Surprised Kentucky Buyer Finds BIGFOOT In House Bought At Auction

Surprised Kentucky Buyer Finds BIGFOOT In House Bought At Auction

Kentucky BigfootThere he was! BIGFOOT! Asleep in the basement!! The new owner was shocked to say the least! He thought he had gotten a bargain but instead he had a monster of a problem.

Soon, his life would spin out of control.

Imagine...you do your homework on a house that has gone through foreclosure.

You have all your ducks in a row to be able to bid at auction.

You are buying it without the benefit of a home inspection. There could be bats in the belfry too.

I have had so many people call me to see if I keep up with foreclosed houses that go to auction. I actually do not. I almost bought one about 4 years ago.

Lucky for me, there was something that came up on my credit report at the last minute that I had to dispute. I hated it at the time, but it was a blessing in disguise. I think of it now every time I pass by that house. Now I have a much nicer one down the street for about $6000 less and 4 years newer. (With zero problems)

At the time it was going to be up for auction, prospective bidders could not go in and inspect it. I would peep in the windows and wonder the layout of the house. I found out later that because of water problems over the winter, there was black mold in the walls downstairs. Now that would be a monster in the basement.

I have heard from others that they have bought some of these sadly neglected homes. Please be careful and do what you can to inspect these houses before you buy at an auction or from a bank. Not all are fantastic bargains. You never know where Bigfoot may be living!

Kentucky State Fair / Louisville KY

Kentucky State Fair Louisville KY

Kentucky State FairThe excitement builds as you arrive off I-65 to the Kentucky State Fair exit ramp.

As Monica Hess (AR's fabulous KY Feng Shui  blogger) and I drove up to the ticket booth we joked with the attendant that we wanted 2 senior citizen tickets.

He wasn't buying our story and waved us on through with a big smile.

Would it be the same as I remembered? Would I find lots of neat stuff? What would be new? What are they giving away? What have I been missing out on all these years?

I have to admit I had not been to the Kentucky State Fair since the 80's. I think I saw Dolly Parton in concert and a championship horse show. I'm sure it has changed since then.

As we pulled into parking lot N, we wondered where to go next. We crossed the street to the shuttle pickup that was a farm tractor pulling a blue wagon that had seats on each side. Our tour guide shouted out the points of interest so we would know where to go.

Kentucky State FairFreddy Farm Bureau has been a fixture of the Kentucky State Fair for as long as I can remember.

When I was a little girl, I talked to him and was amazed how he saw me. Yes, he really does talk to anyone that comes close!

There were two boys that approached him after I took the picture today. As they hung out at the fence he said, "Boys, you two look tired." They laughed and kept talking to Freddy. He's pretty smart!

Freddy Farm Bureau is always at the front entrance to the Kentucky State Fair. There are also numerous booths for food of all sorts and and entertainment.

It's a good idea to visit the information booth on the way in to ask questions and to be able to find out if your favorite animal, show or exhibit is going to be there.

Kentucky State Fair

Monica was dying to see mules. So we asked at the info both to see where they would be. She told us they had left that morning. We had to make due with cows instead. So off we go to see some cow judging.

Kentucky State FairKentucky State Fair

This guy was waiting patiently for his turn at stardom. He had been scrubbed, primped, sprayed and polished to win a blue ribbon.

We wished him the best of luck and headed out to get something good to eat.

Pulled pork Bar B Q sounded tasty so we placed our order then headed into the entertainment tent to enjoy the show while we chowed down. The group that was delivering some down home music was the Whiskey River Boys. They sure were good!

Kentucky State Fair With our bellies full of Bar B Q, we plotted what was to be next on our tour. Monica studied the fair schedule and decided we needed to see the world's largest dog over in Ehibit Hall B.

We were off on our search for the dog...but we never found him. Instead we saw lost of booths to sell just about everything under the sun.

Slice N dicers, car polish, hot tubs, rocking chairs, belly button jewelry, sheets?, sun glasses, windows, ring cleaners, time shares, t-shirts, crafts, Ginsu knives, toenail decals, candy, miracle cloths, sore foot pads, Craftmatic beds and FUDGE!

This guy was making the fudge while we watched. He had a BIG crowd cheering him on!

Kentucky State FairAfter the fudge show, we wondered over to the prize winning entries that had been judged. Earlier when we were in the last exhibit hall, I had told Monica about this fun show I liked to watch on TV called "Cash Cab."

We were inspecting the homemade wines that had won ribbons and there was one labeled "Cash Cab!" How bizarre is that!  

Kentucky State Fair

 

   

 

Here is a handmade guitar I thought was beautiful and original.

As we headed back out to the entrance to give our feet a rest, I took a pictures of the fountain.

I think we are about ready to call it a day!

Last call for cotton candy before we pile back onto the shuttle tractor.

Kentucky State Fair in Louisville KY will stay open until August 24th.

Come on out and have some fun! It's a great attitude adjustment!

What Sellers Can Do To Add Appraisal Value To Their Homes

What Sellers Can Do To Add Appraisal Value To Their Homes

I was talking today to an appraiser about adding value to a home for an appraisal. I had planned to use it as a topic on the Welcome Home Show that I taped today. I decide to go ahead and share the ideas with my newsletter clients and blog subscribers.  

If you have the best house in the subdivision don't upgrade inside. If your home is of less of lesser value to the neighbor's homes it will add value.

Add square footage extensions like extra bathroom, bedroom, family room....basements don't count for much. 1st floor and above floors can add value of $65 - $85 per sq ft.

Add hardwood, tile, crown molding, concrete or asphalt driveway or professional finishing inside.

In kitchens - new surfaces: Cabinets(re-paint), countertops, sinks, range tops, built in ovens, flooring. Repaint the walls.

Bathrooms - New Tile floor, double vanity(higher level in master), garden or whirlpool tub, , separate tile shower, toilet, Re-paint walls

Other additions that add value: porch, deck, fireplace, garage, carport or patio.

The condition of your home will add value if it looks well taken care of inside and out.

Buyers are really liking garage hanging storage wall systems even better than jazzed up kitchens, formal dining or big backyard! Who would have thought this?

Buyers decide whether to get out of their car based on the outside appearance of your home.

Take the time to wash windows, trim bushes, repaint the front door, mailbox and pull weeds. It tells a lot about how you care for your property. These homes all appraise well.

St James Art Show In Louisville KY

St James Art Show In Louisville KY

I can hardly believe that almost a year has gone by and it will be time once again to see all the wonderful art at the St James Art Show. This is one of my favorite Kentucky Festivals!

The 52nd annual show will be on October 3rd - 5th this year. Hopefully, we will have some cooler weather than the last time I attended. My Mom and I almost melted from the over 90 degree weather.

St James Art ShowMy suggestions for your visit might be:

Dress in something cool.

Drink plenty of liquids.

Wear comfortable shoes to be on pavement all day.

Park in the neighborhood surrounding St. James Court. Residents rent out spots in their yards or driveways. That way you can carry back goodies to your car or just take a break and relax. Pay them...it's worth the price.

To check out more pictures and get official info check out St. James Art Show Website. There are some awesome pictures or the booths, art and festival attendees.

The show is in old Louisville, a historic preservation district. The houses date to 1870's and are made of brick with loads of stained glass windows. The neighborhood is the largest preservation district featuring almost entirely Victorian architecture in the USA.

Most of the homes are in the Victorian-era styles of Romanesque, Queen Anne, Italianate.

St James Art Show

More about the history.

Plan to stay the day because it will take that long to visit all the booths with art.

The first time I visited, I went back on the last day(Sunday) to bargain for a particular piece of art. I have to say that the artist really did let me have a good deal.

One thing I did was pick up a few seeds(Indian Cigars my Dad used to call them) from a stately Caltapa tree in St. James Court and now I have two of the offsprings growing in my yard. 

Determine your strategy and go have a good time. I will be counting the days till October 3rd!

Mom and I stayed for a few hours enjoying the art. There is also a swimming pool and skateboard park on the grounds. It was amazing to see the skateboarders doing some daredevil feats in the air off concrete ramps.

If you missed the Woodland Art Fair this year be sure to mark your calender for next year.

WLAP 630AM Welcome Home Show With Kentucky RealtorĀ® Lizette Fitzpatrick

WLAP 630AM Welcome Home Show With Kentucky Realtor® Lizette Fitzpatrick 

Here we go again! I was invited back to the The Welcome Home Show by Larry Frakes to join him and his sidekick Jamie Mortimer of Guardian Savings Bank in Lexington KY. We taped the show that will air this Saturday August 16, 2008.

The topics? Localism, Real estate and what sellers can do if their listing has expired.

My first debut was last month that I blogged about in my post,  WLAP 630AM Welcome Home Show With Kentucky Realtor® Lizette Fitzpatrick.

Welcome Home Show WLAP 630AMI have to admit, the first time I was a bit nervous. This time it was a whole lot easier to talk about what I know best.

I also spent some time to tell sellers about the new service I offer through Prudential Prea Center.

I can give all my sellers daily updates on their listings by email that includes hits, views, new competition listings nearby, any competition's price changes and also if the viewer of their listings has bookmaked them to save. 

Sellers are thrilled to see this in their mailbox from me everyday!

Sellers love Realtors® to stay in touch.

I also talked about Localism.com and what it means to our communities.

It is a place to brag about what we have in our towns. Places of interest, restaurant reviews, history, articles, pictures, videos and more. Research any place you would like to visit in the USA before you go.

Yes, time really goes by fast in six minutes! I hope to be back again soon. Check it out when it airs this Saturday.

 Click on LISTEN LIVE on WLAP at 10AM Saturday.

24 Hours in Central Kentucky: List A House In Richmond Ky then...BAM! Multiple Offers and Accepted Contract!

24 Hours in Central Kentucky: List A House In Richmond Ky then...BAM! Multiple Offers and Accepted Contract!

That was yesterday. It actually first started by one of my closings disappearing because of financing problems. Not a good way to start a day. The seller was not happy. Actually, I wasn't happy either but I appeared to be calm. We are back to square one on this listing.

On to the next deal of my day.

My brand new, formerly FSBO, listing, a cute little house on a quiet street in Richmond,KY. I called it my "Jewel with a pool."

I had just popped it on the two MLS systems. MCBR and LBAR.

There is a competing listing 2 doors down the street. It's been on the market awhile. The task was to make our new listing standout.

The owner spent her time painting every wall and kitchen cabinets, cleaned everything, new shower curtain, took out all but some furniture to look lived in, flowers on the breakfast table, nice pictures on walls, pulled weeds, cleaned up landscape and yard, nice vanilla air freshener wall units. Plus numerous last minute details.

She turned on all the lights and wished for the best.

I had already scheduled 2 showings for the evening. By 5:15PM the first ones arrived. At 6PM another agent wanted to tour it with her client. They were out front of the house.

Hmmm, I pondered,"go ahead because the next showing isn't until 7:15PM."

Then I get a call from both agents that they are writing offers!!

I call the third agent that hasn't even made it to the house with her client. She was running late but I wanted her to be in the offer situation if she wanted to be.

I inform the seller and she is beyond ecstatic! I inform the agents this is a multiple offer situation. Both agents were aware that they were competing to write the best deal.

By around 9PM one of the offers was accepted. I was thrilled for my seller who will get the money she wanted for her house and can close in a couple of weeks. 

In a nutshell, it's all about a good price, cleaning everything and staging. Put your best foot forward when you start and everything will fall in place for you.

Loft Photography: Lexington KY Downtown Condos and Lofts

Lexington KY LoftLoft Photography: Lexington KY Downtown Condos and Lofts

This afternoon I spent some time exploring the condo and lofts available in downtown Lexington KY.

The clean lines of contemporary and modern are really looking good to me.

There is something for everyone and the convenience of being in the heart of the city is intoxicating.

If you are looking for something new in the way of housing, there are some good buys in real estate downtown. More people are thinking of moving to the city that work nearby. With gas prices and the cost of living it will be the trend of the future.

Some of the condos and lofts I toured today were:

The Lofts At Main & Rose Nunn Building Loft

Nunn Building Lofts

City Court Lofts

Kimball House Square

Cigar Flats

Campbell-Hagerman Flats

Centercourt

South Hill Crossing

500's On Main

600MAX

Artek Lofts

Main n Rose loft

 

 

 

South Hill Station Lofts

Wellington Arms

Byrd Building

Clay Villa

Lorillard Lofts

New Past On Main

 

 

 

 

Kimble House loftWhat is great about many of these lofts are the high ceilings, stainless steel appliances and fixtures.

Most every unit I toured had granite countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms.

Also, the darker hardwood floors seemed to give the lofts a rich and warmer feel.

 

 

 

  

 Main n Rose loft                                                                         There will be numerous factors that you will have to weigh when deciding what floor plan might work best for you.

Take time to tour different ones to see which ones offer the most amenities and are close to work or the city transit system .

The pricing and floor plans all vary so let me know if you need more information. There are rentals available also.

 

 

Kimble House loft

 

As you can see some of the designs are fabulous.

I really loved this bookcase painted black on a blue wall.

All of these downtown lofts or condos I viewed today are either for sale or there are nearly identical ones available. Just give me a call and I can send more information to you.

Get It While You Can!

More information that you might need to know about "Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008″ and why you need to be buying your home now if you can. Weeks ago, I blogged about this and as a new buyer there is no time to waste for you to be out there looking at homes and nailing down your loan. Let's get busy! Call me to set up some listings to view. Below is an article by Brian Foxworth .

Lizette 859-979-2834

Via Brian Foxworth:

EmailAt 5:48 this evening I recieved an email that one of my Inveators was going to jump the gun. As of tomorrow, August 12 , 2008 they will no longer be purchasing any FHA loans with Down Payment Assistance.

As you have all heard the New Housing Bill, "Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008″ , called for the Elimination of Down Payment Assistance Programs -such as Nehemiah and AmeriDream that help thousands of buyers a year be able to purchase their first home - as of October 1st 2008. However, this one Investor (we have several we sell loans to) has decided to make it their policy to not accept Down Payment Assistance as of August 12, 2008 - even though a new bill has been presented to save the Down Payment Assistance Programs.

  The FHA Seller-Financed Downpayment Reform and Risk-Based Pricing Authorization Act of 2008 (H.R. 6694) was introduced by several members of Congress on Thursday, July 31, 2008.  Representatives Maxine Waters, Gary Miller, Al Green and Christopher Shays sponsored this bill that if passed and signed into law will allow downpayment assistance to continue indefinitely. House Flying

My hope is that my clients who have been taking their time to find the best home for their family do not miss the opportunity to own their own home due to other Investors and  Banks following one Investor to eliminate Down Payment Assistance earlier than written into law before HR 6694  has been passed and signed into law. I'm not ussually a "Doom & Gloom" Loan Officer and I don't mean to sound like one now; however, all Buyers who need to use Down Payment Assistance to make the Down Payment on their home needs to Apply now before it's too late.

Here in South Carolina, their are Builders reducing their Asking Price 10-15% and knowledgable Buyers Agents are negotiating for even more Equity for their Clients. Now is the time to purchase your new home.

Don't wait - it might be too late...

Loft Photography

Tomorrow, I will be touring the downtown condos and lofts in Lexington Kentucky. The photography opportunities are endless.

I find myself leaning more and more toward the clean lines of a modern loft. Many people are making their homes in the new buildings in the heart of the city. It's nice to see new homes created along with new stores. Teresa Boardman's pictures are always exquisite! Love her attention to detail!

Via Teresa Boardman:

Sometimes I just have too much fun. Lofts are fun to photograph.  They have huge windows and a lot of light.  I like to take my property shots using natural light.  I warm up the photo or cool it down by adjusting the temperature when I process it.

It is possible to take a small loft and get ten or more photos of it. The trick is to mentally divide it into seperate spaces.  Maybe there is a desk in the corner so I will shoot it seperatly and just show the area around the desk.  For this loft I have 20 photos. 

Taking pictures of rooms is a huge challnege, I find most anything to be easier to shoot than a room.  When this one is put on the market I will incude a link with more information about it, just in case the general pbulic really does look at active rain.

Details about unit #507, 9th Street Lofts

Madison Bank Opens New Financial Center In Historic Richmond Kentucky

Madison Bank Opens New Financial Center In Historic Richmond Kentucky

Madison Bank 

History and tradition is thriving in Richmond Kentucky.

Downtown Richmond Main Street renovations have all included a nod to the past when it comes time to remodel or restore the heritage of the county. Madison Bank has lovingly restored this building that as I first remember in the 60's as the Begley Drug Store then later was an antique store.

Madison Bank

This financial center will offer a quaint atmosphere with enhanced services along with a full range of products. There will be a second location added in Kingston Center by late summer 2008. The Madison Bank main office is located in Gibson Bay in Richmond, KY.
