Our Spring market is heading to FULL BLOOM. More homes are coming on the market to help with inventory shortage and rates remain reasonable for buyers.

SELLERS benefit by consulting with me prior to listing for updated market valuations and trends and helpful tips to prepare their home for the market.

BUYER CONSULTATIONS save time and answer many questions that will prepare them to make good decisions so they can succeed in this competitive market.

I am particularly grateful for my client’s referrals. My clients are the essential force in any success that I enjoy.

TESTIMONIALS…
“Would highly recommend Tom Wellin to anyone seeking help regarding
real estate transactions.” – Bismarck Seller and Buyer

“We cannot think of anything we could suggest Tom could do to improve
his professionalism, sincerity, or personality as a real estate professional.
Our only regret about Tom helping us sell our Bismarck home is that we
don’t have another one Tom could assist us in selling.”—Bismarck Seller

Summer is here so let’s enjoy it while it lasts!

A few seasonal items to enhance your joy of homeownership:

1. Have A/C and humidifier systems professionally cleaned/serviced to keep running efficiently in hot weather.
2. Remember to place/replace downspout extenders (after mowing) so they send water away from the foundation.
3. Review your insurance policy to be sure you are getting the best coverage at the best value.

The market is again hot so if you’re thinking of buying or selling now is the time to make the move.

Need help selling, donating, decluttering personal items? My assistant Nicole does an amazing job for my clients. Just give me a call.

Although interest rates are higher now, lenders are becoming creative in assisting buyers with incentives and interest rate buy-downs.  Should rates go lower, some lenders will refinance at no charge to the buyer.

SPRING MARKET IS BLOOMING!

The first wave of 2024 buyers and sellers is arriving.

Properties, in all price points, in good condition, are getting immediate interest from buyers. If you’re thinking about making a move in the next

 

twelve months, call me for a consultation and update of your home’s current market value.

In recent years I’ve served a growing number of clients who need to move themselves, a family member, friend or loved one, but are overwhelmed by the logistics of getting rid of furniture and personal items that are no longer of use. My professional assistant and I have been able to help  clients solve these    issues with as minimum of stress as   possible. If you or someone you know has this need please contact me.

As the Spring weather arrives, remember to adjust down spouts and have gutters (professionally) cleaned so water flows away from your home’s foundation, thus saving you from costly damage and repairs.

I am grateful for you sending me those you know who have a need to buy or sell in Real Estate.  I love helping my clients!

Listings— Do You Know a Buyer for…

539 Brandon PL Unit 301—  Convenient Condo Living! 55+, no pets, no smoking, no shoveling snow and no lawn mowing!  2 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage.  Move-In Ready!  Condo fee only $175/mo.

Autumn Greetings!

The market continues to be strong in spite of continually rising interest rates.

Lenders are     creative in their home loan packages with options to buy down points/rates, waiving of certain fees and even the option to refinance – without any costs – should the rates subside after purchase.

Some sellers are offering to buy down points for the buyer as well.  We are also seeing a good number of price reductions and motivated sellers now.

Naturally, as a homeowner, you’ll want to take care of winterizing your home to  protect your most   valuable asset.  Have heating system serviced by a professional, trim back overgrown shrubs, have gutters and downspouts professionally cleaned – also be sure roof/furnace/dryer vents are clear, cover window wells to prevent snow/ice buildup.

Here’s wishing you a wonderful Spring Season.  I’m copying this to Mother Nature as well as this season needs a little more encouragement than usual!

As a home owner, do a thorough evaluation of the exterior condition of your home. It’s been a rough winter.  You can eyeball siding, door and window frames, window wells, foundations, gutters & downspouts, landscaping, etc.  If you see any issues contact your insurance company so an adjuster can take a closer look for insured items.  Always engage a professional to examine shingles and gutters as this can be a dangerous undertaking otherwise.

Lenders are doing their best to ‘hold the line’ on interest rates with more options for buyer     financing and buy-downs of interest rates.  Our Single Family Home inventory is at 146 properties for Bismarck-Mandan-Lincoln – good selection in all price ranges.

If you’re in need of lawn care, home maintenance, interior or exterior professionals give me a call.  I can refer service providers that my clients have used with satisfaction and success.

I am grateful for you sending me those you know who have a need to buy or sell in Real Estate. 

Happy New Year! I am grateful for the opportunity to serve your needs in Real Estate in the past, present, and future.

2023 is here and our Real Estate Market is thriving.  Interest rates have stabilized recently, and lenders are offering creative incent-

ives to accommodate “American Dream Seekers”.  For sellers, this means pre-qualified buyers are out there and ready to buy.  Recently, I had 26 visitors to an Open House and we went into contract the next morning.

North Dakota Winters are a challenge for homeowners! Be sure to check smoke and C02 detector batteries, have furnaces serviced, replace air filters, clear snow away from the foundations.  Coverings over window wells are also a good idea.  Keep exterior vents clear too.

Many homeowners have called me about receiving offers in the mail to “buy your home for cash – as is” or other ‘too good to be true’ claims. If you or someone you know has a question about property values, give me a call. I am happy to provide accurate up-to-date information.

Have a blessed new Year!
