Richmond Area Golf Course Real Estate: Country Club Fees
The first of a multiple article series on Richmond area Golf Course Real Estate…Buying real estate on or near a golf course can be a very good investment and offer some great leisure perks. We live on a golf course and love it. As a golfer there is nothing better than slipping out for a few holes late in the day. Living on a golf course or in a golf course community can make coming home feel like coming home to a vacation at a resort. In addition to golf, there is tennis, swimming, work-out facilities, club dining options etc.
This comes at a cost however, country clubs are not cheap and they are a luxury. Joining a country club is lifestyle decision for sure. Most area private country clubs require an initiation fee to join and many involve a detailed membership application process. Just because you have the cash doesn’t guarantee membership. Most of the processes are pretty easy especially if you know someone who is a member, but a few require more work like letters of recommendation, interviews, etc. Read the rest of this entry »
MILLER and RHOADS Alive Again!
What a refreshing news story in the Monday business section of the Richmond Times Dispatch! The story outlined the new hotel and condo project in the old MILLER & RHOADS Department Store building. Of late it seems like most stories of businesses, real estate, etc. are full of doom and gloom, but this story made me feel good. As a native Richmonder it was always a little sad to drive past the closed MILLER & RHOADS Department Store. Like many Richmonders the store took me back to my childhood with very fond memories of visiting Santa, having lunch in the Tea Room and experiencing “Downtown”. I am really looking forward to checking out the “New MILLER & RHODES”! Read the rest of this entry »
Spotlight on Ginter Park
Last weekend my wife and I headed over to the Bellevue area of Ginter Park for dinner at TasteBuds on MacArthur Ave. Dinner was great and as we left we commented (as we always do when we venture to “Northside”) what a cool, hidden gem this area is. I couldn’t help but knock out a quick article about the area to let the cat out of the bag. Read the rest of this entry »
Don’t Overlook Neighborhood Issues When Buying A Richmond Home
When buying a home in the Richmond area, don’t overlook these important neighborhood issues: quality of schools, traffic noise, upcoming zoning issues, neighborhood stability, home turnover, crime levels and the presence of any sex offenders. Just about all these issues can be researched online from the comfort of your home. This is also where a quality REALTOR can assist. Sometimes there is a reason for a “great deal” on a property and the reason can make a purchase a bad investment if there is a negative neighborhood issue.

Cash Gives You An Edge When Buying Richmond Real Estate
In these difficult and challenging times cash can give you an edge in buying a home. Cash, equtes to more buying clout now in these tough financial times. In the past, people have sought out more liquid investments for their cash on hand and grab an easy to get low interest mortgage. Today with the equity markets depressed at the same time that mortgage lending has tightened the tables have turned. Those wielding ready cash in a recession are always ahead of the game. Having cash gives you a leg up in securing better terms for your mortgage and in negotiating with sellers. Sellers that know you are well qualified will spend much more time negotiating because you will be viewed as serious buyer. Read the rest of this entry »
Curb Appeal Matters When Selling!
Don’t underestimate the importance of curb appeal when selling your Richmond home. Not only is there an acute price war going on out there, there’s also a beauty contest being staged. Richmond has many great looking homes on the market all over town. You may be strategically located in a quiet cul-de-sac near great schools, great health care facilities and fabulous shopping, and you may have easy highway access for that morning commute, but unless your exterior is well coiffed and in sparkling condition, other offerings will outshine it. If your home’s outside doesn’t pass the drive by test, the interior won’t, because it will not be viewed by serious buyers, who are already off to view the next Richmond home on their list.
