Episode 1: Get Move-in Ready with Long and Foster’s “Lift”

Welcome to Home Sweet Maryland Home, the real estate podcast that answers all of your questions about selling and buying a home in the Baltimore Metro region.

In today's complex, competitive, and somewhat chaotic housing market, having the ability to list a house as “move-in ready,” with needed repairs and refreshes already done, positions the seller as someone ready to do business. Long and Foster's Lift program helps get Baltimore sellers ready to deal with access to up to $50,000 to finance pre-listing repairs and refreshes. Better yet, everything is taken care of at closing, so there are no upfront costs.

In this episode, I talk with Danielle Weinreb of Notable Finance, who partnered with Long and Foster to develop Lift. Danielle walks us through the “Why” of the program, its remarkable flexibility, and how it benefits both sellers and buyers looking for that “move-in ready” home.

I also talk with Fred Maskeroni, senior inspector of Insight Inspections. Fred details the pre-listing inspection that helps sellers set the scope of work and decide how best to take advantage of Long and Foster’s Lift program.
