Marcie Purcell, Bucks & Montgomery Co PA Realtor

In The Past Few Months More People Have Asked Me If I Am Staying In Real Estate For 2009. Most Of Time I Get The Question "Are You Still Doing Real Estate? It Must Be Tough With The Market..."

My Answer Is "Yes I Am And Yes It Did Get Tougher" But Here Is Why I Am Still Selling Real Estate!

Everyone Needs A Place To Live, Real Estate Is A Life Skill, Meeting New People, Negotiating For Buyers and Sellers, Making You Own Hours And Not Punching A Clock, Seeing Changes In Fixer-Uppers, The Knowledge To Buy And Sell Properties, Knowing The Local Area & Market, Working With A Great Partner - Linda Tremblay, First Time Home Buyers, Bucks County Farmhouses, &

Because I LOVE IT!

The Agreement Of Sale Contract Used To Purchase A Property In Pennsylvania Is Detailed And Has Many Options To Protect Buyers And Sellers. When The Buyer Makes An Offer To A Seller There Are Often Inspection Contingency. In The Contingency Paragraph There Are 2 Options To Choose. The Options Apply To Your Property Inspection, Wood Infestation Inspection, Radon Insepection, Water and Sewer Inspection. Option 2 Is Different When Making An Offer With A Property With On Site Sewer/ Septic Systems.

Option 1: (Time Period Is Usually 15 Days From Accepted Agreement Of Sale But Could Be Shorter or Longer As Long As Seller And Buyer Agrees.)

1) Accept the property with the information stated in the reports.

2) If Buyer is not satisfied with the information stated in the reports, terminate the agreement by written notice to the seller, with all deposit monies returned to the buyer.

3) Enter Into A Mutually acceptable written agreement with the seller providing for any repairs or improvements to the property and/or any credit buyer at settlement, as accepted by the mortgage lender.

**** If the Buyer And Seller Do Not Reach A Written Agreement During The Specified Contingency Period, and Buyer Does Not Terminate The Agreement In Writing To The Seller Within That Time, Buyer Will Accept The Property.

Stay Tune For Information On Option 2. I will provide the Inpections Option 2 and the Septic Option 2.

I took A Drive Last Week Around Haycock Township, Bucks County! It Was A Gorgeous Day Almost The Perfect Temperture And The Sun Was Shining. My Trans Am Had The T-Tops Off In October And Tom Petty Was Blasting! Could It Get Any Better? (I Don't Believe It Could Have)

I Have A Website For My Farm Area Which Is www.HomesInHaycock.com And I Have Been Wanting To Pictures Of For Awhile To Show How Beautiful It Really Is. Plus It Was A Great Excuse To Get Outside.

Haycock Township Is About 10 Miles Outside Of Quakertown. It Is Out In The Country. There Are Places To Hunt And Fish On State Game Lands And Parks. Places To Go Camping. There Are 2 Lakes, Lake Towhee and Lake Nockamixon.

If You Are Looking To Find Out More About The Area Contact Me. I Would Love To Tell You More And Show You What You Could Be Your New Home In The Country.
