 and welcome once again to another edition of the Red Brun and Williams Real Estate Show. I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day. And I guess we could say happy Thanksgiving because we just had a great Thanksgiving. We did. Hopefully everybody had a very blessed Thanksgiving and is ready for the rest of the holiday season. Yeah, we are officially in the holiday craziness that leads up to Christmas and New Year's. But you guys in your business that could be a busy time for you all. It can. Surprisingly, there's a lot going on in those time frames. And my real estate minute, I'm actually going over why it's a great time to keep your house listed or to go ahead and list your house during the holidays. And I guess a lot of that is, you know, kids are home from school and you've got that time as a family that you can kind of make family decisions. And plus, no question, we're coming out of Thanksgiving and into Christmas. These houses may feel a little bit tight right now. Exactly. You've got kids off school for different holidays. You've got the toys piling up after Christmas. So yeah, looking for an upgrade might be around the first of the year. All right. And we've got some interesting options for you today. As far as part of the show, and a lot of the show today is about an auction or some auctions that are gonna happen. We've got a couple of reserve auctions and some absolutes to talk about. The first one that we're gonna mention is actually in Painesville. It is. This one is on Court Street in Painesville at 712 Court Street. All of these auctions do have signs posted. So if you do drive-by's, feel free on any of the auctions we talk about. And that location in Court Street is right downtown Painesville. And this one is going to be December the 8th at 11 o'clock. So you can, on this one, schedule is showing ahead of time if you want by calling the Painesville office. Or you can show up an hour before that morning and kind of do a walk-through, correct? Absolutely. The properties will be completely open an hour before that morning. So at 10 a.m., somebody will be there to allow you to walk through. Or if that timeframe doesn't work for you, our Painesville office can set up showings for any time that's convenient. Right. Now this one does have a reserve. So there is a price point that needs to be met. But above that, what is it 10% that they need to have the day of the auction? That's correct. The typical terms for an auction are 10% down the day of the auction. And then the rest is gonna be paid within a typical closing time. So 45 to 60 days is what you're looking for for the rest of it. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. Just over 1,700 square feet. That's correct. And then this one also has the outdoor space. You got a private rear patio. You have a detached garage. Your walking distance to all the schools, downtown shopping, restaurants. Anything downtown is right there and convenient. And we talk about a lot how downtown Painesville is changing and growing and it becoming more attractive. But 712 Court Street is this one. Again, that auction is going to be December the 8th at 11 o'clock. So if you have any questions on that, call the Painesville office, correct? Absolutely. Call the Painesville office, the number 606-789-8119. And both of the auctions in Painesville actually do have MLS numbers. They're actually listed properties. So you can actually look them up on the website as well. All right. Now the next one, now this could be a little bit confusing. It's another reserve auction, but it's the same day, December the 8th. But this one is later in the afternoon. So if you miss your opportunity on the first one, you can come back. Next one is at two o'clock. Correct. And the same thing applies, it will be open an hour before. So starting at one PM on that same day, the property will be open for you to look at or you can schedule an appointment beforehand to go through the property. This one is four bedrooms, two bathrooms. Now this one is pushing 4,000 square feet. So this is a really spacious home. And you can tell from some of the pictures, you can tell you've got a big kitchen, you've got a big living room and all of it looks to be open. Yes, it is. It's a fairly open layout. It's that old Southern plantation home style and layout with the big front porch and all that. The great thing about this one is, you are still in the downtown area. You're right there on Richmond, in the Richmond Village area out towards the golf course, but it comes with a half acre lot. So you're getting something in a progressive downtown area or close to downtown Paintsville, but it's like you're stepping back in time with the house that you could potentially get. Absolutely. This is one that will definitely take you back in time, but it's got a lot of amenities that somebody's really gonna like. It actually comes with a second kitchen in the main house. It's got a first floor bedroom. And then this one actually has a smaller second home on the property that would be great for rental potential or something like that. And it's always positive when you can talk about a home and then say this could also help you make your mortgage payment when you've got that second or that possible rental opportunity. And this one does come with that. This one, again, is a reserve auction. So it's hard to tell what it could go for. There is a minimum that you have to meet, but above that, I mean, who knows. These are interesting. Yeah, it's up to the people who want that piece of property. Again, this is December the 8th. This one is at two o'clock. And again, if you have any questions on either one of those two, contact the Paintsville office. Let's give that office number one more time. Okay, that number 606-789-8119. Okay, now we're switching gears a little bit. We're still gonna talk about an auction that's coming up, but this one is an absolute auction. So there's no minimum. This could be anything. And there are seven properties with this auction. And let's talk about how that's gonna work. How that's gonna work. An absolute auction, like you said, there is no minimum. Everything will be sold at the auction one way or the other. There are seven different properties, but they're all together. So it will be auctioned separately at seven different parcels. And then after that, we will actually auction it all as one. Whichever way it brings the most money is how it will actually sell. Now these are in the Verge area of Platt County. All of them are kind of together. I'm assuming they're with a family unit at some point. Right. This is, they're all right there on Long Fork. I'm gonna give you one of the addresses and then all of them are kind of right there together and again you can drive by and I think you'll be able to tell pretty easily what all is being sold. But if you go to 1784 Long Fork Road, that's kind of where everything starts and then everything is around in that area. So all of these are potential if you're somebody that's wanting to either expand your rental properties or get into, this would be a great starter way to get into rental properties. Yeah, exactly. Pretty much all of them have buildings on them. Most of them are houses. You have one old church. You have one that is gonna be sold as a one acre lot only. It has a mobile home on it now but that will not be sold with the property. And then you have one that's an older home that it would take a real some creativity to get it back in good order. So you can either look at it as a lot or a major fixture upper. The only difference with these, this is completely sold as is. So as you see it as it sits that day, that is how it's being sold. Okay, now this one again, what's the date on this auction? This one is December 15th, auction starts at 11 a.m. And again, viewing will start at 10 a.m. that day. This one is really interesting to me because you've got so many different things and it's going to be sold. So there's no reserve that has to be met. It's according to who comes and what they wanna bid. So those are always really interesting to me. But is the Pikeville office someplace they can call for this one? Absolutely, call the Pikeville office, the number 606-437-2333. Okay, now the last two pieces of property we're gonna talk about, these are actual listings we're out of the auction now and we'll talk about a couple homes. The first one is at Feds Creek. It is, so we're staying in Pike County. This is gonna be a ranch home that's around 1800 square feet and it sits right there on the main Feds Creek road. And I like this one because, a lot of times you talk about ranch homes and they're popular for people that don't want to do steps or can't do steps. So this one's all on one level. It is, it's all on one level. It is a brick ranch so you don't have to worry about all that maintenance or anything like that. It's a three-bedroom, one-bath and it sits on a really nice lot. You've got about a half acre lot with it. And this one is one that if you wanna come in and you fix it up and put your own touch to it, it's priced to where you can do that. When you're looking at the square footage, like you said, almost 1900 square feet, this one's listed for just over 100,000 and 109. So under 110,000, buy this one and use your extra budget to fix it how you want it. Exactly, and the agent even specifically puts on there that there's additional space on the sides and the rear of the house. So if it would be something that you need more space, you wanna add a bathroom or you wanna add an extra bedroom, it sounds like that you have the space to do that as well. And this was a good opportunity for somebody that wants to spend the money, be a homeowner and come in and own it, but yet you wanna do some of the work yourself or you want to make it your own because you're on a half acre. So you've got, like you said, plenty of space to expand. Exactly, you've got that space and then you also have a one-car garage with the house that can be great storage, can be used as a garage or you can finish it out and actually have it be part of the house as well. So I think this one is one that's gonna be attractive to the person who wants to put their own by the house. They don't wanna actually go through all the steps and take a couple of years to build one, but yet you wanna buy something and then make it your own. This would be perfect for that. A price 1099 on this one and it's right off Main Feds Creek Road so accessibility is not gonna be a problem. So this one's Tom Deskins listing. Let's talk about how to get ahold of him. Okay, you can call Tom in either office, Pockville or Painsville. The Pockville number 606-437-2333. Okay, now we'll end the show with another one of Tom's listings, but we'll jump back into Johnson County. This one is in Painsville. This one is in Painsville and this is a really interesting property. It's right there on Broadway, which if you're familiar at all with Painsville, it's kind of the main drag as you exit town but it's right there on the main drag. It's a lot of commercial space. So this is being marketed as a commercial building but of course you can tell in the pictures, it's a very cute older home. I know and I'm thinking of all the different commercial opportunities that whether it's retail and you want a cute retail with the store front and all that or you want to do an office space, this would fit both of those and it looks like there's a lot of space to be able to work with. Exactly, there's almost 1200 square feet. You've got three bedrooms and a bathroom. Of course that's with the old layout. You could easily make that three offices. You have a living area that would be great for a board room or a retail space, a showroom. Depending on what your need is but the main thing is you're right there on Broadway so whatever the commercial need is, you would have a great visibility. Right, this one is one where Location speaks for itself on this one because we've talked about how Painsville is growing and how a lot of people come in there to do business and this was like you said on the main road that goes through Painsville and this one is one that these opportunities don't come up very often. They don't, especially in this area. Exactly, not to purchase and it has a lot of those older home amenities. So the original hardwood flooring. So if you're doing it for a showroom or retail space you can really play up on that charming older home and make it really work for you. Right, and not very often that you can see commercial properties that can go either way. Sometimes we've done some in the past recently that we're like this was a former dentist office or doctor's office so it's set up with exam rooms. This one is set up to where you could really take whatever your retail business is and make it fit this piece of property and the outside of it is just, it almost looks, we're coming into Christmas so I've got gingerbread home. You know I can see the Christmas lights so there's a ton of possibilities with this one and like we said a great location. Yes, a great location. This one you can call the Paintsville office for more information on. That number 606-789-8119 and this one is also Tom's listing. Right, so ask for Tom and he'll take care of you. So we've kind of gone across the board today as far as we've had auctions, some reserve, some absolute and then some listings but every bit of this someone can find on your website. Absolutely, you can go to rbnw.com for more information on anything. All right, and as we mentioned at the beginning of the show in the real estate minute you're gonna talk about the holidays and why it's a good opportunity or a good time for you to list your property. Absolutely. Are the holidays a good time to list your home or to keep your home listed? Absolutely. There are many benefits to your home being on the market during the holiday season, including less competition. Your house will race to the top of the competition because it is not typically a heavy listing time. Decor, during the holidays your home looks and smells amazing. Don't go overboard but use the holiday decorations to your advantage. Serious buyers, if a potential buyer is out looking during the holidays and the colder weather, most probably they are seriously looking for a new home. Possibly a faster closing time. Typically the holidays tend to be a slower selling time so take advantage. Overburden lenders might be able to speed up your closing. All these points are great reasons to keep your house listed or to list your home during the holiday season. The realtors of Ray Brown and Williams will be honored to assist you with listing your home for the holidays. Thank you for watching the Ray Brown and Williams real estate show. See you again soon.
