Birmingham Alabama Real Estate

Bodean’s Barbeque

Bodean’s is a new BBQ restaurant in Alabaster, Alabama located directly across from the Shelby County Hospital. (In the old Dairy Queen). Although new to Alabaster, Bodean’s is better known from their days in Homewood  where they earned a reputation for great food.  Although Bodean’s has been open for a few months, I really didn’t have the opportunity to give them a try until this weekend.  

I heard some people talking about how great the baked potatoes were from Bodean’s at the store and I just had to give one a try.  It was everything I had ever hoped for in a baked potato! Ok, I know what you are thinking, it was just a potato.  But the beauty was in the simplicity.  I often get baked potatoes from restaurants where there is either way too much toppings, or way too little, but Bodean’s was perfect!

Bodean’s offers much more than potatoes.  For a complete menu, I suggest stopping at their restaurant and picking one up.  While you are there, grab a potato to go.

I can’t beleive this is happening again!

Not only did they steal graphics and code off this website but another of mine as well!

That’s right folks, the same person that stole copyrighted material off this website has taken it upon himself to steal the same code off another of my websites. It is hard to belive that a real estate broker here in Birmingham and a professional web design company would have to stoop so low as to steal copyrighted material from another Realtor® here in Birmingham, Alabama.

Not only was this broker supplied an option to pay a license fee, he was dealt with reasonably, and as fair as possible considering my frustration of having my copyright violated.

Unbelievable.

Home Inspection Reports

Sometimes your home inspection report is the least of your concerns when investing in real estate in Birmingham, Alabama. Having the repairs or problems corrected by the seller sometimes is your biggest hassel.

Depending on the negotiated sales price, you can have a seller that will readily make repairs and concessions or vice versa. Regardless of your situation, remember that most sales contracts, or at least ours, require title to be passed on a home in good working condition. What does that mean to you the buyer? Well, it means that things like doors should open and close and the plumbing should be in good working order without leaks or drips.

Experience has shown that a home sold to a buyer at a price the seller thought “good”, usually brings out a willingness to make these repairs. Experience has also shown, by the time they make these repairs, their gross profit price usually ends up closer to what it would be at the fair market value. Funny how that works?

What does this mean to a seller. Simple, make minor repairs before listing! In all likelyhood you will end up making a money on the repairs and increasing your profits. Otherwise, these repairs will jeopardize your sales contract closing and in the long run cost you money not only in repairs, but in the cost of marketing your home.

This is going to be a beautiful weekend in Birmingham, go shopping for homes!
