Barbara Nalls and Long and Foster Real Estate are very pleased to welcome you to this uniquely elegant home in the heart of one of Bethesda’s most popular communities, Kenwood Park.
Nothing “cookie cutter here! From the moment you enter you sense a charm and grace hard to find in area homes. Modest from the street, and quietly private, once inside you are immediately struck by the proportions and thoughtful design. There’s a central hall foyer, a wonderful updated kitchen and intimate family room addition, very large living / dining rooms with walls of glass overlooking the deck and beautifully wooded property, anchored by a beautiful masonary fireplace. The level above features three very generous family bedrooms and two full baths. On a lower level there is an elegant guest bath, another bright bedroom, and the entrance to a two car garage. Follow the hardwood stairs down again and you’ll be delighted to find another huge open family game room with hardwood floors, a soaring ceiling, walls of glass, and another fireplace;  two more ample office / bedrooms, another full bath, the laundry, a large storage room and utility room. Now through sliding  glass doors to another enormous deck, then down along the raised boardwalk that follows a woodland garden through a drycreek and up to an enchanting tree encircled patio, a secret place to relax after a long day.
Perfect for entertaining on any scale, perfect for private family moments; very possibly, it’s just the perfect house…
…Welcome Home.

Changes to Settlement Documents and Procedures

You may have heard that the "sky is falling" over the changes to settlement documents and procedures coming August 1st. Fear not. Without going into specific, sometimes confusing, details, it is a positive change for the consumers. The documents lenders and settlement agents will be required to produce are easier to read and more straightforward than before. After a little time we are sure it will be "business as usual".

The whole idea behind the law was to help consumers understand clearly the costs associated with settling a real estate transaction and the actual cost of acquiring and paying a mortgage. The new required disclosures help make this information easier to understand. In addition, estimates given by lenders before closing can not be exceeded. If the actual costs exceed the disclosures from the lender, the consumer is protected against any "overages". It is easier to see the actual payments of a loan over time, and what the payments are going to, like principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.

Now, it's not all good news. There are more stringent time contingencies that must be followed. If the time restrictions are not met, settlement could be delayed. It will become even more important to have an experienced agent working with experienced settlement agents, and a lender that is prepared for the changes. That's where we come in. With the "team" of professionals we have worked with over the years, your future transactions should be just as easy as before, with more clarity for you. The changes in  the law and procedures mean a lot more work for the lenders and settlement agents, with more benefit to the consumer. It looks like Congress may have gotten one thing right.

*****************************************************

On a personal note, we congratulate our eldest daughter, Callie Carnemark, who graduated from William and Mary Law School in May. She'll be staying in the area for at least another year, clerking for a Circuit Court Judge in Rockville come August. Between now and then, it's bar review...

Way to go Callie!
