their Columbus Neighborhood.

Want to send in your video or send a link to it? That’ll work too. We’ll roll out at least 3-5 short videos per week. Get excited Columbus and tell the world about why you love your community.
