IMPORTANT NOTE--And here is the information about how and why you will get built-in immediate bonus equity plus all new exterior siding (Hardie Panel), all new windows and sliding doors (both Marvin), and more--all installed by highly reputable local contractors. First, this home has spectacular bones, but its current exterior stucco and windows are defective (not uncommon these days). This is a known issue with this set of homes. Second, Seller has received detailed quotes for this work from two experienced and reputable contractors (quotes available upon request). Third, both these quotes came out in the $160,000 range for extensive work to the entire home shell. Fourth, this work is set to go for the new buyer. Fifth, once complete, Buyer will have a brand-new home envelope with the highest end exterior finishes and immediate equity since they will be in for under $700,000. Sixth, if buyer prefers a less expensive exterior finish and less expensive windows, or if they know a reputable contractor who is less expensive, they have that option as well to further reduce their costs. Seventh, this work must be done. The home needs a new shell. At the same time, the seller has taken exquisite care of the interior. She loved this home and cared for it. And is now moving out of the region. Eighth, this home is eligible for a conventional mortgage. Buyer will need to have or borrow the funds to complete the work.
