Max ! Congratulations on your well- deserved award ! Well , my fancy new showerhead arrived today and I thought of you --- I tried to explain my giggles to a friend who was with me when I opened the box , but she didn't understand and finally said " I guess you had to be there ....." I really loved this house --- the renovations are great and she put a super bathtub in the upstairs primary ( which is a pet- peeve of mine. ) The floor plan is so flowing and the unfinished basement has a lot of potential. I think that I am the subscriber who told you about the classic shades of Colonial Blue ... There are certain shades of it but still remains true Colonial Blue. It's a wonderful choice for such a neighborhood of old and proper houses. I see that Spring has arrived in central Virginia , so pretty ! -- Sharon in South Florida where we're having nice weather too before the heat and humidity descend in June.
Yes, I feel so smart now when I use "colonial blue." Thanks for the intel. The showerhead will clearly remain an inside joke :-) Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate you.
Hi Max, CONGRATS on your Award. I like this Home Except for the Basement, For which I didnt care at all. Overall this home is very Roomy and well detailed. Price is not bad at all. Good videos Max, Have a great weekend 😊
Hello, Max, This home is very lovely!! I love the color scheme inside and outside!! From room to room is pure perfection!! Great structure and plenty of flair!! You really brought this one home!! Thank You for everything that you do for your viewers!! ❤😊!!
Max, I wish you would not trivialize the "rent vs. buy" argument. You imply that buying is always the right option, but there are other ways to build equity. You already know that buying a home comes with certain unrecoverable costs, including : closing costs, mortgage interest, HOA fees, property taxes, maintenance, etc. These are costs that are not there when you rent or are there in smaller amounts. So implying that all your money goes towards equity is simply not true. In fact, the unecoverable costs might rival the amount of the rent. One strategy people use is to rent and invest the extra money into stocks and bonds. These assets appreciate far more quickly than real estate does. In fact, this approach can be more lucrative depending on your circumstances. I'm not saying that owning a home is a bad thing, but I wish you would not just oversimplify this topic. There are pros and cons to each path. There is so much research that exists in the "rent vs. buy" topic. Check out the video by Ben Felix called "Renting vs Buying: the 5% rule".
You are correct. Buying is not always the right option for everyone at every stage of their life. My comments were geared toward people that think it is an awful time for anyone to buy now due to prices and/or rates. All other things being equal, homeowners have a higher net worth than non-owners. Individuals can still invest in the stock market as owners. It is not an either / or situation. There are people in the last decades of their lives with less than $10K in liquid assets but they made the decision to buy a home decades ago and now have hundreds of thousands in equity that they otherwise would not have. It is a type of forced savings that makes a huge impact on net worth over time, Many of these owners don't understand the market or choose to not invest in stocks for one of many possible reasons. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you.
Hello👋🏽 thank you for this information, truly. Of course there are pro & cons to literally everything. But, the job, goal, motivation of a real estate broker is to sell real estate. Even more so, one who is both passionate and knowledgeable about helping home seekers & sellers. Note:actually helping. Thank you Max. I have learned a lot and am preparing to sell my small property the Richmond, VA area. Due to these videos, Max is my 1st realtor of choice. Hands down. This is a nice house.
