Recycling in Albuquerque!

Yey, let's hear it for recycling programs now in Albuquerque. I have had my "Blue" can for quite awhile now, was one of the first testing areas. I really enjoy how easy it is now to keep my house free of the clutter of magazines, papers, newspapers, etc - without feeling the guilt of tossing. Now, I can toss with a conscience and my home is much less cluttered. I make it a habit to go through my home office areas once every 3-4 months and really clear out my old files, papers, etc. The Blue containers will handle anything but pizza boxes and glass. I still haul my stuff to the recycling centers for glass, keeping my glass in a paper bag which then, you guessed...gets put back into the Blue container. THE RECYCLING PROJECT ALBUQUERQUE Enjoy your Blue bins and a cleaner house.

Outdoor Living Spaces - how wonderful!

Your home is not just inside the walls of the house. The home is the entire living space. Give it what it deserves! You can actually increase your square footage enjoyment by increasing the outdoor living space. Even in the winter! Outdoor living spaces are often neglected areas. Even small patio homes and town homes have extra space that can be utilized. In your Albuquerque home, there is usually at least 10-15 feet of space on at least one side of the home, so let's make it enjoyable! You can use planters to extend your growing areas, and try planting herbs and other usable plantings. Some herbs can grow into winter and can be used for cooking year round. Look for small spaces that can be quiet sitting areas, pull up a chair, use a small fire pit....take a walk around your home and see if there is a secret view that you never knew was there and use that for your quiet space. Outdoor lighting - it's now going solar! Set it and forget it! Solar lighting is n

When do I get the Keys?

"When do I get the Keys?" I hear this every time I have buyers going to closing. Odd thing here in Albuquerque , we still haven't got this process down perfectly. "Closing" refers to when all parties sign the final papers. "Funding" happens when the recording has taken place and all money is released to the parties. The $$'s can't be released until recording has taken place and sometimes that isn't until the next day. So, you may not get keys or 'possession' until the next day. You have set up your movers , your utilities, your insurance...all for that day of closing on the contract. But here you are stuck in your old residence, waiting for that magic 'funding' moment to take place. "But I've talked to the sellers and they are fine with me coming over before then..." Trust me, they aren't. That morning will come and all the casual assumptions you have made about legal possession are incor

Agents, are you capable of derailing a client's fraudulent intentions? | Inman News

Agents, are you capable of derailing a client's fraudulent intentions? | Inman News In today's market we are starting to see multiple offers and those stressful moments when you, as a buyer, might have to do some serious maneuvering to get the property that you want. But, be careful when approaching these moments! The official RANM forms used in New Mexico could put you at serious risk for losing your earnest money if you do not hold to the obligations in the purchase agreement when it comes to what type of proof of funds or approval letter you submit to the seller, when you have the ability to 'back out' of a purchase should your financing not be approved, and when that notice has to be given. Be sure and consult with a Realtor who goes over the contracts thoroughly before you obligate yourself to a purchase.

How important are photos when marketing your Albuquerque home?

As a real estate broker I see hundreds of home photos a day. Every morning and every evening I check the MLS for new listings , and homes that have sold that day. I, like anyone else, am curious about the features of the home, inside and out. If I have not seen the home in person, I use the photos that are displayed in the MLS system. I am always amazed at how some photos just don't do the homes justice. Some homes, granted, are difficult to photograph, but any photo paints a picture of what the home has to offer. As a home seller, you should demand high quality photos of your property, no matter what the condition or location or price. If the home needs work, take photos of the rooms and have your broker talk about the benefits of the home's living space and potential. If it has views, make sure your broker takes good photos showing the views, views are EVERYTHING in Albuquerque, New Mexico. If the home has a great kitchen, make sure multiple photos ar
