Tornados and Walkout Basement Homes in Springfield, MO

Lina Robertson, REALTOR, Springfield MO Homes For Sale (RE/MAX Solutions) — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 01:15:38 -0400

I work with a lot of buyers from out of state. A large percentage of them ask for a home with a walkout basement. It is obvious that many of these buyers do not need the basement for the space. They are wanting shelter from tornados.

I recently worked with some buyers who had a basement home as their #1 criteria. Several months into the process, it was obvious that the only homes we were going to find that fit all of their other criteria were not going to have basements. We finally found one home that both husband and wife loved. The only problem...it didn't have a basement.

The husband finally asked me: "Aren't you worried about tornadoes?"
My response: "Not really. I suppose I'm used to them."

I'm a native in the Springfield/Ozark area. I have grown up around tornados and tornado warnings. (Knock on wood) I've not been blown away yet. Tornados are a part of life to natives of our area. I am actually more afraid of hurricanes and earthquakes, probably because I've never experienced one. I think our fears are rooted in what we are unfamiliar with.

As we sat down to write an offer, imagine my surprise when I pulled the Seller's Disclosures to find in big print at the top, "EXTENSIVE REMODELING IN 2006 DUE TO TORNADO DAMAGE." Hmmm. Great. My clients fears are justified. The husband asked HOW MUCH damage was done. A call to the listing agent confirmed that $120,000 worth of damage was done to the home. Since this home didn't have a basement, my clients wanted to know if the sellers were home when the tornado hit, and where they were in the house. The listing agent encouraged us to call the seller directly. Here's how the conversation went.

Me: Were you home at the time of the tornado?
Seller: Yes.

Me: Where were you in the house?
Seller: Well, my wife was in the hall bathroom, and I was on the front porch. The tornado hit about 1:00 a.m., and it was pitch black outside. We heard on the radio reports that the tornado was headed straight towards our home. I stood on our front porch for about 10 minutes. Finally, a bolt of lightening lit up the sky, and I could see it right across the street. My wife yelled, "Hurry up, it's coming." I turned and started for the hall bathroom and yelled, "No, it's here!" and barely got the door shut before the dining room windows broke.

Neither of the sellers were injured. Fortunately, their homeowners insurance paid for the damage, and the wife was thrilled that she was actually able to make numerous other upgrades throughout the home with the money they received from insurance.

After we hung up the phone, my client looked at me very seriously and said, "I can't buy that home. I don't believe the seller is in his right mind, and believe he is incapable of making any decisions regarding any contracts." My client honestly believed the sellers were mentally ill.

Maybe we are crazy. As I am writing this, there is a tornado warning in my area. The tornado sirens are on, and the electricity is flickering on and off. Me....I'm in my garage in a lawn chair with my laptop. As I peek out the garage door, I can see people standing in front of nearly every home down my street. What are they doing? Watching for the tornado....of course.

If you are thinking of moving to Springfield, Missouri, and have a fear of tornados, consider buying a walkout basement home. However, if a basement is not in your budget, visit Missouri Storm Shelters. For $3,500 you can have an inground concrete shelter installed....a price that costs much less than a basement home.

Selling a Home With Lina Robertson - RE/MAX Solutions - Springfield MO Real Estate

Lina Robertson, REALTOR, Springfield MO Homes For Sale (RE/MAX Solutions) — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 21:28:51 -0500

What To Expect From Lina Robertson When Selling Your Home in the Springfield MO Area

Are you thinking of selling your home in the Springfield MO area? There is much work to do and things to consider before hammering the real estate sign in your front yard. The first step being preparing your home to put on the market. Once your home is ready, it's time to interview prospective realtors. Most people don't know how to properly interview a realtor, and what questions to ask to point you to the realtor who is most qualified and likely to sell your home in the fastest time possible for the best price possible.

Nearly all realtors will put a sign in your yard and submit your listing to the Springfield MLS. They might even hold an open house and place an ad in the local newspaper. What do I offer that sets me apart?

Marketing - Let's face it...nobody buys a home out of the Springfield NewsLeader these days. It's all internet. If your agent is not heavy on internet advertising, your chances of selling are greatly diminished. Your home will be featured on each of my websites, including www.linarobertson.com, www.ozarks-realestate.com, and www.findozarkhomes.com. I will syndicate your listing across the internet to various real estate websites, including, but not limited to, Realtor.com, Remax.com, Trulia, Zillow, HotPads, Oodle, Yahoo!, GoogleBase, Craigslist, DotHomes, FrontDoor, Vast, BackPage, Enormo, Point2Homes, Homefinder, SecondSpace, Cyberhomes, Facebook and more.

Reporting - I will provide you with weekly reports showing how much activity you've received on the various websites, including how many views your listing has received, and how many people "clicked" on your listing for more information. In addition, you will be allowed full access to your listing on www.findozarkhomes.com, and be able to add your own marketing comments, and special features you love about your home.

Showing Feedback - Electronic lockboxes allow realtors to monitor the showings on their listings. Each morning I check my showings for the previous day and send feedback reports via www.HomeFeedback.com. The showing agent will be asked to answer questions regarding your home such as how the home showed, whether the price is above market, below market, or just right, what their buyer's thoughts were of the home, and any suggestions they may have regarding your home. The agent's feedback is automatically e-mailed to you so you're getting fresh, unfiltered feedback straight from the source.

Customer Service - Real estate is my full-time job. By full-time, I don't mean that I only work 40 hours per week. I work each time my phone rings. The phone number on the sign in your yard is my personal cell phone number. Prospective buyers will not have to be routed through my office or answering service, or be connected to an office voicemail that is only checked once a day. Their call comes straight to me. And yes....I answer my phone. :)

If you're considering selling your home in Springfield, Ozark, Nixa, Republic, Willard or Rogersville, call me. My proven innovative techniques and marketing strategies will ensure that your property will the maximum amount of exposure required to sell in today's tough market.
