ARE YOU RETIRED? ARE YOU NEARING RETIREMENT? IS RETIREMENT ON THE HORIZON? YOU NEED TO CALL ME AND MY TEAM TO DISCUSS YOUR SNOW BIRD/RETIREMENT REAL ESTATE OPTIONS. I can give speak from personal experience. Though far from retirement, my husband and I have made to leap and become "Snowflakes". What is a "Snowflake", you ask? If a "Snow Bird" spends the winter in a warm climate, a "Snowflake" leaves the cold North country for a week or two or just a long week to thraw out before returning back up North. We now have a second home is a community made-up of Retirees amd Non-Retirees, some who are year-round residents, wintering "Snow Birds" or those who just come and go, "Snowflakes" like us. Over the years I have assisted many local homeowners make to move to various types of retirement home ownership (single family homes, condos, both age-restricted and non-age restricted communities, rentals, etc.) and in various localities (Central and Southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, Florida and the Southwest) to name a few. In fact, one group of retirees who settled in the same area formed the "Marlene Ginsberg Breakfast Club" that meets weekly to socialize over breakfast at a local restaurant. So we must be doing something right. 
Accepting An Offer >Purchase Negotiations
If you are selling your home, you should be prepared for the day your first offer comes in. When your real estate agent calls to say there is an offer on your home, you will naturally get excited. When your agent describes the offer, you will probably experience an adrenaline rush. Whether the offer is good or bad, you should just remain calm--and discuss a counter-offer with your agent. The negotiations of a purchase begin with the buyer's ideal terms and a counter offer that communicates the seller's ideal terms.
A good agent will look beyond the price when evaluating an offer. If the buyers' financial qualifications are shaky or the offer includes potentially problematic terms or conditions, your real estate agent should be there to minimize any risk to you and to address these items in your counter-offer. Your agent's job is not to make a decision for you, but to be sure that you understand fully what the offer includes and what is expected.
