Is there really a paint that will cover this stuff in one coat?

I would ignore the real estate agent. Instead I would offer a $750 paint
allowance to the buyer.

Ignore the realtor and the hell with the allowance. Let them buy the house
as is.

I've taken that approach for 3 months. Nothing. Getting a little
desperate. Maintaining two households for this period of time is
straining the pocket book.

Military should take that into consideration when transferring people.

Is the house showing? If not, white paint won't help. If yes, then find
out what people are rejecting it for. Lower the price or offer a selling
agent incentive bonus if that is allowed in your state. But a bad paint job
may turn off potential buyers. If there is furniture in the house and it is
cruddy get it out.

The house is showing. And the movers have already moved most to
Maryland. I just kept enough for me to get by with.

Carpet, house, etc. is clean. Priced lower than those in neighborhood
(a nice one BTW).

I'm beginning to think the property taxes may be the problem.

I'd appreciate any suggestions which could sell this place.

Thanks

Agreed. Given a choice between bad furniture or seeing an empty room,
"empty" works better.

No. It's impossible to get on-base housing in San Antonio. There is a
3 year waiting list here at Lackland. It's mainly for enlisted
families, and rightly so, since basic allowances for housing diminishes
with rank.

And on-base housing is impossible at Andrews AFB, Maryland where she was
transferred in August.

A new rub is that I received a call from St Louis and may be called out
of retirement for an 18 month assignment to Heidelberg.

I don't like the idea of just 'moving out' and leaving the house empty
if I have to go back to active duty.

I thought things got simpler as you got older. Go figure. )

If you were in our around Rochester NY, I'd recommend the realtor I used.
This guy rocked. Before him, I used two others who were no better than 7/11
clerks. I was buying, and the two lousy ones knew next to nothing about
houses, their mechanical systems, the history of building in the area, the
economy, and the psychology of sellers.

Did you sign a contract with this realtor? If so, read it carefully and see
if you have the option to hire another at this point. If so, do this:

Walk into 3 offices of big-name agencies. See whose names are on the sales
award plaques, if any. And/or ask to speak to the branch manager and explain
the situation. Hire the best person they've got.

The paint excuse is a crock, by the way. I think you need a second (or
third) opinion as to why the house is taking too long to sell, and you're
not going to get that from a TYPICAL realtor. You need to hire a real
producer.

Finally, not all realtors share listings with other agencies. I bought
through a large, locally owned agency. But, their web site also showed
listings from ReMax and 3 or 4 other agencies. Look for a similar
arrangement if possible.

Realtors in Texas seem to be a different breed. This is my second.
They take the listing and NEVER show the house themselves. They seem to
just sit on their asses as wait for someone else to sell it, then
collect the 3% they have coming. So much for 'representing the seller'.
What you wind up with is realtors that show the house and represent
the buyer.

I like light blue. If the walls were white, I'd make a lower offer. Hell,
I'm going to repaint it anyway unless it was just done. Unless it is
hideous, dirty, or very dark, ignore the realtor.

I've never been happy with a one coat job. Two works much better. Any good
brand of paint will do, just avoid the cheap crap as you need more of it,
splatters more and it takes longer.

Where is the house? If it's in southeastern Virginia (Tidewater), it should
sell quickly...unless it's overpriced. Listings here are still selling in

750 credit ?? the cost for an average rooms walls to paint is 100- 150.
750 you are dreaming or a dumb ass to pay so much.

but if i were going to do it, i would put a coat of white primer over
everything and sell it as 'ready to paint whatever color(s) you want'.
primer is cheaper than paint, has a better chance of sticking, and will
cover enough to prep it for the paint that will come.

Nice house! I'd go AWOL just to stay there. :-) But seriously, are you there
when it's being shown? If not, find a way to get the buyers' realtors to
call you and tell you what kinds of objections they're getting to the house.
They won't all cooperate, but I'm sure some of them will.

Details:
1) I don't see the satellite dish in the pictures. But, when I was buying, I
looked very carefully at any accessories which involved screws through the
roof shingles. If that's where yours is, offer to have a real roofer remove
the dish and do whatever patching or shingle replacement is needed. Holes in
the roof make people nervous.

2) I realize you're in a much warmer place than Rochester NY, but are pools
a liability down your way? Not in terms of kids falling in, but in terms of
turning away buyers who aren't interested in a pool no matter HOW easy it is
to maintain.

3) In the picture on your main page, it looks like the tree overhangs the
gutters. If it does, that could dissuade some buyers. Might be worthwhile to
call in a reputable tree service to give the tree a COMPETENT haircut. In
some cities, the utility company uses the better companies for seasonal tree
work. They have to. They can't afford to have morons damaging homeowners'
trees.

4) Here's a biggie: Most of the sellers I spoke with didn't really
understand their furnace & AC warranties. Get with your literature, call the
manufacturer if necessary, and xerox & highlight the crucial parts if
necessary so it can be handed to potential buyers. Focus on whether the
warranty is transferable. The wording's not always clear. If it's in your
favor, highlight it. Ask the same questions of the company which installed
the equipment. This is important. I bought my home this past summer.
Naturally, the inspectors and I tested the furnace, but it began acting up
in early October. It was installed this past April. The problems turned out
to be due to installation errors. The installer tried to claim that his
warranty was non-transferable and became confrontational at my attempts to
reorient his thinking. The manufacturer (Goodman) ended up paying a
reputable installer of my choice to straighten out the problem.

#4 might be especially important if American Standard is in the same
category as Goodman equipment. I'd never heard of Goodman until I looked at
this house. Inquiries turned up many similar answers: "It's OK. It's
contractor-grade stuff". Or, "usually installed by people who know they're
leaving the house soon. Otherwise, they'd install Trane or Carrier". Whether
this is true or not, you have to deal with peoples' impressions.

The satellite dish is located on the beam on the back porch. Holes in
the roof make me nervous too.

Pools, I'm told, are a plus. And it was for me, too, when we bought it.

Trees have been trimmed. I do that annually. Driving around I notice
most homes have taller trees with limbs overhanging roof, provided they
are above the roof and not within 3 or 4 feet of roof itself.

I'll have the warranties out when they come in. I'm always here when it
shows. It's transferrable and only 15 months old.

Thanks.

That can be part of the problem. Get out of there and let the realtor do

the plusses and minuses of the house.

wrong, the military will buy back houses under certain conditions.

My father in-law returned to work for the miltiary (he is retired), However
in a more civilian manamgnent position. They bought his home in Stockton

May be different being called back to active duty and may depend on rank,
But I would check to see if being called back to active duty after
retirement would be considered. And go higher than the paper pushers and see

Wrong. Military at Lackland and my congressman said no. Civilians yes.
Military no. Period.

May be different being called back to active duty and may depend on
rank, But I would check to see if being called back to active duty
after retirement would be considered. And go higher than the paper
pushers and see what your options are.

~Zaitsev is correct. There is currently no program to buy back houses from
military members. Congress thought about it for about a minute this year
and did nothing. In addition, the program for buyback of civilian employees
is very limited.

Maybe that is the difference, My father in-law did not resume active duty,
just working with them in a civilian role, He is about 70 now, If you can
say being on the golf course half the time with the brass is work !

painted walls a light blue. Now she's in MD and I'm selling the
house.
Realtor said paint them white.

Is there really a paint that will cover this stuff in one coat?

Please help....time is of the essence.

thanks.



I remember the military having a program to "buy" houses from folks in
your position.
Check with Family Services or what ever they call it these days.
