Take a look at one of our latest rehabs that Hampden Homebuyers will soon be wrapping up.
This is a 4 bed 2 full bath cape located in an amazing neighborhood. We’ll call it Butternut Hollow.
The house suffered from quite a bit of deferred maintenance and needed considerable updating and upgrading.
Our renovation will consist of a new roof, new siding, new windows, complete overhaul of the landscaping, new kitchen, new baths, running a new gas line, new heating system, new central air, opening up the floorplan and many other improvements.
The backyard and side yards are really overgrown so we have to do lots of tree removal.
The interior needs some help!! Have a look:
We are doing some really nice finishes in this property and I can’t wait to see the completed project!!
We should be wrapping up construction shortly so it will be going up for sale soon. Get in touch with us if you are interested in having a look at this amazing home before it is Sold!

Hello all my great readers!!
Cory Lowe and Trae Mindiola over at RepublicPropertyTax.com put together an informative article for our site about some of the major factors that determine a home’s value. Cory and Trae specialize in working with property owners to help them save money on their property taxes.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
You may not worry much about your home’s value, but it will be important when you finally decide that it is time to sell your house. Even if selling your home is in the distant future, there are things you can do now to make sure that you get top dollar for the property. Here are some factors that can affect the value of your home and how much you will be able to get for it.
The market is filled with homes that can be customized to suit the buyers, which means that your home will lose value if you have not done any updates. In order to improve your home, install granite countertops, buy modern appliances and install new carpet or flooring. You may even want to add a fresh coat of paint to the walls or update the light fixtures in each room.
If your house has any issues with the foundation or the structure itself, then your home’s value could drop drastically. In order to get the best price possible, you should make sure that the roof is in good condition and that there are no visible signs of foundation problems. You also should check the drywall of your home and identify any cracks that are greater than .25 inches wide.
Potential buyers will begin to make judgments about your home as soon as it comes into view, which means that you need to keep the exterior looking as nice as possible. If you have siding, make sure that it is clean and does not have chipped or peeling paint. Mow the grass, maintain the garden and remove any trash or debris from the property.
While it may seem as though the value of your home should only be based on the house itself, this is not the case. The other structures and features on the property also have strong influences on how much you can get for your home. Swimming pools can be either a detriment or a benefit depending on the market. A nice garage will raise the home’s value, and a good fence will appeal to those who want to define property lines or keep their pets and children safe.
The location of your home is the primary factor in determining its value. If you are close to railroad tracks or an airport, potential buyers may be concerned about the noise pollution. Nearby foreclosures could also cause the value of your home to fall, as will numerous rental properties in the neighborhood. Your home’s value may also be affected by rezoning laws and current crime rates. In order to reduce the negative effects of your home’s location, keep it looking as appealing and pristine as possible.
The value of your home is determined by many things, and you may not have control over all of the factors. The best thing you can do to improve your home’s value is to keep it looking clean and maintained so that any negative features will seem inconsequential.

Things are getting crazy here in the great city of Springfield MA. The market is on the move and we are buying and selling houses like it is going out of style.
One recent project that we are wrapping up is this amazing rehab in South Hadley. (Seen Below)
We purchased this home as a short sale after it had sat vacant for some time. Obviously the yard got a bit overgrown and needed some TLC. The inside was just as messy due to some water damage from a couple burst pipes and a dated interior.
Here are some interior photos:
So there’s a look at the interior.
In the backyard we have an awesome heated pool that would make Hugh Hefner jealous!!. Here is a look at it:
Hahaha…. so this pool gives a new meaning to Walk the Plank!!
We’ve been so busy the house flipping blog hasn’t been getting as many updates, but we have a whole slew of projects in the works so more updates will be on the way.

I just inherited a house, but I have no idea what to do with it and even if I did I really have no idea what the probate process is? This is the exact thought that goes through anyone’s head that has been in the situation of inheriting a property. The process of liquidating all of the assets that a person leaves behind and paying off any debts is called Probate. Now even if there was a Will a Probate case will still need to opened with a Probate Attorney in order to make sure that any creditors can come forward with a claim for any money that may have been owed to them. So getting in touch with an Attorney would be the first step in beginning to deal with this process. Once that has taken place you will be informed by the Attorney how long the Probate case will need to be open (generally that time period is 4 months), which basically means how long until all of the remaining assets can be split up amongst the beneficiaries. At this point if the decision of the beneficiaries is to sell any property left behind, it would be in their best interest to begin trying to find a buyer.
The problem that often occurs with trying to find a buyer for Probate real estate, is that generally the houses are either in varying degrees of disrepair or they are very outdated. Both of these things can really deter an owner occupant financed buyer who would be looking for a house that they and their family can move into. If the house is in need of a lot of repair often times it will not even be financiable, which means most buyers could not even buy it if they wanted to. Also if the house needs to be completely updated it can often be very unappealing to an owner occupied buyer because there is just too much work for them to handle. This is when calling Hampden Homebuyers to sell Probate real estate can make your life very easy! Hampden Homebuyers specializes in buying houses that are in need of minor TLC & updating to major renovation & repair, and in addition we buy with cash so there is never any chance of financing falling through. We will also close on the date of your choice, which can really help when probate paperwork doesn’t get completed on time or when its supposed to (which happens a lot).

We make selling property easy, which in most probate situations is exactly what the beneficiaries are looking for.
