On the other side of the fence -

Brandon — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:31:18 +0000

I recently closed a transaction where I represented the seller. The neighbor immediately to the east had a deck/stairs/fence system that was encroaching on my client’s property by about 10 inches. It wasn’t clear though if the fence portion was part of the original deck, or was put there sometime after the deck was built. [...]

Lawsuits - is it worth suing the buyer or seller if things don’t go according to plan?

Brandon — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 21:16:06 +0000

The short answer is yes. The engine that drives the real estate market are buyers who physically [...]

Neurotic About The Detail – When is Enough Enough?

Brandon — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:28:22 +0000

Okay, so I’ve become that neurotic homeowner completely obsessed with finishing every detail of the 7 year home renovation of my house on Fairmont. Frankly 7 years of renovation is for the birds and I don’t recommend it to anyone, but it does bring up a good question – when is enough, enough when it [...]

Return on Home Improvements

Brandon — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:38:08 +0000

A client recently asked about return on investment for landscaping improvements and I thought I’d share portions of that email with everyone as the question comes up frequently: “Ah yes, the ol’ debate about how much to spend on home improvements. Generally I think you want to have a couple things in mind. 1) Make sure [...]
