Fixer upper Cottage in St Georges, Bermuda

I always think it sad when I first see a property that is broken down and neglected.  After all there must have been a time when someone wanted it enough to spend the time, energy and money on building it and now here it sits bare and in need of new owners.
If you would like to turn this cottage (which is on a nice lot in a nice spot in St Georges) into a home again contact me scranfield@brcl.bm and make an offer - asking $699,000

Get the most out of your real estate agent in Bermuda

Get the most out of your real estate agent in Bermuda.

When you choose a Realtor it is important that you spend time talking to them.  Make an appointment with your real estate agent before you go and look at properties - meet with them to discuss what you are looking for.

Your real estate agent should know where you would like to live, as well as what your needs are and what your wants are.  Needs are what you have to have and wants are things that you would like to have but could be negotiable on. You need to trust your agent and give them this information.

They can really help you by saving you time and effort by filtering out the properties that look and sound right but don't really fit the description of what you are looking for. They will be able to give you all kinds of information on likely properties and comparables to help you through the offer process.

If you would like assistance with the buying process give me a call at 441 305 8074.

Sell to buy market

There seems to be a lot of property on the market at present where people are looking to sell their own property and buy another - upgrading or downgrading. 

Many of the people offering houses for sale are looking to buy condos which offer so much in the way of convenience especially when it comes to maintenance.  Condo prices start at around $450,000 with maintenance fees of around $200 per month.

By the time you add up all the costs of insuring your home, painting and landscaping etc the monthly condo maintenance fee that you pay is reasonable - and someone else has the headaches of dealing with the tradesmen!
