Durante & Rich Real Estate focuses on property management to residential real estate - single family homes, townhomes, condos, and small multi-family units. Most of our clients have just one property. We have an owner that uses the same process for his investment properties so our program is well tested and efficient. We have been managing residential properties since 1998 and have a team (not just a one person) to help you.

"Do not give these people your business. Let my year spent in an unheated, dilapidated property, that was received dirty, with an inaccurate listing be a free lesson to you. Look elsewhere."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

If the appraised value comes in lower than an offer, a buyer will normally be able to back out because a low appraisal can prevent a mortgage from going to underwriting. The buyer can also try to negotiate for a lower sale price or offer to put down more cash to bridge the appraisal gap.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. 

A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.

Yes, coffered ceilings add value to a home. They’re a timeless addition that creates an instant focal point in a room and makes it feel luxurious, no matter the style. This can catch the eye of potential homebuyers and get them excited about the home, providing you with a return on your investment.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.
