What's The Difference Between a Townhome and a Condominium

A Townhouse  or Townhome is a style of construction, where as a Condominium and Co-op are forms of ownership. A townhouse is basically a building or unit that shares a common wall with the building or unit next door. The walls are usually straight and entry is usually from the ground floor. Townhouses usually have two or more stories. A townhouse can also be a style of condominium. Townhomes may have an attached garage or carport for parking.

A Condominium  is a form of ownership. You own the actual structure of the building jointly with the other members of the association, along with common areas such as swimming pools, tennis courts or other common areas. Individually, you own the airspace and interior of the structure, but not the building itself. You and the other members of the association own the structure together.

A Co-op is also a form of ownership where each member of the cooperative own shares of a corporation or organization that owns the larger structure, and ownership of those shares gives you the right to occupy a specific unit or apartment.

Seller Stay Put, Remodels Townhome and Today Was Open House

Last week I was called and invited to my Sellers' House Warming to day for his remodel. A number of months ago we discussed that he could not get what he had hoped for his current home and the prices on a replacement had not dropped low  enough so he decided that it was time to re-fashion the current home to give it a brand new look. It looks totally new from top to bottom, Nothing seemed original other than the original walls and the windows placement.

They did go a little over budget but he is so pleased and the place looks so totally wonderful. Stupid me, I didn't even think to take the camera so I could add some pictures on this post. I will add them the next time I out near his place. 

The all stainless appliance Kitchen with  mellow cherry cabinet finish was gorgeous. The baths are gorgeous and I am so envious for all the creative use of stone. Every detail was better than I even imagined.

One of the neighbors said, what he liked most about me was that I seem to think more about my clients than earning a commission. He said, if he had to sell, he was not sure who he would have used. Now, he says, You are the one. Of course other neighbors joined in and one neighbor I had referred to in another post said they think of me as the community ambassador. That might be a new term I could use in marketing there. Maybe time to rethink about doing another newsletter. I haven't done one in years because it always took me to long to write it. With blogging now so important, I could use articles I write here on ActiveRain and produce a pretty good newsletter.

This day was another one of those great days that make all the work we do so worth while. Yes, I didn't sell anything but I think I cemented some realy great relationships today! A Great Day!
