Hooray for Hollywood - East

Judy Jennings - Realtor® Serving Plymouth & Barnstable Counties: Real Estate Agent in Middleboro, MA
I wrote an earlier article about Hollywood East in Plymouth MA.  Here are a few highlights of some of the things that have happened over the past few months:
 
Plymouth Rock Studios announced their first series (airing January 12th) which can only be seen on HollywoodEastTV.com. The series, "Plymouth Rock Studios" is a documentary/comedy that will follow the studio's executives, employees, interns as well as its partners and celebrity guests over the next two years.  I have signed on and look forward to being kept up-to-date on the progress.  Here is the link to their website if you would like to subscribe and watch as events unfold - Hollywood East TV.
 
The Producers Guild of America which has over 3,300 members, formed a two year alliance with Plymouth Rock Studios.  They will now serve as the presenting partner of the Producers Guild Awards held January 24th, and the inaugural to be held June 6-7.  Both events take place in Los Angeles.   Perhaps once the studio is constructed, they will host the event in Plymouth.
 
Plymouth Rock Studios formed an alliance with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  Studio officials plan to spend $25 million over seven years to fund the Center for Future Storytelling. In order to stay ahead of advancements in technology, the center will concentrate on enhancing imaging and display technologies, develop next generation cameras, in an attempt to make the storytelling process more cost effective and flexible. 
 
The project is currently undergoing the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) review process.  Construction was also conditional on obtaining a grant from the state for road infrastructure improvements.  Appartently, the state will pay for the work with bonds guaranteed by the studio.  Planned improvements will certainly be needed to accommodate the expected increase in traffic and correct problematic intersections.  To view plans and road infrastructure, vist The Studio.  

MA is certainly interested in capturing more revenue from the movie industry.  MA has seen an increase in spending over the years in the film industry.  It is anticipated that spending for 2008 will be in the range of $350 to $400 million as compared to $6 million in 2005.  Here is a list of Films Made in MA.  The list contains movies all the way back to 1903.  Make sure you check out the "films in production" tab for movies filmed in 2008.  

As a Realtor, I am optimistic that this will improve market conditions for the surrounding communities.  It might not happen over night, but as each day progresses toward the construction of this project, there is hope of better things to come.

Demand Inspections and Disclosures

12-25-08
Jim Savage
Jim Savage: Real Estate Agent in Plymouth, MA

Per your request, this article has been sent to you by Jim Savage of ERA Belsito & Associates.

Demand Inspections and Disclosures You can never be too trusting when it comes to buying real estate. The buyer is entitled to know what he/she is getting for their money. The buyer should insist on an inspection and full disclosure of the house being purchased. Why Do You Need an Inspection? An inspection is an opportunity to have an expert give you an oral and written report as to the condition of the property you are purchasing. After researching recent sales in the area, you decide that 30-year-old home for $180,000 is worth the money. You make an offer, which is accepted. The next step would be to hire an inspector. The report shows that the concrete foundation is cracked. The roof and plumbing need to be replaced. The cost for repairs adds up to $40,000. Your inspection contingency would let you back out of this deal or negotiate. Remember to accompany the inspector during the visit. He/She will give oral comments that give more specifics as to the problems of the property. When writing a report, the inspector must abide by certain legalities on paper. He/She will be more open in person. Why Do You Need Disclosures? In most states, the law requires the seller to disclose any knowledge about the condition or history of their home to the buyer. For example a seller would disclose information ranging from a leaking roof to their house being built on a sacred Indian burial site. Disclosure contingency gives you protection. Upon discovering the roof needs replacing, you can either back out of the deal or renegotiate for the cost of repairs. It also makes the seller responsible legally. A seller may go on record saying nothing is wrong with the house. You move into your newly purchased house only to discover that cracks in the foundation that were filled in and painted over. A court of law can view the disclosure statement as evidence that you had no prior knowledge. The seller is held liable for the repairs.

How Do You Get an Inspection? The inspection is written in as a contingency in your offer. Many real estate contracts automatically have an inspection written into the terms. The buyer is responsible for the inspector's fee. Ask your real estate agent to recommend a list of local inspectors. Please check references carefully. This type of service may not be regulated in your area. A retired city or county building inspector may be your best bet. There are two national trade organizations. One is the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) or the National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI). How Do You Get Disclosures? In Massachusetts, the law states that a disclosure statement is provided to the buyer; then the buyer has three days to approve or disapprove. If the buyer does find the defects acceptable then the agreement is broken. Your agent or attorney can clarify the laws pertaining to disclosures in your state. If there is no statutory procedure in your area, the buyer must request it as a contingency in the list of terms. Your investment is not worth being jeopardized. Insist on a home inspection and full disclosure. Make your purchase contingent on approving the results of both. A """"final walk-through"""" is not a home inspection. Structural problems are only revealed with a home inspection. A walk-through is designed to make sure the seller has not damaged the property since your first visit.
